Aichi Prefecture, located in central Honshu, is at the core of Japan's manufacturing sector, which accounts for an impressive 35% of the prefecture’s GDP, according to official figures. Renowned as the nation’s manufacturing hub, Aichi hosts a diverse range of industries, including automotive giants like Toyota. It also leads the nation in the volume of goods shipped, solidifying its role as a critical driver of Japan's economic and industrial success.
