Yorii, River town in Osato District, Japan
Yorii spans 64 square kilometers along the central reaches of the Arakawa River, approximately 70 kilometers from Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture.
The town developed from a post station on the pilgrimage route to Chichibu temples during the Kamakura period, later becoming a castle settlement.
The town maintains strong connections with Marysville, Ohio through sister city programs that facilitate cultural exchanges between Japanese and American communities.
Transportation needs are served by multiple rail lines, including the Chichibu Railway, Tobu Railway, and JR East's Hachiko Line connecting to major cities.
Honda operates a major automobile assembly facility in Yorii, contributing to the industrial development of this Saitama Prefecture municipality.
