The most popular sightseeing spots in Akita. You can enjoy Japanese authentic culture and beautiful sceneries, such as several kinds of cherry blossams in spring and fall foliage in autumn.
Half Day Tour to Akita, Samurai Town with Licensed Guide
Explore old Samurai street with government licensed tour guide. We visit two samurai houses open to the public, miso and soy sauce shop and local handy craft museum and shop. Kakunodate is called as a little Kyoto of northern Japan, so the best season to visit is early April (depends on the year), but you can enjoy this tour all year long.

(10 reviews)Hi, Tony san Thank you for your wonderful comment. Although the cherry blossoms were not in full bloom, I am glad that you enjoyed the excursion. I called the restaurant about Justine's reading glasses, but they couldn't find them. I just hope they're hidden somewhere in her bag. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Best regards, Toru

“Best day during my week in Japan”
Our guide, Toru, was very kind, knowledgeable, & provided us with our favorite day during our week in Japan. He customized our itinerary and helped get us transportation to/from Akita & Kakunodate. We were able to leisurely enjoy the samurai houses, museum of cherry bark crafts, and then got a stunning view of Lake Tazawa. The place he recommended for lunch was also very delicious. He even gave us souvenir gifts at the end. I highly recommend this tour if you're in the area & highly recommend Toru!!

“Kakunodate/Lake Tazawa Tour”
Toru was a wonderful guide. He was very soft spoken and made you feel comfortable. Despite the rainy weather he made it worth your while. The place he suggested to have lunch was a plus. We loved the food. I would definitely recommend Toru to whoever wants to go see Akita.
