Half Day Tour to Akita, Samurai Town with Lisenced Guide

Premiere Half-Day Tour of Akita. In this tour, you can see how samurais lived in samurai residences. At one Samurai house, the head of the family or a staff member will tell us about the residence, where it is still used for living. (This house is open to the public until November 2026) At next samurai house, you can witness samurai swords, armor, kimonos, etc. You can take a nice photo wearing samurai helmets. There are cute shops in the street, such as a miso and soy sauce shop, a local craft shop, a Japanese sake shop, and a traditional snack shop. At Japanese Sake shop, you can try tasting of a couple of Japanese sake for free.
