Because of Hachiko's story, I became really interested in Akita dogs. You can find a lot of information about them inside the facility.

Kikuyo Shokudo Main Store
Founded in 1956, Kikuyo Shokudo Main Store started as a small establishment with about ten seats but has now expanded to accommodate thirty seats. In response to its popularity, the diner has grown to include several locations: a branch a short 30-second walk from the main store, a Bay Area store, and a New Chitose Airport store, serving locals and travelers alike with dishes made from fresh ingredients sourced in Hakodate.
The place has a traditional and cozy vibe, and the prices are reasonable. Their signature dishes include the three-color rice bowl, salmon roe bowl, and various sashimi platters, all made with the freshest local ingredients.

Kenroku-en
Kenroku-en was founded and developed for about 180 years by the Maeda clan lord in Kaga, which is a strolling-style landscape garden and one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan.
This is one of Japan's top three gardens. If you're in Kanazawa, it's definitely a must-visit spot.
