Rising above the tree line in rural Aomori, this eccentric 100-foot-tall dragon structure looks like the whimsical relic of a forgotten theme park. In reality, it serves as an extraordinarily over-the-top playground observation tower where visitors can ascend right into the beast's gaping mouth. Reaching the top rewards daring adventurers with panoramic countryside views and an exhilarating, open-air thrill. Often completely deserted, this hidden curiosity offers a delightfully quirky stop off the beaten track.
