The Aichi Prefecture ( Jap. 愛知県 , Aichi-ken ) is a prefecture of Japan . It is located in the Chūbu region on the island of Honshū . The seat of the prefecture administration is in Nagoya .

geography

Aichi Prefecture is located near the center of the Japanese chain of islands . In the south are the Ise and Mikawa Bay . Aichi is bordered by Shizuoka Prefecture to the east, Nagano Prefecture to the northeast , Gifu Prefecture to the north, and Mie Prefecture to the west . The prefecture measures 106 km from east to west and 94 km from north to south. Aichi has a total area of 5172.92 km² which corresponds to about 1.37% of the total area of Japan.

The outermost border points of the prefecture are:

in the north: 35 ° 25'30 - Inuyama city
in the east: 137 ° 50'17 "ö.L. - Toyone municipality (village)
in the south: 34 ° 34'41 "- City of Tahara
in the west: 136 ° 40'15 "east - town of Aisai

Historically and geographically, Aichi is divided into two parts. In the west is the Owari region ( 尾張地方 , Owari-chihō ) and in the east the Mikawa region ( 三河地方 , Mikawa-chihō ), which go back to the historical provinces of Owari and Mikawa . Owari consists of the Nōbi plain in the west - the second largest in Japan - created by the Kiso River , the Owari hill country in the east and the Chita Peninsula in the south. In contrast, Mikawa consists of little flat land, the Okazaki Plain in the southwest and the Toyohashi Plain with the Atsumi Peninsula as a continuation in the south. Most of Mikawa, however, consists of mountains, such as the Shitara Mountains ( 設楽山地 , Shitara-sanchi ) in the northeast and the Yana-Yumihari Mountains ( 八名・弓張山地 , Yana-Yumihari-sanchi ) in the southeast. In the northeast is the Chausuyama as the highest point of the prefecture with a height of 1415 m above sea level .

Due to the Kuroshio current, Aichi has a mild climate, with the Nōbi plain tending to be warmer. In the eastern part, more precipitation falls due to the mountainous character.

history

The area of today's Aichi Prefecture was divided by the provinces Owari and Mikawa in the Japanese Middle Ages . Favored by the favorable location on the traffic route between the eastern provinces and the capital Nara or Kyōto , the region benefits from trade and very early became one of the dominant provinces on Honshū.

The Daimyō Oda Nobunaga (1534–1583) and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1535–1598), who shaped Japan significantly, came from Owari and Mikawa and ruled over the region. Tokugawa Ieyasu from Okazaki in Mikawa rose to power in 1600 after the Battle of Sekigahara. Ieyasu founded the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1602 , which lasted until the restoration. After the Meiji Restoration , the Han system was abolished and prefectures were established. The provinces of Owari and Mikawa were combined to form Aichi Prefecture.

Today the former provincial names can still be seen in numerous place and train station names as well as on some number plates .

From March 25th to September 25th 2005 the Expo 2005 took place in the prefecture under the motto “Wisdom of Nature” . The exhibition areas were the cities of Seto and Nagakute .

Demographics

With around 7.4 million inhabitants (VZ 2010), Aichi ranks fourth among the most populous prefectures behind Tokyo, Kanagawa and Osaka. The growth rate between 2005 and 2010 was 2.2 percent. Some suburbs of Nagoya saw high growth rates in the early 2000s, the city of Nagakute also grew 11.9 percent between 2005 and 2010, while other parishes in the prefecture shrank double-digit percentages.

Aichi is the country's prefecture with the highest number of residents of Brazilian nationality.

Nagoya Prefectural Administration

Aichi's governor has been the former Shūgiin MP Hideaki Ōmura since February 2011 , who was elected against candidates from both major parties in 2011 . In February 2019 , with the support of LDP Aichi, DVP , KDP and Kōmeitō , he was confirmed for a third term of office against only one, CPY-supported opponent with over 83% of the vote. At 35.5%, voter turnout remained similarly low as in 2015.

In the Aichi prefecture parliament, the Liberal Democratic Party defended its absolute majority in the regional elections in April 2019 . The CPJ is no longer represented, and the Genzei Nippon of Nagoya's mayor Takashi Kawamura has returned to the prefecture parliament with a member.

Aichi is one of the financially strongest prefectures in the country. At times the “financial strength index ” ( 財政力指数 , zaiseiryoku shisū ) was above 1, i.e. H. Aichi was able to cover his theoretically necessary expenses entirely from his own tax resources and therefore received no more funds from the "regional allocation taxes " ( 地方交付税 , chihō-kōfu-zei ), which the central state transfers to financially weak prefectures.

Aichi was traditionally considered a stronghold of the center-left or center-right camp: the unions organized in the Dōmei trade union federation and the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP) associated with it . Since the 1990s, when the DSP was absorbed into the NFP and finally the Democratic Party, parts of Aichi and especially Nagoya were considered Minshu Ōkoku , "democratic kingdom", that is, the stronghold of the Democratic Party.

In the national parliament , Aichi is represented by 15 directly elected members in the Shūgiin and eight in the Sangiin . The 15 Shūgiin constituencies in Aichi are (as of August 2019) represented by eight Liberal Democrats, three People's Democrats, three Constitutional Democrats and a non-party former Progressive Democrat in the Shakaihoshō o tatenaosu kokumin kaigi faction . After the 2016 and 2019 elections and the party reshuffle since then (as of August 2019), Aichi has two members each from LDP, DVP, KDP and Kōmeitō in the Sangiin .

economy

traffic

The largest railway company in Aichi is the JR Central as part of the Japan Railways group and the private railway Meitetsu . Aichi is connected to the Japanese high-speed rail network via the Tokaido Shinkansen . Shinkansen stations are in Nagoya , Toyohashi and Mikawa- Anjō .

The motorway network is dense, but due to the high traffic density it is also heavily used. Aichi has the most traffic accidents in Japan after Hokkaidō . The most important are the Tōmei (Tokyo-Nagoya), Meishin (Nagoya-Kobe) and Chūō (Nagoya-Nagano-Tokyo) expressways . In 2005, the Isewangan motorway (Toyota-Yokkaichi) and the Tōkai-Kanjō motorway (Toyota-Gifu) opened and by 2014 the expansion of the Shin-Tōmei motorway (Tokyo-Toyota) in the prefecture should be completed.

On February 17, 2005, the new Chūbu Airport (Chubu-Kokusai-Kuko) opened. The former major airport in Nagoya (Komaki Airport) is now only used for regional flights.

Administrative division

With the introduction of the modern communities in 1889, the Aichi prefecture consisted of an independent city, 23 small towns and 624 villages (in 19 districts). Through incorporations and mergers, the number of communities fell from 264 (1920) to 127 (1955) to 88 in 2000. Since 2012, the prefecture has consisted of 38 independent cities ( Shi ), 14 small towns ( Chō ) and two villages ( Mura ), the latter summarized in seven counties. Three of these districts consist of only one municipality each.

Of the 38 independent cities, five cities have special rights:

Nagoya as the prefecture capital is at the same time a "government-designed city" ( 政令指定都市 , Seirei shitei toshi )
Okazaki, Toyohashi and Toyota are "core cities" ( 中核市 , Chūkakushi )
Ichinomiya and Kasugai are "special cities" ( 特例市 , Tokureishi )

In the table below, the districts ( 郡 , Gun ) are shown in italics, below each (indented) the small towns ( 町 , Chō ) and villages ( 村 , Mura ) within them. A dependency between rural district and small town can also be seen in the first three digits of the code (1st column). At the beginning of the table are the independent cities ( 市 , Shi ).
