After the amazing AOMORI Motsuke Matsuri we continue our travel to enjoy the winter festivals of Japan, arriving at HIROSAKI. Fresh snow makes the city beautiful but hard to navigate so let’s see how the locals deal with the sudden huge amounts of Snow! They have cute small Honda machines scraping and spewing the deep snow away! They have vents all along the sidewalks where they dump the ice that forms in front of their house! Big snow scrappers will clean the asphalt and if there’s a river, just dump it inside 😅😁!! I am staying at an antique and we’ll preserved traditional Japanese Ryokan Hotel KOBORI that even features a very expensive antique Hina Matsuri 3rd of March DOLL DISPLAY!! From here we will have a good base to go see the Snow Festival at HIROSAKI CASTLE just 15minutes on foot from Kobori Ryokan and next day we will visit the Tsugaru-Han Neputa Village Museum!! Wonderful winter wonderland, so very lucky 2020!!
