Senshu Park
Senshu Park is the main park of Akita City and one of the must-visit spots if you come here. It is located on a hill and has several levels that allow you to have a nice walk and explore it from different sides. You can also get a great view on the city from different angles, as well as on mountains. The park is full of trees and offers varieties of flowers, and has its own shrine, temple and castle, which makes you feel closer to nature and Japanese culture.
Akita Museum Of Art
The Akita Museum of Art is the center of art in Akita Prefecture. The museum has 3 floors with the Public Gallery, Tsuguharu Foujita Gallery that contains exclusively Foujita's project “Events of Akita” which is dedicated to Akita's culture, and other galleries for various exhibitions. The ticket price depends on which gallery you enter. The public gallery contains different artworks from various artists from all over the world, but the main artwork that is really worth seeing is a huge painting that represents major events of all four seasons in Akita Prefecture. If you want to learn more about Akita's unique culture, you should definitely enter the Tsuguharu Foujita Gallery to see his special art exhibits. Finally, those who are deeply interested in the arts might also consider other exhibitions offered by the museum. For example, recently there was an exhibition of paintings a famous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai whose masterpieces include "Great Wave Off Kanagawa".
Port Tower Selion
At first sight, Akita's architecture might seem to be not so attractive. But then I changed my mind when I got to visit the Selion Tower. This tower is 143m high and has such a cool and modern design. It will impress you even more with its illuminations if you get to see it during night time.
