Kanpuzan for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Continue to the Namahage Museum to discover the unique traditions and culture of Oga’s famous Namahage. Stop at Roadside Station Oga Ogare for local products and food, then visit Unosaki Beach, known for its scenic coastline and shallow waters. If time permits, stop at Port Tower Selion for views over Akita before returning to the port. The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English. Return to Akita Port in time for your ship’s departure.
