Kosuge, Mountain village in Kitatsuru district, Japan
The village extends across 52.65 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, with 95 percent covered by dense forest within Yamanashi Prefecture.
The village establishment occurred on July 1, 1889, during the Meiji period reforms, when it became part of Kitatsuru District administration.
Eight distinct hamlets form the village structure, with residents maintaining traditional practices of hunting deer and gathering forest products throughout the seasons.
Visitors reach the village through bus connections from Okutama Station, with services operating daily to destinations including Mount Daibosatsu and Lake Okutama.
The village forests form a protected watershed that supplies drinking water to Tokyo through the Tama River system, extending 135 kilometers eastward.
