Kakunodate's Bukke Yashiki Dori, practically just the way it was during the Edo period.
This cityscape is a historic masterpiece with it's weeping cherry blossoms is spring, the deep fresh green in summer, brilliant colors in autumn and snow in the winter.

[14:30] Buying Kakunodate's famous rare morokoshi as a souvenir.

Rare morokoshi is Kakunodate's specialty.

Rare morokoshi, a confection from Akita area, is made from red bean flour and melts in in your mouth.

I stopped by a souvenir shop right in front of Aoyagi Estate.

I bought the tasty morokoshi cookie called Sakura Horohoro as a souvenir.

[16:00] At Sakaiya for Jumbo Strawberry Parfaits

At Sakaiya on our way to Kakunodate Station after returning the kimono.

It looks like an ordinary green grocer, but inside there's a café space.

The parfaits are so good they attract crowds.
