Noshiro, Port city on the Sea of Japan in Akita Prefecture, Japan

The Yoneshiro River flows through Noshiro city before emptying into the Sea of Japan near the commercial port facilities and thermal power station.

The imperial court dispatched an expedition to Noshiro in 658 AD to establish control over the local Emishi tribes in the region of ancient Dewa Province.

The Noshiro Yakutanabata Onagori Festival brings together residents each summer with traditional performances, displays, and community celebrations throughout the city streets.

The Odate-Noshiro Airport, opened in 1998, connects the region to major Japanese cities, while the Ou Main Line provides rail transportation along the coast.

The Kaze no Matsubara pine forest stands as a natural barrier against coastal winds, created through generations of local environmental management efforts.
