Suzuka, Administrative city in Mie Prefecture, Japan
Description
Suzuka is a city in Mie Prefecture that stretches across the northeastern part of the prefecture, connecting residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, and forested hills. The roads run from the coastal plain to gentle slopes where rice paddies and small temples sit among modern buildings.
History
The area served as an administrative center in the 8th century and stood along the historic road between the old capitals. In the 17th century, the territory became part of a local domain and grew into a trading hub for rice and tea.
Culture
The automotive culture shapes the cityscape and appears in the many local workshops and stores that draw motorsport fans from across the region. On weekends, locals gather along the streets to watch vintage car parades and small races held throughout the year.
Practical
Rail lines connect the city with Nagoya to the north and Osaka to the west, allowing visitors to reach larger cities in about an hour. Expressways also run through the area and make it easier to arrive by car from different directions.
Did you know?
In the mountains north of the city, pine trees are burned to extract soot for making black ink, a technique practiced for over a thousand years. Some workshops open their doors to visitors and show how the charcoal is ground and mixed with glue to form solid sticks.
