Senboku has served as a municipality in Akita Prefecture since 2005, when Kakunodate, Tazawako and Nishiki were merged. Across its broad territory, Lake Tazawa—the deepest lake in Japan—lies below the volcanic slopes of Mount Akita-Komagatake in the Ōu Mountains. The Tazawako area includes Nyūtō Onsen, a group of traditional hot-spring inns in the mountains. Farther west, Kakunodate retains the street plan and samurai residences of a former castle town, and its weeping cherry trees are a major spring draw. The bronze Tatsuko statue on Lake Tazawa refers to a local legend and is one of the lake's recognisable landmarks.
