This was such a well-balanced experience. A walk through samurai history, a taste of traditional sake, and beautiful views of Akita made it a memorable day. The preserved samurai district felt peaceful and authentic, while the brewery visit gave us a deeper appreciation for local culture. Among all the Akita shore excursions we considered, this one stood out for its cultural depth and easy pace.
