TRAVEL GUIDE
Akita
Samurai streets, hot springs and northern landscapes
Walk the historic samurai district of Kakunodate, then consider Lake Tazawa or an onsen stay in the Nyuto area. Akita also has seasonal festivals and mountain scenery. Allow time for local connections rather than assuming these places fit into a single day.
