History
Koriyama used to be barren and was a town for travelers with a population of merely

Koriyama, having the inconvenience of water at that time,
made the first step toward prosperity by undertaking the Asaka Canal Project (1879).
The reclamation of the Asaka Plains required 850,000 man-days and took three years to complete.
It is said that as many as 2,000 workers from across the nation gathered in Koriyama,
a small town with a population of only 5,000!!

the city struggled against many difficulties like never before,

On the other hand, a lot of people participated in various activities such as art, drama, and music,
which served as a guide and inspiration for the people of Koriyama.
Now, Koriyama City has a reputation of having some of the best choruses in all of Japan.
