【愛知県】名古屋に次ぐ「No.2都市」はどこ？愛知を裏から支える最強の街が判明！豊田、岡崎、豊橋、一宮、春日井

This time, we'll consider which city in Aichi Prefecture is the "No. 2 city" after Nagoya. Nagoya City is undoubtedly the center of Aichi Prefecture. However, when asked which city is the next most prosperous after Nagoya, it's not easy to determine based solely on population. Potential candidates include Toyota City, Okazaki City, Toyohashi City, Ichinomiya City, and Kasugai City. Toyota City is one of Japan's leading manufacturing cities, boasting overwhelming economic power centered around Toyota Motor Corporation. Toyohashi City, as the center of Higashi-Mikawa, is an independent regional hub with Shinkansen bullet trains, streetcars, Mikawa Port, and agriculture. Okazaki City has a historical brand as the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu and possesses comprehensive strength as a core city in Nishi-Mikawa. Ichinomiya City is a suburban city with good access to Nagoya and is known for its Bishu textiles and morning-style dining culture. Kasugai City is a stable residential city close to Nagoya and has unique characteristics such as cacti. When comparing Aichi Prefecture's No. 2 city from various perspectives—population, economic power, transportation, history, livability, and dependence on Nagoya—the ranking varies greatly depending on the criteria.
