They offer afternoon tea and all kinds of Kitaro-themed souvenirs. Definitely a must-visit after checking out Jindaiji!

Pocky Chocolate
Pocky was created in 1966 as the world’s first rod-shaped chocolate sweet. It is a rod-shaped pretzel snack covered in a chocolate coating, and it has a very pleasant texture. The combination of that delicious flavor with a way to keep your hands clean after snacking made them into a huge hit.
I always buy the family-size pack.

National Important Cultural Asset Ochaya SHIMA
The tea house, built in 1820, is located on the Higashi Chaya-Gai District and is open to the public in its original state.
Enjoying matcha and sweets while gazing at the garden was such a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Gono Line
The JR Gono Line is a 147-km-long local train line running from Higashi-Noshiro Station in Akita Prefecture to Kawabe Station in Aomori Prefecture. The line runs along the coast of the Sea of Japan, and passengers can enjoy the spectacular scenery that the Tohoku region is known for.
The private compartment seats are awesome! They’re usually sofas, but you can flatten them out like tatami mats. There was a live shamisen performance in the car, plus unbeatable ocean views along the way.
