Formed through a merger in 2006, Joso City is dotted with many businesses due to its proximity to central Tokyo. Its economy is primarily driven by agriculture, supplying Tokyo. Udon noodles, dumplings, rice, and other products are cultivated here. Many historical buildings and locations have been used as filming locations for period dramas. The Joso Kinugawa Fireworks Festival showcases fireworks that make the most of sound. The annual fireworks display, which features 7,000 fireworks, attracts not only Joso City residents but also visitors from all over Japan. Yoshino Park is a popular fishing spot and a great place to view cherry blossoms in spring, attracting people of all ages.
