Hirosaki City(弘前市)


< Hirosaki City, Aomori >
The Hirosaki area of Aomori is famous for its delicious apples.  The city has many Buddhist temples, so the Buddhist Swastika symbol and a large apple are incorporated on many of its manhole covers.  Hirosaki is also famous for its castle and cherry blossom (sakura) festival on the castle grounds.  The city also holds a Neputa Festival parade with ornate rice paper floats in August, and a snow festival in February.


<青森県弘前市>
青森県弘前市のリンゴは美味しくて有名です。
またこの地方には沢山のお寺があり、仏教の象徴の(まんじ)と大きなリンゴがマンホールカバーの蓋に描かれています。
