Fukuchi, Aomori
Fukuchi (福地村, Fukuchi-mura) was a village located in Sannohe District in northern Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Fukuchi Village was formed on 1 April 1955, when the villages of Tanabe and Jibiki merged. Fukuchi, along with the town of Nagawa (also from Sannohe District), was merged into the expanded town of Nanbu on 1 January 2006, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.[1] Fukuchi, located in central Aomori Prefecture, had an economy based primarily on agriculture, specifically garlic cultivation. It also served as a bedroom community for nearby Hachinohe. At the time of its merger, the village had an estimated population of 6,991 and a density of 174 persons per km2. The total area was 40.18 km2. Fukuchi was served by Tomabechi Station on the Aoimori Railway Line, and by National Route 104. References
