The area seems to be rich with heritage; there is a castle, several festivals, and a few temples. From what I can tell, it will be like the Lincoln of Japan but with mountains. Hirosaki is a little more spread out than the bigger cities, the cost of living is lower, and the weather is a bit colder. It is about 168, 000 people or so, which may be a bit smaller than Lincoln, but that's probably why they chose this location. They probably didn't want a little Nebraska boy to freak out in the city.
Enjoy these pictures that I have found online, and for some photos of the snow light festival check out this website: http://samuraidave.wordpress.com/category/yuki-matsuri/
