Bundo

Bundo [咕個; ぶんど] is a city located in Shinkō Prefecture. As of 2020, it has a population of roughly 25,000. 
Bundo, along with its sister city Kōzo, has historically been a farming township focused on agriculture, horticulture and the growing of tea plants. While Bundo is traditionally associated within the prefecture as a producer of green tea, Kōzo is known for brewing the tea and producing a special local blend. 
Bundo was planned to be merged with the neighbouring city of Onsan in 1994, however, this idea was strongly opposed by residents of Bundo who wanted to keep their local identity and distinction. 
== Economy ==
Bundo has a mixed economy of light manufacturing and agriculture. It is the largest producer of green tea plants in northern Kanton, and one of the leading producers of ceramics in the prefecture. There is a large public farmers' market, focusing on the sale of fruits and vegetables, which takes place every June in the city centre.
Various suppliers to the automotive industry have production plants around Bundo. 
== Geography ==
Bundo is located between the cities of Meikai and Onsan, and borders Kōzo, Heisan and Shitai. It was established on a large flat area of land known as the Mondzu Plain, which overlaps with the southern ward of Meikai.
== Local attractions ==
The annual Bundo Lantern Festival is held every October and can attract up to 5,000 visitors to the city.
