Mitsuke, City administration center in Niigata Prefecture, Japan

Mitsuke extends over 77 square kilometers of land divided by the Kariyata River into northern and southern districts near the Shinano River.

During the Edo period, the territory of Mitsuke divided between three domains: Nagaoka, Muramatsu, and Shibata under the Tokugawa administration.

The transition from silk weaving to synthetic fabrics production marks the industrial evolution of Mitsuke while maintaining agricultural activities.

The city connects to other regions through the JR East Shin'etsu Main Line railway and National Route 8 highway transportation networks.

Mitsuke holds the distinction of being the smallest city in Niigata Prefecture, with a population density of 510 persons per square kilometer.
