Eraba

Eraba [偉吐; えらば] is a city located in north-central Aoma Prefecture. As of 2020, it has an estimated population of 54,000. 
Eraba is located on a slightly hilly plain along the lowest slopes of the Migai Hills. The Era River flows through its northern ward. Although the city is 90% landlocked, its southern district has access to a small section of Aoma Bay, although no fishing industry ever developed in Eraba.
The economy of the city is heavily dependent on manufacturing and agriculture. Coal mining was once a lucrative industry during the 19th and 20th centuries, taking place near to Mount Ōkata, but quickly died away by the 1970s as resources depleted. The city is the location for various facilities of the Kanton Atomic Energy Agency.
