Shitai

Shitai [尔栏; したい] is a city located in Shinkō Prefecture. As of 2020, the city has a population of around 12,000, making it the second-smallest in the entire prefecture.
Historically the area of Shitai consisted of a number of fishing townships and villages, and was governed as part of a larger area which it shared with modern-day Bundo and Kōzo. This fishing industry is still alive in the economy of the city today, although its profitability has been in steady decline since the 1970s. Shitai is known for its production and cultivation of shellfish, particularly oysters and whelks, and its cultivation of natural pearls in Kishindai Harbour.
