What is Habataki City like?

A pleasant commuter town with a population of about 500,000, surrounded by the sea to the east and mountains to the west, with a warm climate and scenic views. Habataki Station is located in the city center, and a bustling downtown area spreads out around it. Along the mountainside, there is also a large park, and the surrounding area is a quiet, peaceful residential neighborhood.

Habataki Private Academy is located on a small hill to the southeast of Habataki Station.

In addition, most of the initial development was completed in the 1980s. Later, as part of a new development plan, a portion of the sea was reclaimed and the coastal area was redeveloped as a waterfront city. In 2000, the coastal park and shopping mall were completed in part of this area, attracting attention as new landmarks.
