Capitalizing on its geographical advantage being the geographical center of Japan and at the cross-point of three economic zones, namely Kansai, Chubu, and Hokuriku regions, ブラック ジャック アプリe has been prospering from ancient times as a vital intersection of traffic routes. Manufacturing accounts for 45.2% of the prefectural gross production, marking the highest share in Japan.
