What are the best road trip destinations near Akita?

It's time to see what your new ride is capable of. Road trips into the neighboring areas are among the many reasons that renting a car here is a great option. Without one, it'd be much harder to soak up everything that Senboku, 25 miles away, has to offer. Kansagu Ukiki Shrine, Katamaeyama Forest Park and Memories of the Lagoon Branch School Museum alone make the drive out worth it. Don't forget about Oga either! Just 30 miles away, it also has plenty to see and do. Oga Aquarium GAO, Hachibodai and Nyudozaki are must-sees.
