Hi, I’m Tabi!

Meet Noshiro through the coastal shelter forest of Kaze no Matsubara and the timber architecture of former restaurant Kaneyu. Check transport between the two separately. Photographs from June 2017 and June 2020 do not show current weather or access conditions.

This guide covers places within Noshiro, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

A first-visit stop

Kaze no Matsubara

風の松原

This coastal forest was cultivated to protect the town from windblown sand. Its June 2017 photograph is not a recommendation to visit at dawn. Check current bear sightings and trail restrictions before visiting, and use open paths in daylight.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

A first-visit stop

Former Restaurant Kaneyu

旧料亭金勇

This visitor facility preserves the timber architecture of a former ryotei restaurant, using Akita cedar. The photograph shows its exterior in June 2020. The operator distinguishes ordinary visits from room hire and arranged meals requiring reservations; do not assume these are included in admission.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Kiritanpo hot pot is an Akita regional food also served in Noshiro. The city’s food guide introduces it as an Akita specialty. Treat it as a shared regional tradition and check serving restaurants, ingredients and opening days in advance.
