Itayanagi Town is almost in the center of the Tsugaru Plain, along the Iwaki River. The town has almost no forest land, and apples and rice are its main products. It once prospered from boat transport on the Iwaki River, and the Hirosaki Domain placed a magistrate's office here. Until the middle of the Showa era, Itayanagi Station was busy with apple shipments by rail.
