The cherry blossom blizzard (called sakurafubuki in Japanese) is a special display that occurs towards the end of cherry blossom season. As the petals weaken, they blow off of the trees and float through the air like snow. It's a beautiful sight, especially at a place at gorgeous as Aomori Prefecture's Hirosaki Castle.

Ashino Park (Ashinokoen) is a natural park in Aomori Prefecture with lots to do and see any time of year, but it really comes to life in spring when the park's many cherry blossom trees bloom. All around the park, these flowering trees bring people for picnics, festival food, and much more. The adjacent train station is a great sight for train lovers, especially during this incredible season.
