จุดเด่นของ NTA!

Hirosaki City in northeastern Japan's Aomori Prefecture is the central city of the Tsugaru region, which is in the western part of the prefecture. It is about an hour's drive from Aomori City, and about 3 hours via Shinkansen and conventional line train from Sendai.

Hirosaki Castle showcases beautiful scenery throughout the seasons. This is a sightseeing highlight in Hirosaki, where visitors can efficiently learn about the history and culture of Tsugaru with an English-speaking guide.


The Former Hirosaki City Library and Former To-o Gijuku Missionary Residence are a valuable cultural heritage that illustrate the influence of Western culture on Japan's modernization. Learn about the history of international exchange during the Meiji period (1868- 1912) while listening to detailed explanations from an English-speaking guide about the lifestyle and education system at the time.
