Chiba Park is a beautiful park in Akita City. The character "Aki" in its name refers to "Akita," while "Chiba" conveys the meaning of a thousand years of longevity, and many Japanese families also like to name their daughters "Chihiro" after this auspicious meaning. Chiba Park has a history of over 100 years. The park has a pleasant environment and is lush with greenery, where visitors can see pigeons and crows. The park is at its most beautiful during spring and summer. It is home to 830 cherry trees, including Yoshino cherry trees that are 110 years old. During the spring cherry blossom festival, the trees are illuminated at night, creating a dreamlike beauty. In summer, water lilies bloom in Chiba Park, showcasing their charming allure.

The city lord’s long-cherished wish is to live forever, so it is named Qianqiu Park. It is a beautiful place with cherry blossoms in spring, green in summer, fire in autumn, and silver in winter! The city ruins are surrounded by a moat with many lotuses planted. In summer, wild duck families live here!

The art museum in downtown Akita is worth a visit. ♥️15 minutes walk from JR Akita Station. It is recommended to walk through the skywalk of the station, walk through the shopping street, and go directly to the art museum. ♥️5-10 minutes walk from Senshu Park. ♥️Designed by Tadao Ando, ​​the building is simple but innovative. ♥️There is a piano in the square, you can play at will. ♥️Before September 29, 2024, it is a goldfish exhibition, which is very innovative.

One of the three major festivals in Tohoku, the Kanto Festival It is one of the most important summer festivals in the area Among the locals, there are more than just adults. Children will also hold up super-tall "kanto" made of bamboo and lanterns. Elementary school students in grades 5 and 6 can lift more than 10 kilograms, and middle school students can lift more than 20 kilograms. Adults can even weigh more than 30 kilograms I really can't imagine this hard work. This museum fully explains the history of the festival And there are actually many different sized chandeliers to view I also saw someone actually performing a performance of raising a lantern, which was really impressive. It is recommended that everyone who is interested in Japanese festivals come to visit
