Akita Private Shore Excursion Oga Peninsula Highlights

Explore the former site of Kubota Castle, once home to the Satake clan, who ruled the Akita Domain during the Edo period. Today, the castle grounds form Senshu Park, where you can walk among historic remains and reconstructed structures while discovering Akita’s castle-town history.

Stop at Tenno Green Land, a spacious roadside complex featuring local products, recreational facilities, and a symbolic tower overlooking the surrounding landscape. Enjoy a short break before continuing toward the Oga Peninsula.

Discover the traditions of Oga’s Namahage through an impressive collection of masks, costumes, photographs, and cultural exhibits. Learn how this centuries-old tradition has been passed down through communities across the Oga Peninsula.

Visit this historic shrine at the foot of Mt. Shinzan, closely connected with the spiritual traditions of the Oga Peninsula and the Namahage culture. Surrounded by forest, the shrine offers a peaceful atmosphere that reflects the area's long religious history.

Visit Cape Nyudozaki at the northern tip of the Oga Peninsula. Known for its dramatic cliffs, open grasslands, and sweeping views across the Sea of Japan, the cape is one of Oga’s most distinctive scenic destinations. If you wish to enter the interior of Nyudozaki Lighthouse, a separate admission donation is required. Admission to the lighthouse interior is not included in the standard itinerary.

If time permits, visit this 143-meter-high landmark near Akita Port. From the observation room 100 meters above the ground, enjoy panoramic views over Akita City, the port, and the Sea of Japan.
