Things To Do

Shopping

Take home a piece of Akita to share it back home with your family and friends, whether it be processed food made with harvest from the land and sea of Akita, or one-of-a-kind handicrafts made by craftsmen.

Michi-no-Eki

Michi-no-Eki are facilities that can be found in key areas throughout Japan, along major roads. They are a hub for local specialties like vegetables in season and gifts such as craftwork, and have stands or restaurants serving local traditional food and snacks, a perfect rest area to take a break during your drive.

Specialty Products

Fresh local produce are prepared into pickles for better preservation or ready made food and sold in various stores for you to take home and share with your family and friends.

Traditional Crafts

Skilled handwork passed on over the times have a special warmth that can not be emulated by mass produced items. Find a favorite wooden tableware or accessory as a souvenir of your trip to Akita, made with local wild cherry trees or Akita cedar.
