City where people and nature are one

Sukagawa City is located near the center of Fukushima Prefecture. It extends east and west across the route 4, and the urban districts expand to a hilly terrain which extends northeast.

Sukagawa City has commanding views of the Nasu mountain range in the western area and the mountain ranges of the Abukuma region in the eastern area. The Abukuma River and the Shakado River run through the center of Sukagawa City.

The climate is mild and the land is fertile here. Sukagawa has developed as a commercial city where supplies were gathered and distributed as abundant crops were harvested. The central part of the city is a hub of activity where the homes possess character and tradition with a refined sense of taste. However, there are parks for relaxation, and Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples provide a sense of calmness within the city. Above all, the Sukagawa Peony Garden is the proudest boast of the citizens.

Human beings and nature are in mild ensemble here in Sukagawa, "The City of flowers and greenery". All the citizens of Sukagawa City are buckling to open up a new possibility for our city. The curtain rose on March 20, 1993. Fukushima Airport was open in the eastern part of the city, which was long expected by all the citizens.

With the opening of Fukushima Airport on March 20, 1993 came the opening of new doors for the city. Sukagawa changed from "The City of flowers and greenery" to "The Airport City of flowers and greenery". Sukagawa City aims at the development with a balance of the whole city, and we are striving to construct an affluent city where human beings and nature co-exist including the airport as the core to the city.
