Kanatari

Kanatari [笹衒; かなたり / Sunpaku: ちょぶ] is a city located in southern coastal Zōhai Prefecture. As of 2022, it has a population of around 40,000.
Kanatari served as a commercial centre of fishing in Miwara Bay for many centuries, and has been something of a bedroom community for the neighbouring cities of Shitori, Nasamazu and Myōri for decades. Historically, Kanatari was the home of ataran, the native and traditional performing arts of the Summui, and often hosted dance and music festivals which continue to this day. The city is home to several gambling parlours, as well as a famous skate and BMX ramp under the Misai Expressway. There is a large shopping complex in the city centre.
Kanatari's economy is significantly supplemented by tourism, especially during autumn and winter, and its cultural and historical wealth make it a very interesting city for those who wish to learn more about the Summui culture. Kanatari is a producer of tea and various herbs and spices. There is also a sizeable manufacturing industry present in the city, and its retail sector is one of the biggest in Zōhai. Although fishing was once a large part of the local economy, less than 6% of the population are still involved with commercial fishing.
