Moriyoshi Mountain Matagi Cultural Experience

Kita-Akita City's Ani District is one of Japan's foremost Matagi villages. At the Matagi Museum, you can learn about hunting tools and traditional mountain life. On guided mountain hikes, you'll learn how to read animal trails and identify wild vegetables and mushrooms. In winter, snowshoe trekking through deep snow forests is also offered. It's a precious experience to encounter the wisdom of the Matagi people who have lived in harmony with nature.
