Nikaho, Industrial city in Akita Prefecture, Japan
Located along the Sea of Japan coast, Nikaho spans 241 square kilometers with mountains including Mount Chokai and extensive agricultural fields.
The Satake clan controlled this region during the Edo period, and in 2005 the modern city formed through mergers of Nikaho, Konoura, and Kisakata.
The Ban-gaku musical dance continues as a traditional performance at festivals in Toushi, Kamagadai, and Iseiji districts of the city.
The city maintains four elementary schools, three junior high schools, and one high school, with extensive Computer Assisted Instruction programs.
