This all-glass tower and stop at Michi-no-Eki Akita Port stands as an iconic symbol of Akita Port. Towering at 143 meters tall, it offers a free observation deck at 100 meters above ground complete with stunning 360-degree panorama. The view of the expansive Sea of Japan, Akita City, and the Oga Peninsula is one always worth the climb. Make your way up at night and join the savvy many popping up for a date. At 96 meters you’ll find observation cafe "Selion Cafe", the perfect spot for coffee and desserts while taking in the scenery.

The first floor is the place to go for Selion Garden, a fresh market for local vegetables and fruits. You can also find Akita specialties such as kiritanpo, hatahata, and iburigakko, as well as Akita’s renowned sake. Don’t forget to pick up some merchandise featuring the original character "Selion Boy" as a souvenir.

In addition, there are the "Selion Kitchen" offering four types of daily specials and "Tsuchizaki Minatoya" for seafood barbecue. The vending machines for udon and soba are hidden gems. The original soft serve inspired by Akita’s famous "Habahera Ice" is a must-try, available only at Selion. Be sure to check out the seasonal light-up events.
