    Akita Kazuno-shi Hanawa Shindenmachi 11-4
    A roadside station located in the almost exact center of the northernmost three prefectures of the Tohoku region. The facility has a restaurant serving kiritanpo toasted mashed rice skewers and other local dishes, a cafeteria serving set meals, and a soba noodle stall, as well as a shop selling local specialty products and a farm fresh shop selling local agricultural products. Classes on making kiritanpo, yosegi-zaiku wood marquetry, and other local dishes and crafts are held here, as well. There’s an exhibit displaying some of the gorgeous floats used in the Hanawabayashi festival, and tourist information is also provided here.

    鹿角市を南北に貫くように走っている国道わきに、道の駅かづの あんとらあがありました。大きな道の駅で、物産品をそろえている物産館的な建物の他に、レストラン棟やトイレ・休憩スペース棟が建ち並んでいて、さらに有料の施設である祭り展示館もありました。 物産館棟には、地域の特産品の加工品などが並ぶスペースの他に、農産物などが並んでいるスペースもあるので、地域のスーパー的な存在のように見えました。

    初めていきました。自然豊かな環境の中にたたずんでおり、また、十和田湖に近く旅の途中によるには最適です。矢立峠から入ってきましたが途中の経路も景色がよく楽しいドライブで今度は青森側から入ってみたいとおもいました。

    Akita Odate-shi Nagabashiri Jinba 311

    秋田県と青森県の県境にある道の駅です。少しわかりづらく使い勝手はあまりよくないかなと思います。 売店やトイレは思っていたよりもコンパクト、レストランは充実しているかなという印象ですがなんとなく物足りない印象でした。

    道の駅と言っても、小さなお店があるだけで、殊更珍しい物は有りませんでした。 この道の駅は奥に有ります[お殿水]の方に興味をもって見学し、一杯飲んでみました。流れを途切れさせることも無く、竹の筒から流れ出る水に興味を引きました。

    じゅんさいもありましたが、少し足を伸ばせばじゅんさいの館があるし・・・農産物もありますが旅行中には・・・「是が非でも寄らないといけない!」という内容ではありません。ただ、コチュジャン味噌がここの名物らしく、これは「買い」だと思います。きゅうりと相性が非常にいいです。

Akita Areas

around-area-map

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.
