My Hometown

Today, I'm going to talk about my hometown. I'm from Odate, the north of Akita Prefecture. So comparatively it is near to Hirosaki. It takes only about an hour from my home to here by car.


In fact, the original name of my hometown is Tashiro. It was a small town and merged in Odate City several years ago. But the name, Tashiro remains in our typical mountain, Tashiro-Dake. There are a lot of beautiful nature. The spring water is very good.

To tell about Akita Prefecture, kiritanpo is our famous local food. I think what my grandmother makes is the best! I recommend you to try it if you visit Akita Prefecture.
