What to know
The Fujita Memorial Japanese Garden (藤田記念庭園, Fujita Kinen Teien) was built in 1919 as a traditional Japanese landscape garden. The spacious grounds are divided into two main sections: an upper and a lower area. The garden is named after its first owner, local businessman Fujita Kenichi.
Several notable structures are scattered around the garden, including a traditional Japanese house in the upper section and a tea ceremony house in the lower section, both designed to offer views of the surrounding scenery. Near the entrance gate, you'll find a small archaeology museum and a Western-style house with a tearoom from the Taisho era (1912-1926).
Fujita Memorial Garden lies southwest of Hirosaki Park, about a 15-minute bus ride west of JR Hirosaki Station on the Dotemachi Loop Bus. Get off at Shiyakusho-mae bus stop, from which the garden is a five-minute walk away.
