Hot water in the polder lagoon

The Oshigai Center's store is full of Akita prefecture specialty products such as Akita prefecture-name confectionery, meat, and fresh fish, with the main focus of Ogata vegetables and hand-made processed products. It is adjacent to the Ogata Village Reclamation Museum, which is the only theme of reclamation in Japan.

Over about 11km along the prefectural road 298, the cherry and rape blossom road with roughly 3700 cherry and rape blossoms is a spring wind poem in Ogata Village. A row of cherry trees runs parallel to the rape blossoms, and the landscape is like a yellow and pink carpet. The multi-purpose exercise square near the Hotel Saint-Rural-Ogata is home to a rape field, and the "Cherry Blossom and Rape Festival" is held in late April-early May, when the cherry blossoms and rapeseed are seen.

Ōgata village was born in 1964 (1964) by the dryland of Hachirogata, the second largest in Japan after Lake Biwa. This museum displays historical events and unique motions and plants related to reclamation and village development in an easy-to-understand manner. The commentary of the "Ogata Village Guide Volunteer", which guides the villagers who have settled in and built the village while weaving through their own history, is full of a sense of realism.
