Sightseeing & activities

Towada-Hachimantai National Park (十和田八幡平国立公園) It is believed that the park was made during the 4th century by 40 volcanoes. While the fall leaves and new green of spring are beautiful, Mt. Hachimantai is also known for trees covered with frost in the winter. The park is also home to the third deepest double crater lake in Japan, Lake Towada is located on the border between Akita and Aomori Prefecture.

Antler in Kazuno

"Antler" - Kazuno Tourist Information Center (鹿角観光ふるさと館あんとらあ) A tourist information center with a few small restaurants and shops to buy local goods. The little stall in the front sells peach ice cream made with the northernmost grown peaches in Japan.

Hachimantai Hot Springs On the way to Hachimantai there are numerous hot springs that are open to the public.

Oyu Waterfalls On Route 103 heading toward Lake Towada is the hot spring town of Oyu, where many waterfalls can be found along the road. A waterfall guide is also available. The Oyu hotsprings are also good to visit.

Oyu Stone Circle (大湯環状列石) A dedicated historical site, Oyu Stone Circle dates back to the Jomon period of Japan, which is dated at over 4000 years ago. http://www.ink.or.jp/~oyusc/ (Japanese)

Mine Land Osarizawa (史跡 尾去沢鉱山) Founded in 708 and run by the Nanbu Clan, the materials from this mine have traveled far beyond Akita, such as to Nara for the Daibutsu and even as far as Europe, where it was used for trade. The mine was closed in 1978, but a 1.7km tunnel remains open for visitors (1000 yen per adult). There is also a gift shop, museum, and a small cafe for food that closes earlier than the mine. You can also do some other activities for a small fee such as gold panning, digging through sand for stones, arts and crafts as well as even making kiritanpo. Their Malachite chemical pools are normally closed off to visitors. The area houses old buildings that haven't been used in centuries (and possibly dangerous) but pictures of the era can be seen on in the main visitor areas of the mine. http://www.osarizawa.jp/ (Japanese)

Old Sekizen Sake Store (旧関善酒店主屋) They do a great tour of the place telling about the history of the architecture (more interesting than that sounds), making sake there etc. for 300円. Not too shabby. One of the last standing buildings remaining that tell of Kazuno's older history. http://sekizen.s50.xrea.com/index.html (Japanese)

Yuze Gorge (湯瀬渓谷) Designated as one of the top 30 sites to see in Akita, the road next to the gorge was used many years ago by travelers. The best time to see the fall leaves is mid to late October.

Blueberry Picking just off the "Wide Farming Road" west of the 66th, north of Hiramoto elementary school. In the summer, usually staring in mid-July to some time in August, this place's blueberries are organically grown and really delicious. 500 yen gets you an all you can eat buffet of tasty blueberries that you pick yourself, and you can even take a break and go back for more~approximate google map
