In a few episodes of Flying Witch one of Hirosaki's biggest tourist attractions, Hirosaki Castle, is shown.
Image from Episode 2 - 00m29s
The castle walls are under renovation so the castle keep has been moved away from the foundation, but this is the correct location.
Image from Episode 2 - 00m32s
The castle is located inside Hirosaki Park where there's also a botanical garden where this pond is.
Image from Episode 2 - 00m38s
Lots of koi fish in the pond.
Image from Episode 4 - 00m06s
This is outside the park near one of the entrances.
Image from Episode 4 - 00m07s
In the building to the left in the back there's a tourist information office where you can rent bicycles.

No sakura trees blooming since I visited in the fall.

Park entrance. I've marked a path from the tourist information office to this entrance in the map below.

Just inside the park from the entrance.

The bamboo fence in the background is the same as in the anime.

Chinatsu behaving energetic.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m00s
The picture I took is on the wrong side of this bridge, so I had to flip it. I checked out the other side too, but I couldn't get a good picture from there since there were some renovation work going on there as well.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m03s
A picture of the castle keep itself at the location where it's been moved to. I also saw a model of the keep at Hirosaki Station.
You can see the work they're doing on the foundation as well.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m06s
Everybody checks out Hirosaki Castle from the bridge.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m17s
Makoto tells Kei that they should get somebody else to take a picture so everybody can be in it.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m24s
An old woman walks by.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m32s
And Kei asks her to take the picture.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m35s
Chinatsu waves at the old woman's dog.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m40s
The old woman takes the picture.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m51s
And then she walks away.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m57s
Kei is supposed to have a Sony Xperia phone, so since I had one as well, I tried to match this shot.
Image from Episode 4 - 01m14s
You can see an Wperia logo on the phone in the anime shot. I also took a picture of me displaying the anime shot on my phone. Witchception ^_^
Image from Episode 4 - 21m05s
Later in the same episode Inukai flies over the castle.

Castle detail.

This is a shot from the stairs leading up to the building where the tourist information office is.
When I took a bus from Hirosaki Station to a bus stop near the park I also saw this Flying Witch decoration at the bus stop.
