Akafuto, Minkai's second-largest port, is located at the mouth of the Tagiryu River and serves as a major part of the Tian Xia lumber trade. Akafuto exports a wide variety of raw and finished goods, and the city's junks are among the most common Minkaian ships in foreign ports, particularly Tianjing.

Akafuto's most famous temple is the Ukuashi-Ji, dedicated to the god of prosperity Kofusachi, who is said to bless the harvested goods and crafts that flow through Akafuto's markets. Akafuto is also home to the Juhimeiyo School, a monastic institution attended primarily by young nobles looking to work within the imperial court.

Akafuto has maintained a remarkable political stability over the centuries. It has been ruled by a member of the Moniwa family for over a millennia.
