Takikawa
7.2
Lower score (below 6)
Takikawa is a Sorachi city of around 39,000 known specifically as the gliding capital of Japan — the Takikawa Skypark has hosted the Sailplane Grand Prix World Championship and the consistent thermal conditions here are unusually good for a Japanese location. The gliding community brings some international visitors for competitions. The city otherwise has the standard Sorachi character — a former agricultural hub that's been losing population to Sapporo for decades. The glider competitions are the one social opening that brings unusual people to town; otherwise it's a regional service city with limited appeal for an outsider.
