This JR poster for Akita has been around for a couple of weeks. A namahage in an onsen with sake (the sake puzzles me a little since I thought it was taboo to drink sake in an onsen - something only obnoxious Russian sailors did). A....kita - is a pun which means both Akita and I have (finally) arrived. It's apt description of how I feel upon arriving there after the long trip up. "akita" can also have the meaning 'bored' which could make for a funny send up of the poster.

Niseko in Hokkaido also has onsens where alcohol is allowed. Theres usually a sign that says its prohibited. If there isn't one and theres a beer vending machine close by, you are good to go.
Interesting. Sake in the onsen always reminds me of Debito and the Otaru onsen case.
In all the times I have been to onsen in Akita I've never seen anyone drink sake... I wonder if it's poetic license.
