Sukagawa, Commercial center in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
Located at 262 meters above sea level, Sukagawa extends across 279 square kilometers with a population of 76,000 residents in the heart of Fukushima Prefecture.
The settlement transformed from ancient Mutsu Province into a castle town during the Kamakura period, when the Nikaido clan established their fortress in this location.
The Taimatsu Akashi Festival brings together thousands of participants who carry large burning torches through the streets of Sukagawa according to centuries-old traditions.
The city connects to major transportation routes via the JR East Tohoku Main Line, Suigun Line, and Tohoku Expressway, facilitating travel throughout the Fukushima region.
Sukagawa maintains special ties with Luoyang, China, since 1983, fostering cultural exchanges and strengthening international relationships between both cities.
