Why not take a gourmet trip to enjoy the famous restaurants of Akabane, which is known as a great spot for eating out and drinking out at reasonable prices? There are also some superb spots to enjoy the scenery and feel the seasons.

The east exit of JR Akabane Station is lined with lively shopping streets such as Akabane Ichibangai and OK Yokocho Street. This is known as a great spot for enjoying many inexpensive and delicious izakayas (Japanese-style pubs). This time, we took a gourmet trip to enjoy some warm-hearted izakayas (Japanese-style pubs) and famous restaurants that can only be found in Akabane. We also recommend visiting Akabane Hachiman Shrine and the Kyu-Furukawa Gardens, which offer spectacular views.
