Kakamigahara, Industrial city in Gifu Prefecture, Japan
Kakamigahara extends across 87 square kilometers of the northern Nobi Plain, with mountains in the north and the Kiso River flowing through its southern section.
The settlement originated as Unuma-juku, a post station along the Nakasendo highway that connected the cities of Edo and Kyoto during the feudal period.
The city maintains numerous parks and green spaces as part of its urban development strategy, earning recognition through the Green City Prize from Japan's prime minister.
The presence of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Aerospace Company and multiple automobile factories positions Kakamigahara as the second-largest industrial center in Gifu Prefecture.
The Kakamigahara Aerospace Science Museum presents exhibits about aviation technology, reflecting the city's connection to the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force base.
