Sakashizu

Sakashizu [坂亲 さかしず] is a city located in southern Kōfu Prefecture. As of 2022, it had a population of around 30,000. 
Sakashizu is located at the border between Kuyama and Kōfu Prefectures, and is essentially a suburb of the wider Kanyū urban area. The entire city is located on the Eiho Plain, with the Tadama River running through the western part of the city, and the Fusei River running through the eastern part of the city. Sakashizu is one of the centres of tea and izan production in the prefecture, producing over 90,000 gallons of izan each year on average.
Fukōgo Printing has a large factory in Sakashizu, which is also home to a number of other light manufacturing, electronics and transportation/warehousing companies. However, due to its proximity to Kanyū, over a third of the workforce commutes daily, making Sakashizu largely a bedroom community.
