Chita

Chita is a city located on the Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture, situated across a flat coastal landscape. The city features a mix of residential neighborhoods, local shopping areas, and traditional districts connected by accessible streets.

The city formed in 1955 through the merger of three towns, then received its official city status in 1970. This transformation established it as an administrative center for the peninsula.

The Okada district preserves centuries of cotton production heritage through traditional wooden structures from the Edo and Meiji periods. Walking through this area, you can sense how weaving and textile work once shaped daily life here.

The city is easily reached via the Meitetsu Tokoname Line with convenient stations throughout the area. The flat terrain makes exploring by foot or bicycle straightforward and enjoyable.

The Souri district is home to thousands of plum trees that bloom in late winter and early spring. During this season, the white and pink flowers draw people who come to experience the yearly plum festival celebration.
