    Kakunodate , Akita , Lake Tara , local food tour

    Natasha_B, Aug 2024
    Tomio our guide is a kind , and intelligent person who shared his local knowledge and history about Kakunodate, and Akita area . We did a private tour with him and went to the Samurai district and had delicious local delicacies and drove to Lake Tawa and several Shinto shrines . I highly recommend him as a guide . We would not have easily found any of these on our own and he made it fun and effortless .

    Thank you so much NatashA to use me as a guide in Akita. I hope you will enjoy Japan in the future again.

    Great tour, would definitely recommend to other visitors looking to get some of the highlights of the town.

    My tour guide was knowledgeable and patient as he led me around the Samuri Street area, answering questions I asked about the exhibits but allowing me to set the pace. Afterwards , we got lunch at his recommended location and then headed out to view a few locations around a lake and some stores that were along the way. I doubt I would have ever stopped at the stores had I been driving though this area myself, so I appreciate the little things he was able to show me like that. Overall it was an excellent experience and I’m glad to have done it.

    A Trip to the past

    A beautiful hidden pocket of a past era, lucky enough to survive the bombings of WWII. Tomio is a delightful guide, and steered us towards the best details. Be sure to have some udon noodles at the cafe!
