弘前市の藤田記念庭園は、四季折々の自然を楽しめる美しい庭園。特に春の桜や秋の紅葉が見どころ。広大な敷地には洋館内に喫茶店があり、レトロな雰囲気が魅力。茶店もあり歴史的な雰囲気を感じられる場所です。また、庭園内を散策しながら静かな時間を過ごすことができ、観光客にも地元の人々にも人気があります。庭園の手入れが行き届いており、リラックスした時間を過ごすには最適なスポットです。

弘前公園から弘前市役所を越して徒歩５分くらい。最初は洋館を見に行くつもりだっったが、むしろお庭に感動。大きな松や茶室には思えない立派な木造の茶室。水琴の音色が楽しめる。大きな緋鯉が泳ぐ池。滝も涼を誘う。残念ながら、ここからの岩木山の借景を楽しみたかった。洋館のcafeは大人気。今度は真っ先に飛び込まなきゃ

古き良き日本の綺麗な庭園。隅々まで手入れが行き届いています。隣りにある人気のカフェの順番待ちをするのにも庭園を眺めながら散歩するのにちょうどいいです。
