    Akita Senboku-shi
    "A famous spring situated along National Route 341 in Numata, Tazawa, Tazawako, Senboku City. The spring's name, which literally translates to ""Tea-Making Spring,"" is derived from the fact that the lords of Akita Domain would use its waters to make delicious tea. Even today, many people come here to draw and drink its waters, and there's even an unmanned shop where visitors can purchase a PET bottle to take some spring water home with them. There's also a farmers marker opposite the spring on the other side of the road."

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.
