About This Tour
This tour offers a well-balanced journey through Akita’s nature, history, and culture, following an itinerary actually experienced by travelers. Departing from Akita Port, enjoy a scenic drive through the countryside with a short break at Michi-no-Eki Kyowa before heading to Katamae-yama Observatory for sweeping rural views. Visit the mystical Lake Tazawa and the golden Tatsuko statue, then stroll through Kakunodate’s preserved samurai district to explore the Ishiguro and Aoyagi residences. Savor a local lunch featuring Hinai chicken and Inaniwa udon, shop for traditional miso and soy sauce at Ando Jozo brewery, and discover Akita’s festival culture at the Neburi Nagashi-kan Museum.
