Culture
Extensive brewing of foods and drinks began in ancient times. Sake, vinegar, miso, and
tamari brewing techniques were refined during the Edo (1868-1912) and Meiji (1868-1912) periods.
Many breweries still utilize traditional wooden tools. Come visit Chita’s breweries.
POTTERY
Gentle green hills upon soft clay layers define most of the Chita Peninsula’s land. Potters
discovered that its iron-rich soil produces a smooth, vermillion color when fired. Chita artists
have been producing pottery for a millennium. The Japanese government lists Tokoname
pottery as an Important Intangible Cultural Property.
TOKONAME
For over 300 years, residents have celebrated the Shiohi-matsuri feature, faithfully following
its traditions. In 2016, this feature's history and celebrations were registered as a UNESCO
Intangible Cultural Heritage. During this magnificent feature, locals pull five intricately carved
and decorated floats into the sea at low tide
Residents of Japan consider Chita beef, figs, orchids, and chickens to be top-quality agricultural products, so they visit Chita farms to pick fruit and flowers and eat in local restaurants.
Located in the center of Japan, it has long flourished as a strategic point for transportation and logistics. The sea also brings abundant harvests. Fertile bays nurture fish, seaweed, and other marine products. Fishing and marine sports are also popular.
