Great place for families with kids. It's also really close to the train station.

Lake Yamanaka（Yamanaka-ko）
Lake Yamanaka covers an area of about 6.57 square kilometers and is about 980.5 meters above sea level. It is located at the third highest point in Japan. The lake is the closest to Mt. Fuji among the “Fuji Five Lakes " and offers beautiful scenery of the four seasons with the majestic Mt.Fuji.
The scenery at Lake Yamanaka is really beautiful.
But the spots are quite far from each other, so driving is the best way to see everything without feeling rushed.
Hirano-no-Hama, Nagasaki Lakeside Park, and the swan boat area are all easy to visit in one smooth loop if you have a car. -

Kitami Shrine
Founded in 1897 as a spiritual anchor for pioneer settlers, this shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, Toyoukehime no Kami, and Sumiyoshi Okami. It was originally called Gokoku Shrine, but in 1942 it was renamed to its current name. Revered as the local guardian shrine since the pioneering era, it is now also a popular spot for Hatsumode, the first shrine visit of the New Year, among Kitami residents.
The snowy scenery is absolutely beautiful. Visiting in winter feels really peaceful, and there aren’t many people around, so you can take your time walking around without dealing with crowds.

LEGOLAND Discovery Center Osaka
Originally launched in 1932 with a mission to foster “knowledge and learning through fun”, this themepark is dedicated to the same LEGO® blocks that are loved by kids and parents around the world.
It's a pretty strange spot. Adults can't enter alone—only if you're with kids? That seems odd.
