Semboku City in Akita Prefecture is appealing for its rich nature and historical scenery. Lake Tazawa, the deepest lake in Japan, is characterized by its mystical lapis lazuli water, and the legendary statue of Tatsuko stands on its shore. Furthermore, the secluded Nyuto Onsen Village deep in the mountains is known as a hidden hot spring area, with seven inns scattered throughout. The Kakunodate Samurai Residence Street, known as the “Little Kyoto of Michinoku,” is a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and is especially exceptional in the spring when the weeping cherry trees are in full bloom. The city also features Dakigaeri Keikoku Gorge, a famous spot for fresh green leaves and autumn colors, making Semboku an area where you can enjoy history, nature, and hot springs all at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
