- Akita Daisen-shi Takanashi Oshima 1
- The garden of the Ikeda family, one of the former three largest landowners in the Tohoku region. In 2004 it was designated as the prefectures first National Garden of Scenic Beauty. As the garden of one of the most prominent landowners in Japan it was designed by landscape architect Nagaoka Yasuhei who also designed the Momijidani in Tokyo's Shiba Park and Odori Park in Sapporo. The country's largest three-legged stone lantern and the prefecture's oldest reinforced concrete Western-style house (designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan) are symbols of the garden.
Akita Areas
Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
