Hatai

Hatai [坤栏; はたい] is a city located in eastern Aoma Prefecture. As of 2020, it has a population of around 16,000. 
Hatai is located on a large, somewhat marshy plain which has been mostly drained; near to the city lies the Hatai Wetland, which has been designated as a nature reserve. Hatai borders Ganyama Prefecture, specifically the city of Hondan. Just outside the southern ward of the city stands Mount Keigawa, which is a large and isolated mountain.
Due to its coastal location, Hatai has flourished as a fishing town for many centuries and has produced many seafood and marine products such as sea cucumbers, seaweed, icefish, and herring. Granite mining has also taken place in the slopes of Mount Keigawa for many years, although this industry came to an end in the 1970s.
