Tourism Center: Station-front Storehouse
A traditional-style storehouse, located in front of Kakunodate Station, has become Kakunodate’s Tourism Center. Just look for the white-walled building on your right as you leave the station. Here you can find walking maps to the Samurai District, guides to various places to dine, and information about local hotels and inns. In addition, along with tourist pamphlets and maps, a video highlighting the tourist sites of Akita is always playing.

The Center is open to the public for free and also offers places to sit and rest, so feel free to stop by if you’re waiting for the next bus or train, as well.
