Handa City is in the middle of the Chita Peninsula and has prospered since the Edo period through brewing of vinegar and sake and through shipping. Highlights include rows of black-boarded storehouses along the canal and the Handa Red Brick Building. It is the hometown of Niimi Nankichi, author of "Gon, the Little Fox," and float festivals are lively.
