- Akita Pref. Nikahoshi Kurokawa Iwagata 15-3
- This museum is dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Nobu Shirase, who came from what is now Nikaho City, and who led the first Japanese expedition to reach the Antarctic. Information on Lieutenant Nobu Shirase’s personal background and valuable memorabilia on the Antarctic expedition team are on display in the museum. There is also a life-sized play ship modeled on the ship “Kainanmaru” used for exploring the Antarctic situated outside in the museum’s Antarctic Park.

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.
