Mase Valley Sanjugama

Travel / Tourism

Akita Yamamoto-gun Happocho

A scenic valley location in Happo Town, Yamamoto County, located along the Mase River which originates in the Shirakami mountain region. The name comes from 30 potholes called Oketsu carved out of the riverbed by stones caught in the river current (Sanju is Japanese for 30). The surrounding area has a series of paths allowing you to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery interwoven with the mountain streams including the Ouketsu potholes, unusual boulders, and verdant green new growth or changing autumn colors.
Komata Valley

Travel / Tourism

Akita Kita-akita-shi Moriyoshi

A virgin valley consisting of over 100 waterfalls, giant's kettles, and abysses, the source of the river which carved the valley lies in the untouched forest of the Noro River at the eastern foot of Mt. Moriyoshi. A 1.8 kilometer long walking path leads away from the Komata Valley boat dock and visitors can walk the path and take in the area's distinctive waterfalls. Stunning 20 meter tall Sangai Waterfall is the walking path's endpoint. Coming during the fresh verdure and fall foliage seasons is particularly recommended.

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.
