Motomiya, Central Japanese city in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
Motomiya is a city in Fukushima Prefecture that sits between hills to the east and plains to the west. The Abukuma River flows through the middle, creating a natural division between these two contrasting landscapes.
The area was once part of ancient Mutsu Province and was known as Honmoku in earlier times. Its current name Motomiya comes from Adatara Jinja shrine located in the northern district, reflecting the shrine's historical importance.
Adatara Jinja shrine shapes how residents gather and celebrate, drawing people together during seasonal festivals and local events. This connection between the shrine and community life remains visible in daily routines and how neighborhoods come together.
The city is primarily agricultural, known for growing high-quality rice across different zones and elevations. Visitors will notice the contrast between the hilly eastern areas and the flatter western regions when exploring the municipality.
The city is home to Japan's first hydrogen station operating continuously, built by Air Liquide. This installation marks the region as a leader in sustainable energy infrastructure for the country.
