Heritage meets Nature
Nestled in the heart of the Tsugaru region, Hirakawa offers a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty. The city is home to Seibi-en, a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty, renowned for its unique fusion of Japanese and Western architectural styles. Nearby, the Neputa Exhibition Hall showcases the world's largest fan-shaped Neputa float, a testament to the city's vibrant festival traditions. For nature enthusiasts, Saruka Park provides picturesque landscapes with its cherry blossoms in spring and lotus flowers in summer, while Shigabo Forest Park offers panoramic views of the Tsugaru Plain. Visitors can also relax in the soothing waters of local hot springs, such as those found in the Ōwani Ikarigaseki Onsenkyō Prefectural Natural Park
