Sekikawa, Mountain village in Iwafune district, Japan
Sekikawa spreads across 299 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in northeastern Niigata Prefecture, bordering Yamagata Prefecture to the east.
The village administration formed on August 1, 1954, through the consolidation of three separate communities: Seki, Shichikatani, and Kukatani villages.
Local symbols of Sekikawa include the lily flower and maple tree, reflecting the natural elements that characterize this rural Japanese settlement.
The village connects to surrounding areas through the JR East Yonesaka Line railway and two national routes: Route 113 and Route 290.
The population of Sekikawa has decreased from 9,559 residents in 1970 to 5,144 in 2020, illustrating the demographic changes in rural Japan.
