Semboku district, Administrative district in Akita Prefecture, Japan

The Semboku district spans across the central region of Akita Prefecture, featuring mountains, forests, and Lake Tazawa within its boundaries.

Established in December 1878, the district emerged during the Meiji period following the reorganization of Japan's administrative divisions from the former Dewa Province.

The district preserves numerous samurai residences from the Edo period in Kakunodate, displaying traditional architecture and craftsmanship of feudal Japan.

The Akita Shinkansen and Tazawako Line provide railway connections throughout the district, linking major settlements and tourist destinations.

Lake Tazawa, situated within the district, holds the distinction of being the deepest lake in Japan, reaching depths of 423 meters.
