Minamiashigara, Mountain city in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Minamiashigara extends across 77 square kilometers of mountainous terrain within Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park and Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.

The area came under Hojo clan control during the Sengoku period before becoming part of Odawara Domain, later establishing as a municipality in 1889.

The Daiyuzan Saijo-ji Temple complex occupies 1.3 square kilometers within an ancient cedar forest containing over 20,000 trees dating back 500 years.

Transportation options include the Izuhakone Railway Daiyuzan Line and Hakone Tozan Bus services connecting to major cities in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The 25-meter-high Yuhi Falls creates a natural air conditioning effect, maintaining temperatures 2-3 degrees lower than surrounding plains throughout summer months.
