New Year's Celebration & Dinner in Oga Onsen

About this event

A special plan to celebrate the New Year in Oga Onsen Village. At Oga Kanko Hotel, from January 1 to January 3, an original program where authentic Namahage visit the dinner venue will be held. At the buffet of approximately 50 varieties of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, guests can enjoy seasonal ingredients from Akita and the Oga Peninsula, seafood from the Sea of Japan, Akita specialties, and local dishes of Oga. In particular, the demonstration of 'Oga Specialty Ishiyaki Cuisine'—where fresh fish is placed in an Akita cedar tub filled with hot water and violently cooked right before your eyes by tossing in stones heated to about 800 degrees Celsius—will take place around 19:30. In addition, a New Year-exclusive kids corner (riddles, coloring, spot the difference, handmade kites, etc.) is scheduled to be set up. Dinner time is designated as 19:00 to 20:30 (19:10 to 20:40 when crowded), offering 90 minutes of all-you-can-eat. At Seiko Grand Hotel as well, as a 3-day limited New Year plan from January 1 to January 3, Namahage will raid the dinner venue, and a Japanese-style meal set with sacred sake offerings from Mayama Shrine and Oga's specialty 'Ishiyaki Cuisine' will be served. A New Year kids corner is also scheduled.
