Tahara

Set along Mikawa Bay on the Atsumi Peninsula, Tahara is a city whose character is shaped by its sheltered northern shore and open Pacific coast. The municipality extends to Cape Irago, where the Irago Channel separates the Atsumi Peninsula from the Chita Peninsula and ferry routes link the area with Mie Prefecture. Tahara is among Japan’s important flower-growing areas, with greenhouses and fields forming a familiar part of its agricultural economy. Tahara Castle recalls the city’s past as a castle town, while the Edo-period painter and scholar Watanabe Kazan, born here, remains a key local cultural figure.
