Kendo

Kendo [竺涨; けんど] is a city located in western Kawara Prefecture. As of 2020, it had an estimated population of around 118,000. 
Kendo was developed as a castle town in the 12th century and has been an agricultural centre since the mid-14th century. It is now the largest industrial city of the prefecture. Several large chemical plants produce fertilizer, medicines, and fibres. Tea is cultivated along the coast, and sweet potatoes, cereals, and tobacco are also grown. The city's economy depends strongly on the company Keiyū Yōkon, a producer of synthetic and industrial fibers. It is known regionally for its green tea variety, known as kendo-cha.
Kendo is bordered to the west by Mount Mizō, which is a popular spot for tourists. The mountain slopes offer hiking trails and panoramic views of the city and the surrounding Mizō Hills. Two rivers also travel through the city - the Takurako and the Nozoki. Another famous site in Kendo is a large statue of the famous monk Ikanami, which is 12 metres in height.
