I would be pleased if you told me your opinions about the photo!

Kakunodate (Japanese: 角館町; -machi) is a town located in Senboku District, Akita, Japan.
On September 20, 2005 the town merged with the town of Tazawako and the village of Nishiki to form the new city of Senboku.
In 2003, the town had an estimated population of 14,138 and a density of 90.26 persons per km˛. The total area was 156.63 km˛.
The town is famed for its preserved samurai houses and the proliferation of cherry trees. It is a popular destination for hanami, or cherry-blossom viewing. It is sometimes referred as 'the little Kyoto of Tohoku' (みちのくの小京都 Michinoku no sho-kyoto).
