About
The rural city of Odate is situated in a verdant valley in the north east corner of the prefecture. There are mountains, onsens, lakes, rivers and waterfalls to experience and explore. The hotsprings bubble forth from the ground. The bears wander down from the forests in search of food and the great night skies drift over all of this, unperturbed. Here you can feel the old spirits more easily than in Tokyo or even Kyoto.
