Ido

Ido [阳個; いど] is a city located in southern Aoma Prefecture. As of 2020, it had a population of around 31,000.
Ido lies in the southern foothills of the Aomaki Hills, just below the hillside village of Mesama. Although the two municipalities shared a similar number of residents for centuries and were considered sister townships, the flat landscape on which Ido sits allowed its area to expand further, and thus more farmland became available, increasing the population and economy.
The area of Ido was part of the holdings of the Ran clan, who held land in -- Prefecture as well. In 1505, two years after the Daima had captured the Ran-occupied city of Yōshō, they moved southward to take Ido next. The Battle of Ido went on for some months, but finally the township was won by the Daima, expanding the Aoma territory slightly. Since then, Ido's economy has focused primarily on farming and agriculture, along with cattle rearing. It absorbed a number of tiny surrounding villages during the years.
Apples and rice are the staple crops which Ido exports, but green tea and potatoes are also produced. Ido beef is popular within the prefecture and neighbouring regions, since it is high quality but not expensive.
