[2025 Semboku Attraction] Travel Guide for Lake Tazawa (Updated Mar)

Akita, located about 450 km north of Tokyo on the Sea of ​​Japan It is the sixth largest prefecture in Japan, with forests all over the territory and rich natural resources. The unique and excellent terroir has produced high-quality agricultural products, with rice production ranking first in the Tohoku region and sold well throughout Japan. In addition to the abundant agricultural products that make the locals proud, when talking about Akita, many people may also think of the cute-looking "Akita Dog". As the name suggests, the Akita Inu comes from Akita. It is a mountain hunting dog called "Akita Mataki" (pronounced: matagi) (winter hunter), which was bred with local dogs in the Akita area during the 16th century. It was originally provided as a reward for the purpose of boosting the morale of the samurai. Because they were originally distributed in the Odate area in northern Akita, they are called "Odate Dogs". I was lucky enough to meet a super cute Akita dog on the last morning of my trip to Akita. #GlobalTravel

#2024Travel Review Lake Tazawa, a well-known natural attraction in Akita Prefecture, Japan, is not as big as Lake Towada, but it is the deepest lake in Japan with a water depth of 423.4 meters. The lake surface changes with the light and shadow, sometimes green and sometimes blue. It is quite beautiful and very suitable for therapy. The more short it becomes. Driving from Morioka to Tazawa Lake, the journey is not far and the scenery along the way is beautiful. There is less development around Tazawa Lake and it is more natural. People often ride bicycles around the lake, or float on the water with a stand-up paddle. Either way is a good choice to experience Tazawa Lake. In addition to being a power spot of nature, Lake Tazawa also has a driftwood shrine that prays for love and a statue of Tatsuko in the lake. There is also a poignant love story behind it, which adds a bit of fantasy to Lake Tazawa. #日本 Northeast Free Travel #Northeast Maple Viewing #Tazawa Lake

After about 10 minutes, we arrived at the second attraction, Gozano Stone. The driver will also tell you the boarding time when you get off the bus. This stop only has 10 minutes, so fast! This station is mainly about the Gozaishi Shrine. After getting off the bus, walk forward and you will see the torii gate. But this road is really beautiful. I couldn’t help but stop and take a photo. And of course you have to take a picture of the most important Gozaishi Shrine here, the torii gate. The red torii gate, the blue sky and the wild scenery. The whole scene is so touching that it’s unreal. This unique tree is right next to the torii gate There is only one tree trunk but there are actually 7 kinds of plants growing on it. It’s super cool. I believe you can see something special even more in spring and summer.

There are several ways to get to Tazawako by public transportation, and we chose the most convenient Shinkansen. Take the red Akita Shinkansen and you can directly transfer to the Tazawako Lake Tour Bus at the station. The platform at Tazawako Station is even more sunny. It doesn't look like a Shinkansen platform at all. The whole expanse of white snow is really beautiful! It actually takes about 10 minutes to get there from Kakunodate Station. I suggest you come back from a far distance. You can even see the sunset if you plan to go to Tazawako in the afternoon. There are also many tourist information available here. If you need tourist information, you can get a lot of information here!

This is somewhere near Lake Tazawa, Semboku, Akita Prefecture. Sorry, I don’t know the exact location as this was a random stop along the drive around Lake Tazawa. >.< The sunflowers are so pretty! You can see the view of the lake and mountains in the background too! It was my first time seeing real sunflowers! Who would’ve known that there is a random sunflower plantation along the roadside? #akita #japan
