Get in

By plane

Akita has an airport, with domestic flights coming in from such places as Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Sapporo. Buses connect the airport with Akita station (40 minutes, ¥890).

By train

The Akita Shinkansen provides hourly service from Tokyo station to Akita station. Trains are all-reserved and are known as Komachi (???) trains. The trains only stop at Ueno, Omiya, Sendai and Morioka before slowing down to travel to Akita over conventional rail lines. Trains also reverse direction once at Omagari, the stop before Akita.

Komachi trains from Tokyo reach Akita in four hours and cost ¥16810 each way, so it might be wise to get a rail pass of some kind before making the journey. Beware that the Komachi trains are coupled to Hachinohe-bound Hayate trains, which split at Morioka, so be sure you're in the right train and car when boarding.

The Akebono overnight sleeper train from Tokyo's Ueno station, and the Nihonkai # 1 and # 3 from Osaka and Kyoto, stop in Akita before terminating in Aomori or Hachinohe.

By bus

Odakyu Bus runs an overnight bus service, the "Flora", from Shinjuku to Akita. Two departures each night (8-9 hours, ¥9450 one-way).
