1. Iwami Ginzan Silver MineOda The Iwami Ginzan was an underground silver mine in the city of Ōda, in Shimane Prefecture on the main island of Honshu, Japan. It was the largest silver mine in Japanese history. It was active for almost four hundred years, from its discovery in 1526 to its closing in 1923. The mines, mining structures, and surrounding cultural landscape — listed as the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape — became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

Japan Off The Beaten Path: Autumn In Akita Prefecture | Japan Travel Guide
Japan Off The Beaten Path is a new series on my channel, where I show you more of the unknown areas/prefectures in Japan and encourage you to travel and visit areas other than the common places such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
In this first episode, we visit and explore around Akita Prefecture in the Tohoku region of northern Honshu, the main island of Japan.
I came here during Autumn(end of October), which is the perfect time to come to see the autumn foliage!
ITINERARY More info:
Things to DO -Akita Nairiku Line -Odate Hachiko Statue -Nanataki Waterfall -Lake Towada ・Hakka Lookout ・Blue Marine Cafe Boat Rental -Okuoku Hachikurou Onsen -Korakukan Theater
Things to EAT -Hokushu Club (Kiritampo-nabe stew) Signature dish in Akita -Tonkatsu Kuritai (Katsu-curry-ramen) Only found in Kosaka(town in Akita) -Hinai Ya (ate Hinai Jidori chicken Oyakodon) Many things in Odate use the famous hinai free range chicken so make sure to try it out. -Hanazen (Tori-meshi Bento)
Check out more of Akita here:
As for transportation, it takes 4 hours to get from Tokyo station to Akita station via the Akita Komachi Bullet Train. It costs around ¥17,000($160 USD) however if you have the JR pass you just have to pay the small fee of the reserved seat on the Shinkansen(all seats are reserved).
Or if you are going up to Hokkaido or coming back down from Hokkaido, you can change at the Shin-Aomori station and take the local JR train down to Odate station.
Going back to Tokyo from Shin-Aomori station is also possible by taking the Hayabusa bullet train. (Around ¥17,000)
Even though Akita is in Japan, each prefecture is so unique in it's own way - I learned so much from this trip and could see a different side of Japan.. I hope to share this kind of Japan more and more with you through my channel :)
and lastly, a big big big thank you to my friends at Akita Inu Tourism for showing me around Akita!!!! Couldn't have done this video without you!

Here's that Convenience Store Packaging video we mentioned: ☞
