Visit Akita, Japan

October 2, 2009 in Asia

Akita is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, and is known to be one of the most beautiful prefectures too. It is located somewhere in the Tohoku region of Japan. Till the year 600, Akita was known to be quite separated and away from the workings of main Japan. There was not much involvement of Akita in the commerce, politics, trade etc. of the country. It mainly comprised of certain specific nomadic tribes, and thus, was very limited in its scope and function. It was like a small different world in itself.

Mountains are considered to be one of the most magical out of all nature’s delights. They have a unique and rare charm to them that combine beauty with adventure. Besides mountains are also said to be symbolic of being perseverant and dedicated to achieve all goals set in life. A perfect example to all this is the Cordillera del Paine in Chile. It is a small mountain group which is actually a part of the Torres del Paine National Park, which is located in the Chilean Patagonia. There are as such no accurate surveys that have been carried out in this region, and for those that have been carried out have not been published. Thus, there is not much information on the elevations, though most of them are known to be naturally suppressed over the years.
