Akita has an abundance of sights to see. You’ll obviously want to tick off the big-name attractions, but you also won’t want to miss the surrounding bays that Japan is known for. We recommend renting something that’ll take you from city jaunts to longer road trips, like a standard vehicle. Collect your ride from Akita Airport (AXT), travel the 7 miles to the downtown area, and explore away. When you’ve finished, escape the center and spend some time in the great outdoors. Just remember to send us some postcards along the way.
