130th Anniversary of Inagi Village System Implementation: From Meiji to Reiwa

This year, which marks the transition from the "Heisei" era to the "Reiwa" era, Inagi City also celebrated the 130th anniversary of the establishment of "Inagi Village" on April 1, 2019, which was founded in 1889 (Meiji 22).
This fiscal year, the city implemented the 130th anniversary commemorative project of the establishment of Inagi Village as an opportunity to reflect on the history of "Inagi" that has continued since the Meiji era.
The records of this project have been compiled into the "Report on the Achievements of the 130th Anniversary Commemorative Project of Inagi Village."
