Ashika-Con is proud to call Vancouver, Washington home—a city where a modern waterfront meets outdoor adventure. Located just north of Portland, Oregon, and approximately three hours south of Seattle, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of scenic beauty, accessibility, and culture for our attendees.

​

Our event is surrounded by a variety of comfortable hotel accommodations, with multiple options conveniently located near the venue and along the waterfront, making it easy for guests to explore, relax, and enjoy their stay. Many nearby hotels feature amenities such as on-site dining, fitness centers, and inviting communal spaces designed to enhance your visit.

​

Vancouver itself is a destination worth exploring. The city’s rich history spans from the Indigenous peoples who have lived along the Columbia River since time immemorial, to the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1806, and the early foundations of the Pacific Northwest. This history is still visible today through local landmarks, trails, and cultural sites.

​

Visitors can stroll the revitalized waterfront and enjoy tasting rooms and restaurants, discover the region’s aviation history, admire vibrant murals throughout the city, or venture out to hike the nearby Columbia River Gorge. Vancouver, Washington is where history meets creativity—and where the past and future come together
