Takemugi

Takemugi [竹港; たけむぎ / Sunpaku: あけんなお] is a city located on the island of Dainan in Zōhai Prefecture. As of 2020, the city had a population of roughly 112,000.
Takemugi was the original capital of the Summui Kingdom for several centuries and was much larger than it is now, taking up the majority of the southern coast of Dainan. However, it was supplanted by Nasamazu in the late 14th or early 15th century. The first known king of the Summui, Anbako, ruled from Takemugi, as did his son and grandson. Until the 1600s, Takemugi Castle [also known as Anwan Castle] was the largest on the island, but was overtaken by Niwanaji Castle in 1667. It has survived to the modern day and now contains the tombs of several kings of the Summui Kingdom.
== Economy ==
The city is a significant producer of naranō, a type of potato grown by the shore in sandy soil, which is often used in traditional Summui cuisine. While the naranō remains the chief product of Ginowan, agriculture has greatly declined in the city starting from the 1950s. Like other municipalities on Dainan island, the city has a large horticultural industry. Takemugi is also known for fishing and light manufacture.
== Local attractions ==
Takemugishi Beach is considered one of the most picturesque beaches on Dainan, and even the sights of the abandoned Takemugi Harbour are rather scenic. In the inner city, there are many specialty seafood restaurants which offer regional cuisine to tourists, and Takemugi Central Park is a well-tended and peaceful green space in the city centre.
