| Akita Prefecture is located in
the Tohoku region in northern Japan. The climate in Akita Prefecture
is characterized by short summers and long winters. In fact,
central Akita Prefecture has some of the highest snowfalls
in all of Japan. Akita Prefecture is full of natural beauty,
and includes many popular tourist attractions. Lake Tazawako
is a crater lake located in eastern Akita Prefecture, and it
is the deepest lake in Japan. Kakunodate is an old castle town
also in the eastern part of the prefecture and it is full of
well-preserved samurai houses. Lake Towada is another crater
lake and with its many waterfalls and rapids it is one of the
most popular tourist spots in the Tohoku region. The Hachimantal
Plateau is located south of Lake Towada and it is known for
its hot springs, mountain climbing, skiing, and snowboarding.
The Ogahanto Peninsula in western Akita Prefecture sticks out
into the Sea of Japan and has a beautiful, rugged coastline.
In 1993, the Shirakami-Sanchi mountain range, which spreads
over Aomri and Akita Prefectures, was declared a World Natural
Heritage Site and contains one of the world's largest beech
forests. |
