Sabae, Manufacturing center in Fukui Prefecture, Japan
Located in central Fukui Prefecture, Sabae extends across 84.59 square kilometers of land between mountains and the Takefu basin.
The settlement grew around Buddhist Josho temple and transformed into a post town in 1720, leading to its establishment as a city in 1955.
The city maintains strong connections to traditional Japanese craftsmanship through its specialized production of silk textiles and decorative roof tiles.
Rail services on the Hokuriku Main Line and multiple national routes connect Sabae to major destinations throughout the Fukui region.
The city produces 95 percent of Japan's optical frames, with numerous manufacturing facilities operating in coordinated production processes.
