Kai

The city of Kai extends across 71.95 square kilometers of land in central Japan, featuring residential neighborhoods and commercial districts at the foot of mountains.

The formation of Kai city occurred in 2004 through the administrative merger of three former towns: Futaba, Ryuo, and Shikishima into one municipal entity.

Local farmers in Kai maintain traditional agricultural practices, contributing to the region's reputation for producing high-quality grapes and other fresh fruits.

The Chuo Main Line railway provides direct connections between Kai and major urban centers, with stations serving both local and express train services.

Kai residents maintain flood control systems first established by Takeda Shingen in the 16th century, which continue to protect the city from the Kamanashi River.
