Kisakata
Kisakata in Nikaho City, Akita Prefecture, is a National Natural Monument where over 60 pine-covered hills dot rice paddies — remnants of islands that once floated in a scenic lagoon rivaling Matsushima. Shaped by Mount Chokai's volcanic collapse and an 1804 earthquake, this is the northernmost destination of Basho's Oku no Hosomichi. Discover a landscape where geology, poetry, and breathtaking seasonal beauty converge.
