As of August 1, 2009, the city has an estimated population of 99,307 and a population density of 299 persons per km². The total area is 331.82 km². The modern city of Azumino was established on October 1, 2005, from the merger of the town of Akashina (from Higashichikuma District), the towns of Hotaka and Toyoshina, and the villages of Horigane and Misato (all from Minamiazumi District). The city's population is near 100,000 people and it is the 6th most populous in Nagano Prefecture. Azumino is home to the world's largest wasabi farm, Daio Wasabi Farm.〔http://welcome.city.matsumoto.nagano.jp/contents03+index.id+15.htm〕 ==Etymology of Azumino== Azumino is a combination of two words, "Azumi" and "no". "Azumi" comes from the Azumi people, who are said to have moved to the "no" (plain) in ancient times. The Azumi people originally lived in northern Kyushu, and were famed for their skills in fishing and navigation. "The Azumi people" can be translated as "the people who live on the sea." The reason why the seafaring people migrated to this mountainous region is a mystery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Azumino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
