Join this serene evening walk through the snowy streets of Yokote, a city in southeastern Akita Prefecture. The journey begins at Yokote Station and covers approximately 4 km in the quiet winter setting. Yokote is famous for its snow festival in February, often compared to the one in Sapporo. However, this time, the town remains peaceful under a gentle snowfall.

Notable landmarks along the way include the Yokote City Interchange Center, a frozen park, a small shrine, and a river flowing through the winter landscape. Along the way, the walk passes a beef food vending machine, a couple of fruit trees, and an elementary school. The soft crunch of snow underfoot and the atmosphere are enhanced by the warm glow of orange streetlamps as night sets in. The highlight of the walk is Yokote Castle (横手城), a beautiful reconstructed castle standing atop a hill, offering stunning views of the snowy town below.
