Kanuma, Industrial center in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan
Located at the eastern foot of the Ashio Mountains, Kanuma extends across 490 square kilometers with a population density of 190 persons per square kilometer.
The city emerged from its status as a castle town managing 25,000 koku during the Edo period and received official city designation on October 10, 1948.
The traditional market heritage of Kanuma reflects in its current industrial focus on lumber, furniture, rope manufacturing, and agricultural production of strawberries and soba.
Travelers reach Kanuma through JR East's Nikko Line, Tobu Railway's Tobu Nikko Line, or via the Tohoku Expressway's Kanuma Interchange.
The city produces Kanuma-tsuchi, a specialized gardening soil used throughout Japan for its agricultural properties and effectiveness in plant cultivation.
