The '''Taīga-Kaidō Plain''', also known as the '''Taīga-Kaidō Megalopolis''' or the '''Taīga-Kaidō Corridor''' is a stretch of almost entirely urbanized land in [[Tayichi]] extending from [[Shuto]] in the west to [[Kojima]] in the east. The urbanization runs mostly along the [[Taīga]] and [[Kaidō]] Rivers and is centered around road and rail corridors that run alongside them. A view of Tayichi at night shows a rather dense and continuous strip of light (demarcating urban zones) that delineates the region, a starch contrast to the [[Sōdai|dark mountains that mostly surround it]]. With a total estimated population of around 31 million, slightly less than half of Tayichi's entire population, and a nominal GDP of $1.850 trillion, it is one of the largest and richest urban areas on the planet. | |||
The term was first used the 1950s to describe the rapidly interconnecting middle section of Hashita, where cities due to common transport infrastructure such as rivers and railways began merging together to form larger clusters.

The Taīga-Kaidō Plain, also known as the Taīga-Kaidō Megalopolis or the Taīga-Kaidō Corridor is a stretch of almost entirely urbanized land in Tayichi extending from Shuto in the west to Kojima in the east. The urbanization runs mostly along the Taīga and Kaidō Rivers and is centered around road and rail corridors that run alongside them. A view of Tayichi at night shows a rather dense and continuous strip of light (demarcating urban zones) that delineates the region, a starch contrast to the dark mountains that mostly surround it. With a total estimated population of around 31 million, slightly less than half of Tayichi's entire population, and a nominal GDP of $1.850 trillion, it is one of the largest and richest urban areas on the planet.
The term was first used the 1950s to describe the rapidly interconnecting middle section of Hashita, where cities due to common transport infrastructure such as rivers and railways began merging together to form larger clusters. During the Tayichian Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, this was the first area of the country to undergo rapid industrialization and urbanization. Today, the Taīga-Kaidō Plain hosts the majority of the nation's industrial and economic capabilites, as well as the seat of government. Since 1964, Toshibu Shinkansen services run along the corridor, and the region itself gained the nickname "The Lifeline of Tayichi"
