Usually, it's just a park for jogging or walking, but during cherry blossom and autumn foliage season, it totally transforms into a super popular spot.

Dogo Onsen Station
Dogo Onsen Station of the Iyo Railway city tram is the closest station to the famous "Dogo Onsen", believed to be Japan's oldest hot spring.
The clock show in front of the station is really fun! Every hour, it draws a big crowd to watch.

Akizuki Castle Ruins
Nearly at the center of Fukuoka, Akizuki is a valley at the foot of Mt. Kosho about an hour away from Fukuoka City. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, hard to attack and easy to defend, the valley was chosen for Lord Akizuki’s mountain castle. Later in 1623, according to Kuroda Nagamasa’s will, Akizuki Domain was established as a branch of Fukuoka Domain.
Getting here isn't very convenient, but seeing the beautiful autumn leaves inside the castle made it totally worth it.

Hirosaki Castle
Tsugaru Family resided in this castle in the Edo Period where the government of Hirosaki Feudal Domain was set up. In the Meiji Period, according to the ordinance to abolish castles, it was abandoned and later became a park.
This is one of the most famous cherry blossom spots in Tohoku and is even considered one of Japan's top three places for sakura viewing. The moat gets covered with beautiful cherry blossom petals—it's honestly one of the most stunning sights at Hirosaki Castle.
