Local Guide FAQ
- What do you recommend (places, experiences, food) in the area?
The Akiu area is recommended for its delicious food. There are many alcoholic beverages made in Akiu, such as Akiu Winery and Great Dane Brewing, as well as many stylish cafes. All are delicious, so be sure to try them at least once!
- Please tell us about the hole in the wall you know because you work there!
This is a beach near Aqua Ignis Sendai, about 40 minutes by car from Hoshino Resorts KAI Akiu. I only go there once in a while, but the view of the ocean from there is very beautiful. If the weather is good, you can take great pictures! There are many stores at Aqua Ignis Sendai, including a one-day hot spring and a cafe, so you can enjoy the whole day including the beach.
- Tell us about your most memorable trip, with whom and where you went!
My most memorable trip was to Okinawa. I was born by the sea, so I went to Okinawa to see the ocean. I was so impressed by the emerald green ocean, which is different from the ocean in my hometown, that I took many pictures. I would like to travel to a place with beautiful sea again.
- What do you do on your days off?
When I am not busy, I often watch Korean and Chinese dramas. I find the different culture from Japan interesting, and I watch them without worrying about the time.
- Is there anything you always take with you on a trip?
I often bring chibi nudies with me so that I can keep myself guessing when I travel. I enjoy making pilgrimages to sacred places.
