Visiting the Samurai Residence District in Kakunodate, Akita
The Kakunodate Samurai Residence District is most popular in the autumn with the beautiful fall colors and in the spring because of the weeping cherry trees. In fact, it's beautiful all year round, and whenever you happen to be in the area, it's worth visiting. There are two resdence-complexes that have become museums and charge a modest admission, the Aoyagi and Ishiguro houses, and four other smaller ones that are free to explore, though offer limited access. The streets themselves are beautiful in that area as well.
Location:
Enishi doesn't have an official English website, but is a great guest house to stay in while you're in the area. It's 7,000 yen per person per night, which is roughly $60 or so. You can email the owner at enishi.kakunodate@gmail.com or send her a direct message on Instagram. (Also, give her a follow on Instagram- @akitainu_kakunodate)
Location:
The sunken forest that appears this time of year is best viewed from this bridge. (Pin dropped at best place to park your car.)

During the end of May, I've traveled to Akita for a 3day holiday to treat myself from the stressful life in Tokyo.

Kakunodate and Tazawako Lake are two of the best places to wonder if you have no plans for the day in Akita.

Kakunodate & Lake Tazawa Travel Guides
Kakunodate is an old town about an hour from Akita by Shinkansen. It is the center of old Samura houses. It has been around for hundreds of years. When you arrive in this town, you feel that you are going back in time.
I love the atmosphere of this old town. If you are interested in experiencing the ancient times of Japan, do visit Kakunodate.
Lake Tazawa is just half an hour from Kakunodate by Shinkansen. However, you must be careful about the local bus routes and schedules. I recommend that you should take the Round-the-lake Bus to see the scenery of the entire Lake Tazawa.
