Right after exiting the ticket gates at Akita Station, there’s a big Namahage photo spot with red and blue ogre masks, plus an Akita dog photo spot.
At the soba restaurant in the station building, you can also try soba with Akita’s local specialty, the sticky seaweed gibasa. It’s healthy and recommended.
After a long busy day, I was originally just looking for some late-night robatayaki in Akita.
But I unexpectedly found a Michelin Bib Gourmand-type popular spot right by the station (I noticed the award inside the restaurant).
Even better, you can pick your fish directly from the day’s catch, though some had already sold out by then.
I went in just wanting to check it out, but every dish was delicious.
It was such an unexpected little highlight of the trip!
