Stuck in the middle of nowhere, these so-called “tourist attractions” were sterile, unattractive, and excruciatingly dull.
Wow. Sheep. Sheep on a hill.
Really. The only things we saw there were sheep, a BBQ restaurant, a statue, and a souvenir shop.
In other words, this tourist attraction had no attractions and nothing attractive. Only tourists.
I still cannot figure out why those tourists were there. Or why I was dragged there.

Ohhh, Canada, sorry about this.
Fortunately for all sane and fun-loving humans, this pathetic excuse of a theme park went bankrupt and closed down a few years after it opened. (Image source)
Back in the closet.
The Ishihara Yujiro Memorial Hall, Otaru
Yujiro may have been the Elvis of Japan, but the museum is basically a walk through his very clean home, with its massive, very sterile closets, most of which are lined with thousands of Yujiro’s colorful plaid jackets and neckties. (Image source)It was no Graceland. It was excruciatingly boring. Probably still is.
News flash! – The Ishihara Yujiro Memorial Hall closed down on 31 August 2017. Woohoo.
Humble and hopeful suggestion – Close down Hitsuji-ga-oka Observation Hill. Please. ASAP.
