Iga, Mie
Iga (伊賀市, Iga-shi) is a city located in Mie Prefecture, Japan. As of 31 August 2021[update], the city had an estimated population of 88,895 in 40,620 households and a population density of 160 persons per km². The total area of the city is 558.23 square kilometres (215.53 sq mi).
The area around the modern city of Iga corresponds to a portion of ancient Iga Province. The area was noted in the Sengoku period as one of the centers for ninjutsu. From around the 1460s until 1581, the province of Iga was an effectively autonomous confederation governed by a council of local ninja families. The town developed in the Edo period under the Tokugawa Shogunate as a castle town under Iga Ueno Castle. Iga is known as the birthplace of the haiku poet Matsuo Bashō and the home of the ninja Hattori Hanzō.
Iga is located in northwestern Mie Prefecture. The northeastern part of the city is in the Suzuka Mountains, and the northwestern part is in the Shigaraki Plateau. The southwestern section of the city is the Yamato Highlands, and the southeastern portion is a basin surrounded by the Nunobiki Mountains. The area is very hilly. Since it is on the upper reaches of the Kizu River, which belongs to the Yodo River system, and borders on Shiga, Nara, and Kyoto prefectures, although Mie prefecture is classified as part of the Tōkai region, the Iga region, including Nabari city, is designated as part of the Kansai region.
