Shitara

Shitara extends across 273 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in northeastern Aichi Prefecture, with forests covering substantial portions of its territory.

The area functioned as tenryō territory under direct Tokugawa shogunate control during the Edo period before establishing its current municipal structure in 1956.

Local agricultural traditions maintain strong connections through the cultivation of regional produce including rice, tomatoes, cabbage, and daikon in the mountain fields.

The town provides essential services to 4,531 residents across 2,133 households while maintaining connections to larger urban centers through regional transportation networks.

The designation of portions of Shitara within Tenryū-Okumikawa Quasi-National Park preserves natural mountain landscapes and forest environments for future generations.
