Aichi prefecture with Nagoya metropolis in the area has the fourth largest prefectural population following Tokyo, Kanagawa and Osaka. Aichi is well-known as a place where a lot of feudal warlords, including Ieyasu Tokugawa of the Edo Shogunate, had been produced. Today, the automobile industry including Toyota Motors is concentrated in the area. In Gifu prefecture, the manufacturing industry is active from old times.
Ishikawa prefecture has a historical castle town, Kanazawa, commonly known as "Kaga Hyakumangoku" (the land giving one million sacs of rice every year) in old times. There, gold leaf craftwork and lacquer ware are flourishing. A newly opened airport in Noto has dramatically improved access to transportation so that future development of the area is expected.
