Nagakute, Administrative city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
Nagakute is a city in Aichi Prefecture in the Chūbu region of central Japan, stretching across gentle hills west of Nagoya. Residential neighborhoods spread between wooded slopes and open valleys, while parks and green spaces break up the built-up areas.
The Battle of Komaki and Nagakute took place here in 1584 between Hashiba Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, influencing the course of Japanese history. The city received its official status in the second half of the 20th century and developed from a rural community into a residential area in the Nagoya metropolitan region.
The Toyota Automobile Museum preserves 140 vehicles from different periods, showing technical development across multiple generations. This collection reflects the central role of the automobile industry in the region, which continues to shape economic life today.
The Linimo monorail and several train connections provide direct transport links between the city and central Nagoya, with a journey time of around 45 minutes. Visitors cycling around will find some steeper sections in the hills, while main roads are mostly easy to navigate.
In 2020, the average age of residents stood at around 40 years, making the city one of the youngest communities in the entire country. This demographic feature shows itself in daily life through many playgrounds, schools, and recreational facilities for families.
