Activity itinerary

Samurai District

  • 1h
Begin your journey at the Kakunodate Samurai Residence Street, famously known as the Little Kyoto of Tohoku. Stroll through this beautifully preserved district featuring historic black wooden walls and majestic weeping cherry trees. You can step inside authentic samurai houses to see original armour and artefacts from the Edo period.

Tazawa Lake

  • 1h
Continue your adventure to Lake Tazawa, the deepest lake in Japan. Admire the stunning sapphire-blue water and take a photo with the iconic golden statue of Tatsuko. The legendary beauty of the lake changes with the seasons, offering a serene and mystical atmosphere.

Gozanoishi Shrine

  • 1h
A short drive along the shore leads you to Gozanoishi Shrine, located on the northern edge of the lake. The striking red Torii gate standing right by the crystal-clear water is one of the most spiritual and photogenic spots in Akita, offering a perfect moment for reflection.

Senshu Park

  • 1h
Transition back to the city to explore Senshu Park, a lush Japanese-style park developed on the site of the former Kubota Castle. Walk through tranquil gardens and along scenic ponds. It is a designated Place of Scenic Beauty, offering a peaceful oasis in the heart of Akita City.

Kubota Castle

Step deeper into history at the Kubota Castle Ruins to learn about the Satake clan who ruled this region for over 260 years. Walk through the reconstructed Front Gate and climb the Osumiyagura Turret for a panoramic view of the city and the distant mountains.
