TOYOHASHI CITY GUIDE:
Toyohashi City is located in the southeastern corner of Aichi Prefecture, and is both the cultural and industrial center of the East Mikawa area.
Aichi is centrally located on the main Japanese island of Honshu, and was host to many of the great feudal warlords who shaped the history of Japan. In modern times, many great companies are headquartered in Aichi, including Toyota Motor Corporation, Nippon Sharyo (railway rolling stock manufacturer) and Noritake (tableware manufacturer).
As one of Japan’s ‘core cities’, Toyohashi has everything you’d expect to find in a major city, but it maintains a friendliness, as well as a love of Japanese tradition, that bigger cities often forget.
Toyohashi has a mild climate, a low cost of living and is within easy reach of Nagoya, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe by Shinkansen bullet train.
TAHARA CITY GUIDE:
Tahara (田原市, Tahara-shi) is a city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. As of 1 October 2019, the city had an estimated population of 60,206 in 22,576 households, and a population density of 315 persons per km2. The total area of the city is 191.12 square kilometres (73.79 sq mi).
Tahara is a regional commercial center with a mixed economy of manufacturing and agriculture. Due to its long coastline, Tahara has many ports for commercial fishing.
Tahara is situated in southern Aichi Prefecture, and occupies most of the hilly Atsumi Peninsula. The peninsula is bounded on the north by Mikawa Bay and to the south lies the Philippine Sea. Situated as it is between those two bodies of water, Tahara has a warm maritime climate.
The main industrial employer is Toyota Motor Corporation, which has its award-winning Tahara plant in Tahara which makes many Lexus-brand cars and some Toyota models. The Toyota Celica was manufactured in Tahara from 1979 to 1999. Many Lexus models are manufactured within this plant, as are many Toyota models for domestic and international markets.
Tahara has a consortium of companies investing in renewable energy needs. As of November 2014, a new solar energy and wind energy power generation facility will provide 19,000 households with electricity on an infrequent basis that is dependent upon the weather. JERA operates the Atsumi Thermal Power Station, an oil-fired power plant with capacity of 1400 MW in Tahara.
