Hirosaki Apple Park is a city park of about 9.7 hectares in Hirosaki, a famous apple-growing area. About 2,300 apple trees of around 80 varieties grow here. Visitors can walk freely through the orchards with Mt. Iwaki in the background, pick apples in season, and look inside an old farmhouse with traditional farming tools.

Good to know

  • Apple picking is available from early August to mid-November. The season depends on the growing conditions, so check before visiting.
  • You can walk freely along the paths and enjoy views of Mt. Iwaki beyond the orchards.

Tips for Muslim visitors

  • During the harvest season (August to mid-November) anyone can try apple picking at the park.
  • Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
  • Restrooms for wudu can be far apart on trails. Many Muslim travellers carry a small water bottle for wudu.
  • Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Aomori and the verified places to pray nearby.
  • Food stalls and shops near popular sights usually do not have halal certification. Check the ingredients, or choose from the verified places on this site.
