Some of the Monuments Around Lake Kutcharo

	This is a cool arch on the way to the pillar below. It's located in the middle of a park golf course, which is sort of a bastard child of normal golf and mini golf. You only have one club - a mallet/putter thing - and the ball is fairly large. There are no greens and holes are about 100m at most.
	Here's another shot of the arch. You can see the point clearer in this one.
	And here's the pillar, complete with blue birds
	Here's the plaque at the base of the pillar. No, I can't translate that.
	Here's a cool mural of swans on the stairs leading down to the lake. If Hamatonbetsu has a mascot, it's definitely the swan. Sculptures, images, and banners with swans are everywhere, even on light posts and man hole covers.
	This one's on the next landing down on the same staircase.
	And here's a sign in front of the lake itself
	Here's one of the many mosaics on the sidewalk
	...and here it is without the flash. The lights blink, so the timing for this one was tricky. Still looks cool though.
	Here's the map in front of the lake in winter
	The pole-and-dock combination in winter, complete with swans taking off from the lake
	The other side of the lake has many monuments too
	I don't know what this one is for
	I like the little dogwood in front of this one. It only blooms for a short time though
	There's one other visitor's center at the lake which is visited less often. This is the sign near it
	And there's some nice sidewalk art too
	Here's the far visitor center at sunset
