Reviews
The van service communicated very well before the actual date of pick up. Akita and the surrounding area is not serviced by Uber and taxis are not common of you are not in a train station or airport. Hiring a van is essential. Our driver, Ms. Gao, was always waiting and took us to the spots that we had agreed on: Kakunodate, Lake Tazawa and Dakigaeri trail. We were able to see all these sights conveniently and at our own pace. I highly recommend hiring a van if you want to see all these places and you don't have a car. Although the price is not cheap, it's worth it. It's convenient and makes the trip leisurely.
The driver was great, pointing out many attractions and helping us add activities to our itinerary with the remaining time.
