Nomori

Nomori [のもり / Sunpaku: のもり] is a town located in southern Uchi Prefecture. As of 2022, it has a population of around 15,000.
Nomori's name comes from the Uchimon dialect nomo meaning 'abundant' or 'rich' and the particle -ri, simply marking a place or thing. It is located beneath the Kidatsu Hills, with Mount Arui straddling its southern border with the small town of Chama. The Kaisui River flows through Nomori, providing natural irrigation for crops. However, the river is prone to flooding during the June-July rainy season, which can result in minor-scale evacuations of residents.
Along with white rice, much of Nomori's surrounding area is devoted to potato cultivation.
