Pottery Experience at Rurigama (瑠璃窯)
Step into the studio of ceramic artist Ruriko Ando for a reservation-only pottery class. It’s a wonderful, relaxing way to create a personal keepsake featuring the studio’s gorgeous, signature lapis lazuli glazes.
Summer: The Omagari Fireworks Festival
Iconic event is a national competition where top pyrotechnicians from across Japan compete, lighting up the night sky with massive, synchronized displays of light and music.
Winter: Skiing & Snowboarding at OPAS / Tazawako
Embrace Akita's famous winter powder. We can head to OPAS for convenient, local runs or venture out to Tazawako Ski Resort to carve down slopes that offer breathtaking, panoramic views of Lake Tazawa.

Getting here

Akita Home is set deep within the rural landscapes of Akita, offering a true escape into a quieter, more intentional way of living. Because of our remote location, getting around by car is essential for exploring the vast surrounding nature.

Vehicles Available for You

To make your stay as seamless as possible, we have two dedicated vehicles available on-site for our guests to use during their stay. Whether you are driving out to a trailhead or simply exploring the local area, these cars are at your disposal.

Other Details

Parking: We have ample driveway parking available right on the property, so you will have no trouble parking the guest vehicles or any additional cars you bring.

Winter Essentials: If you are visiting during the colder months, please note that snow tires or snow chains are a absolute must from as the rural mountain roads receive heavy snowfall.

Supplies & Groceries: The nearest Mall and convenience store are about a 20-min drive away - Aeon Mall Akita and FamilyMart.
