Namahage is designated an intangible cultural asset by UNESCO. On this tour, you can enjoy various local spots in the Oga peninsula facing the Sea of Japan. The highlight is, of course, the Namahage show played in the Oga Shinzan folklore museum. You can't miss it when you visit Akita. You can also visit Mt.Kanpuzan observatory and Nyuodo-zaki. Those are nice photo spots of Oga. Finally, we stop at Michinoeki-Oga(roadside station Oga) to enjoy a pleasant shopping time. Additional information * This tour is up to 3 guests, because the car I can provide is a small car. But if you are 4 guests including one or more child who is younger than 10 years old, it will be ok with four guests. Three people should be packed in the back seat. In this case please let me know.

What you'll do

Namahage Museum
Mizukuisawa Kitaurashinzan, Oga, Japan
Namahage is thought to be a deity from Mt.Shinzan with a demonic mask and straw coat. They come to fix children's and wife-in-low's laziness with loring voices and sounds. In this museum, you can witness various types of demonic masks and costumes depending on the area in the Oga peninsula. Enjoy a short movie to learn about the Namahage ritual.
1 hourAdmission not included
Ogashinzan Traditional Museum
97 Kitaurashinzan, Oga, Japan
This is a must-see spot in the Oga peninsula. The realistic Namahage show can be seen in an old relocated farmers' house. The show is played in the very local Akita dialect. But you can feel Namahage talking with the head of the house so funny.
1 hourAdmission not included
Michi no Eki Oga Ogare
1-19 Funagawa Shinhamacho, Funagawa Minato, Oga, Japan
Best spot to buy souvenirs of Oga and whole Akita area. Have some snacks and enjoy Oga salty soft ice cream. Please take your time to enjoy shopping.
