Government of Akita, City hall in Akita, Japan

The Government of Akita is the city hall of Akita, located at 1-1 Sanno 1-chome, facing the Akita Prefectural Government Office across Sanno O-dori. The current seven-story reinforced-concrete building, completed in 2016, has one basement level and about 30,980 m² of floor space. A central atrium runs from the first to the sixth floor, and the assembly chamber sits in the southwest corner of the fifth floor.

The municipal government was formally established in 1889 when Akita became an official city, marking the start of organized local administration. It has since overseen the region's growth through industrial and agricultural changes.

The nickname of the city hall's central service counter is "Senta-su"; the western, northern, southern and eastern counters are called "Uesutā", "Kitasuka", "Nanpia" and "Īparu". These counters combine branch-office paperwork with community-hall and childcare functions, part of the city's decentralisation plan. The city's founding is marked on 12 July, the date of formal opening in 1889.

The building sits at the city center and is easily accessible by public transport, making it simple for residents to visit. Those needing to handle municipal matters should check department hours before arriving to ensure the office they need is open.

The 2016 main building stands on the former site of NHK Akita Broadcasting, which moved to Higashidori in 2008; the city and NHK swapped the land. A seven-storey reinforced-concrete block with one basement level, it has a full-height void from the first to the sixth floor for daylight and natural ventilation, and its first floor is raised about 1.8 m above the surrounding ground against flooding.
