Sōka
7.0
Lower score (below 6)
Sōka is known nationally for two things: senbei (rice cracker) production — Sōka senbei are a well-established regional specialty sold across Japan — and as the birthplace and headquarters city of Soka Gakkai, Japan's largest Buddhist organization with millions of members. The Soka Gakkai connection gives the city a particular community character where residents are tied into the organization's dense social network, which is closed to outsiders. Women here are connected through that network first. The senbei shops are worth visiting; the social scene is not accessible.
