Shitori

Shitori [しとり / Sunpaku: しふぁり] is a city located in southern Zōhai Prefecture. As of 2020 it had an estimated population of around 140,000, making it the second-most populated settlement in the prefecture.
Shitori lies in the northern part of the Miwara Valley, bordering the capital city Nasamazu, and acting as a hub of employment and commerce for a number of smaller cities and towns around it. It has numerous sites pertaining to the ancient Shinryō religion, and as a whole Shitori has numerous historically significant sites, including Uda Castle and the Shitori Watchtower. 
To the north, Shitori is bordered by the Toruhara Mountains and the adjacent Doshō range further east, which serves as a natural border between Nasamazu. Two rivers flow through Shitori; the Hyōsu and the northern section of the Miwara. For centuries these two freshwater sources have provided vital irrigation for crops. 
== Economy ==
Shitori, due to its large amount of arable irrigated land, is noted for several agricultural products. The city, like many areas of southern Zōhai, produces blueberries and other cold-climate fruits such as apples and cherries. Cultivation of flowering plants, notably heather and lavender, is a relatively new horticultural addition to the city's economy. Land improvement has made small-scale rice production possible. Pigs have been raised in Shitori since the 1920s.

Live music festivals have been a large part of Shitori culture since the 1970s, and the city was named by the popular Kantonese music magazine Pepper as one of the nation's best cities to perform for.
