Hachiman Akita Shrine

#asiabudgetchallenge Hachiman Akita Shrine, nestled within Senshū Park on the former Kubota Castle grounds in Akita City, venerates the Satake clan lords including Yoshinobu. Dating back to 1262 and reconstructed in 2008 after a fire, its tranquil red torii gate-lined path and graceful honden invite reflection. Rough Budget: – Admission: Free – Transport: ~¥800 (10–12 minute walk from JR Akita Station) Travel Tip: Try drawing the famous dove‑shaped omikuji (fortune slip) at the shrine’s gift booth—it folds into a charming bird shape and makes a lovely keepsake.
