3.5Aomori Prefecture Tourist Centerl ASPAM(506 reviews) - View of Aomori at a glance Thursday: 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Visitor Centers • Architectural Buildings
The A shaped building that is just 10 mins walk from the Aomori station. The building itself, except for the light up at night, has nothing much worth a visit. But the view from the top is a must go in the day. The entrance fee is ¥400 with a complimentary drink from the vending machine. The sight of the unmistakable yellow colored Hakkoda Maru permanently moored at the port, the horizon far out in the sea line, the unique express bridge were breathtaking. It would be icing on the cake if I could get a clear view of Mount Hakkoda. Alas, the summit was partially abscured by the cloud. Even with that, the view was still spectacular. If you have the time, visit this place just once will be enough. Bring a good camera along for a good picture that says all about Aomori, it's sea.See more..

4.0Yamagata Kyodokan(93 reviews) - Very unique underrated museum Thursday: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM Architectural Buildings • History Museums
It’s a little museum, located inside Yamagata Castle Park, north of Yamagata Station, about 13mins walk (1.1km) Honestly, it was in our plan as it look like “just an old building. We decided to pay a visit while in the park, but it turned out to be a surprised. It was originally a local hospital in the 1900s and the compound was beautiful . The museum displayed a lot of medical equipments and medical manual used in the old days. There are some old photos of the medical team and patients as well. It’s free entry and definitely worth a visit if you are nearby. Do drop me a message if need more info, and give me a thumbs up if you find the info useful. Thanks See more..
