Hi, I’m Tabi!

Daisen is an inland Akita city with historic gardens and archaeological remains, distinct from Daisen Town in Tottori. Use Omagari Station as a starting point and check onward transport and garden opening dates.

Explore the Ikeda garden and a site shared by Daisen and Misato, rather than places necessarily beside an app check-in.
