Ichinomiya, Core city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Ichinomiya is a city in Aichi Prefecture that spreads across the western part of the region, crossed by the Kiso and Gojō rivers. Residential neighborhoods and commercial areas alternate in the urban landscape, extending on both sides of the waterways.
The city was officially established in the mid-20th century through the merger of several smaller towns. Its economic development relied on the textile industry, which flourished in the region since the 19th century.
The name comes from Masumida Shrine, which served as the main shrine of Owari Province during feudal times. In summer, people from the surrounding area gather for the Tanabata Festival, celebrated with colorful decorations and festival stalls along the central streets.
The two railway stations, Owari-Ichinomiya and Meitetsu Ichinomiya, offer regular connections to Nagoya and other key destinations in central Japan. Bicycles are easy to rent and work well for exploring the flat neighborhoods along the rivers.
Former wool mills have been converted into cultural facilities and community spaces, preserving the old industrial architecture. The textile industry still shapes the cityscape today, even though many factories have lost their original function.
