Chiryu, Transportation hub in Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Chiryu stretches across 16.31 square kilometers in central Aichi Prefecture, bordered by the Aizuma River to the north and Sawatari River to the south.
The city gained prominence as Chiryu-Juku, the 39th post town on the Tokaido highway connecting Edo with Kyoto during the Edo period in Japan.
The Chiryu Festival, celebrated annually on May 2 and 3, features traditional Bunraku and Karakuri puppet performances atop parade floats at Chiryu Jinja Shrine.
Visitors can access the city center within five minutes from Chiryu Station on the Meitetsu Nagoya Line, which connects to major transportation networks.
The city maintains 158 replanted pine trees along the former Tokaido route, representing the historical path where travelers walked between Edo and Kyoto.
