Handa, Industrial city in Chita Peninsula, Japan

Located in southwestern Aichi Prefecture, Handa extends across 47 square kilometers along Chita Bay, maintaining connections with the Pacific Ocean through its port.

The city emerged from the merger of Handa and Kamezaki municipalities in 1937, developing from an Edo-period commercial port into a modern industrial center.

The annual Okkawamatsuri Festival and Kamesaki Festival display traditional performances, connecting residents with centuries-old Japanese celebrations and customs.

Two rail lines, the Taketoyo Line and Meitetsu Kowa Line, connect Handa to Nagoya, facilitating transportation for its 118,000 residents and visitors.

The headquarters of Mizkan Vinegar Group operates in Handa, continuing the city's long tradition of producing soy sauce and fermented products.
