Towada Art Center

Reviewed By jerryl908

We loved this little modern art museum. Unlike most of the modern art museums, where I couldn't understand or relate to most of the art work. The art work at the Towada Art Center was more relatable. It's a great place to stay a few hours on your way to the Oirase Keiryu.

Tachineputa No Yakata

Reviewed By nanamc - Adelaide, Australia

The Tachi-Neputa House is a museum that displays parade floats featured in the city's Neputa summer festival. These huge floats are 23 metres high and made of wire and rice paper. The workmanship of these floats is simply amazing and the museum's set up allows visitors to walk around to see the floats from all angles along the 3 floors. Well worth a visit!

This is one of the nicer gardens I've seen in Japan. It is located near the Hirosaki park and city museum. See if possible; it will be a surprise, fall or spring.

Because of the lack of snow, ski resorts were slow to open. But we were glad we came here. The highlight was the four huge stage backdrops painted by Chagall for the ballet “Aleko”.

Nakamachi Komise Street

Reviewed By iamkozue - Akita, Japan

Chosen as one of the 100 Streets of Japan (Nihon no Michi 100 sen), this small pocket of town takes you on a time traveling adventure! The street has connecting roofs in front (arcaded sidewalks) to protect the pedestrians in the heavy winter snow. There are small craft shops and restaurants as well as a sake brewery. There's an open (free) rest area for you called Matsu no Yu, which used to be a communal bathing facility and now has been renovated to be a food area and exhibition space. Very nice!
