Akita Prefectural Hall

Akita Prefectural Hall, Public music venue in Akita City, Japan.

Akita Prefectural Hall was a multi-purpose hall in the Senshu Meitoku-chō district of Akita City, with a main hall of 1,839 seats (1,192 on the first floor, 647 on the second) and four meeting rooms seating 12 to 17 people plus a 180-person conference room. It stood on the site of the former Kubota domain retainer Shibue family residence and later the Akita Prefectural Public Hall.

The venue opened in 1961 and closed in 2018, serving for about 57 years as a cultural facility in Akita Prefecture. It hosted performances from international and local artists throughout its operational period.

The hall's name was chosen for a prefectural venue rather than a city one, and its 1,839-seat main auditorium made it the largest in Akita Prefecture. Concerts by Santana (1974, 1977), Bob Dylan (1997, 2001) and Yellow Magic Orchestra (1980) were held here. A monument to singer Taro Tokairin stood just northeast of the building.

The location was situated in central Akita near other public buildings and administrative offices. Visitors could access different halls depending on the type of event or performance they wished to attend.

The hall stood in the Senshu Meitoku-chō area of Akita City, on land that once held the residence of the Shibue family, senior retainers of the Kubota domain. A monument to singer Tarō Tōkairin stood just northeast of the building.
