Kakunodate, Japan - Historic Kakunodate (2019)
Kakunodate (角館町 Kakunodate-machi) is a town located in Senboku District, Akita Prefecture, Japan.
In 2003, the town had an estimated population of 14,138 and a density of 90.26 persons per km². The total area was 156.63 km².

There are the ruins of Kakunodate Castle and Kakunodate Matsuri is an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

Forgotten by time - Kakunodate (Rural Akita)
It was just too cold to go out and shoot for a minute of footage today so I raided my stash of un-cut footage again. Kakunodate is a tiny town with a Shinkansen stop in Akita Prefecture. It has a good deal of History, a Samurai House and the last shop making Cherry Bark containers (they've been doing it for hundreds of years, too.) I went there for work back in 2013 and snapped some 60p footage around the town.
It's definitely a town worth visiting, especially if you have a rail pass, just because so few people actually do.
