                              	Akita is the largest city in the prefecture, and as such is the hub for transportation, sports, and shopping. Its longitude is about the middle of the prefecture, and so is reachable from both the north and south.

Akita is also famous for it's 秋田美人 or Akita Bijin. The women of Akita are known around Japan for their pale skin and round faces.                              	                              		ClimateIn Akita, late June to late July is the rainy season. The spring and summer before and after that tend to have fairly moderate amounts of rain, and are good for outdoor activities. In November, it is common for some cold weather thunder storms to occur -- this is said to mark the end of fall and the beginning of hatahata (a local fish) season. In the winter, Akita sees some snow, though certainly inland areas get more.

                              	                              	                              		By planeAkita has an airport, with domestic flights coming in from such places as [wiki=62413a57c5e3dc51177995fa175d3286]Tokyo[/wiki], [wiki=10b22625bf8918f4fd3ae2f185bd44c8]Nagoya[/wiki], [wiki=0d70a380fe641d8206c6d43c185b9c23]Osaka[/wiki] and [wiki=e9d6eb12ff84740501a444198e2675c2]Sapporo[/wiki]. Buses connect the airport with Akita Station (秋田駅) -- a ride costs ¥980 and takes 40 minutes.
By trainAkita Shinkansen service from Tokyo to Akita resumed on April 29, but trains have to slow down around areas where repairs are being made. Allow an extra hour or so if traveling between these two cities.}}

The Akita Shinkansen provides hourly service from Tokyo station to Akita station. These trains, called the Komachi (こまち) trains, have only reserved seating. The Komachi stops at Ueno, Omiya, [wiki=1901cfca6be19dc8269bc64b25ad23ea]Sendai[/wiki], [wiki=0c866a9c44dacfdedcd9e083e0f6ee80]Morioka[/wiki] before slowing down to travel to Shizukuishi, Tazawako, [wiki=3270432572c82b6c1fa04f8729f60e6b]Kakunodate[/wiki], Omagari, and finally Akita over conventional rail lines. Trains also reverse direction once at Omagari, the stop before Akita. Komachi trains from Tokyo reach Akita in four hours and cost ¥16,800 each way. Beware that the Komachi trains are coupled to [wiki=157e0bc725227811a9a89993dab2be42]Aomori[/wiki]-bound Hayate trains, which split at Morioka, but as all seats are reserved the chance of getting in the wrong car is minimal at best. For foreign tourists traveling from Tokyo, the better deal is to purchase a JR East Rail Pass or the national Japan Rail Pass.

The Akebono overnight sleeper train from Tokyo's [wiki=f9e2255868a544be866551034bb821df]Ueno[/wiki] station, and the Nihonkai from [wiki=0d70a380fe641d8206c6d43c185b9c23]Osaka[/wiki] and [wiki=492379b2b8f7ac3f7cc8e0ca6254f4b1]Kyoto[/wiki], stop in Akita before terminating in [wiki=157e0bc725227811a9a89993dab2be42]Aomori[/wiki].

Both of those towns are relatively close to [wiki=e9d6eb12ff84740501a444198e2675c2]Sapporo[/wiki]. To the south the ferries go to [wiki=2973c7fc35d4ded7274a2188b8898532]Niigata[/wiki], and also to [wiki=fa143ad1de650bf56f99cd62da21077e]Tsuruga[/wiki] and [wiki=38e204a8aba16310734205aa779c494e]Maizuru[/wiki] (which are roughly near [wiki=492379b2b8f7ac3f7cc8e0ca6254f4b1]Kyoto[/wiki]). Reservations can be made in English by email. For Golden Week and busy times, ferries fill up weeks or months in advance.

filter_dramaGet around

                              	You can get around by bus, taxi, car, or bike. Many bus routes start in front of Akita Station. In the winter, there can be snow and ice, so drivers should decrease their speed.

You can walk around much of the main sites from the train station weather permitting. The train station also rents out bicycles for free through the tourist information office.

Apart from the Kurosawa house all of these sites are well within walking distance of each other. It may be purchased from the participating musuems.

* Senshū Park is a beautiful place to take a walk, especially during the spring season when the [wiki=480cc3700bb48be680de9c466c7a89e0]cherry blossoms[/wiki] are blooming. The park hosts a replica of Akita Castle, the original having been constructed in 733 AD.

filter_dramaEat

                              	The most well-known Akita dish is kiritanpo. Kiritanpo is essentially a tube made of rice, generally formed around a disposable chopstick. It is often roasted, sometimes after being smothered in miso paste.

filter_dramaDrink

                              	As one of Japan's most famous rice-growing regions, Akita has some of the best local sake in all of Japan. A great place to find many different bottles for sale (and usually free samples) is in the Prefectural Goods Shop in the basement of the Atorion Concert Hall.                              	                              
filter_dramaSleep

                              	Akita seems to be not very popular for budget travellers and is quite lacking in budget accommodation in any convenient location. Some travelers sleep in their cars, and if you can find a quiet area, this is typically not a problem. However, if you drink in the evening and sleep in your car, it is a good to use a personal breathalyzer before driving the next morning as even a small amount of alcohol in your system makes driving illegal, and the police are known to watch for people who have slept in their cars.

*This hotel is located a good 20 minutes away from the station and many attractions. It has a variety of rooms ranging from the 2x1.5m casual rooms with open ceilings and paper thin walls to private rooms for up to 4 people. The onsen is quite nice and large and there is a nice communal rest place as well. Sleeping in the casual rooms is a lot like sharing a large dormitory with 30+ people. 

*A nice business hotel in central Akita City.

*A very well located hotel right next to the station. You get what you pay for.
