It's a city where areas with robust urban functions and areas rich in nature are beautifully balanced. Tobu Railway runs through the city.

The Watarase Retarding Basin, where you can enjoy fishing, yachting, surfing, and more, is a popular spot, gaining popularity due to its registration under the Ramsar Convention.
