History and Culture in Northern Akita
-
- Odate City in Akita is extremely proud of its history and traditions, and rightly so, it is home to several fascinating aspects of Tohoku culture after all, including Magewappa craftsmanship, Kiritampo rice cakes and the much revered bear hunting Matagi! The surrounding area also has a lot going for it, with an array of interesting history and activities ready to explore, not least of all the town of Kosaka which is just thirty minutes by car from Odate. In this article we will be taking a look at the various offerings both Odate and Kosaka have in terms of entertainment for visitors to the area who are keen to learn about its history.We will start in the quiet town of Kosaka. Once a bustling mining community, the local copper mine was the life and soul of the area when it opened in 1861 - it was the most profitable mine in all of Japan, and was in business for almost a whole century. After the mine closed there was a period of inactivity during which time many of the miners left, but the former premises is now back in business and is home to a “precious metals” recycling operation, giving the valuable metals inside old mobile phones and PCs a new lease of life. This is one of just three such recycling centers in the whole world. Kosaka Town The Kosaka Mine Office Visitors to Kosaka are welcome to step inside and read all about the past and present life of the Kosaka mine. The exhibits on display are in both Japanese and English, and the setting itself is well worth a look as well, as it incorporates both European and Japanese architectural styles of the early twentieth century, something that marks the era in which it was built (during the Meiji Restoration). Inside the Kosaka Mine Office Appetizer Set at Hokushu Club Preparing a Kiritampo Stew at the Hokushu Club Inside the Hokushu Club Magewappa Goods Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten in Odate offer visitors the opportunity to try their hand at making Magewappa goods themselves. Their shop has a well-stocked workshop and staff ready on hand to guide you in making your very own Magewappa piece to take home. The workshop takes around two hours in total and we also recommend putting some time aside to look through their collection of beautiful items for sale in the shop.

Discover Kakunodate's Historic Area
-
- Traditionally Kakunodate was considered a castle town and Akita’s home of samurai, and though the local iconic Kakunodate castle is no longer standing, there are still remnants of the town’s rich history scattered throughout the area. Separated into two main areas, the merchant district and the samurai district, the town’s samurai corner still boasts some of the most incredible samurai architecture you can discover in Japan. Most of Kakunodate has survived relatively untouched over the past few centuries, and a visit to Kakunodate’s historic hub is a must do for anyone with even a passing interest in Japanese history. Ando Brewery Ando Brewery Sitting in the merchant area of the town, Ando brewery is definitely worth a visit when you have the time. Ever since the 18th century this impressive brick building has been the home of Kakunodate’s delicious miso and soy sauce. Today visitors can learn a little about the production of miso and taste some of the brewery’s produce for free. There’s also a gift shop so you can pick up a little local omiyage on your way out. Aoyagi Manor Aoyagi Manor Once home to the famous Aoyagi family, this manor is a 400 year old local samurai residence and one of the area’s most iconic samurai sites. This large site houses everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the samurai as well as some of the Aoyagi family’s most precious heirlooms. A stroll around the manor’s garden will allow you to get up close and explore some of the stunning 600 different varieties of flowering plants and centuries old trees that now call the manor grounds home. During late April into early May there’s also an incredibly special species of cherry tree that blooms in the area called the Aoyagi eight petal red weeping cherry, it’s rumored to be the only one of its type in Japan. Denshokan Museum Denshokan Museum Overflowing with intricate and meticulously crafted samurai artifacts, a visit to the Denshokan Museum is a great way to fully immerse yourself in the city’s history. Stunning from the outside and the inside, the gallery space is very non-Japanese friendly with multi-language audio guides on offer and friendly staff ready to help you out with any questions you may have. The museum is open from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm (8:30 am to 17:00 pm during April to November) all year round. If you’re travelling by car it’s a 3 minute journey from JR Kakunodate Station. walking will take about 20 minute. Ishiguro Manor Ishiguro Manor During its peak the Kakunodate samurai district was home to around 80 families, making it one of the densest collections of samurai architecture and housing throughout Japan. These days seven houses in the area are open to the public, giving visitors a unique insight into the everyday lives of rich and middle class samurai families. The two most iconic houses are the Aoyagi House and the Ishiguro House. Now hosting museums and gift shops, the Aoyagi House is a great place to stop off and gather some historical context on the area. Though a lot more humble than Aoyagi, Ishiguro is still worth a visit as it boasts a tidy collection of samurai armor and clothing, as well as anatomical drawings and information.

Kakunodate Overview
-
- Kakunodate is a quaint town in central Akita Prefecture also known as the Little Kyoto of the Tohoku region. Founded in the 17th century, the town became a bastion for the samurai who shared the town with some of the best merchants of the day. The samurai are gone but their legacy and traditions remain almost intact, making Kakunodate one of the best spots in Japan to get a feel for the bygone era. For centuries Kakunodate was divided into two districts, the samurai district and the merchant district. Today, the main attraction is by far the former rather than the latter and a visit to this part of Akita is centred around the samurai theme and on the northern part of town. Along the picturesque street are Ishiguro Samurai Residence and the Aoyagi Manor, two of the best kept samurai homes. This side of town is also home to popular soba noodle shops, omiyage stores, and the Denshokan Museum which exhibits traditional arts and crafts pieces from the heyday of Kakunodate. Kakunodate has been known throughout history for its “kabazaiku” (cherry-bark art) and the Denshokan is the place to see it. The samurai district is best seen on foot or on a slow rickshaw ride. The southern part of town, the merchant district offers less historical attractions but it is still worth the visit as some architectural masterpieces still remain in this area. Ando Brewery, one of the iconic merchants of the Kakunodate, sits inside a beautiful red brick warehouse building and offers not only delicious miso paste and soy sauce, but also a chance to see historic memorabilia. This district is also home to shrines and local restaurants which tend to be less crowded and open later than those in the samurai district. Kakunodate is also known for its impressive seasonal festivities. In the spring, the town’s cherry blossoms adorn the historic district for the hanami festivals. The summer and winter offer the Sasara-mai lion dance and the Hiburi Kamakura beginning-of-the-year fire celebration. While in the fall, locals gather on the streets to celebrate Kakunodate Matsuri, the town’s own UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage contribution which sees 18 tall floats or “Hikiyama” parade around town that fight with each other for the right of way. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Nyuto Onsen - Tazawako Overview
-
- Located in the centre of Senboku City, Tazawako, or Lake Tazawa is a mountainous town bordering Iwate Prefecture which attracts tourists year-round thanks to the iconic lake which bares the same name, the renowned hot spring waters of the Nyuto Onsen, and a variety of outdoor activities both in and out of the water. This is a place to take slow, take in the nature, and while you are at it, take a picture or two of the beautiful landscape. Lake Tazawa is probably the biggest attraction in this part of Akita and especially so during the warmer months of the year. The area surrounding the deep waters of this crater lake (Japan’s deepest) is home to historical landmarks like the statue of Tatsuko, a legendary character in japanese folktales, and the imposing red torii gate of Goza-no-Ishi Shrine. Along with these striking sites, lakeside hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, and trails, are available regardless of the season and conveniently accessible either by car, bus, or bicycle. During the warmer months of the year, it is also possible to enjoy the lake waters on sightseeing boat tours, row boat, canoes, and even by taking a dip from a couple of small beaches. The mountainous side of Tazawako is only a few minutes away and just as impressive as the water down below. The main reason to move away from the lakeside and up the winding road is the Nyuto Onsen Hot Spring Village. This onsen resort village is cradled in between hills and made up of seven different ryokans each with its own hot spring source and secluded from the urban world. Some of these ryokans, of which one of the oldest is Tsuru No Yu, have been around for centuries. Besides finding the perfect escape from everyday stress, these ryokans are a relaxing trip back into japan’s feudal past and can be enjoyed with an overnight stay or during a day visit. The Nyuto Onsen hot springs are also secluded from each other but are connected by a hiking trail, driving , or by the village’s own hot spring hopping bus. The good times do not stop at Nyuto Onsen though. Not far from the hot spring village, Arupa Komakusa is an information centre, and the gateway to climbing Mount Komagatake. This is one of the highest mountains in Akita Prefecture, and if you love scenic (at a times challenging) climbs it is a must while in the area. The options are extensive in Tazawako and whatever you end up doing make sure to leave a few minutes to bask in the picturesque sunset scene from the Kuromoriyama Observation Deck. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

The area is separated into two main sections, the merchant district and the samurai district, both with their own unique quirks and reasons for visiting. Though the castle no longer stands, much of Kakunodate has survived relatively untouched over the past few centuries, making it the history buff’s ultimate dream. Kawarage Natural Hot Spring in Yuzawa Kawarage Natural Hot Spring in Yuzawa Sitting at the southeastern corner of Akita Prefecture is Yuzawa, the area’s hot spring mecca. Touching the borders of Yamagata and Miyagi, it’s one of the best onsen towns in all of Japan, and definitely worth a visit. One of the best locations to check out is Kawarage Jigoku, here a natural waterfall spills hot life giving water into the open basin. It can get extremely hot but around the end of June to the middle of September, the temperature sits at about 40 degrees centigrade, making it perfect for bathing. Lake Tazawa Lake Tazawa As well as samurais another impressive feature Akita is home to is Lake Tazawa, the deepest lake in Japan. Reaching a staggering 423 metres (1,388 ft), the Lake’s surrounding area is a popular vacation for locals and visitors alike. Given the fact that it remains rather untouched, the lake maintains its natural and iconic beauty. Dotted with several hot springs and resorts as well as Akita largest ski area, Tazawa Ski Area, which overlooks the lake, there’s always plenty of things to do here by Lake Tazawa. Oga Peninsula Oga Peninsula Jutting out into the Japan Sea, is the Oga Peninsula, located in western Akita. Famous for its axe like shape, the peninsula boasts some incredible sightseeing locations along its rustic coastline. Covered in crags and boulders, the peninsula is famous for its traditional event called Namahage, during which young people, disguised as ogres visit houses in order to rid them of lazy people, protect them from natural disasters, scare away evil spirits, and send blessings. Though there are so many things to see and do here in Oga, one must not miss experience is the Mount Kampu Revolving Observatory at the base of the peninsula, where you can eat lunch while enjoying a 360 degree view of the area. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Here are some transport options for every type of traveler. Bus Terminal Bus Terminal One of the highlights of visiting Akita is actually its bus terminal. Though it may sound like a bizarre tourist attraction, the Akita bus terminal is in fact a stunning piece of architecture. Built only recently, it’s constructed entirely from Akita Cedar that was harvested locally. Known as one of Japan’s finest woods, the architect behind the creation, Katsushi Nagumo wanted to make sure the terminal reflected the beauty of the area, which is why he enlisted the help of the area’s top cedar producers, thanks to Nagumo’s hard work and the work of the locals the terminal won a 2014 Good Design Award.

A Day Out in Oga
-
- On a visit to Akita Prefecture one trip worth adding to your travel itinerary is a trip to the northwestern coast of Akita and Oga Peninsula. Within Japan, Oga is recognized for its rich historical folklore and more precisely for the Namahage tradition. The Namahage which look pretty scary, are actually kind-hearted demons that besides calling out people (especially children) for their misbehaviour, are said to bring fortune and joy to local residents. This mystical story is a big draw to this area but it is not the only attraction and setting out a day or maybe two to explore this unique peninsula is gratifying. A Day Out in Oga Located on the edge of the Sea of Japan and close to Akita City, Oga is a convenient location for taking part in water related activities from swimming in its beaches to fishing. One activity we recommend to get your Oga journey started is an early-morning Kayak fishing trip offered by Guesthouse Oga. For 6,000 yen you can paddle with a friend around the bay for up to five hours and try your luck at catching the local fish. No prior experience is necessary although it is preferable. For an extra 4,000 yen you can ask for an experienced to accompany you. A Day Out in Oga Back on dry land, the journey continues up the mountain and onto the Shinzan Shrine. This historical shrine is located behind the Namahage Museum and is connected to the Namahage tradition. Beyond its spiritual importance, it is an awesome place to add a steep hike as you make your way through a path of old cedar and up to the Shinzan Five Shrines. A Day Out in Oga ©NAVITIME JAPAN.
