 Town's energy need blows in the wind | The Japan Times Online
But when entrepreneurs and municipalities such as Tachikawa, which suffer from depopulation, saw the windmills, another use caught their minds.
For Tachikawa, the idea came in the late 1980s, when then Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita's administration allocated 100 million yen to municipalities nationwide in a bid to stimulate local economies.
In January 1993, Tachikawa erected three U.S.-made windmills in a theme park named "Windorm Tachikawa." With a total output of 300 kw, the three mills generate electricity equivalent to what 100 households would use.Abe said the first priority for the wind-generated electricity is lighting up the windmills and supplying energy to the park.

 TACHIKAWA-MACHI   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Forming a long strip north from Gassan to the Mogami-gawa, Tachikawa Town is bordered on the east by the Mogami region and on the west by Haguro Town and the Shonai Plain.
Since Tachikawa is located at the narrow mouth of the Mogami-kyo (Mogami Canyon), the only place where Shonai and inland Yamagata are not set apart by mountains, the full force of Shonai's famous winter winds is funneled at the canyon mouth and then passes through the town on its way east up the canyon.
Long a major disadvantage for the Tachikawa, the town decided some years ago to make this into an advantage by constructing a wind farm which provides electric power to the area (and, if lucky, maybe slow down the wind a little bit too).
