Showa

Tucked along the northern foothills of Mount Akagi, Showa is a place whose character is shaped by broad upland farmland and the changing conditions of the mountain slope. This village in Gunma Prefecture lies east of the Tone River valley, in an area where fields and small settlements spread across the Akagi Plateau. Agriculture is central to local life, with the cool inland setting supporting vegetable cultivation and konjac production associated with Gunma. Showa was formed in 1958 through the merger of the former villages of Kuroho and Itonose.
