Minamichita (南知多町, Minamichita-chō) is a town in Chita District, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

Per Japanese census data,[2] the population of Minamichita had been declining steadily over the past 70 years.

After the Meiji restoration, it was organized into villages within Chita District, Aichi with the establishment of the modern municipalities system.

During March 2006, discussions were held to merge Minamichita with the town of Mihama to the north to form the new city of “Minamicentrair” after the popular nickname for Chūbu Centrair International Airport, but the merger proposal was strongly opposed by the majority of the inhabitants of Minamichita, and the merger did not take place.

[5] The primary sector dominates the economy of Minamichita, notably commercial fishing and agriculture.
