Dakigaeri Valley is truly beautiful. Walking slowly along the trail, you're surrounded by greenery and clear streams the entire way. It's worth visiting in any season. The trail is easy and not tiring, and the air is very fresh, making you want to slow down.

Lake Tazawa
Lake Tazawa is the deepest lake in Japan at 423.4m deep. The lake, with its breathtakingly beautiful cobalt blue surface, is a scenic spot in Akita Prefecture, selected as one of the 100 most scenic spots in Japan. In 2022, the moon rising over Lake Tazawa will be recognized as one of Japan's 100 Most Beautiful Moons, adding even more charm to the lake.
The water of Lake Tazawa is clear and beautiful, with the deep blue surface reflecting like a mirror and mountains surrounding it. Taking your time around the lakeshore to see the Statue of Tatsuko and the natural scenery is very relaxing. It's a place worth lingering to experience the charm of Akita.

Oirase Stream
Oirase Stream, a renowned tourist attraction awarded two stars in the Michelin Green Guide, stretches approximately 14 kilometers from the shores of Lake Towada at Nenokuchi to Yakeyama. It's a national Special Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument, celebrated for its waterfalls, clear streams, giant rocks, and steep cliffs.
Oirase Stream is beautiful even without the fall foliage. It's a great place to escape the summer heat, with beautiful scenery all along the walking trail. It's well worth a visit, and the air here feels especially fresh. It's definitely a wonderful spot in Tohoku that shouldn't be missed.

Kyushu Natural Animal Park African Safari
The African Safari is the largest safari park in Japan where around 1400 animals of 70 species roam freely in its enormous area. The park is divided into two zones; the “Animal Zone” with its 6km safari road where visitors can get close to the animals from the “jungle bus” and the “Interacting Zone” where visitors can actually touch the animals.
Be sure to get there early to line up for the jungle bus! The large animals roam freely outdoors, and the jungle bus lets you see them up close and even feed them. It's a very special experience! The bus driver gave a very cheerful commentary along the way, and the kids had a great time.
