Oyabe is a city of roughly 33,000 people located near the western border of Toyama prefecture in central Japan. Nearby are the cities of Fukumitsu, Fukuoka, Fukuno, and Tonami City, which can be reached quickly and conveniently by car or rail. Neighboring Ishikawa prefecture is also just a short train ride away, allowing for easy access to Tsubata and Kanazawa.

Oyabe takes pride in its green scenery and untouched nature. There are many natural landmarks, including waterfalls and Mt.Inaba, which rises 346 meters above the hilly northwestern landscape. The southeastern region of Oyabe has vast plains and flatlands, which make the area ideal for rice and grain production. The clear waters of the Oyabe River cut through the region, flowing to the north and emptying into the Sea of Japan.

Oyabe City is relatively small and quiet, but has become increasingly urbanized in recent years. The sportswear, machinery, and metals industries are steadily expanding, and shopping districts and larger shopping centers are becoming more prevalent. However, farming and industry remain healthy. Agriculture plays a large role here, where approximately 90% of the 2699 hectares of paddy fields are currently being cultivated.
