The Shoryudo has been a cornerstone of Japan's industry,
ranging from the traditional arts such as carpentry, ceramics,
textiles, and food commodities since ancient times.
Nowadays, there are also many other industries along the Shoryudo,
including car manufacturing,
which makes it the strongest industrial area in Japan.
For this reason, the Shoryudo has
become the best region to tour Japan's manufacturing industry.
