Like a small Central Park of the city. There is a botanical garden around the castle. Also, Civic Center is nearby. Definitely pay a visit if you stay more than 24 hours here in this city.

The park surrounding the castle is absolutely beautiful, and especially in the spring or fall. The story of the castle is fascinating, not the least in modern history, as it has veen uprooted and moved in 2015 and now prepared for another move. The inside is very nice and the area around it is very spacious and pretty.

I walked into the park and felt that little lift you get when a place is even prettier than the photos. The trees were glowing in every shade of autumn, yellow and orange and bright red with a few soft pink leaves catching the light. The castle peeked through the branches like a postcard come to life. The moat worked like a mirror and doubled the colors so well that I kept stopping just to stare. What I loved most was the mood. Cool air, the quiet crunch of leaves, couples moving slowly, and kids chasing tiny piles of red maple. I took too many photos, then put my phone away and just stood there. It felt good to be small in a big beautiful scene. Tips from my visit. Come early for calm paths and kind light. Walk the full loop around the moat, cross a few bridges, sit for ten minutes and watch the reflections ripple. Wear comfy shoes. Bring a spare battery if you are a photo person. I left with cold fingers and a very warm heart. I would come back in a heartbeat.

To fully tour the whole area which includes the botanical garden, Fujitsu memorial garden, and the castle, you would need a good 2-3 hours with plenty of walking but it's worth it. To go to Fujita memorial garden, you would need to walk out of the Hirosaki park. Too bad we were several weeks too early for the fall foliage festival at the park. The castle is rather small but the park grounds are quite massive.

Absolutely beautiful gardens. The autumn colours are gorgeous and you get a great mountain in-the-distance view as well. Worth the visit and cater for about 2 hours. Admission is ¥320 per adult. Visited on 1st Nov, 2025.

We visited on the last day of the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival. Most of the sakura in the garden had already fallen, except for those along the main road and around the castle, thanks to the various cherry tree varieties. We recommend visiting during the third or fourth week of April for the best experience. However, in other parts of the city, visitors can still enjoy cherry blossoms in full bloom, especially along the road leading to Mt. Iwaki.

Went here in the last week of April this year, my first spring trip in Japan. When they say spring, Hirosaki Park and Castle definitely is a must..and was speechless by the beauty which welcomed us. Cherry blossoms and petals wherever you go, pruned differently to represent how apples are pruned in the area. Despite the large area, food stalls are available at designated sections of the park as well.

I was there in spring, this park became green scenery with some flowers left to decorate the park. Mount Iwaki can be seen from here. It would be nice if it is cherry blossom season. Park itself is free. Public toilets are available.

Stunning park in the cosy old town of Hirosaki. I visited during the autumn Chrysanthemum and Maple festival, which immediately made it one of my favourite spots in Japan. The colours and atmosphere both were amazing. We took a boat ride on one of the castle's moats, with a very hearty, joyous guide. It was a stunning day.

A pleasant park surrounding Hirosaki Castle. The vast majority of the park is open without paying a fee. Some areas closer to the castle are onoy available after paying a fee. Beautiful in the spring and fall.

End Oct 2025. There was an event in the Hirosaki Park. It was quite chilly at night. It starts from 4 pm and we went there at about 6pm. It takes us about 2 hours to complete the place including taking pictures. The organizer has placed some fireplaces in an area for those people who felt cold. The autumn trees are really nice under the lights. Anyway, it is nice walk and for those who are not used to cold, do wear warmly. Parking was quite easy as it wasn't peak season I guessed.

Small castle but big garden … it will be very beautiful during Sakura period, I think

Nice Park for relaxing or meeting friends There are lots of shady spots for a picnic and easy to park. For a minimal fee, you can enter the botanical garden, castle, etc. We will be returning in Autumn to check out the becolors. Autumnal cokors.

Last visit some 20 years ago was just to see the cherry blossom and this is one of the famous site for it. This time round is to ensure the greenery offer by the park while enroute to the destination

Wonderful setting and lovely almost european coffee house

As much as we enjoyed Hiroshima Park, Fujita memorial garden topped our expectation. It's part of the entrance fee package we purchased which also includes the castle and botanical garden. There's a lot to explore and it exudes the sense of zen.

Excellent Japanese garden next to hirosaki park that one should enjoy! It is probably overlooked compared to the park and cafe but this was a really a gem. Incorporates the mountain and surrounding really well. You can sit there and gaze around at how well they have designed the garden!

If you enjoy looking around the japanese style garden, then you should come by before you leave Hirosaki.

This is definitely one of the top beautiful Japanese garden. The waterfall is impressive and it is located next to the castle.

Beautiful garden that is right next to Hirosaki Castle Park, yet does not get the number of visitors the bigger park gets!

beautiful

This is a particularly nice location and a very pleasant store. Convenient to Hirosaki Park and City Hall, it attracts a variety of customers. The food and drink offerings live up to Starbucks standards. The store offers a modern Japanese presentation. Very nice seating areas and complete with a garden view. It was a perfect place for a break from the Hirosaki rainfall.

It was maybe the only place in Hirosaki that opened at 7am on weekend. The apple pie was great, it had custard in it. Store exterior and interior set up were both so nice!

Good in general but the place is overcrowded by annoying tourists who is just sitting there for hours and hours!!!

A must visit Starbucks branch in Hirosaki A beautiful and historical building with the smell of sincerely brewed coffee. A perfect match for the summer afternoon! Don’t forget to visit the castle and having a short walk in Hirosaki Park.

This Starbucks is amazing! The shop itself is really nice. It’s historically registered place. So looks nice! Is is modified for the Starbucks. There are spacious inside. And some rooms here. You can find comfortable tables or sofa! It’s really nice Starbucks so far! You can see moats surrounding a castle from the window. There are a public parking by the Starbucks with cheep pay, enjoy!

Super cute and so well blended into local atmosphere. The staff were so polite and fast moving. Very amazing place to be.

Beautiful rustic Starbucks. Picturesque exterior with modern yet matching interior. Chill vibes with the pristine Starbucks feel.

The food here is amazing. The Japanese style pancake is very different from the western style. It is thicker, softer and melts in your mouth. The strawberries are fresh and the jam are wonderful but is a little sweet for me. The stew beef is very tender and full of flavors. The sauce is strong in flavour and salty which makes it perfect when eaten with the white rice that comes with the dish. Coffee is too mild and weak for me. The restaurant is extremely clean and the table and chairs are wipe clean after every departing patron.

Nice galette. Nice salad dressing that pairs well with the scallops. The salmon was ok. The scallops is the one giving the flavour.

A very foreigner friendly shop with English menu. Food is nice and price is reasonable. Although we are allowed to sit inside for only 50 minutes due to peak lunch hour, it is understandable and not a problem for us. (Who stays in a restaurant for over one hour during a travel anyway?)

Love this cafe!! We always eat here when we went to Hirosaki. It’s on the second floor of the building/ music hall. It’s a bit hard to find it the first time. The menu has varieties, but we love the scallops galette and fruits pancakes. Atmosphere is nice. Service is fast and friendly.

I don’t recommend the risotto because it was so small and expensive. Pasta and other things might better. The restaurant was peaceful with nice decoration 👍🏻

Reasonably priced. Came here to escape the wind during Sakura season. Nothing special about this food at all.

Unique beef curry rice with supreme dessert

English friendly with an English menu that is as comprehensive as the Japanese menu. They have a special soba every month and I managed to try the shigusa soba which was the special for February: essentially an amazake flavoured soup base with mustard greens and pork. Very hearty on a cold winters day. Large prawns for tempura and good range of selection would recommend going if you’re near hirosaki castle which is only a walking distance away!

The monthly soba special with chicken, cucumber and walnut sauce was so good on a hot day. We walked here after visiting Hirosaki Castle. Some of the best tempura!

After visiting Hirosaki Park, we went here to get lunch. Ordered the cold soba and tempura and it was delicious. Great staff! They also spoke English and had an English menu.

The mekabu soba is probably the best soba I have ever had. Many thanks to the staff for teaching me how to stir it for the best taste.

Delicious hot soba with an option for 100% buckwheat noodles. The cold soba and tempura looked great as well. Helpful staff and a full English menu.

Delicious zaru soba and udon! Friendly staff. English menu available if needed.

Expensive for the poor quality... of both tempura and soba. Tempura skin was too thick. Cold soba is not chewy, just feel very hard... didn't finish it as it was not tasty

(Translated by Google) The soba noodles are unique and thick. However, the texture is soft🙆🏻 You can taste the flavor of soba in abundance, so if you love soba flavor, you should definitely try it at least once! ! Since you can chew the food thoroughly, it is easy to feel full. The egg fried rice is delicious. Maybe I should try copying it at home 🐣 (Original) お蕎麦の麺は唯一無二、太め。ですが口当たりは柔らかくて🙆🏻 蕎麦の風味をふんだんに感じることができるので、お蕎麦風味が大好きな方へぜひ一度食べて欲しい！！ しっかり噛むことができるので、満腹感も得られやすいです。 卵かけご飯が美味しいです。おうちで真似してみようかな🐣

(Translated by Google) It's crowded at lunchtime, but we were seated without waiting. The soba noodles are delicious, but the noodles are short, so I'm an Edokko and can't slurp them up, which is a shame. The tempura shrimp is big and plump, and delicious. The young man in charge of the dining area (a part-timer?) is very attentive. The owner has blonde hair and is a rock fan. I'm intrigued by the blue container next to the parking lot (is it for band practice?). (Original) お昼時はやはり混んでいますが、待たずに席に案内してもらえました。お蕎麦は美味しいのですが、麺が短めで江戸っ子の私としてはすすれなくて残念。天ぷらの海老が大きくてプリっとしていて美味しいです。ホール担当の若者(バイト？)は、よく気が利いていいです。店主さんはブロンドのロック系です。駐車場の横にある青いコンテナが気になります(バンドの練習用？)

(Translated by Google) It was busy at lunchtime, but they seemed to let us in once they cleared the seats. They explained that it would take a while for our food to be served. This restaurant is famous for its handmade soba noodles made from 100% buckwheat flour. My daughter ordered a small tempura bowl, my husband ordered duck soba, and I ordered chilled soba noodles with chives and a hot spring egg. The noodles were quite thick and hearty. The soba noodles were topped with chopped chives and ginger pickled in oil, and we enjoyed them with the egg. The soba soup was also delicious. (Original) お昼時で混んでましたが、お席を片付けたら入れますという感じ。提供までお時間が多少かかりますとご説明あり。 蕎麦粉100%の手打ち蕎麦、有名なお店です 娘天丼小、旦那鴨せいろ、私はにら蕎麦温泉卵冷やし蕎麦を。なかなか太めのごっつりとした手打ちそばでした。 刻みにら生姜オイル漬け？が乗った蕎麦、卵を絡めて美味しくいただきました。蕎麦湯も美味。

(Translated by Google) It's delicious and the portions are more than enough. It's a bit hard to find in Tokyo. It must be popular because there were always people coming in. Even though it's quite far from the city center, it felt like everyone was there. (Original) 美味しいのに量も十分すぎる 東京だとちょっとない感じ 人気なのかひっきりなしに人が来てました。結構中心地からはなれてると思うんだけど。みんな来ようとしてきてる感じでした。

(Translated by Google) I visited this restaurant because I wanted to eat some delicious soba noodles. I thought the service was good. The soba noodles were hard and difficult to eat, and I thought the tempura would have a lot of crunchy batter, but because there was so much, the inside was full of raw flour, which was awful. Terrible! I thought it would be better for me to say something directly, but I didn't want it to seem like I was trying to bargain, so I didn't. The tempura is so bad. I wonder how long they've been doing this... It was quite disappointing. The raw batter felt gross in my mouth and I couldn't eat it. The chive rice had a bit of a strong flavor, so some people might not like it. Some people may like it. I thought it was inevitable because the service was good, but the service was poor towards the end, maybe because it was the last order... The woman paying the bill was unfriendly. It was quite expensive, so I was expecting decent food, but I'm disappointed in many ways. It's unacceptable that the tempura flour is raw. (Original) 美味しいお蕎麦が食べたく 訪店しました。 接客がよく感じました。 お蕎麦ですが 硬くて食べにくく 天ぷらは衣がガリガリと多いかと思いきや 衣が多いから中の方は生の小麦粉で最悪でした。不味い！ 直接言った方が今後のためになるかと思いましたが なんだかんだ言って値引き交渉だと思われたくなく言いませんでした。 天ぷら 下手ですね。何年やってるのか……残念でした かなり。 生の衣が口の中で気持ち悪く 食べれず。 ニラのご飯はちょっと くせが強く 苦手な人もいるかなと。好きな人もいるでしょう。 接客がいいから仕方ない我慢しようとしてたけど、最後あたり サービスが良くなく もうラストオーダーだったからか。。 会計の時の女性の方が 無愛想でした。 結構な値段だったので それなりの料理を期待してたけど 色々残念な気持ちです。 天ぷら粉が生って有り得ないなあ。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way to lunch. They take orders until 2 p.m. I arrived at 1:30, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to eat. There was a line, so I wrote down my name and car number, and they came and called me. I had soba, and it was a pretty big portion, so I left some. I'm a small eater. The buckwheat jelly was fine. They served apple sorbet at the end. They only accept cash; no cards. It's delicious, but it's light. (Original) 점심먹으러 가는길에 들렀어요..두시까지 주문받어요.한시반에 도착해서 못먹을까 걱정했어요.사람들 웨이팅있어서 이름적고 차번호적구 기다리면 차로와서 부르더라구요. 소바먹었구양이꽤되서 남겼어요.저는소식가 메밀묵 괜찮았어요.마지막엔 사과샤베트 주더라구요. 오직 캐시만받아요.카드안되요.맛있어요.담백합니다.

(Translated by Google) I ordered the egg dipping sauce. The warm egg dipping sauce was a delicious match with the soba! (Original) 玉子とじせいろを注文しました。 暖かいたまごのつけ汁は蕎麦とマッチして美味しかった！

Aomori has a fantastic Nebuta Festival in summer. But if you are visiting outside the festival time you can still go to the museum and see what it’s all about. You can see the way the giant floats are made and learn about how it all started. There’s also a restaurant and gift shop of course. The restaurant is self ordering on the digital menu which was a bit difficult to work out. The restaurant is licensed. Food was good.

A great place to spend a few hours at! This museum shows the Hirosaki style neputa, which is different from the ones people usually associate with Aomori Nebuta. There are regular live shamisen shows, and there’s a workshop to try your hand at the traditional Aomori crafts. The museum itself is small, but it’s filled with lots of neputa lanterns and artifacts explaining the history and culture of the festival.

Such a fun and informative place! The staff were very considerate and explained everything in English about the history of the festival. The exhibits were so beautiful, but the highlight was the Taiko/flute performance and the shimasen performance. So beautiful (I even got a chance to join and play the drums ... badly, but I tried!) Highly recommend for anyone in the area to visit!

Beautiful lanterns, nice short performance by a very well Eng speaking staff. I also participated to play the drum; good experience. Nice Japanese garden at the end of the visit route. Worth the ticket price; highly recommended to visit.

This is a village where they showcase the lanterns and crafts for the festival that is a main attraction in Aomori and surrounding villages and cities. A wonderful way to keep their traditions alive and going. Overall, a great experience.

Really cool display of giant floats that are iconic to the region. We watched a few musical performances and the making of kokeshi dolls. Worth admission.

The floats were absolutely stunning. Staff was really helpful in explaining about the festival (in English). The shamisen performance was a really nice touch.

Date of enjoyment: 17/4/25 Taisho tearoom is a museum and tea room all in one, we came here an hour after opening and it was packed and we had to put our name down and there were 15 people before us. After an hour we got a table in front of the terrace and the British vibes of the building comes through, waitresses are dressed in a suit and most of them speaks English. We ordered practically the curries on the menu and 4 different apple pies. I don’t think they bake the pies on site, they stock them from the bakeries and let’s just say the apple pies are amazing, there is nothing like it each one has its own unique flavour and their pastries are also flaky and crispy. The vegetarian curry, beef curry and baked curry is very much Japanese and very tasty without the spiciness. They provide Tabasco sauce if you need extra heat. All in all, this is definitely a place to visit if you want to experience different apple pies without going to the individual bakeries and short on time. Do expect a wait as this place is popular with locals as well.

We waited 1.5 hrs before we hv a table at the terrace. There were 6 tables at the terrace and 3 inside the shop. Given the number of diners and the limited seating, it’s no wonder it takes so long for the queue. They even set a limit for the eating time. However, the system allow notification via LINE or email thru QR code. So we first booked our place and went to the garden. We selected 1 beef curry and 3 different apple pies, plus an earl grey tea and ice mocha. It came up to 4092 yen. The curry was very average. Out of the 3 apple pies, the best one was the cut apple pie which was moist at the core. The other 2 whole apple pies were a bit dry. I hv eaten better apple pie before and so I would say it’s very average overall. If I did not plan to go to the garden, I would not wait for the food for 1.5 hrs! The service was very Japanese style service. Efficient, no smile, no nonsense, just transactional, eat and pay. For all its name, there’s nothing romantic or Roman about the place. But I let you be the judge of it. It does overlook a nice garden if you can get a seat at the terrace. My two cents worth. Hope it helps.

Had spaghetti and beef apple curry rice, with an apple pie dessert. Most raved about the apple pie. Honestly, not fantastic. McDonald’s had better apple pie. Tomato spaghetti can’t go wrong. Menu said it’s crispy crust but it’s soggy and disappointing. Not worth the wait. Just go for real hirosaki apple.

I almost never leave a bad review, but the reservation and ordering system here was so frustrating it deserves to be written while I’m still sitting in the restaurant. I booked a table at 1:02 p.m. and waited (and waited) until exactly 3:00 p.m. to be seated. When I finally ordered the curry, I was told it was sold out — apparently because after 3:00 p.m., the curry menu “isn’t served anymore.” So… if a staff member had seated me just one minute earlier, at 2:59 p.m., I could have had the curry? Good to know. To make matters worse, from the moment I booked until I got the email saying it was my turn, not a single staff member came out to explain what we were supposed to do. We just stood there awkwardly until someone eventually opened the door and told us the next step. The food? Fine. Not bad, but definitely not worth the endurance test it takes to get it. Even the apple pie wasn’t that great — honestly, you’d be better off buying one from the omiyage shops under the Shinkansen station. They taste better and save you the hassle of coming all the way here. The restaurant really needs to rethink its system — it wastes customers’ time, energy, and patience.

Vibes here were 12/10. Came here in the winter and you can see the bright, fresh snow outside the windowsills. The apple pies were all gut wrenchingly delicious. I wish I could have take some more with me to go.

This place is really popular for their apple pie, we took a number and waited around 30 minutes before getting a seat, it is a good thing that the view nearby is so beautiful, it is a great place to spend some time to explore. There are so many kinds of apple pie on the menu, we ordered two type to share, with a crepe as well. the pies are really fragrant with butter, apple has natural sweetness, it is so so good and we couldn't had enough. It is definitely worth a try.

The area is like a small park where there are this coffee room and some other historical decorated food shops inside. Good apple pie. The first apple pie on menu has little pinky apple piece inside which is tender sweet and little sour flavor making the whole piece goes very well with drink. Table over look the garden view is so cozy.

A very big tourist information center! It not only has a lot of information and resources about Hirosaki and Aomori in general, it also exhibits the famous huge paper lantern artworks and has a lot of space to rest before moving to the next scenic spot. A shop selling souvenir is also there in the facility. The staff at the counter is friendly and helpful.

They have a gift shop with apple products. Currently their restaurant is closed so no fresh apple pies, but they still have the apple pie guide and related merch.

Visitor center free parking in the basement for the first hour Free apple juice if you are a foreigner, fill out a survey

Nice place with air-con. Bought two post cards with price tags shown JPY100(110 with tax), the sales lady asked for JPY142, told me that one of the post card costs JPY132, after payment, she just went to torn off the shown price tag. Not a really good experience in Japan.

Very helpful, even if you don't speak Japanese.

Pretty nice interior with local souvenirs and food. You can rent bikes here for 500 yen, which is a great deal (apparently there are electric bikes for 1000 but they were not available when we arrived). The bikes aren't the best but we managed to get to Mt. Iwaki on them and back in one day with time to spare - though the tourist info person didn't think it could be done!

A nice place to visit and take a break after a walk around the city

Lovely building and so calm and peaceful inside. It’s a little small - you only need max 15 minutes in here

A really beautiful former city library. The color scheme of the interior and exterior is astonishing. Formerly used details and tools are well kept. It’s really nice to come to take some photos.

Nice exterior, free to enter!

A nice little historic building. Entry is free of charge, but don't expect too much other than soaking in the quiet atmosphere. Be sure to change into the slippers provided if you decide to enter.

I visited there but not to inside of this building.

An old and unique building compared to typical Japanese buildings

Currently under construction. You are not able to enter.

Visited during peak autumn colors and it was gorgeous. The grounds were glowing in reds and golds, and the whole temple felt calm and carefully kept. I loved the quiet paths and the soft sound of leaves underfoot. It was peaceful with very few people, so I could sit and take it all in. Come early if you can for gentle light and even more silence. A beautiful, serene stop that made my day.

A hidden temple inside Hirosaki, only a few tourist will come, and the maple leaf and ginko is well-combined with the temple's red!

Very quiet and peaceful Buddhist temple. Very well maintained.

Well worth a visit if you're in Hirosaki.

Serene temple with beautiful autumn colours. Such a hidden gem in Hirosaki.

Beautiful and peaceful temple, worth visiting

Beautiful five-stories pagoda. Worth a visit if you're in Hirosaki.

The ads are a bit misleading. This is a rest stop for big groups to eat and I went at prime lunch time alone and barely got a seat, had to wait. Also there was no performance. The food was very good though. But if you are alone maybe go somewhere else. The servers are busy with the groups so it takes a little bit for them to get to you. Definitely have a reservation if you are more than 2 people.

It's inside nebuta village. Very good local special curry.

(Translated by Google) 2025.3.14 I had the Tsugaru cuisine heritage gozen. I had a shellfish grilled toke soup set meal before, but there were only a lot of small dishes. However, the small bowl also contains local cuisine, so I'm personally satisfied. When you travel, you have to try the local cuisine! When you go to various places, why not try the local cuisine? It wasn't written on the menu, but I think it's Bakke (Fukinoto) miso. (Original) 2025.3.14 津軽料理遺産御膳を頂きました。 以前も貝焼きとけの汁定食を頂きましたが、小鉢が多いだけです。 でも、その小鉢も郷土料理が入っているので私的には満足です。 旅行に来たからにはその土地の郷土料理を食べねば！ 皆様も色々な地へ行った際、郷土料理を食べては如何でしょうか？ メニューには書いてなかったけど、ばっけ(ふきのとう)味噌かな。

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is located inside Neputa Village. It's been a while since I last ate here, when I brought someone here. Today, I stopped by while sheltering from the rain. The chilled sardine ramen has a sharp soy sauce flavor and just the right amount of sardine, which clings to the curly noodles, making it delicious, but the chilled pork slices are too fatty, so I minus one star. (Original) ねぷた村の中にあるお店。かなり前に人を連れてきたときに食べて以来です。今日は雨宿りついでに寄りました。冷し煮干しラーメンは醤油がキリッと効いて煮干しも良い具合で縮れ麺に絡んで美味しいのですが、いかんせん冷えたチャーシューの脂身が星マイナス1です。

(Translated by Google) This is a restaurant where you can enjoy Aomori cuisine. For just 2,000 yen, you can sample a variety of Aomori's famous dishes, which was very satisfying. Since restaurants in Aomori close early, it's best to eat there early to enjoy local cuisine. Even in Aomori City, some restaurants close as early as 6 PM, even on Saturdays. 😂 (Original) 青森料理を頂く事が出来るお店です 2000円のセットで青森の有名どころが色々と食べれて大満足です 青森はお店が早く閉まるので早めに地方料理を食べれる時に食べた方が良いですよ 青森市内でも早いところでは土曜日でも18時に閉まっているお店もありましたから😂

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is located inside Neputa Village. Parking is free/discounted if you use the restaurant. Because they serve local cuisine, it seems to be more popular with tourists than locals. The restaurant is bright and cheerful, and even though we had children with us, they provided chairs and tableware, which was helpful. (Original) ねぷた村の中にあるお店。駐車場はお店を利用すると割引/無料になります。地元の郷土料理を楽しめるので、地元の人よりは観光客の方が多い印象です。お店の方は明るく、子供連れでしたが椅子や食器なども用意してくれて助かりました。

(Translated by Google) Located right next to the Tsugaru Domain's Nebuta Village, it's a convenient place to eat after a visit. The location was arranged by the travel agency, and the seating is a bit cramped. The food is delicious, above average, and reasonably priced. (Original) 在津輕藩睡魔村的旁邊，因此逛完來吃非常方便。 旅行社安排的地點，座位偏窄，食物是好吃的，中等偏上，價格公道，不會很貴。

Fantastic food - best Western meal of this trip across Hokkaido and down to Tohoku. Excellent service by Yu as well. I went for the Chef's recommended menu ¥4800. Evrrything was very well executed and creative. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Do not be daunted by the experimental sounding cold apple cream soup - I didnt think it would work but it did, as well as the four hour stewed garlic pork in apple juice. I also loved their muscat sorbet paired with chocolate cake, and their appetiser. Three parking lots available in the adjacent building. Cash only. Fantastic english speaker and server Yu, very excellent chef. Went to heaven and back.

I had such a wonderful dinner here. Rumisan was so good to us. She served us with the utmost dedication and the cuisine was amazing.

Wow I love this place! It serves French food that does not break the bank. Had the recommended dinner course and opted for the beef main course and the pumpkin soup. The first course was the salad that came with salmon and scallops. It was very appetising and was a good start to the meal. The second course was a toasted bread with butter and it was soft and fluffy and I relished it. The third course was the pumpkin soup which was very rich in taste and had the natural sweetness of the pumpkin brought out. Delicious! The fourth course was the fish which was fresh and grilled just right. Even my mum who does not like fish praised it for the freshness and texture of the fish. The fifth course was the beef which was tender and had a herb sauce that accentuates the taste. The final course was a dessert set coming with a small scoop of sorbet, chocolate cake, a stick of chocolate and a panna cotta. They were not too sweet and were the perfect complement to end off the meal. On the whole, I love the meal and would love to come back again.

Wonderful food

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time on Sunday night at 7pm during Golden Week. While I was alone in Hirosaki, where I was staying in Hirosaki for my wife's return home, I couldn't make it to Curry & Coffee Kawashima, which I had planned for dinner.As I was thinking about what to have for dinner, I had a strong desire to eat French food, so I looked it up on Google Maps and found this Porto Blanc restaurant. I called them just after 5:30pm on the day of the day and said, ``I'd like to go now, but can I make a reservation today?I'm the only guy wearing jeans and a hoodie, but is that okay?''When I said, ``It's okay if you come casually, you can also make reservations.'' As for the course, I was told that you don't have to tell me about it when making a reservation, but you can just choose it at the restaurant, so I decided to ask about it right away. Although the exterior looks a little old, once you step inside it's clean and has the feel of a local French restaurant. The other customers seemed to be enjoying French cuisine in a casual and casual manner. I ordered the "this month's course". A full course of hors d'oeuvres, soup, fish dishes, meat dishes, desserts, bread, and coffee. In conclusion, everything was delicious from beginning to end. The hors d'oeuvres include scallop and salmon rolls, chicken rolls, and potato quiche served with a salad.The hors d'oeuvres have a refreshing taste, while the balsamic vinegar in between whets the appetite for the course. I ordered a glass of white wine, thinking it would go well with this. This glass of wine also goes well with the food. The accompanying bread is freshly baked, with a fragrant exterior and a fluffy, chewy interior with a delicious wheat aroma. It also goes well with butter. The taste of cold apple soup is indescribable, but it's really delicious. It had a strange feeling of being a soup with a slight sweetness, but it was a very delicious soup that seemed to have extracted just the flavor of the roasted apples, yet had a deep flavor. For the fish dishes, I ordered the sautéed sea bass.The skin was crispy and fatty, and the sauce was exquisitely delicious. The sauce was so delicious that I ended up cleaning the plate with bread. For the main dish, I chose the herb-grilled beef, and the beef was more tender than I expected, and the sauce went perfectly with the vegetables and potato mousse that came with it. The dessert was elaborate, with sourness, sweetness, and a slight hint of alcohol for an adult taste, but I enjoyed the various textures, and the espresso that came with it refreshed my mouth without any unpleasant bitterness, and it was truly delicious until the very end. I love French food, but since I had a child, I haven't been able to go there often, but thanks to this restaurant, I was able to enjoy an authentic French dinner for the first time in a while. It was a very satisfying night as we really enjoyed the meal. It was great to feel the sincerity of the customer service. This restaurant is recommended not only for families, friends, and lovers, but also for those who want to eat French cuisine on their own! (Original) GW中の日曜夜19時に初めて伺いました。 妻の帰省に合わせて泊まった弘前での一人行動時間、夕食にと考えていた目当てのカレー&コーヒーかわしまさんに間に合わず、晩ごはんどうしようか…と考えていたら猛烈にフレンチを食べたくなり、Googleマップで調べて営業していたのがこちらのポルトブランさん。 当日17時半すぎに電話して「今から行きたいんですが今日予約取れますか？ジーンズにパーカーというカジュアルな装いでして、男一人なのですが大丈夫でしょうか…」と伝えたところ、「カジュアルにお越しいただいて大丈夫ですよ♪ご予約もお取りできます」と快いお返事。コースも、予約時に伝えなくてもお店で選べば大丈夫とのことで早速伺うことに。 外観はやや古いものの、中に入ると小綺麗で地元のフレンチレストラン、という感じでいい雰囲気。他のお客さんもかしこまり過ぎずカジュアルに思い思いにフレンチを楽しんでらっしゃるご様子。 コースは「今月のコース」を注文。オードブル、スープ、魚料理、肉料理、デザート、パン、コーヒーのフルコース。 結論から言うともう、最初から最後まで全部美味しかったです。 オードブルはホタテとサーモンのロール、鶏肉のロールとポテトのキッシュが入ったサラダ添えで、しっかりさっぱりと味わえつつ合間のバルサミコ酢がコースに向けて食欲をそそる。 これは白ワインが合うなとグラスワインを注文。このグラスワインがまた料理に合う。 付け合わせのパンも焼き立てで表面は香ばしく中はふっくらもっちり、小麦の香りがして美味しい。バターにも合う。 りんごの冷製スープはなんとも言えない味わい、これがしかし本当に美味しい。ほんのり甘味を感じつつもしっかりとスープという不思議な感覚ながら、焼いたりんごの風味だけを取り出したような、それでいて味わいも深く、とても美味しいスープでした。 魚料理はスズキのソテーを注文、皮がパリッと脂の乗ったスズキのソテー、ソースがまた絶妙に美味しい。ソースが美味し過ぎてパンでお皿を掃除してしまうほど。 メインは牛肉の香草焼きにしましたが、牛肉が想像以上に柔らかく、これもソースが付け合わせの野菜とポテトムースとの相性も抜群。 デザートも凝っていて酸味、甘味と少しのお酒の香りが大人の味だけどさまざまな食感が楽しめて、一緒に出てきたエスプレッソも嫌な苦味がなく口の中をリフレッシュしてくれて、本当に最後の最後まで美味しかったです。 フレンチは好きなのですが子供が出来てからなかなか来れなかったところ、こちらのお店のおかげで久しぶりに本格的なフレンチのディナーを楽しめました。本当にゆっくり「食事を楽しんだ」という感じで、大満足の一夜となりました。 接客も真心が感じられて良かったです♪ 家族や友人、恋人同士はもちろん、ゆっくり一人でフレンチ食べたい方にもおすすめのお店です！

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is conveniently located near Hirosaki Castle and the Western-style buildings. There are four menu items, and I chose this month's recommended lunch, which uses many locally produced ingredients. ⚫︎Appetizer Scallop and salmon rolls and Tsugaru chicken roll salad. The salmon was lightly curry-flavored and delicious. The Tsugaru chicken roll salad came with quiche, and the pie crust underneath was crispy, and the minced meat had a meaty yet mildly appetizer-like flavor, making for a well-rounded meal. ⚫︎Soup For today's soup, I could choose between warm pumpkin soup and cold apple cream soup, and I chose the latter. I was worried it might taste like juice, but the apples were sweet and the acidity was nicely toned down, making it an authentic soup. I was right! ⚫︎Main Course You could choose from three options: today's fish, Aomori garlic pork simmered in apple juice, or sauteed beef. I chose the garlic pork simmered in apple juice. It was packed with vegetables like okra and lotus root, and the pork was tender with a good balance of fat and lean meat. The sauce was delicious, and it was absolutely delicious when I had it with bread. ⚫︎Bread It was soft French bread with butter. It's soft and I think it's easy for older people to eat. ⚫︎Dessert It came with three options: coconut ice cream, peach tart, and cream puffs. The ice cream was light, and the cream puffs were crispy yet fluffy. I wanted a refill just for that. ⚫︎Drink You could choose from coffee, tea, or apple juice, and I chose the apple juice. It might be the best apple juice I've ever had. It was relatively low in acidity, sweet, but not overpowering, which was quite exquisite. Needless to say, apples are a specialty of Hirosaki, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I really liked how they used apples. It's quite common for restaurants to focus on local specialties and end up with something that doesn't taste good, but this time they hit the spot. It's a really great restaurant that's easy to use for both groups or solo diners. The service was also polite, and we had a great time. The price was 2,900 yen. I was satisfied considering the contents. (Original) お店は弘前城や洋館街の近くの観光に便利な場所にあります。 メニューは４種類あり、地元産素材を多く使用した今月のおすすめランチにしました。 ⚫︎前菜 帆立とサーモン巻き、津軽鶏のロールサラダ仕立てでした。 サーモンが軽くカレー味が付いていて美味しかったです。 津軽鶏のロールサラダ仕立てには、キッシュが付いていたのですが、下のパイ生地がサクッとしているのと、ミンチがお肉を感じながらも前菜らしく優しい味付けで、前菜全体としてはうまくまとまった内容となっています。 ⚫︎スープ 今日のスープである温かいカボチャのスープとりんごの冷たいクリームスープから選択でき、後者にしました。 失礼ながらジュースみたいな感じかなと思っていましたが、りんごも甘味を感じながらもうまい具合に酸味を抑えた本格的なスープで、こちらをチョイスして大正解でした！ ⚫︎メイン 本日の魚料理と青森県産ガーリックポークのリンゴジュース煮、牛肉のソテーの３種類から選択でき、ガーリックポークのリンゴジュース煮にしました。 オクラやレンコンなどの野菜がたっぷり入っており、豚肉の脂身と赤身のバランスも良く柔らかく、何よりソースが美味しく、パンに付けていただいたらホントに美味しかったです。 ⚫︎パン ソフトフランスパンで、バターも付いていました。 柔らかくて年配の方も食べやすいかと思います。 ⚫︎デザート ココナッツのアイスクリーム、桃のタルト、シュークリームの３種類付いていました。 アイスクリームは軽い感じ、シュークリームのシューがサクッとながらもふわっとしてこれだけでもおかわりしたいくらいでした。 ⚫︎飲み物 コーヒー、紅茶、リンゴジュースから選択でき、リンゴジュースにしました。 今まで飲んできたリンゴジュースの中で一番美味しかったかも。 酸味が比較的少なめで甘さはありながらもどきつくないのが結構絶妙でした。 弘前は言うまでもなく名産がりんごですが、お世辞抜きでりんごの使い方がお上手だなと思いました。 名産にこだわり、結果として美味しくないパターンは結構多いですが、今回は当たりでした。 複数でもおひとり様でも利用しやすいお店でホント良かったです。 接客も丁寧で、良いひとときを過ごせました。 お値段は２９００円でした。 内容を考慮すると満足しました。

(Translated by Google) I had a full-course lunch for 3,700 yen! Everything was delicious! It has a more Aomori flavor than the French food at famous restaurants in Tokyo that cost over 15,000 yen, and it's definitely delicious! The new waitress was also very cute and hardworking, which was great! The supervisor's attitude was also very good! If it was closer, I would go there often, but unfortunately I can't 😰 (Original) 3,700円のランチフルコースを頂きました! どれも、凄く美味しかった! 東京で有名なお店のフレンチ15000 円以上するのよりも、青森色も出ていて絶対美味しい！ 新人の店員さんも、一生懸命で可愛くて、良かった！ 上司の方の対応も、凄く良かった！ 近ければ、ちょくちょく行くのに、残念😰

(Translated by Google) The seats are comfortable (Original) 席はゆったりしている

(Translated by Google) I used it for a banquet. It was nice that the food I ordered came out quickly. It was a shame that they only served sashimi, considering it's a fish restaurant. (Original) 宴会で利用しました。注文したものがすぐ出てくるのはよかったです。魚々屋というわりには刺身以外お魚が出てこなかったのは残念です。

(Translated by Google) I went without a reservation. The hockey was delicious. The futomaki and squid mince were also delicious. 1000 yen for two small side dishes seemed a bit expensive. (Original) 予約無しで行きました。 ホッケが美味しかった。 太巻きとイカメンチも美味しかった。 先付小鉢2品で1000円は少し高い感じでした。

(Translated by Google) It's crowded. It's delicious food. The staff at the shop have wonderful smiles. (Original) 込んでます。美味しい料理です。お店の人笑顔が素敵です。

(Translated by Google) Used for drinking parties at work and courses that include all-you-can-drink. There is a large selection and quantity of dishes, and the dishes using fish are delicious. Tatami seats. There is also a horigotatsu style room. Smoking is allowed throughout. (Original) 職場の飲み会、飲み放題付のコースで利用。 料理の品数・量が多く、魚を使った料理が美味い。 座敷席。掘りごたつ形式の部屋もあり。 全面喫煙可。

(Translated by Google) A normal izakaya. Somehow, I felt at home and was able to enjoy local fish. The appetizer was mentaiko mayo pasta salad and zenmai with sesame dressing. There seem to be a lot of rooms. The counter is close to the entrance and it can get cold when the door is open. There is a television set, and the president must be watching it when he has free time. The president prepares the sashimi right in front of you. He speaks in a friendly manner in the Aomori dialect. I think this is an izakaya that people who enjoy drinking while having a conversation can enjoy. The part-time clerk was also young and cute. (Original) 普通の居酒屋。なんとなく、アットホームでご当地の魚（そい）も堪能できた。お通しは明太マヨパスタサラダとゼンマイの胡麻和えだった。部屋数は多そう。カウンターは入口に近く、ドアが開くと寒くなる可能性がある。テレビがおいてあって、社長は暇なときはテレビを見ているに違いない。眼の前で社長が刺し身をさばいてくれる。会話は青森弁で人懐こい喋りをされる方。会話しながら飲む方には楽しめる居酒屋だと思う。バイトの店員も若くてかわいかった。

(Translated by Google) You'll be amazed by the onigiri! Try ordering some. (Original) おにぎりにビックリ！注文してみてください。

It really depends on you... I just did not like it. You might like it. Its reasonable. I expect more sweetness of Miso but I could not feel it at all. The soup is just salty and no umami. The vegetables were too well cooked. The noodle was also too well boiled and I felt it was too soft. The pork was thin and hard. If you like Sapporo Miso Noodle, I do not recommend that you visit. If you want to try Miso noodle which has been liked by locals, then just go and try.

Average miso ramen. Miso flavor is on the lighter side. Considered "soul food" of Hirosaki and has been around for a while. Edit: weird sweetness to the noodles; not a fan.

Pretty nice miso ramen and the price is good as well. The middle size is big enough for me, might be large size for normal Japanese food.

Locally famous Miso ramen. Must. Highly recommended. It is B1F inside the classic shopping mall.

Tucked away at the bottom of the Kawasan shopping centre. If the directions take you to the back, walk on in and it's on the left English a not great but google translate will help with any questions. They were able to make some accommodations or food requests which was great 👍🏾

Lot of vegetables, delicious ramen and not expensive.

An old style department store. Unlikely to have fasionable items here.
