We’ve planned a special bus trip for those want to get out from the campus, get relief from stress, or just take a dip into a hot spring. It would also be a great opportunity for both exchange and full-time students to make new friends and learn about Akita!
And we are proud to present, our first bus trip of this semester,
Enjoy the Foods and Flavors of autumn in Akita! ~Let’s go to Inaniwa~
We will visit Misato Town and Yuzawa City, which are located in the southern part of Akita.
Our first destination is “Meisui-an” in Misato Town. The town is famous for its water, which is selected as“Top 100 exquisite and well-conserved waters “. They sell a soda using the town’s fine water, called “Niteko Soda”.
Next, we will visit “Sato Yosuke Sohonten” for lunch and activity. You can experience each process of making Akita's famous Inaniwa udon noodle. (We will divide participants into two groups; A group which will have lunch first and then try udon making activity, and a group which will first do the activity before lunch.)
After the lunch, we'll take you on a precarious walk at kawarage-Jigoku, which literally means Kawarage Hell! It is one of the three spiritual places in Japan, and a scenery of bare hillsides and huge clouds of smoke will remind you of the desolate landscape of the underworld. Don’t worry, you’ll be safe and sound.
Last but not least, we'll wrap up our bus trip with Doroyu hot spring! You can try several different natural hot springs and have a relaxing time there.
