Akanko Ainu Kotan
Come into contact with Ainu culture that has preserved and passed on its traditions
Lake Akan is located in the eastern part of Hokkaido, and Akanko Ainu Kotan is located in a corner of the hot spring resort that spreads across its shores. The Ainu Kotan is a village where people who have inherited the traditional culture of the Ainu, an indigenous people living in Hokkaido, actually live. Visitors can shop along the streets lined with wood-carving craft stores and folk craft stores, and watch Ainu dance performances on the stage. Don't miss the performances that make full use of the latest digital technology.
