I'm so enjoying your videos of Japan! My (ex) husband and I were both stationed at Misawa AB, Apr 1971-Nov 1972. We visited the Hirosake Cherry Blossom Festival, too. It looks just as beautiful and fun today. We lived off-base in a small "subdivision" just outside what was the back gate, at the time. I loved my time there. Thanks for sharing your Japanese adventure!
My favorite! It was just over a year in Yokosuka when I really noticed Cherry Blossoms. I was walking from the back of the Navy Exchange to Yonban tower via "L" street, which is lined with Cherry Blossom trees. As I walked along, a slight breeze blew some petals from the trees and the petals cascaded like snow flurries and my troubles went with them. As I continued to walk, enjoying the moment of zen, My peace was interrupted by a car full of naval officers seeking directions. So I put on my best Sandhurst graduate accent and explained that they need to make a left out of the intersection, go through the tunnel and sub group 7 was an immediate right on the other side!
Did you go there on a day trip or you stayed the night there? The round trip alone would have been 9 hours, but it's annoying to bring a large luggage around when we only stay for 1 night😂
It was so nice to read your detailed and authentic response. Thanks for the time you put into getting back to me. I really want you to know how much I appreciate that. :)
Lovely, thank you.

That's so cool! I would have loved to see Misawa in the '70s!
Northern JAPAN is so beautiful.
Agreed!
What a lovely video !! I will be there on May 04, to enjoy cherry blossom and take some epic photos
Wow so beautiful
So pretty! I miss the cherry blossoms!
Thanks for making this video, we're headed to Misawa this Aug
Awesome! Misawa is very small and very rural but there's plenty to do around the Tohoku region if you don't mind driving!
I was stationed at Misawa and loved it. Snow❄ and more snow❄
@@stephenhughley8081 Soooo much snow!
I went to this cherry blossom festival in 1981 awesome
Here's hoping for sakura when we're there
I was also there Aomori, Aomori is famous for its good apples.🍎
What time of year did you go? I'm thinking of going in late April 2024.

Cherry blossom season sure is magical!

We only live 2 hours from Hirosaki so we just made it a 1-day trip. If you're from farther away I would definitely stay the night!
@mattanddags could I participate in this for 1 day from tokyo?
Did they have a parade- they had a parade in 1981 and I ate bbq squid on a stick lol
No, this year there was no parade. Hopefully next year there will be one!
Game changer. I was there in 1974, I don't remember a parade, but I ate a bbq octopus tentacle on a stick.
Excuse me. Which date did you see Sakura in Aomori’s🙇🏻♀️🤎
The timing of cherry blossoms depends on the year but this video was filmed on April, 24. Usually, they are in Aomori towards the end of April.
