Kuji, Coastal city in Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
Kuji extends along the Pacific coastline with mountains in the background, combining maritime activities with forest landscapes in northern Japan.
The formal establishment of Kuji as a city occurred on November 3, 1954, marking a transition from its earlier status as a fishing and forestry settlement.
The residents of Kuji maintain seasonal festivals throughout the year, featuring traditional music performances and local craft demonstrations in street markets.
The city provides access to hiking trails, fishing spots, and natural reserves through a network of roads connecting to major cities in Iwate Prefecture.
Local markets in Kuji offer fresh seafood caught daily by fishermen who practice techniques passed down through generations in the northern Pacific waters.
