FukushimaFellow 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Still a fair way for me but the few times I have beenm to Akita I have really liked what I saw. (And not just the bijin). Another city I like that isn't that far from where I am in Sendai. Cood city that. Link to post Share on other sites
miller 1 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Sendai is nice, I spent a few weeks there for work and I thought it was nicer than most Japanese cities I had been to. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 From what I have seen Akita looks nice, but it might just be a bit far out on our trip up to Tohoku. We shall see! Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I really want to go up there. Link to post Share on other sites
