[Akita Prefecture] Akita Airport ✈️

First visit to Akita Airport 🔰 The tough Namahage 👹 and the cute Akita dog 🐶 Akita Airport is where these coexist. Akita Sayogu, we're here! The Namahage welcome you with shining eyes 😆 The little ones might cry 💦 Next to the turntable, there was also an Akita cedar dog hospitality team 🐕 There's also a lot of art in the airport. The works of Shuzo Ikeda, a woodblock artist from Nikaho City, Akita Prefecture, are everywhere 🖼 A fairy tale world with a gentle yet powerful gaze. I couldn't help but stop at every piece of art ☺️ Also, in a corner of the waiting zone outside the restricted area on the second floor, there is a ceramic relief based on an original drawing by Yaguchi Takao, a manga artist from Yokote City, Akita Prefecture 😲 It dynamically depicts the main character from the manga "Tsurikichi Sanpei," a school of yamame trout, and Mt. Chokai! And on the top floor is "Minna no Hiroba Kuu." It's a space that feels like it's surrounded by the sky and clouds 🌤 Not only are there many model planes, including those from JAL, and panels explaining the history of Akita Airport on display, but the cockpit of a three-engine Tristar, which is only introduced by ANA in Japan, is also on display 💡 It was great to see Akita Airport, which makes full use of the limited space to entertain visitors 👍 The interior, which makes abundant use of Akita cedar, is also wonderful ✨ Visit date: October 2021 #Tohoku #TohokuTrip #Airport #airport #AkitaPrefecture #Akita #AkitaTourism #AkitaAirport #Namahage #AkitaInu #ObservationDeck
