Tsushima

Tsushima is a city in Aichi Prefecture that sits on flat terrain between the Kiso and Nikko Rivers. It forms part of the Nobi Plain, an industrial area shaped by manufacturing and regional commerce.

The city was officially established in 1947 from the merger of several settlements in the Ama District. This consolidation marked the transition from agricultural communities to a more industrial urban area.

The Tsushima Shrine has shaped community life since the 8th century and draws visitors to seasonal festivals held throughout the year. You can observe how local residents gather here for important celebrations and daily spiritual practices.

The city connects easily to Nagoya through regular train service on the Kansai Main Line at JR Central Tsushima Station. Most attractions and neighborhoods are walkable or accessible by local transport.

Local craftspeople produce specialized paper products used in religious ceremonies throughout central Japan, a skill passed down through generations. This work remains largely unknown to visitors but represents a distinctive craft tradition.
