About This Tour
Hirosaki is a captivating city for architecture enthusiasts, with well-preserved structures from the Edo (Hirosaki Castle), Meiji, Taisho (Sakichi Horie), and Showa (Kunio Maekawa) eras. Among them, Sakichi Horie, a master carpenter representing Meiji-era Western-style architecture, stands out. Known for his exceptional skill and generous personality—always teaching others and indifferent to money—Horie attracted over a thousand mourners from across the region upon his passing, necessitating an extended funeral procession to the temple. This tour invites participants to explore Horie's architectural works, take a coffee break along the way, and trace the path of his funeral procession. It’s a journey through Hirosaki’s history and buildings, offering a deeper understanding of Horie’s character and legacy.
