Motomiya

Motomiya extends between hills in the east and plains in the west, with the Abukuma River dividing the municipality into two sections.

The area transformed from ancient Mutsu Province's Honmoku to Motomiya, deriving its name from Adatara Jinja shrine in the northern district.

The education system encompasses seven elementary schools, three junior high schools, and one public high school, serving multiple districts across the city.

The municipality maintains agricultural production, generating superior quality rice worth 1.6 billion yen through cultivation efforts in different zones.

Air Liquide selected Motomiya as the location for Japan's first continuous operation hydrogen station, advancing sustainable energy infrastructure in the region.
