Kimimachi-zaka is a Prefectural Natural Park located in Futatsui Town, Noshiro City, in the northern part of Akita Prefecture. The cherry blossoms in spring and the autumn foliage are especially worth seeing, and the park is crowded with visitors during the season. Because a romantic episode involving the Meiji Emperor and Empress, who once visited this location, remains here, the area is also popular as a "power spot for love."
