I visited the Apple House in Hirosaki with my wife and two young children aged 3 and 1 years old. The experience was one of the best we’ve had in Japan. The host picked us up from the station and even though we arrived too late for the Sakura season at Hirosaki castle, he drove us up to the foothills of Mount Iwaki to see trees still in bloom. The family prepared meals for us from the food grown at their farms. It was some of the freshest and best food we’ve had in Japan. The apples from the farm were the best I’ve ever eaten. Even though we speak very limited Japanese, we were able to communicate well through Google Translate. The whole family was so warm and welcoming to our whole family. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. We highly recommend staying at the Apple House to anyone visiting Hirosaki!
