explanation: Located in the center of Fukushima prefecture at the crossing point of east-west road and south-north roads, it had developed naturally as a post town, though the surrounding area remained poor because of a harsh climate. Its real development began after the opening of Asaka canal which brought waters and electricity from Lake Inawashiro. Chemicals, electrical appliances, food processing, and precision instruments are its main industries. The population is 323,000.
