Oga Peninsula: Namahage and Aquarium GAO Scenic Coastal Drive
Spend a full day with your family exploring the Oga Peninsula, where the cry "Are there any crying children?" echoes. Be overwhelmed by over 100 namahage masks at the Namahage Hall, then experience the powerful performances in a farmhouse at the adjacent Oga Masanami Legend Hall. Drive along the coast to meet polar bears and hatahata (Akita's prefectural fish) at Oga Aquarium GAO, and enjoy spectacular views at Nyudo Cape with its green grass, blue sea, and striking black-and-white striped lighthouse. Cap it off with souvenir shopping at Michi no Eki Ogaré. This is the perfect indulgent drive course for families with elementary school children, offering tradition, sea creatures, and breathtaking scenery all in one.
