Awaji, Northern coastal city in Awaji Island, Japan
The city spans across 184 square kilometers of the northern third of Awaji Island, bordered by Osaka Bay and the Gulf of Harima.
The region transformed from being part of Tokushima Domain during the Edo period to establishing its current form through municipal mergers in 2005.
The Awaji Ningyō-Jōruri puppet theater presents daily performances at a dedicated hall, preserving traditional Japanese theatrical expressions through centuries.
Transportation around the city relies on public buses and a bicycle rental system, with direct access to Kobe via the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.
The city maintains strong international connections through sister city relationships with Paranaguá in Brazil and St. Marys in the United States.
