Welcome to the Joyo City's Homepage!

Joyo located halfway between Kyoto and Nara which are two of the ancient capitals of Japan, has developed as the center of transportation throughout the centuries. In the Nara Period (710-784 AD), a county office was placed in this area, and in the Edo Period (1603-1868 AD) , this intermediary spot bustled with travelers and carriers as a stopping and relay station.

Since the beginning of Joyo City municipal administration in May of 1972, our city has been steadily developing as a comfortable and convenient residential city, by improving our roads, and sewer system, and other forms of infrastructure.

Our city's population is aging rapidly, therefore welfare services is an urgent necessity. On the other hand, improved efficacy by the decentralization of power and finances and administrative reforms are also requested by the people. With the guiding concept of " Joyo City, a Place of Natural Beauty and Tranquility", we will strive to realize a home town feeling and a truly vibrant city of the 21st century by making the best use of all our natural resources and cooperating with the citizens.

I am obliged if this homepage serves to acquaint and inspire you to visit our attractive city. We are heartily anticipating your visit.
