Akita Inu Visitor Center
Opened in May 2019. More than 160 stuffed-toy versions of Olympic figure skating gold medalist Alina Zagitova's beloved dog Masaru are stacked into a tree shape; a sheer mountain of cuteness. The Akita Inu Fureai Team and the Akita dogs of the Akita Inu Hozonkai take turns in greeting guests.
