Experience the Allure of Akita at Setagaya's Resident Exchange Fair

On October 18, 2025, the Akita Resident Exchange Fair will be held in Setagaya, Tokyo, at HOME/WORK VILLAGE. This event aims to let those interested in moving to Akita or connecting with the region experience the essence of Akita up close. Even if you are not contemplating a move, you can enjoy a day filled with markets, activities, stage events, and more, leaving you to think, “Akita has its charm!”

The Gateway to Wanting to Visit Akita

Deciding to relocate is a significant step. Before making such a choice, it's essential to engage with Akita directly — to visit, explore, and develop a desire to return. When the opportunity comes in life to consider moving, we hope attendees will remember the stunning landscapes and warm heartedness of its people. This encouragement underscores the essence of our event. Numerous individuals who have already made the leap to Akita will join us to share real-life insights about life, parenting, jobs, and engagement with the community, providing an invaluable opportunity to hear firsthand experiences.
