Things to Do in Akita - Top Tours and Activities

One of Japan's most northern prefectures, Akita's local sake and wild scenery are not to be missed. Take a cruise on Lake Tazawa or clear Lake Towada, known for its mystic beauty, or join a hiking (or comfortable bus tour!) to the dramatic Hachimantai Plateau. Outdoor sports enthusiasts can go for a horse back ride or unusual rail bike adventure too.
