Nagai, City in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan
Nagai covers 214 square kilometers of land in western Yamagata Prefecture, with mountains surrounding its central residential and agricultural areas.
The area transformed from a village in 1889 to an official city in 1954, developing from an Edo period territory within the Yonezawa Domain.
The Flower Nagai Line railway connects the region through 30.5 kilometers of tracks, passing fields of iris, dahlia, lily, and rose gardens.
The city maintains six elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools, serving a population of approximately 26,466 residents.
Nagai maintains international relationships through sister city partnerships with Bad Säckingen in Germany and Shuangyashan in China since the 1980s.
