Tokoname
Tokoname is located on the western coast of the Chita Peninsula in southern Aichi Prefecture, facing Ise Bay.In the post Meiji Restoration cadastral reforms of 1889, the town of Tokoname was created with the establishment of the modern municipalities system.Tokoname has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral city legislature of 18 members.Chubu Centrair International Airport, built on an artificial island off the coast of Tokoname, opened on February 17, 2005, providing a major boost to local development.The chimneys became a landmark of the town, but many were closed and taken down after the Second World War as production methods modernised and burning of ovens was regulated by the authorities to protect the air quality.
