  Anisotropy in the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energies above
10$^{17}$eV is studied using data from the Akeno 20 km$^2$ array and the Akeno
Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA), using a total of about 117,000 showers observed
during 11 years. In the first harmonic analysis, we have found strong
anisotropy of $\sim$ 4% around 10$^{18}$eV, corresponding to a chance
probability of 0.2%. With two dimensional analysis in right ascension and
declination, this anisotropy is interpreted as an excess of showers near the
directions of the Galactic Center and the Cygnus region.
