Hirosaki Castle

Hirosaki Castle served as the residence of the Tsugaru clan and the administrative center of the Hirosaki Domain during the Edo period. Following an order to abolish castles in the Meiji period, it was preserved and later opened to the public as Hirosaki Park. The original castle keep was destroyed by a lightning-induced fire in 1627. The keep rebuilt in 1810, along with three turrets and five castle gates, remains standing today. These nine structures are designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

I came here just to see the Nara Yoshitomo dog sculpture. It took me a while to find it, but you actually don't need a ticket to see it.

Kinrin Lake

Kinrin Lake is one of many popular tourist spots in the hot springs town of Yufuin. The lake sits under Mt. Yufu and as such was called takemoto-no-ike (lit. “lake under the mountain”) for years. However, it was renamed to Kinrin, or “golden scales”, by Mori Kuso in 1884 when he saw the golden glimmering scales of fish as they swam at sunset.

Kinrin Lake isn't very big, so it doesn't take long to walk around. I recommend spending some extra time exploring the little shops nearby.

This place used to be a bank, but now it's an exhibition hall. It features works by local artists and also displays the history of the bank.
