Kanie, Administrative town in Ama District, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Kanie is a town in Ama District, Aichi Prefecture, located where the Kiso River meets Ise Bay in a low-lying delta area. The settlement spreads across gently sloping land shaped by river channels and coastal features.
The area developed during the Edo period under Tokugawa administration as part of the Owari Domain and became an official municipality in 1889. A major earthquake in 1891 shifted the course of the town's growth.
The name Kanie comes from the crabs that once lived abundantly in these waters, showing how the natural world shaped the community's identity. This connection to local wildlife still influences how people understand their hometown.
The town is well served by railway lines from the Central Japan Railway Company and Kintetsu Railway, making it easy to reach. Visitors will find local services and facilities distributed throughout the area for everyday needs.
The 1891 earthquake became a turning point in the town's development and left lasting marks on local building and infrastructure. Despite merger proposals from neighboring areas, the town chose to remain independent and preserve its own identity.
