Yamakita, Mountain town in Ashigarakami district, Japan
Located in western Kanagawa Prefecture, Yamakita extends across 224 square kilometers of land within the boundaries of Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park.
During the Edo period, Yamakita belonged to Odawara Domain and later transformed into Kawa village in 1889 before obtaining town status in 1933.
The Lake Tanzawa Fireworks Festival and West Tanzawa Autumn Momiji Festival represent significant annual celebrations that bring together local residents.
Residents and visitors access Yamakita through the JR Tokai Gotemba Line at three stations: Higashi-Yamakita, Yamakita, and Yaga, with connections to major routes.
Lake Tanzawa sits at the center of Yamakita, surrounded by mountains that create a temperature average of 11.6 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
