Ama

The Nōbi Plain defines the setting of Ama — its level, densely settled terrain places the city within the urban and agricultural belt west of Nagoya. Created in 2010 through the merger of Jimokuji, Miwa and Shippō, Ama brings together communities whose identities predate the modern municipality. The Shippō district is associated with Shippō-yaki, cloisonné enamelware made by applying coloured enamel to metalwork; a local museum documents this regional craft. Jimokuji Temple, a longstanding Buddhist site, provides another historic focal point. Rail connections towards Nagoya make Ama a useful place from which to explore the wider Owari area.
