National Route 105 (国道105号,Kokudō Hyaku gogō) is anational highway ofJapan that traverses theprefecture ofAkita in a southwest–northeast routing. It connects the city ofKitaakita in north-central Akita Prefecture andYurihonjō on the prefecture's southwestern coast. It has a total length of 170.0 kilometers (105.6 mi).

National Route 105 crossesAkita Prefecture in a southwest–northeast routing. Beginning at a junction with national routes7 and341 in the coastal city ofYurihonjō, it travels east alongsideNational Route 107 andNational Route 108 through the central district of the city. After crossing over theUetsu Main Line, the concurrent highways leave National Route 105, with National Route 108 exiting first, heading southwest towardsMiyagi Prefecture. Shortly beyond that point, National Route 107 leaves continuing east towardsIwate Prefecture while National Route 105 turns to the north, paralleling the Uetsu Line. Eventually the highway curves to the east again, heading towardsDaisen. Southwest of central Daisen, the highway turns to the north at a junction with theAkita Expressway. After passing through the city it enters the city ofSemboku, though it passes to the west of the central district on its way towardsKitaakita. From the former village ofKakunodate in Semboku to the former town ofTakanosu in Kitaakita, the highway is called the Matagi Road.^[2] From southern Semboku to Kitaakita, the highway roughly parallels theAkita Nairiku Line. The highway terminates at a junction with National Route 7 to the north of central Kitaakita. It has a total length of 170.0 kilometers (105.6 mi).^[1][3]

The original Secondary National Route 105 was created on 18 May 1953, it is now designated asNational Route 46. On 1 April 1965, Secondary National Route 105 was redesignated as General National Route 105. On 1 April 1970 the highway was extended south toHonjō (today's Yurihonjō) and north toTakanosu (today's Kitaakita).^[7] From 27 April to 30 June 2019, votes were cast to determine the name of a section of the highway between Kakunodate and Takanosu. On 8 November 2019, the government of Akita Prefecture announced the name chosen for the section of highway was "Matagi Road". TheMatagi are a group of traditional winter hunters from the mountainous region of Akita Prefecture where the highway is located.^[2]
