Let's go to Oga in Akita Prefecture, Japan

#JapanTravel #Japan #TohokuTravel #AkitaPrefecture #Oga #Namahage #JapaneseTraditionalFestival Let's go to Akita Prefecture in the Tohoku region of Japan!!! Akita Prefecture is not well known, but it is a rice-growing area in Japan and the Akita dog, a representative dog breed of Japan, is famous (although it has been pushed out by the Shiba Inu these days) Because it is a rice-growing area, rice is famous and because of that, sake is also famous! And I went to Oga City in Akita Prefecture. Oga City is the innermost city in Akita Prefecture. Every winter, the Namahage Sedo Festival is held to welcome the New Year. Namahage is a Japanese yokai that is said to punish evil people. It is a ritual to defeat bad luck to celebrate the start of the New Year. If you go to Oga City every January, you can participate in the festival, so let's visit.
