Inazawa

Inazawa spreads across the Nōbi Plain in western Aichi Prefecture, a broad lowland that has long linked the city with Nagoya’s agricultural and transport networks. It is closely associated with Konomiya Shrine, where the Konomiya Hadaka Matsuri takes place each winter: men in traditional fundoshi compete to touch the Shin-otoko, a sacred participant believed to carry away misfortune. Inazawa is also known for ginkgo cultivation, especially around Sobue, where autumn brings vivid yellow to its groves and streets. Its position between Nagoya and the Kiso River corridor gives the city a distinctly local, seasonal character. See how Inazawa fits into western Aichi by browsing webcams nearby.
