With a population of approximately 490,000 people, Kawaguchi is a bustling city, ranking with Saitama City as one of the major economic and cultural centers of Saitama Prefecture. Notably, with about 16,000 foreign residents, Kawaguchi is a town with a very cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Historically, Kawaguchi's development has been spurred by its long history in the "imono" cast-iron molding industry. Today, Kawaguchi is a city of industry and culture, producing cast-iron products and machinery as well as goods and services in a wide variety of other fields. In addition, the Angyo district of the city (the northeast section of Kawaguchi) is famous for its production of potted plants and flowers, known throughout Japan as "Angyo ueki."
Today, with the new industrial center of Saitama "SKIP CITY" as the core, Kawaguchi is working on the promotion of next-generation industries by introducing and attracting companies involving the screen, information and communications industries, while aiming for lively urban planning and human resources development through training volunteers and supporting various programs.
