Iruma

Iruma has been a tea-producing centre in Saitama Prefecture since the Edo period. The city lies on the Iruma River in the western part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, where low uplands and cultivated fields contrast with the dense capital nearby. It is closely associated with Sayama tea, a celebrated Japanese green tea whose production extends across southwestern Saitama; local tea shops and seasonal harvests keep that tradition present in everyday life. Iruma Air Base, operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, is another defining local presence and hosts an annual air festival.
