Kakunodate Samurai Town Exploration

“I came to Kakunodate, Akita, because I heard the townscape was beautiful. I explored the samurai residences, found a cute souvenir shop, enjoyed a delicious meal recommended by Himura-san, and ended my trip with a prayer at the shrine. It was a perfect day of walking and discovery.”

A beautifully preserved historic district in Kakunodate, Akita, known for its traditional samurai houses and streets. It's a very quiet area, perfect for a peaceful stroll. The area is especially beautiful in autumn when the leaves change color. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the station.
Kakunodate Historical Village – Aoyagi Residence, ３ Kakunodatemachi Omotemachishimocho, Semboku, Akita 014-0331, Japan
- Historic streetscape — The main street of the samurai residences, lined with traditional homes and lush greenery. It's a very quiet and peaceful place to walk, especially when there are few people around.
- Aoyagi House exhibits — Inside one of the prominent samurai residences, Aoyagi House, you can find various historical exhibits. I was particularly fascinated by the old medical texts and the heavy 'matoi' (fire standard) used by firefighters. It's incredible that you can even lift the matoi!

A charming souvenir shop located within the Kakunodate Samurai Residences area. They offer a variety of local goods and unique items, including traditional crafts and food products. I found some really cute items here!

- Kiritanpo Gacha-gacha — A fun gacha-gacha machine offering Akita-themed charms, including kiritanpo. I was so happy to get the kiritanpo charm! It's a great little souvenir.

A traditional tea house and restaurant located near the samurai residences, highly recommended by Himura-san of Banana Man. It's a very calm and relaxing place to enjoy local Akita cuisine. The staff are very kind and welcoming.
Bukeyashiki no chaya, 14-1 Kakunodatemachi Omotemachishimocho, Semboku, Akita 014-0331, Japan
- Miso Kiritanpo · ¥300-500 (estimated) — My first time trying kiritanpo, and it was incredibly delicious! It's a local specialty, a grilled rice stick, served with miso. It's warm and comforting.
- Oden Daikon · ¥150-300 (estimated) — A classic oden dish, the daikon radish, which is my favorite oden ingredient. It's warm and delicious, especially with a touch of karashi (mustard). The karashi adds a nice kick!
- Chikara Konnyaku · ¥150-300 (estimated) — A konnyaku dish served with a very spicy karashi (mustard). Be careful with the mustard, it's quite potent, but it adds a great flavor!

Praying for a hit single
afternoon
I came to Shinmei-sha Shrine to offer prayers for the success of Nogizaka46's 37th single, 'Hodokyo,' which is set to be released on December 11th. It's the last single of the year, so I really hope it's a hit! Climbing the stairs to the shrine always reminds me of praying for a hit with Kakki. After praying, I felt a sense of clarity and peace.

A peaceful shrine located a short walk from the samurai residences. It's a great place to offer prayers and receive a goshuin (calligraphic stamp). I came here to pray for the success of Nogizaka46's 37th single.
Shinmeisha Shrine, Iwase-117 Kakunodatemachi, Semboku, Akita 014-0300, Japan
Goshuin — You can receive a beautiful goshuin (calligraphic stamp) at Shinmei-sha Shrine, including a special October-limited one. It's a wonderful way to commemorate your visit and a perfect end to the trip.
