Akita City Red Brick Folk Museum

#asiabudgetchallenge Nestled in Akita City’s historic Omachi district, the Akarenga-kan Museum (Akita City Red Brick Folk Museum) offers an elegant journey back to Meiji-era grandeur. Housed in the former 1912 Akita Bank headquarters, its Renaissance façade and Baroque‑style marble interior evoke refined beauty and civic pride. Inside, explore exhibits on Akita’s folk crafts, a memorial hall to printmaker Tokushi Katsuhira, and the living‑treasure metalsmith Shiro Sekiya’s work . Admission is ¥310 for adults, free for high‑schoolers and younger. Joint‑ticket combos are available around ¥370. Travel Tip: Arrive early to enjoy soft morning light through tall windows. Don’t miss the preserved original vault and grand banking hall — perfect for architectural photos and peaceful reflection.
