Welcome To The Convention Ciry : Akita

Akita City prospered as a castle town under the rule of the Akita Clan, which managed a farmland area of 20 Mangoku units, and in 2009 it is celebrating its 220th anniversary as a municipal organization.

Akita, a core city in Northern Japan, continues to grow and develop in industrial, economic and cultural areas, based on its abundant natural and climatic resources. Completely surrounded by the Japan (East) Sea on one side, and mountains and rivers on the other, the refreshing feel of four seasons in Akita creates a hometown scenery. Akita is a town filled with peace and nostalgia. Officially designated as an 'International Convention City' by the Ministry of Transportation in December 1994, Akita is highly appraised both locally and from afar for its diversity. Along with a comfortable town atmosphere and facilities, Akita boasts its delicious rice wine, special northern style cooking, and picturesque landscapes.
