Akita Akarenga Kyodokan

Reviewed By stellastarstruck - Tsuruoka, Japan

We found the Red Brick Building fairly easily, parked and went in. The parking was free and there were a few stalls available. We bought a joint ticket for this building and the City Folklore and Performing Art Center and it was a good deal! I used to work in a bank, so it was interesting to me to see the gorgeous building and to read about how the building was made. I also really enjoyed the exhibits of the work of local artists and crafts. The museum was fairly quiet, even on a national holiday so was a good place to visit for two adults to visit. We enjoyed it a lot.

Akita city Minzoku Geinou Densho-kan

Reviewed By HotEarth - Melbourne, Australia

I was indeed surprised by the displays inside this place. There were quite some Kantos of different sizes for visitors to try out with! Additionally there are some exhibits about some overseas Kanto performances during some cultural exchange events. This is definitely a good place to visit if you missed the Kanto Festival, which usuall runs in early August.
