Japon Louvre Sculpture Museum

It's named after its large statue of Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy. Located just past the Louvre Museum, it feels like one of the museum's outdoor sculptures.

Part of Sakakibara Onsen (榊原温泉), which Kiyosaku Nada considered to be one of the nation's top 3 onsen, Yunosho is a place where day visitors can come to enjoy the waters of Sakakibara Onsen. They have indoor springs as well as an outdoor rotemburo.

Hisai was the birthplace of Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor at Tokyo University later known for his loyal dog Hachiko. After Ueno died suddenly while teaching, for almost ten years Hachiko continued to walk to the train station every afternoon and wait for the professor to come home from work. This statue just outside the station commemorates Ueno's birthplace and the bond he shared with his loyal companion.

The original castle was built by Oda Nobunaga's son, Nobukane, and was completely destroyed in battle. The current layout comes from Todo Takatora and there is a statue of him in the center of the ruins. Although the second castle was torn down, the moat and some walls remain and one of the turrets has been reconstructed.

The shrine is one of the most famous places to enjoy plum blossoms in late February-mid-March.
