Hi, I’m Tabi!

Akita city in Akita Prefecture offers a first-visit base around Akita Station. Distinguish the city from the entire prefecture. Start with the park or local museum and check the current route from the station and return trains.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
