Okaya

The city spreads across the Suwa Basin between mountains, containing numerous manufacturing facilities and residential districts connected by efficient transportation networks.

The region transformed from an agricultural settlement into an official city in 1936, developing as a center for textile production and technological manufacturing.

Local festivals throughout the year include the summer Okaya Fireworks Festival, which draws thousands of spectators to watch displays over Lake Suwa.

The central train station provides direct connections to major cities, while multiple bus routes facilitate transportation across residential and commercial districts.

Okaya combines industrial heritage with natural surroundings, as manufacturing plants operate near mountain trails and traditional temples in the city limits.
