I went to Akita last May 2019. Took a shinkansen from my hotel in Morioka and arrived at Akita station after a pleasant 2 hour trip. Then a 30 minute bus ride to Yudanaka.Finally another 30 minutes on foot up a secluded mountain road to the Convent of Our Lady of Akita. The nuns don't speak much English but it didn't matter. I was finally able to see the miraculous wooden statue of our Virgin. It was a supreme moment .
