Update 12: 桜の栞 | Sakura no Shiori (Mikawa)
Mikawa, also known as 1000 years capital city was the imperial capital of older Nakahara until it moved to Shizuku (now its named Shinkyo). Mikawa also ever become the capital of Seijima, a country formed in Sanese archipelago before splited to be Mitoyagi (Okaiken) and Nakahara (Credit to Tonraq for this history

This city stand in the Mikawa bay (三河湾), in the Naoshima island (直島), western part of Nakahara. it located in the middle of valley between a mountainous region of Naoshima. Standing next to Kinai City (畿内市) of Kinai Prefecture (畿内県) in north, both city creates Nakahara 5th largest metropolitan area just below Ayukawa with population 4.7 millions people inside. Mikawa used to be Nakahara's largest city prior to the Tanaka Shogunate capital movement to Shizuku in 16th century, later on Mikawa surpassed by Nagawa in 17th century, Ayukawa and Fujiyoshi in 1947, Atarashima in 1956 if the latest trend increasing, it would fall bellow Miyazaki City in mid-2015.
This update mostly consist of Shimogyo Ward, Mikawa


Hongawa Castle (本川城), a Nakaharan castle in Shimogyo Ward (下京区), Mikawa. The original castle build in 17th century as the resident of Tanaka Shogunate in Mikawa at that time... the original castle heavily damaged during 1867 siege of Mikawa, though later the castle reconstructed. Its opened to public as a museum since 1962.

Hongawa Castle in 1675

The front gate of castle today, as it can be seen that much of the area has been changed a lot since 17th century..

East of the castle lies a residential area.. this area still consist a lot of older buildings mixed with some modern one..

Nishiyama-dori, in the south of Castle area... this road lies to the Nishiyama ward (西山区) of Mikawa which consist of mountainous area.

Western part of Shimogyo Ward still can be seen a lot of older buildings mixed with some post war modern building in this area. City government enacted the development limit toward the area due to the historical preservation of the wards.

Northern part of Shimogyo Ward, just next door to Kamigyo ward, home of Mikawa Imperial Palace... both ward currently bordered with the Nishi-Mikawa rail line..

Another picture from Nishi-Mikawa rail line, though this one fully in Shimogyo ward

Ikawa Station of Nishi-Mikawa rail line. this area can be seen fully developed with many modern buildings because its close to a busy rail line.

Nishi-Mikawa rail line crossing ikawa river, which also borders Shimogyo ward with Watarirouka Ward. Ikawa river itself is a branch river of bigger Ichikawa River (一川), which runs through western part of Mikawa.

Another shot of Ikawa river it can also seen the border within more older looking Shimogyo ward with more modern Watarirouka ward.

Shimogyo ward border with Nakagyo Ward (中京区) with Ichikawa River as the mark border between both ward and Nishi-Mikawa line as the border with Kamigyo Ward. Ichikawa River (一川) itself stand for First River of Mikawa, its the 2nd largest river of the city after Nakagawa (中川) in the middle of Mikawa and sightly larger than the third Kasukawa (粕川) which mark the eastern border of city and prefecture with Kinai Prefecture.
