Escape Tokyo: Discover Akita’s Hot Springs, Gorges & Soul Food 🇯🇵♨️🍲

Think Tokyo is all Japan has to offer?

Then you’re missing out. Head north to Akita, where nature, tradition, and warmth await.

Start your journey with Nyuto Onsen. Tucked deep in the mountains, this remote hot spring is famous for its milky white waters and tranquil atmosphere. It’s the perfect escape from city life.

Next, stroll through Dakigaeri Gorge, a magical valley with bright blue rivers and colorful foliage. Every season paints a new masterpiece here.

When you’re ready for something hearty, try Kiritanpo. It’s Akita’s soul food — grilled rice sticks served in a savory chicken broth, especially popular in colder months.
📍Kiritanpo can be enjoyed across Akita, especially in local inns and restaurants in Odate and Semboku
Akita offers a side of Japan few travelers see — peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable.
