Oga Peninsula

Oga Peninsula, Akita, Japan

Dairyuji is located on the Oga Penninsula in northern Japan. Rooted in the unique, local culture and surrounded by stunning scenery, Oga is a wonderful place to visit year round. The rugged coastline is juxtaposed by the wide stretches of inland rice fields, forests and mountains. Inspired, and often defined by nature, life is lived slowly and intentionally on the peninsula.
