About this place
The Kakunodate Samurai District is the old Uchimachi quarter of Kakunodate in Semboku City, Akita, where a broad north-south street runs from the foot of the old castle hill past black-fenced samurai residences. The town is known for its cherry trees and is often called the 'Little Kyoto of Tohoku'.
The mapcode lands in the samurai district itself. Parking is in paid and free lots around the district rather than on the street itself. During the cherry blossom festival in late April and early May temporary lots open and some sections close to general traffic at weekends, so park on the edge and walk in.

How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Kakunodate Samurai District?
- The mapcode is 280 337 615*77, pointing at a spot in 秋田県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 39.600039, 140.559282. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
