Akita Furusato-mura

Akita Furusato-mura is a theme park in Yokote with multiple connected buildings housing workshops, exhibition halls, and learning spaces. The grounds feature areas dedicated to traditional crafts, modern art displays, and planetarium facilities.

The park opened in 1994 as a destination for exploring Akita's cultural heritage and local traditions. It has grown to represent the region's artistic and craft traditions for visitors from near and far.

The park displays traditional crafts from the Akita region, showing skills passed down through generations. You can see how these local art forms are presented in contemporary exhibition spaces today.

The park sits about 15 minutes by bus from Yokote Station and opens every day for visitors. During rain, all activities move indoors to covered buildings, so any weather works for a visit.

A planetarium hall offers sky observation programs throughout the year to visitors interested in astronomy. The facility attracts school groups and families looking to learn more about space and celestial objects.
