Ritto city

Ritto City provides excellent transport convenience thanks to the Ritto Interchange of the Meishin Expressway, inter-regional trunk roads such as National Highway No.1 and No.8, and train stations Ritto Station and Tehara Station.
The widening work of the main prefectural road Kusatsu-Moriyama Line to four lanes and the Ishibe-Ono section of the National Route No. 1 Bypass have been completed, and the Meishin Expressway Ritto-Konan Interchange has opened. These, coupled with planned constructions of the Ono-Kamitoyama section of the National Highway No. 1 Bypass, No. 8 Bypass, and the Yamate trunk road (to be completed in 2023), will boost the wide-area transport convenience further.
The City is home to businesses in various industries and fields, centered on plastics, food products, and commercial machinery.
