From Mamorogawa I took a train to Akita City and changed for Odate, arriving at 10pm. It was a loooong day of travel, and less efficient than the Japan Sea Side route but I took the Yonesaka line for the first time which made it worth the extra time.

There is an international university in Akita that is presumably a factor in the excellent English signage around the station. |
