Hadakayama

Hadakayama [裸山; はだかやま] is a city located in south-central Uchi Prefecture. As of 2022, it has a population of around 75,000. The city's name translates literally as 'bare mountain', in reference to the nearby Mount Niryō and its distinctive scree-covered slopes.
Hadakayama was one of the first settlements in Uchi Prefecture (Fuzai Oniru) to be developed into a port town, although it eventually lost this purpose as its neighbour Urachi flourished and became more prominent through the 1400s. Its economy had turned to focus on fishing and agriculture, along with dairy farming, by the 16th century. By 1615, iron was being mined from the slopes of the Niryō Mountains in Hadakayama's northern ward, and this new industry was instrumental in boosting the development of the city as a whole.

Due to the characteristics of the land, Hadakayama has the highest rate of onion and haricot bean production in Kanton. Scallop fishing also flourishes, and has earned the city the nickname of sukaro-umada or 'scallops' birthplace'. Abundant sunlight and fertile soil support the production of diverse produce, including rice, wheat, barley, potatoes, beet, and beans as well as dairy products, beef, and pork.
Hadakayama is also known for its production of beer under the company Nirenzan Ltd., which is prized nationally for its rich and satisfying flavour.
