Free observatory deck at 100m high. Great sunset view of Nippon Sea. First floor is local market. Good idea and concept.

Solid use of a tower to enhance a roadside station. Great views and entry is free. Prices in the market appear just a little higher than other markets, but not prohibitively.

Some event is going on.. The Akita Police car and motorbike look so cool. View from 5th floor at the Observation tower was enjoyable.
What a grand tower by the seaside/Harbour.
And the visit to the top was FOC - free!
I was very surprised.
Food for lunch was ok, simple, nothing much to shout about.
After lunch we went to the top view;
And subsequently had coffee at one of the other restaurants below.
Nice scenery to see the shore line, windmill fans lining the coastal line too!
Very good shopping for local Akita things. Awesome that they do not charge to go up the elevator. Spectacular view.
Drove into this roadside station on the way to the Nahagame museum at oga from Akita city. We were captivated by the beautiful port scenery and that’s the reason why we stopped. After stopping, we went into it and saw that there were eateries inside it. But maybe it was too early, it was not opened yet. But the souvenir shop had opened and there were many local items for sale. Washrooms were clean as well. After which I went over to the harbour area to take some pictures and saw a naval vessel docked.
Great place to see the Japan sea especially when the weather is clear ...the entrance is free and there's a coffee place where you can enjoy the view with a some ice cream
This where cruise ships dock. Nothing special about the place. Do not go for the cruise ship options. There is a train stop 5mins walk away and you can get into the city for 200 yen per person, versus the 25 USD the cruise charges

Akita City Port Tower Selion

(1367)
Observation deck
Akita City Port Tower Selion is a 100-meter observation tower offering stunning panoramic views of Akita. From the Sea of Japan to Oga Peninsula and Mt Chokai, visitors can enjoy breathtaking sights, especially during sunset. Completed in 1994, this landmark stands as the tallest structure in northern Tohoku with an observation deck at 100 meters and a spire at 143.6 meters.
Very nice and huge souvenir store on the first floor. Glass tower leads to an observation on the “5th” floor (a lot higher than that, but that’s what the elevator said). Glass elevator and lookout is completely free. And the building next door has a pretty neat Udon vending machine that was once on the NHK show “72 hours”. Lots of people visit here just for that machine! All in all, a fine place to spend an hour or so.
Floyd I — Google review
143 meters tall glass tower.
The admission for observation deck is free.
There's a souvenir shop on the ground floor.
The tower is located near the cruise ship terminal of Akita, there is a souvenir store in the ground floor with a lot of choice if you want to buy some local gifts.
The facilities are kept clean and the staff is friendly.
You can visit the top of the tower freely only by elevator.
perfect place to unwind, very near the cruise ship port where we docked. Very nice people 💕
The 360o views are fabulous, over the sea, the city and the mountains behind. The Tower has a few cafes but we decided to eat at the food court on ground floor. The sashimi and sushi were fresh, generous and cheap.
It’s also most pleasant to walk around the harbor.
A free observation deck at port area with 360 degrees view which closes at late night. You could reach there to enjoy the day view, the operation of the port and the wind turbine plus the roadside station there. I enjoyed the night view only for the vibe of the luminaries of the combination of port and wind turbine. The most importantly this observation is free of charge! What a joy.
Great way to look at the city we are in amd see what is around. Views are amazing
Great viewing observatory spot for viewing Akita city at night. The thing is it’s far from the city and it becomes quite deserted at night.

Akita City Folk Arts Center (Neburinagashi-Kan)
4.1
(1164)
Local history museum
The Akita City Folk Arts Center (Neburinagashi-Kan) is a modern museum showcasing local festivals and folk entertainment. It features the famous pole lantern festival, known as the Kanto festival, held annually in August. Visitors can marvel at the 12-meter long, 50 kg Kanto lantern and even try their hand at handling the poles. The center also highlights traditional events like the Tsuchizaki Shinmeisha Shrine celebration and Bon-den.
Great museum, very cheap entrance fee and super interesting. It is interactive and you can try carrying the big lanterns in a mini version yourself as well as playing the Taiko which is located on the 3rd floor.
Probably a must see when you're in Akita :)
Ajumi H — Google review
You can experience holding the 竿灯 and try 太鼓in the museum. For a small price, you can visit 2 museum. There are 3 storey. A good place to visit in Akita
A place where you can learn about Akita's traditional festival kanto.
The actual Kanto lanterns were on display and it was very impressive.
What a wonderful facility and center! We had a fantastic time learning about all of the cultural traditions of Akita. The staff did a brilliant job of explaining and demonstrating, and overall I really recommend this place.
Really cool little museum about the Kanto festival. You can try to balance the lantern and play the drums. Highly recommend for any visitors. They have a co-entry ticket with the Akakan.
The Akita City Folk Traditions Hall was created for the purpose of preserving and handing down the local folk events and entertainment of Akita City and it has been nicknamed the "Neburi-nagashi hall". On the first floor you will find an exhibition hall that introduces a number of traditional festivals and events in Akita City such as the Akita Kanto, the Tsuchizaki Shinmeisha Shrine celebration, and Bon-den. The Akita Kanto is a festival where a large number of paper lanterns are affixed on rods joined together crosswise in order to pray for a good rice harvest. You can see the skilled performers carrying the lanterns on their foreheads and shoulders as the audience watches on in wonder. You can also try out the Challenge Corner where you try to balance a lantern yourself, and on the second floor exhibition hall you can see documents and videos about the folk traditions here in Akita. From April to October on weekends and public holidays (13:30~14:10) there will be a performance from a representative of the Akita Kanto Society, and in summer there sometimes folk entertainment recitals.
A staff kindly showed me how to hold the lanterns and I got to experience it,not easy but really fun! They also have demonstrations which I unfortunately couldn’t go but I am sure it’ll be fun. He explained in details about the Matsuri and I had also fun playing Taiko upstairs. Keneko family home’s beautiful and you get to hear Akita dialect. Heart warming experience!
This is a museum about the Kanto Festival, a summer festival in Akita. On the first floor, there is a Kanto experience area where you can try out. This experience is very exciting, and the comical movement of balancing the Kanto with one hand is sure to put a smile on your face. And once U participate in the Kanto experience, it's no wonder U want to see the Kanto Festival in the summer.

Nature & Parks
Park
Gardens
Senshū Park is a large park in Akita, known for its water gardens and the ruins of the Edo-period Kubota Castle. The park features seasonal cherry blossoms, azaleas, and lotus blooms. Visitors can explore the reconstructed Osumiyagura tower for panoramic views and historical exhibits. Additionally, there are ponds, shrines, and a wooden entrance gate within the park's grounds.
A big, beautiful, and historic park in Akita city. You can easily walk to here from city centre. And there is a Akita Arts Theatre Mille Has around the entrance. Visitors can also have a short break at the Art Theatre. If visited this park at the right time, guess the red leaves or green leaves can show a different view of this park.
Emily Y — Google review
It was chilly in the evening but had a great view of the SkyTree tower at night.
A park located in the center city of Akita.
This site is the former castle of SATAKE family, who was the Lord of Akita.
There is a reconstructed gate, a museum imitated the original exterior of castle, and a shrine honoring the SATAKE family.
One of the historical public parks in Akita. It had been the castle, now it belongs to Akita city. Very beautiful red leaves in a Japanese style garden. There are fountain with carp fishes, lotus pond, Japanese shrines and others. Free to visit. It's very nice and relaxing for us.
This park is a wonderful place to enjoy yourself together with the Akita community, It is a beautiful place that is especially beautiful during the cherry blossom festivals
I came here during the summer.
Experiences: There was a street market festival/bazaar going on at the time of visit, where there are many interesting food and crafts for sale around the entrance to the park.
There is also a bridge surrounded by large orchids which is the photo-ops place to go.
There are a few landmarks in the park, such as the castle ruins, where you can learn some history about the region.
There is a also a akita inu experience next to the cafe, which lets you encounter the large sized akita doggo without touching.
Price: admission and akita dog experience is free.
Duration: About 2-3 hours excluding time spent on the bazaar.
Overall, I enjoyed the park as a short excursion while in Akita.
After a last minute change of plans, we found ourselves in Akita for a few hours longer on a drizzly Friday morning in June than expected. We were hanging around to see the Akita inu at "Akita Dog Station" that didn't open until 11AM and stumbled across this park nearby while walking around earlier that morning.
I honestly wish I had known about this park earlier. It was the quintessential Japanese park with little shrines, a mini waterfall, garden, woods, bamboo and even a small eatery and gift shop. We didn't have time to do any eating or shopping, nor did we have time to go into the small museum located in a restored building. Instead we spent it just walking around the garden areas and enjoying being outside of the city. If you're in Akita, do yourself a favor and block out a few hours to give this park and surrounding areas some of your time, you won't regret it.
Visited on January 8th.
There was a light amount of snow and it was a fantastic atmosphere.
There were hardly any tourists so I was able to sightsee comfortably.

Kaiseki restaurant
Japanese restaurant
Takamura is a renowned restaurant located in a serene residential area of Akita City, Akita Prefecture. The owner, Mr. Hiroki Takamura, is highly esteemed for his expertise in Edo cuisine, which he honed at the prestigious Mejiro restaurant Taikohachi. The establishment is celebrated for its meticulous preparation that emphasizes the natural flavors of the ingredients. Guests can savor traditional Edo cuisine with a modern twist, featuring Western elements.
The inventive cuisine at the restaurant was a culinary revelation, each dish bursting with creativity and flavor. The chef's innovative approach to food left us speechless, It was an unforgettable dining experience that showcased the chef's remarkable talent and passion for culinary artistry. At the end of the night, my 75 year old mother was leaving, and she missed a step, Takamura-san was there to save her with cat like reflexes!! Great catch!

(Translated by Google) A famous restaurant in Tohoku Akita!
This restaurant is highly rated on various gourmet sites.
Gourmets from outside the prefecture go to Akita just for this.
It really fits the definition of a three-star restaurant.
And the menu is made up of ingredients from Akita.
They also use high-quality ingredients and serve them well.
The visuals are also beautiful.
And the charm of this restaurant is the owner, Takamura-san.
He is a very friendly person and a good talker.
He has a big brother-like personality.
It's possible that many people come just for Takamura-san! lol
He trained at the now-defunct Edo cuisine restaurant [Taikohachi] in Mejiro, Tokyo, and served as the head chef. He is the fourth generation of Taikohachi and the only successor to Edo cuisine.

(Translated by Google) I was first drawn to the restaurant's hideaway-like setting in a residential area, and the food was a wonderful blend of local ingredients and Edo-style cooking techniques. I was introduced to this restaurant and ended up visiting it, which became the highlight of my trip to Akita. It's a wonderful restaurant.

住宅街に佇む隠れ家風の佇まいにまず心引かれ、料理では地元素材と江戸料理の技巧が見事に調和。ご紹介で訪問することになりましたが秋田のハイライトになりました。素晴らしいお店です。
(Translated by Google) “Japanese Restaurant Takamura” in Akita City was a truly wonderful experience!
First of all, from the moment you enter the store, there is a quiet and dignified atmosphere that gives you the feeling that a special time is about to begin.
I was able to watch Mr. Takamura, the chef, carefully prepare the food behind the counter, and it felt more like I was experiencing a story than a meal.
The dishes are filled with the best of Akita's seasonal ingredients, and with each dish you will be amazed at how these ingredients can be expressed in such a way. The main dish, Akita Nishikigyu steak, was the best tasting meat I've ever had, with no odor, and I felt the flavor overflowing with every bite.
For rice, we have conger eel and Akita rice, and the lingering aroma alone is enough to make it a delicious meal!
Hats off to the dessert, a rice cake filled with fruits and red bean paste that goes beyond the traditional Japanese style. I was happy that it was not too sweet and tasted elegant until the end.
The staff's service was courteous and first-class, but I felt comfortable with their unpretentious approach.
Courses start at 15,000 yen, which is not cheap, but with this quality, I felt it was actually cheap at this price.
It's no wonder that customers visit from all over the country!
If you have a chance to go to Akita, this is a place you should definitely make a reservation for and experience even a few months in advance.
It was a truly luxurious time that satisfied all five senses! !

秋田市にある「日本料理 たかむら」、本当に素晴らしい体験でした！
まず、店内に入った瞬間から静かで凛とした空気感があって、特別な時間が始まる予感がします。
カウンター越しに料理人の高村さんが丁寧に料理を仕上げていく姿が見られて、食事というより“ひとつの物語”を味わうような感覚でした。
料理は、秋田の旬をぎゅっと詰め込んだような内容で、一品ごとに「この食材がこんな表現になるのか」と驚かされます。メインの秋田錦牛のステーキは今まで食べたのことがないくらい臭みもなく肉最上級の味で、噛むたびに旨みがあふれ出す感じでした。
ご飯ものにはあなごと秋田のお米で香りの余韻だけでもごちそうです！
デザートにフルーツたっぷりであんこを包んだお餅で和の枠を超えたセンスに脱帽。甘さ控えめで最後まで上品に締まるのが嬉しかったです。
スタッフの方々のサービスも丁寧で、一流だけど気取らない距離感が心地よかったです。
コースは15,000円からと決して安くはないですが、このクオリティでこの価格ならむしろ安いと感じるほどでした。
全国からお客さんが訪れるのも納得の名店です！
秋田に行く機会があるなら、数ヶ月前でもいいので予約を取って、ぜひ体験してほしい一軒です。
五感すべてが満たされる、本当に贅沢な時間でした！！

Takamura, the extremely difficult-to-book restaurant in Akita that I admired, is coming to Tokyo.
I couldn't pass up this chance, so I went to the counter with enthusiasm.
From the first dish, you will be moved by a series of impressions, and it is truly an art that can be enjoyed with all five senses.
The platter of appetizers, glittering with gold leaf, is a dish that you can enjoy with both your eyes and your tongue, and you can feel the arrival of spring.
The luxurious combination of fluffy turnip tofu topped with caviar is so delicious that you can't help but say, "Wow...".
The bowl of soup is dripping with soup, the fragrantly grilled fish, and the mesmerizing visuals and delicate flavors will leave you spellbound...♡
Dishes made with sea urchin, seaweed, and spring vegetables are colorful and gentle yet powerful.
Even the dessert is beautifully presented, leaving you completely satisfied until the last bite.
It was a memorable night that makes you want to come back every season! I definitely want to visit the Akita store again someday!

Hotel Pearl City Akita Kawabata is a modest accommodation option that offers comfortable and relaxed accommodations in a laid-back setting. The rooms and suites are informal, providing complimentary internet access for guests. This unpretentious hotel also houses a charming tea room for visitors to enjoy. Despite its spaciousness, the location of Hotel Pearl City Akita Kawabata is slightly distant from the nearby station.

It's a little far from Akita Station, but within walking distance.
The front desk was very helpful and the air conditioning in the room was good, so I had a comfortable stay.
The plan included breakfast and the rice was Akita Komachi, which was very delicious.
I'll stay here again if I have the opportunity to come here for work.

spacious place but little bit far from station
wifi is not working and cannot be fixed...
(Translated by Google) It was comfortable.
I chose this hotel because it was an area I wanted to sightsee.
However, since I was staying for one night, I ended up checking out in the morning and putting my carry-on in the coin locker at the station before sightseeing (lol)
However, I was able to get a sense of the geography by taking the bus from the station, and there were highly rated restaurants nearby, so I was able to enjoy a very fulfilling time.
Breakfast was also good.

朝食も良かったです。
(Translated by Google) The hotel is old. There were many pubs near the hotel. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Senshu Park. The breakfast buffet was average and I was disappointed that there was no fruit. The hotel room was on the top floor and had a great view. But when I went out into the hallway, it smelled like cigarettes. The room I stayed in was non-smoking, but I wonder if it was on the same floor as a smoking room? There was something that looked like a curled up sock lying at the foot of the sofa in my room. It was disgusting. Haven't you cleaned it? When I looked around, there was dust between the sofa and bed, and I realized that I had cut corners when cleaning. I don't think I'll ever use it again.

ホテルの古さはあります。ホテルの近くに居酒屋さんが多くありました。千秋公園までは歩いて15分ほどです。朝ごはんのバイキングは普通で、果物がなかったのが残念。ホテルの部屋は最上階で見晴らしは良かったです。でも廊下に出るとタバコに臭いがして臭かった。泊まった部屋は禁煙でしたが、喫煙の部屋と同じ階だったのかな？部屋のソファの足元に、丸まった靴下みたいな物が落ちてました。気持ち悪かったです。掃除してないの？って思い、辺りを見たらソファとベットの間に埃があり、これは掃除、手を抜いたなと思いました。2度と利用することはないと思います。
(Translated by Google) I booked this hotel to go to a concert at Milhas on the 9th. It was a bit of a walk to the venue. It was a storm-like downpour and the weather was awful, so my sneakers got soaked while I was there. It was tough. Still, I had a comfortable stay at the hotel. The breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of options. I'm not sure when I'll be able to go to Akita again, but the bad weather this time was disappointing, so I'll definitely visit Akita again on a sunny day. Nearby, there's Kawabata, and as the name suggests, the riverside scenery is beautiful.

Chicken restaurant
Honke Abeya is a popular restaurant located near Akita station, making it easily accessible for visitors. The spacious and well-appointed interior provides a comfortable dining experience. While the lunch sets may be a bit pricey at 2,000 yen per person, the delicious Akita chicken dishes make it worth the cost. The restaurant offers attentive service and an English menu for international guests. Diners recommend trying the Oyakodon and Hinaijidori for a flavorful and filling meal.
Best oyakodon i have eaten in Japan. Would recommend it to everyone.
Mario — Google review
The food here is above average but not exceptional. Chicken is the specialty of Akita and the taste and tenderness of the chicken attest to it. Chicken are cooked in different styles. Grilled, fried and in soup. All are quite unique in flavour. Vegetables and side dishes are also tasty except one of the asparagus was very fibrous and can't be eaten.
Service is not good. There are too few servers to cater to customers.
Not much ppl, comfy seats. The grilled sticks are way too expensive. You can try the local chicken here. But it’s not taste like what you may like to have.
- Food is fairly decent
- Chicken dishes were delicious
- Zero service (have to order via LINE, which is somewhat annoying)
- Pricing is relatively high
- Tight seating
- Convenient location (at KITTE next to Tokyo Station)
Excellent price. Wonderful chicken meat and skin. Nice atmosphere.
Another spot which serves Hinai Jidori oyakodon. Satisfying meal.
Wanted to try some local delicacies and decided on this place.
Oyakodon is a must try !!
When I ate was like wowww! Mind blown, definitely went into my top 10 ranking for oyakodon 🥰
Iburigakko cheese was great too!
The sake served was also made in Tohoku, would recommend you to take this as well.
Would recommend you to reserve a seat before coming.
Meal: Lunch
Budget: ¥2,000/person
Closest Station: Akita
Reservation Needed?: No
Payment: Cash and Credit Card
Kid Friendly?: Maybe not
English Menu?: No
The famous Akita chicken is well represented here! We enjoyed our lunch sets, which were a bit expensive at ¥2,000/person, but well worth it in our view.
The interior of the restaurant is also nicely appointed and spacious.
We’re giving four stars, rather than five, because the service wasn’t up to par with the price of the food. Our server seemed disinterested and didn’t represent the restaurant all that well.
Otherwise, a good experience and recommended for chicken lovers!

Nestled in the heart of Japan, 南部家敷 八橋店 is a delightful haven for noodle lovers, particularly those who appreciate the comforting embrace of udon and soba. This charming eatery offers an extensive menu featuring various soba set options that cater to all appetites, including smaller portions ideal for seniors or those looking to sample multiple dishes. The inviting atmosphere is complemented by spacious tatami seating and traditional table arrangements, making it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions.
(Translated by Google) I came here with my wife's parents and my kids after visiting the grave at 5:30 PM during Obon. My wife wasn't there though 😅💦 Thanks to that, I was able to eat and drink as much as I wanted, so I went in with enthusiasm 🤘
There were all kinds of dishes on the table. I had a late lunch and had been drinking since early, so I wasn't particularly hungry, but I decided to go for the large katsudon set and the large chicken katsudon set. It was several times better than my usual place 🤘 I don't usually eat soba when eating out, but I was able to eat it right away and felt like I'd had a good meal, so I was very satisfied. Overall, the flavors were to my liking 🤣 I ate the leftovers from the kids, and the variety of flavors was amazing 🌋
I'd never come here alone 😅 After discovering so many things this time, I decided to try some of the other menu items at their other locations in the city 🤘

バックすてっぷ — Google review
(Translated by Google) My father passed away this year, so there will be no New Year's celebration. Of course, there will be no Toshikoshi Soba. Instead, I went to ``Minamiyashiki'' in Yatsuhashi, Akita City to eat New Year's Eve soba.
♪Soba, Tempura, and Eel Minamiyashiki is a family-style restaurant that serves Japanese food and is well known for its commercials. Many customers came to receive Toshikoshi Soba.
To order, choose from the recommended menu that the staff brings out in addition to the standard menu. However, I forgot to take a picture of the important menu (-_-;)
So I don't remember the menu name. I believe it was a set menu of rice bowl and soba. I tried the katsudon and soba set. You can choose between hot and colander for the soba, and choose the colander.
It's a set, but the katsudon is voluminous, and the soba is half-sized. It's sure to fill you up.
The katsudon at the soba restaurant is delicious! Delicious as per the theory. The cutlet coated with a slightly sweet sauce and topped with egg is mellow, and the cutlet itself has just the right amount and thickness, giving it a satisfying texture.
Soba noodles are one of Minamiyashiki's specialties, so they provide a consistent taste. Although the texture is weak, it goes down easily and can be eaten smoothly. Even though the set is half size, I also appreciate the service that comes with quail eggs (^^♪
Miso soup comes with the katsudon. This is the reason why I chose Zaru Soba. If you eat warm soba noodles, you'll end up with two soups. As expected, miso soup is a must with katsudon.
As expected, I was full and completely satisfied with my entire meal ε-(´∀｀*)Ho I was queuing up at the crowded register to take out the soba noodles.
(Original)
今年は親父が亡くなり、正月祝いは無し。もちろん、年越しそばも無し。その代わりといっては何ですが、大晦日そばを食べに秋田市八橋に有る「南部屋敷」さんへ。
♪そば・天ぷら・うなぎの南部屋敷～のＣＭでお馴染みで、和食のファミレス的なお店。年越しそばを受け取りに多くのお客さんが来てました。
オーダーは、定番メニューとは別に店員さんが持ってきてくれたおすすめメニューからチョイス。しかし、肝心のそのメニューの写真は撮り忘れ(-_-;)
なので、メニュー名は憶えておらず。確か、丼と蕎麦のセットメニューだったはず。カツ丼とそばのセットにしてみました。そばは温とざるから選べ、ざるを選択。
セットですが、カツ丼はボリュームあり、そばはハーフサイズ。お腹いっぱいになるのは間違いなし。
カツ丼は、そば屋のカツ丼は美味しい！のセオリー通りの美味しさ。少し甘めの味付けのタレを纏い、卵とじされたカツはまろやかで、カツその物は量・厚みもちょうど良く食べ応え・歯応えを感じられます。
そばは、南部屋敷さんの売りの一つですので、安定した美味しさを提供。コシは弱めですが、喉越しよくスルスル食べられます。セットのハーフサイズにもかかわらず、ウズラの卵付きのサービスも有り難い(^^♪
カツ丼に付いてくるのが、味噌汁。ざるそばを選んだ理由が、これ。温そばだと、汁物二つになってしまいますからね。やはり、カツ丼には味噌汁が外せません。
予想通りお腹いっぱいになり、完食し大満足ε-(´∀｀*)ﾎｯ 蕎麦の持ち帰りで混んでいるレジに並ぶのでした。
(Translated by Google) We use it as a place where people gather during New Year's and Obon holidays.
The menu includes Inaniwa udon, tempura, and eel, but the prices seem high.
The tempura was crispy and delicious.
The sauce for the Inaniwa udon was a little strong.
I think it's easy to use if you want to take people returning home or from outside the prefecture with you.

always good to shop at aeon mall. it provides all needs to all family members. from restaurants to clothing to toys and all kind of entertainment. we went here on weekday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all, so we could walk and shop freely and spent some good time here.

Great to go shopping and to eat with your friends! I found almost everything I needed during my stay at Akita International University. However, mostly I came here to have fun with my friends and spend a good time with them. My favorite shop was DAISO, so many funny things are sold there. I love this place!!!
Great experience at Aeon Mall, but travelers should be aware that the tax-free services end at 7 p.m. No tax free for Muji.
It has a huge supermarket and food court with sufficient food choices.
It's basically the biggest shopping mall in the area--take that for what you will, If you're used to shopping in places like Tokyo or even Sendai, it might leave a lot to desire. However, most things you're looking for, you can find here.
The food court and restaurant options are satisfactorily diverse. Everything from the most tradition washoku to KFC.
The layout is three floors, and the mall extends in two directions from a large round room that makes a kind of central hub. The central area is often used for local events and sales.
I've been shopping at the small for over 15 years and very little has ever changed. It's a great mall.
It has a lot of good places and a food court including some restaurants and fast food places like McDonald’s and Starbucks.

Train station
Akita Station is a charming transportation hub located in the Tohoku region of Japan. Despite being often overlooked by travelers, this station boasts a stunning interior with beautiful wood paneling and spacious hallways. It offers a comfortable and clean environment for passengers, with plenty of seating and various shops both inside and outside the station. Additionally, it features bus terminals at both the West and East exits, making it easy to navigate for travelers.
The rails end beside the sea wind. The air tastes of miso and salt. Akita smiles quietly, its festivals loud only in joy. The Komachi rests here like a bird finally home.
Tourist Tip:
Final stop. Visit Senshū Park, Neburi-Nagashi Museum, and Akita Port. Try kiritanpo nabe and sake from Dewatsuru breweries. Winter illuminations beautiful in snow.

Akita Station might not look like much from the outside, but it actually has one of the best looking interior of any train station around Japan. With its heavy use of wood panelling and long and cavernous hallway running between the East and West Entrances with plenty of benches and chairs for passengers to relax while waiting for their trains, it's one of the few big stations in Japan that doesn't fell claustrophobic.
We visited the station during our stay at Akita. It was just a short walk away from where I was staying which was dormy inn Akita.
The station was clean with a number of facilities like eateries. It was interesting to see the namahage masks at the station, though it’s the bigger version. Managed to take some nice pictures. At the station, I could already feel that namahage is a big cultural thing in Akita.
First time here for transfer to Odate. Station staff are friendly and helpful. There's a big akita inu plush doll in the station lobby
Well connected to several malls/shopping street, so you can walk under shelter. It makes the station a good base to explore the rest of the city.
-Car rentals: all within a 5 minute walk from the station.
-food: all the usual.
-NOTE: Akita generally shuts down early (by 2000 hrs on average). Get your meals (dinner) done early! Plus its cold out when its dark, and it gets dark early. Bonus is sunrise is at 0500 hrs. 😩 😂
Akita station, like the train station in Japan in general. clean, comfortable, safe, orderly. only I feel cooler. 👍👍
It was a station where you can feel the culture of Akita. This Akita dogs are cute. The Akita-ben machine spoke the Akita-ben in English. The nearby station building was convenient for restaurants and shopping.
The large staition with many department stores. Its easy to hang around station's near place with information map

After a day of wandering through the vibrant streets, why not unwind with a delightful meal at Akita Nagaya Sakaba? This izakaya offers an authentic taste of Akita's local cuisine, all while immersing you in the unique cultural experience provided by the namahage. These fascinating deities from the Oga Peninsula are celebrated as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and add a special touch to your dining experience.
Special entryway, awesome service, personable ONI, tasty local dishes and lots of sake and beer. Enough English to get our food order done. Sat on the pillow in the tatami room. A must do when visiting Akita.
Joyce W — Google review
It was a unique experience for me because I met Namahage that is a kind of God in Akita , enjoying local foods and Japanese sake. You need a reservation before visiting here. If you like sake, you couldn’t be satisfied with experience at this restaurant.
It was shallow to refuse paying customer because they wanted more profit for the night. Apparently I had to be famous for a chance to be given a seat.
Until my influencer career kick off or the boss is more considerate, I was told by locals the restaurant next door is better food and pricing.
A great local Isakaya Restaurant with a lot of good local sakes and good food to stay for a night with friends. You must not to miss it if you are around ! Price at a very reasonable level, not a tourist pricing.
Amazing experience! Wasnt sure what to expect but totally enjoyed the food and experience given to feel whats Namahage. Love it and highly recommend
Really nice izakaya. If you want experience the a traditional izakaya from Akita, this is the place. Delicious food, great drinks and good prices. Definetely we will return on our next trip to Akita.
Thank you Akita Nagaya Sakaba.
The local food and service was great!
They have a selection of Akita sake.
If you come to Akita I highly recommend eating here.
(I was able to meet a real namahage!)
Excellent experience! We knew this restaurant was going to be special from the moment we couldn't find the "little door on the left" to enter... the Namahage performance was the icing on the cake of a great meal of amazing food, sake, and おもてなし service - all at an incredibly reasonable price !
The お通し (cover charge) of 1000yen covered 2 extra dishes and a soup, which was extremely value-for-money.
There is no English menu, but they do welcome foreigners, although ordering will be a little difficult and you won't be able to interact much with the Namahage.

Flea & Street Markets
The Akita Citizen’s Market, also known as Akita Shimin Ichiba, is a bustling hub of local food and culture just a short walk from JR Akita Station. With around 70 shops, this market is often referred to as the kitchen of Akita. Visitors can explore an array of locally-produced food ingredients including freshly caught seafood from the Sea of Japan and seasonal mountain vegetables. The market also features historical displays showcasing the region's fishing village heritage.
Came here for the nokkedon, which is a build-your-own rice bowl dish. I was not disappointed!
The hardest part was finding the right place for the nokkedon. There isn't anyone trying to sell the bowl, it's just a self-service counter. At least once you find it (see the pictures), it has plenty of instructions, some in english, but most of it is in Japanese. Luckily Google translate works really well here.
The counter has a map with the participating stores, including the place to get the rice. The rice store doesn't look like a rice shop at all, but once I got there, the lady knew right away and got some rice for me. Then, just go to whatever participating store there is and pick any sashimi that you like!
There are plenty of tables to eat your bowl, so finding a spot was not a problem! Just be mindful the nokkedon is available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Have fun!
----
Came back 1 day later. The rice place had changed, and now they were selling boxed rice in the store in front of the stand. It was less fresh but still good enough as there was a microwave to heat it up.

This fish market in Akita is an absolute gem for seafood lovers! It’s a vibrant, bustling place where you can truly experience the local food culture. The highlight for me was the make-your-own sashimi donburi experience—going stall to stall, choosing from an incredible variety of fresh fish, and then having it all served over a bowl of perfectly seasoned rice. It doesn’t get fresher than this!
The selection is fantastic—tuna, salmon, uni, ikura, and many other seasonal catches, all at very reasonable prices. Each vendor was friendly and happy to explain their offerings, making the experience both fun and educational.
Beyond the seafood, there’s also a great variety of fresh regional fruits and local specialties, perfect for a snack or to take home as souvenirs. The market itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, with plenty of seating areas to enjoy your freshly prepared meal.
If you’re visiting Akita, this market is a must-stop for a truly authentic and delicious experience. You’ll leave with a happy stomach and probably a few bags of local treats! Highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh seafood and wants a taste of local life.
Not as well organized as aomori's nokkedon, but we eventually managed to individually order our seafood bowl for a great value. We recommend the tarako and mentaiko!
A place to find cheap and fresh fish and products. You can buy ready to eat sashimi directly from many fresh fish stalls. The name of the product is "Nokkedon", literally "put everything on the rice bowl, and eat." Go to the designated "Nokkedon" desk to get tray and start with, go to rice stall to buy a bowl of rice, and miso soup for free, you will need to buy fried foods for best taste with sashimi, and go to every fresh fish stalls that sell ready-to-eat sashimi you like; You can choose every kind of sashimi you like with very cheap prices. And finally go to many available tables to put (nokke) your sashimi on your rice bowl, and eat.
Interesting produce and fish market to visit. A large number of fresh fish and crustacean species caught in local waters and local seasonal vegetable and fruit produce. There is a small booth area within the market that is a historical display of old photographs and memorabilia on Akita as a fishing village several hundred years ago that I found really interesting. Search it out. Best visited early in the day. There are a few little eateries around the edges of the market for a fishy bite to eat.
We were here at 11am on a Friday during winter. Fresh produce / seafood market. Clean market, it was nice to look around without any tourists~
You can eat fresh tuna and clambs if you want!
Fresh seafood!

Akita Kurasu is a stand-up bar located inside the Akita product shop, offering a casual setting to savor the famous sake of Akita. In addition to local sake, visitors can also indulge in craft beer. The daily offerings are listed on a blackboard, featuring a 3-type sake set and recommended selections. Customers can enjoy various craft beers from the two taps available at all times.
You have to speak just a wee bit of Japanese to get by with ordering if you're a tourist. I prefer and only know the word for "sweet" (NOT amazake) so I was recommended with the below. If time permits I would have liked to try the 秋田美人 beer, but I'm happy with having the chance to try out a very smooth, very delightful lightweight sake just minutes before my departure. It's conveniently located near the gates and if you're hungry, there are restaurants in the same shopping building, convenience store, and a soba place in the station.

Ramen restaurant
If you're seeking a heartwarming and flavorful noodle dish, look no further than 支那そば 伊藤. This local specialty from Yokote, Jumonji ramen, features fish-based shoyu broth made with spring water from the Ou Mountains. The wheat noodles are firm, thin, and wavy, perfectly complementing the rich soy sauce and Akitas high-quality fish ingredients like bonito flakes and dried sardines.
I came to this shop at noon on a Monday, and I had no problems getting a seat. I am in town on holiday and don't really speak any Japanese, but I still felt very welcome. Staff was attentive and kind. Ordering is by ticket vending machine, their menu isn't complicated and there were English translations on the machine.
I had the spicy miso ramen with added green onions and bamboo shoots. I was thoroughly satisfied. There was just enough spiciness without being overwhelming. Portions were very generous for the price, in my opinion. I ordered the medium size and I couldn't even finish it all, although I wanted to.
Overall I am very happy I stopped by, and I would recommend this place to anyone.

A simple ramen shop but staffs are warm and welcoming. Ramen broth was delicious, topping wise could have been a bit more.
that's traditional japanese noodle.
(Translated by Google) The ramen is characterized by not using kansui, but the noodles are like hiyamugi (cold wheat noodles), so it doesn't really feel like a Chinese noodle. The soup doesn't have any particular characteristics. Why is there wheat gluten as a topping? It was a mystery.

カンスイを使わないのが特徴の様だが、麺は冷麦の様で、中華そばとの印象は薄い。スープにさほど特徴感じず。トッピングにどうしてお麩？謎だった。

First, purchase a meal ticket from the ticket machine at the entrance.
This time I ordered soy sauce.
I handed over my meal ticket and sat down at the counter.

Drink the soup first. It has a gentle taste.
The politeness comes through.
Thank you for the meal🙏

Ramen restaurant
The Suehiro Ramen Akita Station Branch is highly popular on Friday nights around 10 PM, with visitors typically spending approximately 30 minutes there. It tends to be quieter on Sundays. This ramen chain has multiple outlets in the Tohoku area, and its first shop originated in Akita. They serve soy sauce-based ramen with a dark broth that may be overly salty for some individuals.
Good restaurant right outside of Akita JR station. It's a bit tricky to order because everything is in Japanese without photo but we managed! The Chinese soba and Chachu noodles are almost identical but the broth is a bit different (one is more flavorful but also saltier). The clam + butter noodle is great I love it! Also the fried rice is nice and of course the refill of green onions! Portions are quite big!
Chanakarn H — Google review
Small and intimate ramen restaurant. Friendly staff instantly helped and gave recommendations as noted that I am not a local. Ramen and the fried rice accompanying it were extremely good - just loved the soup base.
If you love rich, flavorful shoyu ramen, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! The broth has a deep, savory soy sauce taste that is perfectly balanced—not too salty, but packed with umami. The slices of pork were tender and juicy, almost melting in your mouth. The marinated egg was perfectly seasoned, with a soft, creamy yolk that complemented the broth beautifully.
I also tried their chahan (fried rice), and it was just as amazing! It was fragrant, well-seasoned, and had just the right amount of wok char. The texture was perfect—fluffy rice with little bits of scrambled egg and vegetables, topped with a fresh raw egg yolk that added a delicious richness when mixed in.
The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and has that classic ramen shop vibe.
Whether you’re a ramen enthusiast or just looking for a hearty, satisfying meal, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back again!
A long-established ramen shop near Akita Station. It is open from early morning until late at night, so it can be used for various occasions. My favorite is clam butter ramen. The clam broth and butter in the salty soup add a seafood flavor and mellowness, making it delicious.
Dropped by to have some dinner before catching a bus. They had a very limited English menu but staff were willing to help with the little English spoken. I got a salt ramen which was medium sized but quite generous serving. Staff were also very friendly. Satisfied with my meal. Thank you
The butter base ramen soup taste unique! Fast serving speed!
Remember to carry cash 💰 with you because you will order through vending machine for a ticket 🎫
Vending machine > ticket > pass to the staff to order
⭐️: unlimited green onions to add into your soup
Throughout recommend to use google translate for the menu. It's pretty accurate.
Chukka Soba 中華そば (Ramen Noodles with Pork Slices) + Ramen Egg. This ramen chain has more outlets in Tohoku area and Akita is where the first shop started. Serving soy sauce based ramen, their dark broth may just be too salty for some. Special mention to their noodles texture which was the same medium default texture from Ichiran and their ramen egg is soy sauced which adds flavour (yep no need to dip in salt/ shio). The pork slices are not the usual ramen char siu as it’s more of lean pork slices shaved out from a slicing machine. I prefer a Tonkotsu based broth but if you like a soy sauce based one, this is the ramen chain you are looking for.
Open 24 hours! Great ramen, salty which is the way we like it. Order from vending machine, English menu hanging beside on the wall to help you order.

Yakiniku restaurant

AKITA GYU GENTEI is a popular restaurant known for its delicious meat and cozy atmosphere. It's recommended to make a reservation, especially on busy days. The set lunch offers great value for wagyu beef lovers, with high-quality meat that melts in your mouth. The service and cost performance are also highly praised by visitors. If you're looking for a satisfying feast of premium beef, this restaurant comes highly recommended.
the wagyu here was sooo tender and juicy, and melted in my mouth. the various cuts were all nicely marinated. the price (¥2000) was pretty decent for the quality of the meat, and comes with salad, kimchi, rice, miso soup and water. definitely check this place out if you’re in Akita!
Natalie — Google review
A restaurant specializing in wagyu in Akita offering Akita beef. There are good value for money set meals during lunch time. I had a yakiniku set that offers an assortment of beef cuts such as beef tongue and ribs and it was delicious.
Great amazing beef fresh right off the grill! If you love Akita beef or meat in general this is the place for you! The place has all kinds of meat from beef to pork with different types as well! The A5 Wagyu Akita beef is a must try with the taste melting in your mouth! I recommend adding wasabi in for a nice contrasting taste or meat and spice. Definitely a must visit even if your far! You won’t be disappointed in your dining experience!
Highly recommended for wagyu beef lover. I've ordered set lunch here which offer best value for money. Very good quality of meat, feel like it's melting in your mouth😋😋
I visited this restaurant, as it was both on my list of restaurants to visit after seeing images of tasty meat, as well as it had been recommended to me many times over
You had to have reserved a table to get in, or at least that was the case on a Saturday and I recommend you do it anyway. We had a table reservation initially at the counter, but as we arrived at the restaurant we were asked if we would like to be seated at a table instead. So we did, and after that it was time for a feast
The atmosphere was great. People were seated on the floor in their own tatami rooms and on the tables. Everyone was smiling and enjoying a wonderful meal. The staff was kind and didn't seem to be in a hurry, which was a nice surprise to see in a Japanese restaurant.
We had chosen a course set menu, which came with various kinds of meat, a starter and a dessert. The meat was one of the best I've had to date, and everything else was up to the same standard. It truly is one of, if not the best restaurants to eat meat in Akita
The prices also surprised me. Everyone had told me that it's a super expensive restaurant, but looking at the menu I wouldn't say so. If you go with a group of 4 people (exactly), you can get a set menu + a drink of your choice for around 3,000 yen, which is more than reasonable. For 2 people the set menu was 8000 + any drinks you order. It is worth the price!
So, gather your friends and go enjoy a nice dinner!
Has to be the best wagyu beef ever had in my life. Gorgeous atmosphere and super attentive service. The daikon salad was also a huge mountain of freshness!
I was a walk-in for lunch and was seated quickly. Wonderful staff and service overall.
The taste of the wagyu was amazing, as was the prawn. I would definitely come back again if I was in Akita.
If you’re a yakiniku lover, this place is heaven for premium beef enthusiasts! The restaurant specializes in Akita beef, and every cut we tried was absolutely top quality—richly marbled, tender, and bursting with natural flavor.
We ordered a selection of different cuts, including Akita wagyu, harami, sagari, tomosankaku, and zabuton, each beautifully presented with clear labels so you know exactly what you’re tasting. The marbling was perfect—melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with just the right balance of umami and sweetness. When lightly grilled, the beef released an incredible aroma and stayed unbelievably juicy.
The side dishes were equally impressive, from the crisp fresh lettuce wraps to the flavorful kimchi and refreshing pickles. Everything was thoughtfully prepared to complement the rich beef.
The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, making it perfect for both special occasions and casual gatherings. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, explaining the different cuts and recommending the best grilling times to maximize flavor.
What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional quality of the beef—you can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into raising Akita wagyu. It’s a memorable dining experience that showcases the best of Japanese yakiniku.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy premium wagyu beef in a relaxing and welcoming setting. I’ll definitely be coming back for another round of this unforgettable yakiniku!

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Omoriyama Zoo is a compact yet diverse zoo situated on a hilltop, featuring enclosures for giraffes, elephants, big cats, and birds along with a visitor center. One of its major attractions is the pair of African elephants which are seldom found in Japan. The zoo also houses healthy and large tigers. Additionally, there is a steam locomotive outside the zoo that adds to its charm.
Akita Omoriyama Zoo , Akitashi Omoriyama dōbutsuen), also known as “Milve”, is a municipal zoo opened in July 1967 in the city of Akita, Akita Prefecture, Japan. Opened in 1972, the zoo covers 15 hectares, with 114 species on display. It is accredited by the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums
The zoo is modeled after Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido with holding areas designed to mimic the animal’s natural habitat, and incorporating “action exhibits” where animal activity is encouraged, particularly during feeding time.The zoo began as a zoo attached to the Akita Prefectural Children’s Hall within the grounds of former Kubota Castle in October 1950. It was transferred to the control of Akita City in April 1953 and renamed the Akita City Children’s Zoo, and "Monkey Train ride" was very popular.[8][9] In September 1972, it was relocated to its present location.
The zoo successfully bred the tanuki in captivity in 1974, followed by the barn owl in 1978, and Japanese marten in 1994. It also successfully artificially inseminated the black-backed jackal in 1990 and demoiselle crane in 1995. All of these successes were the first time for a zoo in Japan.
György T — Google review
The trip was disappointing and heart-breaking. Although there are lots of animal species, some of their living environments were really bad when I visited (especially the penguin tank). Besides, some animals (wolf, bear) were constantly walking in circles, they look nervous and stressed out in their small living environment. I just hope the zoo reads this review and pays more attention to their animals.
As far as this ZOO compares to others around the world, very sad case of animals in small cages board to death!!! Tourists will struggle if they cannot understand Japanese as there is very little english to read with signage. Very 1970s The zoo needs more compassion towards the animals welfare. Cages were clean enough and animals look fed and had clean water. This ZOO won't last unless It's animals are better housed and mental health is improved. And a general clean up. The whole place is sad!!!!
This is my second visit in less than a year. Children under high school age are free so that was a big plus. There’s an attraction park there so my friend spent half the time there riding them. We enjoyed learning about the different animals. The elephant did seem a big lonely compared to a few months ago. Winter blues? Overall a great place and wheel chair friendly.
It was nice overall, many different kinds of animals. Some cages felt a bit small for the animals though.
It’s been so long that i did a review until i crossed this. I felt that this zoo deserve a 5 stars review as it’s really worth the trip and also way too spectacular. There are lot’s of variety and interactions with the animals up close and i mean real close, also the enclosure of the animals are pretty clean so there’s little smell to it and it’s really acceptable. Also, the food and service inside the zoo is affordable and pretty damn delicious. I was stuttered by the variety of things that the zoo has to offer and it’s got to be one of the best zoo i’ve been. I thought the whole trip was gonna take about 1 hour to explore but i was wrong. It took me 4 hours to finished everything because of the animals interaction up close and also their delicious food. I will definitely come back again. Both my wife and kid are very happy and we literally spend the entire day there with the animals. Also there is like a small amusement park sort of it. If you’re there best is to rent a car, it really convenient to move around. I will see you again Omoriyama Zoo! Thanks for showing me around
Small but beautiful place. Will visit soon again.
Comparatively small zoo but variety is good. Especially they have a pair of African elephants which I had not seen anywhere else in Japan. Tiger is also very big and healthy. Additional attraction is steam locomotive placed outside zoo. Slightly inconvenient to access. Takes 20 minutes with uphill slopes from Araya station.

There are still some road restrictions from the park to the Kanto Festival venue, so you will have to walk.

excellent!
(Translated by Google) I was satisfied with the 5,000 yen course, which consisted of 9 dishes (6 appetizers counted as 1 dish). The 6 parts of Hinai chicken teppanyaki was absolutely delicious. Also, there are many famous Akita sakes, so you can't help but drink too much...The soba noodles at the end are also exquisite! I thoroughly enjoyed the two and a half hours.

(Translated by Google) Visited for the first time in 12 years. Last time I came here during a midsummer tour around the Tohoku region, but this time I came here with my wife. The atmosphere of the shop is as calm as ever, and even though it has been 12 years, it still feels as comfortable as before. It's been over ten years now, so the prices have gone up a bit, but the course menu includes 9 types of local dishes, which is satisfying, and there's a wide selection of local sake, so it's recommended for those who like Japanese sake. I will definitely stop by again when I come to Akita.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by this restaurant while on a business trip to Akita. The food and drinks were both delicious, and the ingredients were carefully selected! As if the course menu wasn't enough, I also ordered an oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl). 😋
The female waitress was very friendly, and when I asked for a sake recommendation, she answered without a word of complaint. It really felt like a cozy restaurant!
I read in reviews that reservations were required, so I called on the day. Perhaps because it was raining, I was able to make a reservation easily. However, when I asked if I could order a la carte items, I was told, "We only accept course menus. We don't accept a la carte orders." However, I was able to order the oyakodon separately from the course menu. The person who answered the phone was a man, but I think it would be better if restaurants had a consistent policy.

I'm also happy that they use a lot of local ingredients.
I think people who write bad reviews are used to the taste of chemicals and sugar and find it a little disappointing.
The alcohol is a little pricey.
I'd be happy if I could get a full 180cc drink for less than 1000 yen.
Even so, it was still cheap enough for two people, as we drank about 10 glasses of sake and beer for 17600 yen.
The service was really great!!
I can't remember ever having such high-level service at an izakaya.
I think the service is at the level of a high-class inn.
It seems that taking photos with your smartphone at the counter is now possible without any problems.
The counter is a little narrow, so it's fine for friends, but it seems a little difficult for entertaining or dating.

(Translated by Google) ``There's a reason why stores don't go bankrupt,'' he said, visiting for the first time in 20 years.
When I entered the store, I first bought a meal ticket, miso and spicy ankake from the vending machine. It's a popular restaurant with a capacity of about 50 people, but we had to wait for two groups to be seated.
So, when I handed the food ticket to the staff member, he asked me, ``Is it okay if I get spicy sauce, it will take a little while?'' I thought to myself, ``It's too late now, just write it on the food ticket vending machine!''
Akita Champon is made by frying miso noodles until they are browned. The time difference between the bowls of miso and spicy ankake is about 10 minutes. I didn't understand why the store didn't go bankrupt.

(Translated by Google) [Akita City/Original Araiso Ramen]
Visit date:2025.5.2
Araiso Ramen near Akita City Hall,
It's been a while since I visited.
When you enter the store, there is a ticket vending machine in front of you.
The signboard menu is also the store's name.
Although it is Araiso Ramen,
What I was concerned about was
``Za Negi'' (1,100 yen).
This is a menu that didn't exist before, right?
Plenty of zha cai and green onions
It was miso ramen. I heard pepper
It was delicious with a spicy soup.
＼(^o^)／

【秋田市・元祖 荒磯ラーメン】
訪問日:2025.5.2
秋田市役所の近くにある荒磯ラーメン、
久々に訪問しました。
店に入ると目の前に券売機。
看板メニューは店名にもなっている
荒磯ラーメンですが、
私が気になったのは
『ザーネギ』（1,100円）。
こちら、昔は無かったメニューですよね？
ザーサイとネギがたっぷり盛られた
味噌ラーメンでした。コショウがきいた
ピリ辛仕立てのスープで美味しかったです
＼(^o^)／
(Translated by Google) It's not the original Araiso Ramen, but an izakaya called Kumagai?!
The photo shows mentaiko tamagoyaki.
It was delicious!

元祖 荒磯ラーメンではなく、くまがい という、居酒屋さん?!ですね。
写真は、めんたい卵焼きです。
美味しかった～！
(Translated by Google) I had the Araiso ramen with salt. Although it is an animal-based soup, the flavors of the shrimp, shellfish, and seaweed from the ingredients combine to create a delicious soup. The noodles are stir-fried medium thick noodles with a chewy texture. It's Akita-style Champon. I only choose salt, but miso and soy sauce are also available. By default, it has a lot of pepper and is spicy. The many ingredients such as cabbage, shrimp, squid, scallop strings, and wakame stems are filling and delicious. It is also topped with raw eggs. Halfway through, the taste changes with the spiciness and pickled ginger on the table, and it's a complete meal. Thank you for the meal. The parking lot is next to the store. It's not very spacious, so be careful when parking.
(Original)
荒磯ラーメン塩いただきました。動物系のスープですが、具材から出たエビや貝、海藻などの風味が合わさって、美味しいスープです。麺は炒められた中太麺で、モチッとした歯ごたえ。秋田風のちゃんぽんですね。自分は塩一択ですが、味噌󠄀、醤油もあります。デフォでコショウがけっこう入っていて、スパイシーです。キャベツ、エビ、イカ、ホタテのヒモ、茎わかめなどの沢山の具材が食べごたえがあって美味しいです。生卵もトッピングされてます。途中から卓上の辛味や紅生姜で味変し完食です。ご馳走さまでした。駐車場はお店の横にあります。あまり広くないので駐車の際は注意しましょう。
(Translated by Google) When I went there for the first time in a few years, it had been replaced by a ticket vending machine.
Miso and salt, 1100 yen each.
A long time ago it used to have oysters in it, but now it has scallops and boiled shrimp.
The miso lost its richness.
The salt was not good even though I omitted the egg.
1100 yen is a bad cost performance.
I wish the boiled rice would cost 900 yen because it doesn't get old.
(Original)
数年ぶりに行ったら券売機に変わってた。
味噌と塩、各1100円。
かなり前は牡蠣が入ってたが今はホタテとボイルした海老。
味噌はコクが無くなった。
塩は卵抜きにしたがいまいち。
1100円はコスパ悪い。
ボイル海老いらないから900円にして欲しいな。
(Translated by Google) I went back for the first time in a few years and found it had been replaced with a ticket machine.
I ordered the recommended miso.
In the past, I thought it had a strong seaweed flavor and wasn't a big fan,
but this time it didn't taste that bad.
The topping on it was mekabu seaweed? kelp?
I think.
Personally, it didn't taste very ramen-like.
In terms of value for money,
I think I'll order something else next time.
(Original)
数年ぶりに行ってみましたら券売機になっていました。
オススメの味噌をオーダー
以前は磯感が強く、苦手なイメージでしたが
今回はそこまで感じませんでした。
乗っているトッピングがめかぶ？こんぶ？
でしょうか、
個人的にはあまりラーメンぽくなく
コスパ的にも
次は別のメニューを頼むかな、と思いました。

Fantastic negi miso ramen
The gyoza was wonderful and so was the fried chicken!
David J — Google review
Excellent ramen, comfortable atmosphere, nice people. Go early to miss the queue!
(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in several years. The food is as delicious as ever. The prices have gone up significantly, but I think they're doing a good job in these times.
Personally, I prefer Cantonese noodles. The flavors of the filling and soup are clear and satisfying.
I also like the crunchiness of the fried chicken and the rich filling of the gyoza.
I entered the restaurant just before 6pm on a weekday and was lucky enough to be shown to a table right away, but soon more and more customers were arriving and a line was forming.
(Original)
数年ぶりに訪問しました。相変わらず美味しいです。大幅に値上げされていましたが、このご時世では頑張っている方だと思います。
個人的には広東麺派。餡とスープの味がくっきりしていて食べ応えがあります。
からあげのカリカリ感と餃子の中身が詰まっている感じも好きです。
平日の18時前に入店したら運良くすぐ案内されましたが、間を置かずにどんどんお客さんが来て列ができていました。
(Translated by Google) Saturday, August 23, 2025
This was my first visit from another prefecture. There was a line of 1,100 people, but I got in on the first round. There were about six seats at the counter and about seven table seats with partitions. They brought us water, and there was a pitcher at our seats for refills. Tissues were only available in front of the register, I think. I arrived about 10 minutes later. They asked if the ramen noodles were about 160g, so I ordered a large serving for an additional 120 yen. My companion ordered chive soba. The ramen had gluten shaped like a cross. One piece of pork slice. The noodles were medium-thick, slightly curly, and slightly round. The soup had a strong chicken flavor. The large serving was just right. I waited in line when I left. It was my first time eating ramen in Akita, and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

他県から初来店。1100着で並んでいましたが1巡目で入れました。カウンター6席くらい、間仕切りあるテーブル席7くらいありました。水は持ってきてくれて、おかわりは席にピッチャーあります。ティッシュはレジ前にしかありません。多分。10数分後来ました。中華そばの麺量が160くらい？と言うので大盛り120円追加で注文。一緒に行った人はニラそば注文。中華そばには十文字のようにお麩が入っていました。チャーシュー一枚。麺は中太多少縮れで少し丸い麺でした。スープは鶏系が強いイメージでした。大盛りでちょうど良かったです。帰る時も並んで待っていました。秋田の中華そば初でしたが美味しかったです。ごちそうさまでした！
(Translated by Google) I arrived around 1 PM on a Friday during the Obon holiday. There were about 12 groups in line, but we were in the shade and didn't suffer from the heat. (There was no name board or check-in machine.)
I had the Niku Soba (beef soba). The curly noodles were coated in a rich, oily soy sauce soup, which was delicious. 👍 The nori wasn't made in a sheet, so it clung to the noodles, making them easy to eat and adding a nice flavor. I thought it was especially delicious!

(Translated by Google) 2025.5.2 Lunch Chive soba…900 yen
196th bowl of ramen in 2025
A popular group that won first place in the 5th Akita Ramen General Election.
With the bright flavor of chives all over the place, this is a drink you're sure to fall in love with!
Surprisingly, there is quite a lot of pork, and it is very appealing in terms of filling.

2025.5.2昼 ニラそば…900円
2025年ラーメン196杯目
第5回 秋田ラーメン総選挙で1位に輝いた人気グループ。
ニラの鮮やかな香味が全面に押し出された、確かにハマること必至の一杯！
何気に豚肉も結構たっぷりで、食べ応えの面でも訴求力が高い。
(Translated by Google) The chive soba has a sweet base soup with chili oil for a spicy kick. It's not too spicy and goes well with rice.
I wish they provided tissues or something at the seats.
(Original)
ニラそばは、ベースのスープは甘めで辣油で辛さを出しています。辛さはそれ程でもなく、ごはんによく合う感じです。
座席にティッシュ等を置いてほしいです。
(Translated by Google) This is a ramen shop that has won first place several times in the Akita Ramen General Election, and is a substitute ramen shop in Akita. It originated in Odate and has several stores in the prefecture, including the Akita City store.
Although it is called ramen, the signature menu items are the most popular chive soba and the second most popular Cantonese noodles, so it is different from the ramen that Tokyo people imagine.
This kind of unusual ramen has a weakness in that you cannot know the taste until you try it, and you cannot imagine the taste from the appearance, but the chive soba tasted exactly as it looked. As you can see, the soup has a spicy chili oil-like flavor, and the egg makes the taste a little milder. The noodles are thin. The stir-fried vegetables are mainly chives and bean sprouts, and the pork is almost nonexistent as a decoration.
The taste is ordinary, and to put it bluntly, it would not be strange if Hidakaya were to serve it. However, it is a ramen that suits the climate of Akita, which stimulates the appetite during the summer fatigue season and warms the body during the cold winter. It seems like it would be loved as soul food by the people of the prefecture, but for someone who is not a resident of the prefecture, once was enough, and it's not something worth lining up for.
(Original)
秋田ラーメン総選挙とかで第一位を数度取っている、秋田の代用的なラーメン店。大館が発祥で県内数店舗、その秋田市店。
ラーメンと言っても、看板メニューは、一番人気 ニラそば、二番人気 広東麺 ということで、東京人が思い浮かぶラーメンとは異なる。
この手の変わり種ラーメンは、食べてみないと味がわからない、見た目から味が想像できない、といった弱点があるのだが、ニラソバについては、みたまんまの味だった。見ての通りラー油的な辛さの効いたスープ、タマゴがその味をややマイルドに仕立てる。麺は細麺。ニラともやしが主の炒め野菜、なお、豚肉は飾り程度で無いに等しい。
味わいは平凡、身も蓋もない言い方をすると、日高屋あたりが出しても、おかしくなさそうなラーメンではある。ただ、夏バテの季節には食欲をそそり、寒い冬には体が温まる、という、秋田の風土に合ったラーメンではある。県民のソウルフードとして愛されそうな存在ではありそうだが、県民ではない身では、一度で十分、また、行列してまで食べるようなものではなかった。

Shopping
ALS is a bustling station mall with a diverse range of retail shops, international dining options, and souvenir stores offering local goods. Visitors can explore the 100 yen store for travel essentials and browse through clothing outlets and a nearby Muji store. The area is conveniently close to the train station, making it an ideal stop for travelers. Additionally, there are various food stores and connections to the train station souvenirs department where one can find delightful desserts.
A must-visit place to dine and buy souvenirs. Some stores don’t allow to take photos of video which is kind of awkward because taking photos and videos is one way of promoting their shop.
J P — Google review
Nice shopping mall just next to the JR Station.
Very close to train station. Has 100 yen store here where you could easily grab your necessities if you're a Traveller.
Lots of clothing store which you could browse in. There's a muji nearby.
There's also plenty of food stores around and might be connected to the train station souvenirs and ohmiyages department where you could grab nice desserts.
The gateway to Akita. In adjacent TOPICO you get most souvenirs such as Akita's illustrations towels and foods. Because coin lockers are few, soon first come, first serve. If you are in the busy season, first of all lockers should be secured.
If you do not mind, please press👍
Akita Station is the gateway to Our Lady of Akita. For Roman Catholics, Our Lady of Akita is one important pilgrim destinations.
Old style retro mall. Good to wander around.
Nice place to shop
(Translated by Google) shopping center tending to luxury with several outlets for both local food and canned products, and foreign food, with bistros and places to eat, and souvenir shops and various items including gifts. The space is very quiet for this category of shops. If you don't have budget limits it can be very interesting to make purchases or stop for a bite to eat. I always really like to go there, it's air conditioned.
(Original)
centro commerciale tendente al lussuoso con diversi punti vendita sia per cibo e prodotti inscatolati locali, sia per cibo estero, sia con bistrot e posti dove mangiare, sia negozi di souvenir E articoli di vario genere anche regalo. Lo spazio è molto silenzioso per essere di questa categoria di negozi. Se non si hanno limiti di budget può essere molto interessante fare acquisti o fermarsi a mangiare qualcosa. A me piace molto sempre farci un giro, è climatizzato.

Izakaya restaurant
Japanese regional restaurant
Akita Kiritanpo Restaurant is an izakaya that specializes in serving kiritanpo, a popular local dish made of mashed rice on a skewer, toasted and added to hot pot dishes with seasonal vegetables and meat, especially chicken. This traditional winter delicacy originated as a snack for hunters and woodcutters but has become a staple in Akita. The restaurant offers counter seats or floor tables and provides an engaging experience by explaining the story of kiritanpo through picture books.
This is a very cozy restaurant, with very friendly and helpful staff. There is no English menu, but Google will help. The Kiritanpo Nabe was delicious!
Romero M — Google review
I was unpleasantly surprised to be charged an extra 1000 yen just for the seat. Yes, it was written in the menu, but only in Japanese, and the staff didn’t inform me about it when I ordered. I don’t speak Japanese and I don’t translate every page of the menu with my phone – usually just the food I want to try. It left a really bad impression and took away the enjoyment of the visit.
I seriously have no idea how the food taste like.. but the service I do.. It's horrible. We were traveling around Japan and this is the first time I come to Akita and we wanted to try some Akita' food. I saw in a website which recommended this restaurant therefore we went to the restaurant around 1730hrs which is around 30mins after they open. The restaurant has a fine environment and looks like authentic farmhouse deco, which we wanted to experience this setup. My friend asked for a table for 2. And the lady directly say FULL in a rude tone. That's ok, I assume she doesn't speak much English and just use the word she know to inform us. However, the worse part comes next. My friend turned around and leave and I saw the lady gave a disgusted face to my friend behind his back. I am not sure if she doesn't want to entertain tourist or what. But that gave a really bad impression to traveller who came to Akita. We don't owe her anything and this is definitely not how we wanted to be treated. So, I really not sure if the food is so good that she is too arrogant or she plainly doesn't like to deal with non japanese or even not local. I been to Japan many times and this is not how the Japanese standard of customer service.
Good izakaya, the staff explains the story of kiritanpo with pictures book. Better call to reserve if you want to get a table. The chicken meat is a bit hard, but the rest is ok
The waitress was so nice to me and she speaks English. She explain the menu and also the story of kirintapo.
Good atmosphere and quick service. Food is well cooked and good price per person for quality of food. Would come back here again.
Charged a 1000 per person seating fee, that they did not share beforehand. Be sure to ask before getting charged extra.
The food was mediocre for the price, expensive and not that tasty.
Cool kitschy atmosphere though, and friendly service staff who were very nice.
I've come to this restaurant as a European tourist so my review will probably only be useful to westerners. This was our first trip outside Tokyo/regular western tourist places in Japan. If you come here -and you should- you need to have an open mind and understand that the staff may not be used to dealing with foreigners. Be patient and they'll engage. I know I sound patronizing but bear with me.
They offered us an English menu, but when they saw that we were eager to check the more varied Japanese one, they started pointing us to their recommendations. They seemed happy we were willing to try their dishes. The star dish is Kiritanpo nabe, a local specialty. I would call it a delicatessen. It is a stew that can be made with several different types of meat -we tried the rabbit and boar one- accompanied with other ingredients that I'll leave to your discovery and Kiritanpo, something akin to polenta but made of rice paste. It is like nothing you've seen at home but delicious nonetheless.
Now, what made this place special for us was the genuine cultural experience. The staff seemed to be just as amazed as we were of being there. We had a blast dining here and although we could only understand each other through Google Translate and Lens, we ended up laughing together. A truly touching experience for those who want to explore what lies beyond the limits of mainstream Japanese megalopolises. I will come back if I ever get the chance. 100% recommended.

FONTE AKITA is a charming shopping destination that offers a delightful blend of quality and affordability, reminiscent of its predecessor, the Ito Yokado. Nestled in a building that once housed this general merchandise store, it stands as an accessible alternative to the pricier Seibu across the street. The layout reflects the typical design found in local city station fronts, making it easy to navigate.

Old style shopping mall. Reminded me of Australian malls in the 70's. Retro, good.
(Translated by Google) I came from Aomori and walked from the hotel where I was staying to Akita Station, but because of the rain the day before (it was so heavy my umbrella got turned upside down 💦) my shoes got soaked so I went to buy some shoes and socks. It was a great help.

However, there is no large play equipment, so energetic children may have some free time.

(Translated by Google) For those who remember the heyday of Ito-Yokado, it may seem a little deserted and lonely, but it seems to be busy with customers on weekends, holidays, and children's long holidays.
The building itself feels quite old.
The basement is a grocery store, but the prices seem a little high, probably because the goods are good.
The first floor is occupied by tenants such as Tokyo Shoe Distribution Center.
The second floor is occupied by several tenants, mainly Loft, and has an entrance directly connected to Akita Station.
The third floor is occupied by tenants such as New Kaneta.
The fourth floor has a hospital, a 100 yen shop, a game center, and more.
The entire fifth floor is a bookstore.
There are government facilities on the sixth floor.
The seventh floor has restaurants, a hospital, and more.
It seems that the food store in the basement will be disappearing.

Just beautiful,and relaxing
(Translated by Google) 2024. Weekdays in late December. There is an Atrion South Parking Lot nearby, and there is a fee (if you purchase souvenirs on the basement floor, there is a parking service depending on the price, and the 77 Bank also has a parking service, but I read that it is a little narrow in the reviews, so I am not good at driving) (I parked in a paid parking lot)
I came here for the 77th Bank and the souvenir shop in the basement. There are also museums and blood drives.
There were a lot of companies there, and it was a quiet place.
I took a look at the atrium and thought it was beautiful. The entire building is closed on December 31st and January 1st.

(Translated by Google) The replacement of players for the local professional soccer team "Blaublitz Akita" has been announced, Kochi camp has begun, and the 2024 season is finally in full swing!
On January 27th, a "kick-off event" will be held on the first basement floor of Akita Atrion in Akita City, and I applied and won! Since we didn't win the lottery for the new system presentation, we somehow managed to win, and of course we participated.
The event starts at 2:20 p.m., and entry begins at 2:00 p.m. The morning's work was more exciting than I expected, and I left the customer just before 1:00 p.m. We ate lunch quickly and finally arrived around 2:40pm.
The event had already begun, and President Iwase's greetings were almost over, and I managed to catch a two-shot with MC Shaba Dabao.
After that, we divided into three parts and interviewed all the players. I was able to hear about my strong points and my goals for this season, both with laughter and with a serious look.
The interviews with the new players are quite fresh, and I'm sure they'll be active this season!
At the end, all the players appeared and the event ended with a greeting from Nakamura. This season marks the fourth year for J2. The goal is to enter the play competition. I believe that you will make it come true, and I will do my best to support you!
The home opener will be against Sendai on March 16th. The next match is against Tochigi, a home match on March 20th. For the past two days, we have held an event to attract customers entitled ``10,000 People Support Project.'' We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible to help us achieve this goal.
Also, crowdfunding for Blaublitz Akita's environmental improvements started on March 1st. Thank you for your cooperation!

Udon noodle restaurant
Sato Yosuke is a small udon restaurant located on the 3rd floor of a food building in Akita. The udon here is thinner than usual, with a wonderful texture and great flavor. Customers particularly enjoy the goma dipping sauce and the delicious soup broth. The chicken soup udon with sliced chicken on top is highly recommended, although some find the chicken to be slightly chewy. Despite being a bit pricey, many visitors really enjoy this unique udon dining experience.
First time trying Inaniwa udon (flatter and thinner than normal udon) and it was delicious! Both dipping sauce complemented the noodles well, and I like the sesame sauce more. Tempura was light and not greasy. Overall a light meal and would love to return.
Felicia O — Google review
I went here again the next day after the Akita branch. It was even more delicious than yesterday. I didn't have to wait long to eat.
The beef bowl was absolutely delicious.
Best tempura chicken. Staff are extremely patient and helpful. Would 100% eat here again.
Ordered the inaniwa udon with 2 sauces.
Food: Inaniwa udon it the local specialty here. It's a very different, silky, chewy texture compared to other udon, and I enjoyed it with sauces. If you need protein, you can top up with some tempura.
Service: The usual Japanese politeness, which is good. Tea is provided during the meal.
Atmosphere: Mall atmosphere. Not many seats, so you may have to queue by writing ur name on a list, or go during off peak hours.
You can try both the one of the top 3 udon and chicken breed here. You’ll have to wait in line.
People say the udon is the one must-eat food in Akita. This place is small and on the 3rd floor of a food building. I ordered the chicken soup udon in regular size; it was thin type udon with sliced chicken on top, the chicken was so good but a little bit chewy. Overall, it tasted good but pricey for me.
We really enjoyed this udon restaurant. The udon is thinner than typical udon and has a wonderful texture and excellent flavor. I especially enjoyed the goma dipping sauce. The soup broth was very good and I loved the smoked daikon pickle.
The noodles of udon were really chewy.

Udon noodle restaurant
Japanese regional restaurant
Sato Yosuke Akita is a must-visit for udon enthusiasts, offering both cold and hot varieties. The hot udon stands out with its flavorful seafood-based soup and satisfyingly chewy texture. Additionally, the Inaniwa Udon, a local favorite in Akita, is a thinner and smoother version of traditional udon, reminiscent of Thai glass noodles or a chewier version of hor fun in Singapore.
We wanted udon and tempura while we were in Akita and this restaurant had solid reviews. It’s located in the Seibu department store right outside of Akita Station on the basement floor. It’s near to many other restaurants with similar offerings. We ordered the Hinai Chicken rice, cold soba with two sauces, and hot udon. All were delicious. My husbands favorite was the cold soba with the sesame sauce. The tempura was perfection and came with an assortment of vegetables (pumpkin, snap pea, and mushrooms) as well as a shrimp and fish tempura. Overall, a very solid meal.
Ema A — Google review
It was a nice udon place. If you like udon, please try. The noodle is quite thin compared to the udon elsewhere. I like the cold one better than the hot one.
There is a cold with 2 sauces that should be better than what I ordered. The hot and cold with one sauce (soy sauce is as in the menu, we changed one to sesame they charged 70 yen more which was fair enough because 1. It was not on the menu 2. Other menu with the choices between sauces are 50 yens different).
The tempura is mediocre.
Worth the visit! Highly recommended. Tried the two sauce cold udon which usually the sesame sauce might not be on point, but this one was great! Also had the warm udon w tempura set, it tasted great too!
The cold udon was something I wanted to try while here in Akita and the hot udon was what I needed in the winter weather. Luckily they had a set including tempura! Service was great and both styles were delicious.
The best udon.
It is a bit expensive for udon, but it is worth the price. Order a generous portion. The grated radish is delicious.
You can try Akita special, Inaniwa udon. Quite different from normal Udon noodle you think, but it's definitely worth trying. This place is pretty popular. Therefore, you might experience some waiting time, but the cycle runs fairly quickly since it's noodle dish, especially if you are visiting for lunchtime.
One of the best I had eaten …. The noodles silky smooth.
Go for the cold version is darn good
There is a line but its quite fast and the food... uf the food i would repeat for sure.

Good restaurant to try some of Akita's traditional foods. Quirky kamakuras to sit in and eat your food. English menu availiable on request. Food was very tasty. Also had a range of local beers. Located close to JR Akita station, it's easy to find....just look for the igloos at the front door
Jason — Google review
I had a great experience with my friends here! They made us pass very nice goodbye parties in this place. You can even find a menu in English, even if the waiters don't speak English they were very helpful. We even broke the door of one of the rooms, but they didn't make us pay for it. Prices of ISAKAYA aren't high, and they are normal.
Kamakura no sato is a great dining experience for those unfamiliar with Akita culture. You can sit in a Kamakura replica and dine on Akita delicacies such as hata hata and kiritanpo. If you stay around there is also a dinner show with namahage. It is a great Akita experience.
An excellent restaurant with some proper Akita items. Love it.
Memorable winter experience

(Translated by Google) First time in Akita prefecture.
Traveling 750km one way by car was a little tough.
It was my first time to try authentic Kiritanpo hotpot.
The soup stock was quite black and looked thick, but surprisingly it wasn't and it was sweet and delicious.
The Kiritanpo itself wasn't as good as I had high expectations, but it was delicious as it soaked up the dashi soup.
Hinai Jidori was also average, probably because expectations had reached its peak.
The private rooms in the store are made into kamakura (a kamakura), and for someone like me who came from another prefecture, I was able to fully enjoy my first visit to Akita just from the atmosphere and the good customer service from the staff.
Thank you for the meal.

Kanbun Gonendo is a charming eatery located alongside the art museum, where patrons can indulge in an array of traditional noodle dishes. The ambiance is delightful, complemented by the pleasant sounds of authentic music. This dining establishment boasts a unique selection of udon noodles, including the renowned Akita variety, along with lesser-known options like Nyumen. With its delectable flavors and reasonable prices, Kanbun Gonendo has become a popular destination for discerning diners.
Ichiban Udon and also Tempura. 100% recommendations.
Chan K — Google review
Service was really really poor. Taste of the udon is inferior to neighboring restaurants. Priced slightly lower than others but Wouldn’t use the store again.
I ate lunch and had the Inaniwa Udon with tempura and it was good. Did not need a reservation. I would go back.
The udon is great!
(Translated by Google) (Visited in August 2024) Open until 10 o'clock. Luckily, we came in at 9 o'clock without having to queue (special opening on festival holidays). It is recommended to try the raw noodles and dry noodles separately to see the difference.
🍜Amibi 天ぷらセット¥1770
Raw noodles on the left, dry noodles on the right. The texture of the raw noodles is more like the common udon noodles, which are harder, thicker and chewier. Although I personally prefer hard noodles, I would vote for the dry noodles this time because they are smoother, thinner and more impressive.
The tempura side dishes included two shrimps, pumpkin, eggplant, corn shoots and basil. They were fried a bit oily but the taste was okay.
❗️Surprisingly, the pickles were great, the cucumbers were super delicious, so delicious that the sister next to me kept saying her teeth were broken. There is another kind of melon underneath, which has a very special smoky flavor (it’s Akita’s special product “Iburigatko”). The mushrooms are also salty, sweet and fresh, and go well with rice (noodles). Even if you don’t order chicken or tempura, it’s still a good match.
There are two kinds of dipping sauces for udon noodles: bonito soy sauce and miso sesame. The latter has a fish flavor that is pretty good.
The tea was also very special, with a very strong and slightly bitter aftertaste, but I couldn't figure out whether it was buckwheat tea or black oolong.

左邊生麵、右邊乾麵。生麵比較像常見的烏龍麵口感，比較硬比較粗更有嚼勁，個人雖然比較喜歡硬麵但這次要投乾麵一票，因為更滑溜且薄，令人印象深刻。
配菜天婦羅給兩隻蝦、南瓜茄子玉米筍紫蘇，炸得偏油，口味還行。
❗️令人出乎意料的是漬物很厲害，黃瓜超級好吃，好吃到旁邊的姐姐一直說牙敗。底下還有另一種瓜，有股煙燻味很讚很特別（是秋田特有名產「煙燻漬物（いぶりがっこ）」），香菇也鹹甜鮮甜很下飯（麵）就算沒有叫雞或天婦羅也有得配。
烏龍麵有兩種沾汁：鰹魚醬油、味噌胡麻，後者有一個魚介味還不錯。
茶也很特別，有一個很重微苦的後味，但搞不懂是蕎麥茶還是黑烏龍。
(Translated by Google) It is located on the first floor of a facility behind the Akita Prefectural Museum of Art. It is a new and beautiful store. There was a combination of dried and fresh Inaniwa udon noodles, so I thought it was interesting and ordered it. I had never eaten fresh Inaniwa udon before, so I was very curious. When it was brought out in front of me, the fresh noodles seemed a little thick. Perhaps because of this, the texture was not chewy but rather hard. If I had to compare it to something, it would be closer to Goto udon. When I ate them side by side, I felt that the dried Inaniwa udon was overwhelmingly more delicious. I was convinced that it was worth the time and effort to make it by hand from scratch, even though it is a modern day product. The manufacturing process is detailed on the Kanbun 5-nendo website, so it may be helpful. If it is stretched by pulling, the cross section should be round, but the process of finishing it into an oval shape, the air bubbles inside the noodles, etc. are unique to Inaniwa udon, and there is a deep technique involved.

秋田県立美術館裏手の施設の1階にある。新しくてきれいな店だ 稲庭うどんの乾麺と生めんの合盛りがあったので 面白いと思いそれを注文 生の稲庭うどんは食べたことがなかったので興味津々 いざ目の前に出てくると 生めんの方は やや太く感じる。そのせいか 食感もコシ というより硬めなイメージ 何かにたとえれば 五島うどんに近い。比較しながら食べると圧倒的に乾麺である稲庭うどんの方が旨いと感じる。今どきながら 一から手造りで 手間と時間をかける意味があるもんだと納得。寛文5年堂のホームページに製造工程が詳しく載ってるので 参考になるかと 本来引っ張って伸ばすのであれば 断面は丸くなるはずだが それを楕円形に仕上げる工程とか 麺の中の気泡など 稲庭うどんならではの奥深い技があるんですな。

I was starving, so I had Inaniwa udon at Kanbun Gonendo, right after getting off the airport bus.
Here you can compare fresh noodles and dried noodles. Yes, the dried noodles are thinner and chewier, which I prefer. The sesame sauce is delicious. The regular noodle soup felt a bit thin.
It was 6:30pm on a Saturday, so I was prepared to line up, but it was empty.

Museums
The Akita Museum of Art in Japan is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts. The museum, designed by renowned architect Ando Tadao, is dedicated to the works of Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita, showcasing a diverse collection of modern and contemporary art including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics. Situated in the heart of Akita city near Senshu Park, the museum offers an immersive experience through carefully curated exhibitions and installations.
Designed by Tadao Ando, part of the appeal of the museum is its architecture. There was a special exhibition by Kiborino Konno featuring woodcraft that mimics food.
There is a cafe - shop overlooking the water feature on the second floor and offering views of the former Akita castle and park.
Lee L — Google review
The Fujita Tsuguharu exhibit was really interesting and the huge painting of Akita was amazing!
It's worth a visit just to see the architecture, the staircase is so cool.
The cafe is also a great place to spend time with huge windows and a great view. A great place to watch the snow. The roll cake was one of the best I've tasted too!
You can come to visit the cafe without having to pay for entrance ticket. The cafe has a beautiful view of the roof infinity pool.
安藤忠雄又一力作
small museum and Ando styled concrete geometry outside . The triangular portal and concrete staircase is a masterpiece inside. The crowning glory is the full length cafe on second floor using the balcony as a reflecting pond taking in the scenary of the orchestral hall and 千秋公園across the street . Better spend time here with a coffee than entering the museum per se
I really liked it, the architecture is amazing, good artworks and the view from the cafe is absolutely beautiful.
By the way, the usucha made at the cafe was PERFECT, better than in a lot pf specialiced tea houses
Great museum. I'm usually not the biggest fan of brutalist architecture, but it fits the vibe theyre going for with the place. The current paid exhibition is stunning, a massive, at least 15m long panel painting that the artist completed in only 2 weeks. Its ridiculous and amazing. The free exhibition is great too, 3 massive sheets of printed fabric and paintings to go along with them. Its worth a visit if you find yourself in Akita
Tadao Ando has created another wonderful piece of architecture.
The special exhibit was exciting, and the architecture is stunning too. However, I wish the special exhibit ticket also included entrance to the permanent exhibit too. Instead, I had to buy two tickets. The permanent collection is nice but small.

The Akarenga-kan Museum, situated in Akita, Japan, is housed in a magnificent red-brick building that was once the headquarters of the Akita Bank. This cultural and historical landmark showcases a diverse range of exhibits featuring regional arts, crafts, and historical artifacts. Visitors can delve into collections encompassing traditional crafts, artworks, historical documents, and artifacts that offer insights into Akita's rich history and cultural heritage.
The building is historic, over 100 years old. The display of goods produced locally is impressive. Definitely worth a visit.
Mahmoud R — Google review
From the outside the building is very nice. Unfortunately all the shutters were down and looked like it had been that way for some time. There was a sign on the front door but couldn't understand it. If your planning on coming to see this building from the inside, it'd be well worth investigating whether it's going to be open. Still nice to see from the outside though.
A small museum in a former bank with a modern block attached showcasing artworks by artists like Kawase Hasui and Katsuhira Tokushi.
This is the former bank building constructed in 1912.
Fireplaces and beautiful old decorations remain.
Many of Tokushi KATSUHIRA (1904-1971)'s prints are also on display.
He was an artist who has drawn traditional Akita scenes, agricultural landscapes, shrine festivals, playing children, and so on.
every japan northern city has a similar building which is the old central prefertural bank . This is our third one after 盛岡and 山形。 This is also surprisingly the smallest one . Free exhibits of the trading hall and lovingly maintained walls and ceilings. 大正 nostalgia all around
Good place to spend an hour or so out of the cold of Akita city.
Cool history and building! Worth a little stop. Co-entry ticket with the Kanto Festival Museum available.
Good vibe. Interesting history

It's a fun spot with events regularly held, including "Akita Inu Station," where you can meet Akita dogs on weekends, restaurants serving breakfast, an art museum, and an exhibition space. The sounds of the street piano are pleasant, and the "Meguri Umbrella" umbrellas are very convenient for sudden rain showers. I hope the city center, including this area, becomes even more lively.

Are people looking at me as a tourist?! (I can't help it because I took a picture of the entrance to the museum after it closed with my smartphone in hand, haha) When I passed by the facility, I felt someone looking at me, and the moment I looked inside, I noticed that there were 7-8 people there.

Kubota Castle Ruins, located in Akita, Japan, is a former castle site that now features a rebuilt tower and a museum. Visitors can enjoy seasonal cherry blossoms and picturesque views of the city from the top level of the tower. Despite its smaller size compared to other castles in Japan, it offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere with few tourists. The site is conveniently close to Akita train station, making it easily accessible for travelers.
It's highest place on 千秋公園 and can get great overviews around Akira city, inside this building is a lot of thing in Edo period.
Ngoc S — Google review
It was a pity that when we visited the castle, it’s a cloudy and rainy and therefore, everywhere was dark. But looking at the snow scene, it looked really nice. After visiting multiple castles here in Japan in the past, the size of this paled in comparison. It’s not a big one and inside, there was only a few levels available to visitors. The top level was a good place to have a birds eye’s view of the entire region. We were the only people there when we visited. Parking facilities were a bit of a walk though.
Beautiful park with fountain and shops. Beautiful dogs and pups, Akitas. It's a nice family place. Even saw a wedding!! So beautiful.
Everytime when I travel akita.
I will come here.
Few tourists.
You can relax there.
Take a lot of photos without other people.
It is very near akita train station.
Walking less than 10 minutes.

Here is not so touristic. The seafood is nice.
(Translated by Google) If you want to try Akita's specialty Hinai chicken, this is the place to go. Hinai chicken yakitori has a great texture, but it's still expensive at over 300 yen. Local sake is also available, but the price is generally higher.

(Translated by Google) Akita's specialty
It was a restaurant that served Kiritanpo hotpot and Hinai chicken, and it was really delicious.

秋田の名物
きりたんぽ鍋と比内地鶏を食べさせてくれるお店でしたが本当に美味しいお店でした
(Translated by Google) It's delicious. However, when it gets crowded, you will have to wait quite a while for food and drinks. When I asked for the menu, I was told that they didn't have it in stock.

美味しいです。しかし混雑してくるとかなり料理、お酒待たされます。メニュー頼んでも入荷がないとの事でした。

Tempura restaurant
Akita Tempura MIKAWA is a renowned tempura shop located just a few minutes by car or a 20-minute walk from Akita Station. It's an establishment of Mikawa's apprentice in Tokyo, with only 8 seats at its L-shaped counter. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for the lunch course priced at 12000 yen.
friendly service and customers, best tempura in the region, good sake selection
Reaper0fgamez — Google review
We had been in Mikawa Tokyo before so we really looked forward to try this in Akita. But we were all disappointed. The batter is too thin or inconsistent and the food quality is not high standard. The Anago was especially bad as there were still scales on the skin. The best item of the whole menu is the fresh & raw shrimp at the beginning. This is really bad. I really regret eating at this restaurant at such a high price.
BEST TEMPURA / NEAT BAR / KIND CHEF
HAS EVERYTHING BUT DRAFT BEER
(Translated by Google) If you go to Akita, you should definitely stop by for some tempura 🍤
The ultimate fried food is tempura!! That's my opinion (^o^)
The delicious flavor of the ingredients is wrapped in a soft batter and is delicious!
They offer seasonal ingredients for each season. I've only been there from winter to early spring, so I'd like to visit in a different season next time!!
They welcome you warmly even if you're alone!
The charm of this place is that when you sit at the counter, you naturally become friends with the people around you

秋田に行ったら是非立ち寄っていただきたい天ぷら🍤
揚げ物の究極はやはり天ぷら！！と言う持論(^o^)
素材の旨味を優しい衣がサクッと包んで美味！
季節毎に旬の食材を提供してくれます。冬〜春先ばかり行ってるので次回は別の季節に伺いたいです！！
一人でも温かく迎えてくれます！
カウンターに座ると周りの方とも自然と仲良くなってしまうのが魅力
(Translated by Google) I finally made it to the restaurant I'd been wanting to go to 🥰
Reservations can be made by phone one month in advance.
The restaurant is a 20-minute walk from Akita Station.
I took a local bus.
The bus leaves from Akita Station bus stop No. 7.
The bus takes 8 minutes and stops near the restaurant.
Get off at the stop called Red Brick Local Museum. It costs 170 yen.
From there it's a 3-minute walk to the front of the restaurant.
There are 8 counter seats inside the restaurant.
This time, we had the lunch course
13,310 yen including tax, 10% service charge

I can't forget the aroma when I bring the tempura to my mouth✨✨

This was also very delicious!
The grated daikon radish is very finely ground and has a very smooth texture.
You can also drink Akita sake 🍶
The owner's manners are also very beautiful and impressive.
I'd like to visit again when I go to Akita‼ ️
It was delicious.
Thank you for the meal‼ ️

お店の方達には

天麩羅もめちゃ美味しいのは
当たり前ですが、
何より
一品一品出してくれるタイミングが
絶妙です✨✨
秋田県産の食材を食べさせてくれます。
天麩羅を口に運ぶ時の香りが忘れられません✨✨
いい香りです♪
たっぷりの大根おろし、天つゆ、お塩
こちらもとても美味しかった！
大根おろしはきめ細かいので舌触りが
とても滑らかです。
そして秋田の日本酒も飲めます🍶
店主の所作もとても綺麗で印象的。
また秋田に行った際は伺いたいと思います‼️
美味しかった。
ご馳走さまでした‼️

Spring is especially great.
They serve lots of wild vegetables ♪♪♪
Only in Akita.
The chef is also very friendly, so you can enjoy your meal in comfort.
This is a restaurant you'll want to keep going to.

あの天ぷらの有名店のみかわ是山居で修行をされ、唯一の暖簾分けを許され、地元に戻りあきた天ぷらみかわを開業されたとのこと。
春の季節は特に最高です。
山菜をたーくさん出してくれます♪♪♪
秋田だからこその。
大将も非常に感じの良い方で気持ちよく食事をすることができます。
ここは通い続けたい店舗です。
(Translated by Google) I was very satisfied with both the taste and the service. There are inbound tourists too. Even during Japanese holidays.
My only complaint is that there is no need for seasoning lol.
I recommend eating it as is.
The ingredients are generally protein-rich, so salt and tempura sauce would actually overpower the flavor, so I think it's best to eat it as is.
This is just my personal opinion, so if you want to season it, that's fine.
You can also choose between a tendon or tencha, but either way the tempura will lose its crispiness, so I think it's better to have the tempura served separately.
(Original)
味、接客共に大満足です。インバウンドもあるんですね。日本の連休でも。
ちょっとだけ不満を言うと、味付けは必要ありません笑。
そのまま食べるのがオススメです。
全般的に食材はないタンパクなものが中心なので、塩、天つゆは逆にその味ななってしまうので、そのままがいいかと感じました。
これは個人の感想ですので、味付けしたいかたはしても全然構いません。
あと、天丼かてん茶を選べますが、どちらも天ぷらのサクサク感がなくなるので天ぷらを個別で出してもらうのがいいかなと感じました。
(Translated by Google) A very pleasant surprise tempura experience, my favorites are the shrimp wrapped in basil, conger eel, eggplant, and tempura rice. The chef is quite handsome, a bit like Ma Huateng, hahaha

Hot pot restaurant
Japanese restaurant
Mugendō is a centrally located restaurant in Akita that offers a variety of local dishes. The eclectic decor with Eastern European vibes adds to the dining experience. The restaurant is known for its kiritanpo nabe, which comes in various sizes depending on the number of participants. Visitors highly recommend trying the kiritanpo and Akita beef dishes. The Inaniwa Udon and Kiritanpo hotpot are also popular choices among diners.
Great place to try dishes that are famous in Akita. Inaniwa udon is particularly delicious. Good location as well due to the proximity to Akita Station.
Wei L — Google review
Good local Akita food restaurant, centrally located. Came here especially for the kiritanpo nabe, which was good and comes in various sizes depending on number of participants. Eclectic decor with some Eastern European vibes.
They offer reasonable price for set meals that features Akita Speciality dishes and ingredients. If in one meal you would like to savour all of Akita specials, this restaurant is a place to try.
I am very satisfied and the food is great. Not only me but also my spouse is very satisfied with this. My 1st time at Akita and this shop is unforgettable. Ignore bad reviews as they are ridiculous.
Okonomiyaki is too thick, the kiritanpo is tasteless but I am not sure because it’s-my first time trying the dished. Nevertheless, the matcha and vanilla ice cream dessert with houjicha bavarian cream is great!
I wanted to have local delicacies of Akita, Kiritampo nabe, a rice cake hotpot, and Hinai Jidori stew, a local chicken dish. They were together for 2200 yen. The soup of the hotspot was so delicious. I drank it all.
A restaurant where you can eat "Inaniwa Udon" near Akita Station. The thin but firm udon noodles are very delish. The oyakodon using Hinai Jidori chicken has a wonderful flavor and elasticity. A set menu that includes these two dishes is also recommended.
If you are looking for trying Inaniwa Udon, a specialty of Akita, this is the place! The udon were delicious and the service is fast! very nice experience for me!

黃致豪 — Google review
Located in 12 floor of Akita City View hotel, it deserves a different category for reviews. Yes, it is the hotel restaurant but it accepts reservations from outside too and many, specially foreigners, don't know where the place is.
Went with family for lunch. Ended up in a restaurant with view but w/ very common food, crowded and with 100 minutes to finish your lunch. It puts unnecessary pressure on guests. The food which includes yakisoba and recipes you can prepare with Cook-do is nothing special.
Special rates for seniors over 65. NO wifi. I think there are better places in Akita city. 4 people (including 2 seniors) ¥9,158
Very nice restaurant and friendly staff there! Besides, the dinner buffet has alot of local style food for you to enjoy!
Great and peaceful
(Translated by Google) A course is now available to enjoy local gourmet food to your heart's content right in front of Akita Station! So, I went with my parents.
Speaking of Akita, you think of Namahage, and Namahage means Oga, so this course is full of Oga gourmet food. In addition to seafood such as sandfish and yellowfin koi, you can also choose from mountain products, vegetables, and other ingredients produced in Oga. My favorite is shottsuru nabe. Yellowtail has a plump texture and shottsuru has a deep, nutritious taste. I feel like I've eaten it all. Inaniwa udon is the best way to cleanse your palate! Seasoned plum soup is also good. Another appeal is that you can enjoy plenty of Akita's local sake. Enjoy Oga sake when making a reservation! If you say so, they will prepare it for you. By the way, I ordered the popular rice and agave!

秋田駅前でご当地グルメを思う存分堪能するコースが誕生！ということで、両親といってきた。
秋田といえば、なまはげ、なまはげといえば男鹿ということで男鹿グルメ満載のコース。ハタハタ、ぶりこといった海の幸はもちろん、山の幸、野菜なども男鹿産をメインにコース仕立てでいただける。一押しはしょっつる鍋。ぶりこのぷりぷりっとした食感としょっつるの滋味深い味わい。食べつくしましたといった感じ。お口直しの稲庭うどんものどごし最高！お出汁もいい塩梅。秋田の地酒もたっぷりと味わえるのも魅力。予約時に、男鹿のお酒を！といえば用意してくれる。ちなみに、今、話題の稲とアガベをオーダーさせていただきました！
(Translated by Google) I stayed here with a plan that included one night and two meals.
It's been a long time since I've been to this buffet.
I'd heard rumors that the quality was steadily declining, but it was true.
I was surprised by the high price of alcohol, but the variety of food was limited, the quality of the food was not so good, and the salmon, which was the main dish, could not be ordered when I wanted it because there was no one to cut it. There was nothing else worth mentioning.
I was impressed in many ways that they could charge 4,180 yen for this.
I was so surprised that I didn't feel like taking photos...
The breakfast was decent and a little comforting, but considering that it was more expensive than the nearby hotels, it was a bit of a disappointment. I thought the variety and quality of the food were not so good.
Given that it's the ANA Crown Hotel, isn't this really appropriate?
It was very disappointing.

1泊2食付きのプランでお邪魔しました。
こちらのバイキングはホント久しぶり。
ウワサでどんどん質が下がっているとは聞いていたものの‥
それは本当でした。
アルコール類のお値段高さにも驚きでしたが、お料理の種類も少なく、料理の質もイマイチでメインだったサーモンも、切ってくれる人がいなくなり食べたい時にお願いできない。その他も特筆するものもなし。
よくこれで4,180円もお金取れるなぁといろんな意味で感心でした。
あまりにびっくりで写真を撮る気にもならず‥
朝食はまずまずで少しホッとしたものの、近辺のホテルよりお値段高いことを考えると、こちらも微妙です。品数、お料理の質がイマイチだと思いました。
ANAクラウンホテルという場所がら、これはあまりよろしくないのでは？
とっても残念でした。
(Translated by Google) We went with a reservation for 7pm on Sunday.
It was relatively empty towards the end of the day.
The restaurant is small, so the variety might not be that great, but the food was made with local ingredients and was delicious, so it was great.
I think there was a good selection of alcohol.
(Original)
日曜の19:00に予約で行きました。
後半は比較的空いてました。
規模が小さいので種類は豊富とは言えないかなと思いましたが地元のものを使った料理を食べられたし美味しかったので良かったです。
アルコールは十分豊富かと思います。
(Translated by Google) I arrived a little after 1:30pm. I enjoyed a variety of dishes, including chirashi sushi, stir-fried liver and leek, ginger pork, Genghis Khan, curry, and pizza! The desserts were also cute and delicious.
It may be unavoidable since lunchtime ends at 3pm, but I was sad that the dishes that had been emptied were no longer replenished.
I'd like to visit during dinner time next time.

13時30分過ぎに来店しました。ちらし寿司やレバニラ炒め、生姜焼きやジンギスカン、カレーにピザなど色々な料理を楽しみました！デザートも可愛くて美味しかったです。
15時までのランチタイムなので仕方ないのかもしれないのですが、空になったお料理の補充がされなくなったのが悲しかった。
次回はディナータイムに来店したいです。
