Aomori Museum of Art
This art museum is 5-minute on foot from Sannai Maruyama Historical Site, the world cultural heritage site. The highlight of this museum is ALECO for the ballet, painted by one of the prominent artists in the 20th century, Marc Chagall (1887 - 1985).
I came here for Yoshitomo Nara's Aomori Dog. The museum's white building really stands out.
Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum
Hideyo Noguchi (1876-1928), born near Lake Inawashiro, was a world-renowned bacteriologist known for his contributions to yellow fever and syphilis.
The museum gives a very detailed introduction to the life of Hideyo Noguchi, the Japanese medical scientist. You need a ticket to enter.
Tokyo Disneyland
Known and loved as the “kingdom of dreams and magic”, this full-scale themepark is just a 15 min. train ride from Tokyo Station.
Out of all the Disney parks I've visited, this one was the most fun. The staff are super patient and always ready to help.
Okuhida Onsen-go (Okuhida Hot Spring Villages)
Okuhida Onsen-go consists of five hot spring resorts: Hirayu, Fukuji, Shinhirayu, Tochio and Shinhotaka Onsen. Located in the bosom of the Northern Alps, the open-air baths are blessed by nature with abundant natural hot spring water, and offer beautiful views of the mountains in each season.
I once stayed a night at Hirayu Onsen, and took the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway early the next morning.
Kokonoe “Yume” Otsurihashi
This is a large, 777-meter-high suspension bridge for sightseeing that spans the Kyusuikei Valley near the Kumamoto Prefecture border at the foot of the Kuju Mountain Range. The 173-meter-high, 390-meter-long suspension bridge, Japan's tallest pedestrian bridge, offers a thrilling view of the surrounding valley and is a popular observation spot.
This suspension bridge is surprisingly high! If you have a weak heart, it's probably best not to try it.
