Small Town Charm in Akita, Japan | tanabata festival, kokeshi, inaniwa udon

we're back in akita, and this time we traveled to the town of yuzawa to go to the tanabata edoro festival. it's a unique festival with a history of over 300 years! we spent some time exploring the area, including inaniwa which is famous for udon. we had a great time and hope that you enjoy too :)

私たちは再び秋田に行ってきました。今回は、七夕絵どうろまつりを楽しむために、湯沢の町へ。このお祭りは、300年以上の歴史を持つ特別なお祭りです！
私たちは市内を散策し、うどんで有名な稲庭地区も訪れました。
素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。皆さんも楽しんでいただけたら嬉しいです :)
