Akashi
city, Hyogo ken (prefecture), Honshu, Japan. The city is adjacent to Kobe on the Akashi Strait of the Inland Sea.

Artifacts of the Jomon period (4500-250 BC; a hunting and gathering society) include pottery with distinctive cord impressions. During the Yayoi period (250 BC-AD 250) immigrants from Korea introduced irrigation techniques and bronze and iron implements.
