My hometown, Hirosaki is famous for good apples, beautiful cherry
blossoms and nice Hirosaki castle, you
know. Today, I am going to tell you another charm of Hirosaki.
Hirosaki has many European style buildings that were built in Meiji
era. People in Hirosaki at the time invited many foreign teachers and
missionaries to make Hirosaki university town. Owing to such civilization and enlightenment,
western style buildings were built and western culture was spread.
Look at the picture. It is the building for foreign teacher of former
Hirosaki High school. Sorry for my miss transration but you have ever seen it, haven't you? It is on the site of Hirosaki University now, so you can
visit there after school!
This is a picture of United Church of Christ in Japan Hirosaki Church, which is the first Protestant Church in the Tohoku district.
It is former Hirosaki city library in the Ootemon square near the
Hirosaki Park.
There are more old buildings in Hirosaki. They are very wonderful
and worth to visit. I hope you visit there and enjoy the atmosphere.
I wrote down the URL for you.
If you want to know more and want to visit them, this homepage will help you.
