Best Nature around Tohoku Spot List

A vast park crafted on the site of Takada Castle. Known as a great viewing spot for cherry blossoms, the park is embellished with about 4,000 cherry trees in April.

The remains of the castle of the Satake Clan, evocative of the Edo Period (1603–1868) when feudal lords ruled the land. There is also a spot where you can play with an Akita dog.

A 27-km road that stretches from the foot to the summit of Mt. Hachiman. It is famous for the snow-walled corridor that appears in spring.

One of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan. The Tenshu, which is of Edo-style architecture and the only existing Tenshu in Tohoku, is worth a look.

A beautiful lake and the deepest in Japan, with unrivalled clarity. There is a statue of the legendary maiden Tatsuko standing in the lake.
