When you hear “Akita,” do you only think of the Kanto Festival? Actually, Akita City has so much more to offer than just its famous festival! From elegant maiko performances and a 100-year-old red brick bank, to peaceful castle parks and mouthwatering Inaniwa udon… this city is full of cultural treasures perfect for slow travel lovers. In this episode, we visit 4 iconic cultural landmarks in Akita City: ✅ Senshu Park – The ruins of Kubota Castle with a Japanese garden and peaceful shrines ✅ Akita Maiko Theater – Graceful dance performances and beautifully crafted bento meals ✅ Neburi Nagashi Museum – A hands-on way to experience the spirit of the Kanto Festival, one of Tohoku’s Big Three ✅ Red Brick Folk Museum – A stunning historic building that once housed Akita Bank’s main branch And of course, we couldn’t miss the food! We stopped by the century-old Sato Yosuke, a legendary local restaurant famous for Inaniwa udon—smooth, chewy, and seriously addictive. We also picked up some adorable Akita dog-shaped wagashi (Japanese sweets) called Morokoshi—a perfect souvenir and so photogenic! So… were you as surprised by Akita as we were?
