Sumie

Sumie [水善 すみえ] is a city located in northern Mikei Prefecture, on the Hamae border. As of 2022, it has a population of around 52,000. 
Sumie is situated on the east banks of the Meisu River, below the foothills of Mount Onihara. Due to its proximity to the larger neighbouring city of Mizakemachi, it has developed into a bedroom community. One of the city's main attractions is Sumie Temple, a grand and lavishly-decorated building dating back to the early 11th century, which is believed in local legend to have been the birthplace of the famed konbūshin Omiya no Amatoshi. To the north of the city centre, the ruins of Sunogano Castle remain. Another major attraction is Sumie Hot Spring.
As it was once located on the border with Daimi Province, Sumie was known as a koman from the 1400s up until the 1800s.
