Japan - Hirosaki Castle Candle festival・4K HDR

🕒 02/12 5pm 🌡️ 1℃ 🚶‍♂️4km I had the pleasure of visiting Hirosaki Castle during its winter Candle Festival. Starting from my hand-made snow figure with the castle in the background, I took a delightful walk around the castle grounds. The surroundings were breathtaking, with snow towers and backlit classical Japanese neputa-e adding to the winter wonderland ambiance. As I walked, I passed through an area illuminated with candles stands, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Down by the moat, I discovered small snow huts with even more candles, creating a calming and serene environment. Continuing my stroll, I came across other snow figures and neputa-e stands, each with its own unique charm. Finally, I reached the area with food stalls and a full-size snow building in a colorful light up. After getting Ayataka tea, I headed back to the entrance, satisfied and content with the magical experience. No cats found 😹 🗺️
