Chita
Few places in Aichi Prefecture have a history as closely tied to cotton-textile production as Chita. The city occupies the western side of the Chita Peninsula, where low coastal ground meets Ise Bay; its shoreline supports ports and industry, while residential districts and farmland spread inland. Okada, an older quarter of Chita, developed as a commercial centre for Chita cotton and retains traditional merchant buildings along its streets. The wider peninsula is also associated with brewing and food-making traditions, including sake and vinegar. Chita is now part of the urban and industrial belt south of Nagoya, yet the bay, smaller waterways and older town districts give it a distinctly local structure.
