    A pine forest, the largest in Japan, sprawling along the coast in Noshiro City. Today consisting of seven million pine trees, the forest is equal in area to 163 Tokyo Domes. The forest was planted during the Edo period to prevent sand from the coast getting blown inland by the area's powerful winds. The area has been selected for inclusion in many lists, including a selection of Japan's top 100 natural areas people which to see preserved into the 21st century. Popular area highlights include a walking path paved with wood chips and a wooden playground and obstacle course where children can play.

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.
