Sakae, Mountain village in Shimominochi district, Japan
Sakae extends across 271 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in northeastern Nagano Prefecture, bordering Gunma Prefecture and Niigata Prefecture.
The village emerged from the consolidation of Minochi and Sakai villages on September 30, 1956, as part of Japan's municipal system reorganization.
The village maintains traditional Japanese rural practices while managing life in an area that receives substantial snowfall during winter months.
The JR Iiyama Line provides rail transportation through the northern section of Sakae, with stations at Shinano-Shiratori, Hirataki, Yokokura, and Mori-Miyanohara.
The name of this village reached astronomical recognition when minor planet 22885 received the designation Sakaemura in its honor.
