2 Days Tour to Sannai Akita

Akita City is the capital of Akita Prefecture, located up north in the Tohoku Region of Japan. The city is best known for hosting the Kanto Matsuri, a large festival at the beginning of August in which revelers balance long bamboo poles with dozens of paper lanterns attached to the end.

Day 1: From Haneda or Narita go to Akita by Shinkansen

Day 2: Akita city

The Kanto Matsuri ("pole lantern festival") is a Tanabata-related celebration in Akita City, held every year from August 3 to 6. The highlight of the festival is an impressive display of skill in which performers balance Kanto (long bamboo poles) with arrays of paper lanterns attached to the end. The Kanto Matsuri together with Aomori's Nebuta Festival and Sendai's Tanabata makes up the three great festivals of the Tohoku Region.
