Hekinan, Coastal city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Hekinan extends across 36.68 square kilometers at the mouth of Yahagi River, bordered by Lake Aburagafuchi, Kinuura Bay, and Mikawa Bay.
The area functioned as part of Numazu Domain during the Edo period, with portions directly controlled by the shogunate as tenryo territory.
The city maintains traditional breweries that produce white soy sauce, mirin rice wine, and miso soybean paste following centuries-old methods.
The Meitetsu Mikawa Line and Kinuura Rinkai Railway connect Hekinan to major transport networks, while National Route 247 serves road transportation needs.
Hekinan Thermal Power Station ranks among the largest thermal power facilities globally, contributing substantially to the region's energy infrastructure.
