Honjō
7.2
Lower score (below 6)
Honjō sits along the Tone River in northern Saitama, with silk manufacturing roots from the Meiji-era industrial push that made this region important. That industry is long gone, and the city of about 79,000 is now an agricultural-residential mix. Shibusawa Eiichi's home village is nearby, making the area historically significant, but significance doesn't equal social opportunity. Conservative, family-oriented, closed community for outsiders.
