Shinshiro City is in the north of Higashi-Mikawa at the gateway to Oku-Mikawa and was formed in 2005 by the merger of Shinshiro City, Horai Town and Tsukude Village. It was the site of the Battle of Nagashino between the Oda-Tokugawa allied army and the Takeda army, with the Nagashino Castle ruins and the Shitaragahara battlefield. Nature is also rich, with Mt. Horaiji and the Atera Seven Falls.
