Japanese: 幸手[市] - さって

A city in eastern Saitama prefecture. It was incorporated as a city in 1986. It is located in the alluvial lowlands of the Shonai Yoshikawa and Furutone Rivers. The city center developed as a post town where the Nikko Kaido and Nikko Onari Kaido roads meet. The Tobu Nikko Line and the Ken-O Expressway pass through the city, and industries such as machinery, plastics, publishing and printing are carried out here. The surrounding area was once covered with large rice paddies, but as factories and houses have increased and urbanization has progressed, there has been a shift towards suburban agriculture, with the introduction of horticulture and other types of cultivation. Area: 33.93 ^km2 . Population: 54,012 (2010).
