    Travel / Tourism
    Akita Pref. Kadunogunkosakamachi Kosakakouzan
    This street preserves much of its appearance from Kosaka town’s hay day as Asia’s foremost copper mine town. The town has a number of more modern cultural heritages, including the Kosaka Mine Office, lit up at night for a mystical sight, and the National Important Cultural Property, Tenshikan “angel hall.” Come enjoy a walk through history on the acacia lined streets.

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.
