- [Oga Peninsula](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/oga-peninsula): Akita, Attraction. The Oga Peninsula juts dramatically into the Sea of Japan, famous as the home of the Namahage, fearsome demon-like figures who visit houses on New Year's Eve to frighten lazy children into behaving well. The rugged coastline features dramatic cliffs, and the natural rock formation known as 'Godzilla Rock' draws photographers seeking the perfect angle.
- [Lake Tazawa](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/lake-tazawa): Akita, Attraction. Lake Tazawa is Japan's deepest lake at 423 meters, its waters maintaining a deep cobalt-blue color year-round thanks to its depth. Surrounded by forested mountains, the lake is associated with the legend of the beautiful maiden Tatsuko who was transformed into a dragon, her bronze statue standing at the water's edge.
