Fuwa district, Administrative district in Gifu Prefecture, Japan
The Fuwa district extends across mountainous valleys connecting the Kansai and Tokai regions, containing two notable towns: Tarui and Sekigahara.
The district, established in 1879, includes Sekigahara, where the decisive battle of 1600 led to the formation of the Tokugawa shogunate.
The town of Tarui preserves the Mino Provincial Capital Site and Nangu Taisha shrine, recognized as the principal shrine of Mino Province.
The district connects to major urban centers through the Meishin Expressway, Tokkaido Shinkansen, and Tokaido Main Line railway networks.
Sekigahara maintains international connections through sister city partnerships with Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Waterloo, Belgium, recognizing shared military histories.
