Akita City Port Tower Selion

Rising 143 meters from the Akita port waterfront, Port Tower Selion offers a 360-degree observation deck with sweeping views across the city, the Sea of Japan coastline, and on clear days, the distant peaks of the Dewa Mountains. Entry to the observation deck is free, making it an easy stop during a walk around the port area. The ground floor houses a greenhouse and small shops selling local produce and crafts. Sunsets from the top floor are particularly striking, with the sun dropping straight into the sea.
