Nasushiobara

Nasushiobara extends across 592 square kilometers of mountainous terrain at the northernmost point of the Kanto region, bordering Fukushima Prefecture.

The region transformed from uninhabited wasteland into a developed area through irrigation projects during the Edo Period and agricultural initiatives in the Meiji era.

The city maintains twenty public elementary schools and ten middle schools, preserving educational traditions while supporting modern dairy production and tourism.

Visitors can access the city through JR East Tohoku Shinkansen train services and multiple national highways connecting to major urban centers.

The winter season brings substantial snowfall to Nasushiobara, where the average annual temperature remains at 12.1 degrees Celsius.
