Akita

Akita, nestled between the mountains and the sea, is a place of peace and authenticity. The city in the prefecture of the same name is known for its traditional Kanto festival, where skilfully balanced lanterns light up the sky. Equally well-known are the high-quality Akita rice and the sake made from it, which characterise the taste of the region. Historical sites such as Senshu Park and Kubota Castle tell of the rich past, while hot springs in the surrounding area invite you to discover and relax. Akita symbolizes the peaceful, authentic Japan - a place where nature, art and warmth are in harmony.
