Akita City Hotel, located directly across from the Akita Prefectural Library, is just a 3-minute walk away. The lobby provides dedicated concierge service to help guests reserve access to special exhibitions or the historic manuscript reading room. Its rooftop terrace blends traditional wooden architecture with modern minimalism, glowing softly at night like a miniature library garden—perfect for photography. We recommend the "Ginkgo View Room" for its direct vista of the library’s century-old ginkgo tree, offering ever-changing seasonal scenery: fresh buds in spring, lush shade in summer, golden foliage in autumn, and snow-laden branches in winter.
