Kakuda, Administrative center in southeastern Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
Kakuda spans across 147 square kilometers of terrain, with the Abukuma River flowing through its industrial and residential districts and agricultural fields.
The establishment of Kakuda as a modern municipality in 1889 marked the beginning of its transformation from a rural settlement into an urban center.
Each season brings traditional celebrations to Kakuda, with local residents gathering at temples and community spaces to maintain centuries-old customs and rituals.
The JAXA Kakuda Space Center, elementary schools, middle schools, and various manufacturing facilities create employment opportunities for the 28,539 residents.
Local farmers in Kakuda maintain specialized cultivation methods for soybeans and plums, contributing to the agricultural output of Miyagi Prefecture.
