Founded in 1620, Kakunodate has remained largely unchanged since, making it the perfect place to learn about samurai tradition. This town consists of 2 areas: the samurai district and the merchant district. The samurai district was home to 80 families and the houses can still be seen today. Six of these homes are open to the public, where visitors can see how the middle and upper-class samurai lived. If you do not have time to visit them all, the Aoyagi house and the Ishiguro house are considered must-visits.

The Aoyagi house is large in comparison to others, with several buildings including gift stores and restaurants. Today, it serves as a museum displaying relics of the past. Visitors can relax and have a meal here and search for samurai-related souvenirs at the gift shop. The Ishiguro House is smaller, but still has many things to offer. Samurai armor, clothing, and drawings are displayed in certain areas for viewing.

角馆建于 1620 年，至今基本未变，是了解武士传统的最佳地点。这座城镇由两个区域组成：武士区和商人区。武士区曾居住着 80 户人家，至今仍可看到这些房屋。其中六座住宅向公众开放，游客可以在这里看到中上层武士的生活方式。如果没有时间一一参观，青柳家和石黑家是必游之地。

与其他建筑相比，青柳家规模宏大，拥有礼品店和餐厅等多栋建筑。如今，这里已成为展示过去遗迹的博物馆。游客可以在这里休息、用餐，还可以在礼品店寻找与武士有关的纪念品。石黑屋的规模较小，但仍有许多值得一看的东西。某些区域展示了武士盔甲、服装和图画，供游客观赏。

Kakunodate Samurai District

Akita Prefecture, the birthplace of the Japanese dog breed of the same name, has a distinct cuisine comprised of hearty comfort foods, from Kiritanpo (grilled rice skewers) to dishes made with their local Hinai Jidori chicken, such as Oyakodon. Bear and horse stews are also available for the adventurous eaters, though the classic Akita hot pot dish is, without a doubt, Kiritanpo Nabe. Due to the low fermentation temperature of Akita’s freezing winters, Akita sake is also renowned for its gentle flavor and drinkability.

 Akita is the perfect winter retreat for those who crave a white Christmas, as it is one of the snowiest prefectures. Lovers of winter sports can blaze trails through the snow at local ski resorts, while those who’d like a more relaxing vacation can bathe in the relaxing onsen hot spring. Visiting the Odate Candy Festival, held every February, might seem like a surefire way to throw a wrench in your healthy-eating New Year’s resolution, but legend has it that if you buy candy from one of the stalls here, you’ll be immune to the common cold for the rest of winter. Meanwhile, the Yokote Kamakura Festival, also held in February, features igloos where visitors can warm up with foods such as hot pot and <a href="https://www.byfood.com/blog/travel-tips/the-beginners-guide-to-mochi">mochi</a>. 

 While Akita is a gorgeous winter wonderland, it is also a stunning springtime retreat. As spring approaches, the weeping cherry blossom trees of Kakunodate will bloom, showering the landscape in pink petals. Lake Tazawa, Japan’s deepest lake, is another awe-inspiring spot surrounded by snow-capped mountains and featuring the magnificent red torii gate of Goza no Ishi Shrine, dedicated to the lake’s dragon guardian. And, with geometric modern architecture featuring clean lines, the Akita Museum of Art will satisfy the aesthetes’ desire to gaze upon the incredible works of man.

秋田县是日本同名犬种的发源地，这里的美食独具特色，从 Kiritanpo（烤饭串）到用当地的日内鸡（Hinai Jidori chicken）制作的菜肴（如 Oyakodon），应有尽有。虽然秋田的经典火锅毫无疑问是 "Kiritanpo Nabe"，但对于喜欢冒险的食客来说，这里也有炖熊和炖马的菜肴。秋田的冬季严寒，发酵温度较低，因此秋田酒也以口感柔和、适于饮用而闻名。

秋田县是雪最多的县之一，是渴望过白色圣诞节的人们的理想冬季度假胜地。喜欢冬季运动的游客可以在当地滑雪胜地的雪地上尽情挥洒汗水，而想享受更悠闲假期的游客则可以泡温泉放松身心。每年二月举办的大馆糖果节可能会让您的新年健康饮食计划功亏一篑，但传说如果您在这里的糖果摊上买了糖果，您就会在整个冬天都不会患上普通感冒。同时，横手镰仓节也在二月举行，游客可以在冰屋中品尝火锅和<a href="https://www.byfood.com/blog/travel-tips/the-beginners-guide-to-mochi">麻糬</a>等食物取暖。 

秋田不仅是绚丽的冬季仙境，也是迷人的春季度假胜地。随着春天的到来，角馆的垂枝樱也将盛开，粉红色的花瓣洒满大地。田泽湖是日本最深的湖泊，也是另一处令人惊叹的景点，湖边雪山环绕，还有供奉湖中神龙守护神的御座之石神社的宏伟红色鸟居。此外，秋田县立美术馆（Akita Museum of Art）以线条简洁的几何形现代建筑风格为特色，可以满足审美者欣赏人类不可思议作品的愿望。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration.

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
