    Akita Pref. Kadunoshi Osarizawa Shishizawa 13-5
    An abandoned mine for the copper mines in Osarizawaaza Shishizawa, Kazuno City with mine deposits discovered in 708, Osarizawa Mine long contributed to Japan’s mining industry until it was closed in 1978, only to be opened to the public as mining ruins. You can try out some gold panning and other programs, you can tour the 1.7 kilometer-long mine. It is a valuable industrial heritage.

    とにかくその規模に圧倒されました。これまでいくつも鉱山を見て来ましたが、ここまでダイナミックな鉱脈や発掘現場を見られるところはないと思います。とても勉強になりました。30分から40分歩きます。急な坂などはなく、歩きやすいです。特別コースプラス10分かかりますが、絶対おすすめです。

It was installed in 1935 as the faithful dog Hachiko was born in Odate but was lost during the Second World War due to the metal recovery orders. The present statue was restored in 1987 and was the symbol of the square in front of Odate Station before it was moved to its current location with the opening of the Akita Inu Visitor Center.

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.
