Hirosaki, a Historic Town

Hirosaki is a historical (well, parts of it) town with the old castle as the main attraction.

We had a great time wandering around looking at the castle, gardens, temples and shrines. We also saw old style samuari houses, a very nifty pagoda (see the piccy on the right) and even found a delicious parfait for lunch!

Our dinner that night was Japanese food again, but this time we got a non-fish set! That was quite a nice change, especially for Julie.

All said, an interesting old town and well worth a short stay to experience.
