Kasai

The city extends across 150.98 square kilometers in the Harima Plain, with forests occupying the northern section and low mountains in the southern part.

During the Edo Period, the territory was managed by the Tokugawa shogunate, while a section remained under the control of Himeji Domain administration.

The Tokou-ji Temple hosts an annual New Year gathering featuring Ta-asobi, a traditional ritual performance dedicated to rice cultivation prayers.

Transportation infrastructure includes inter-prefecture buses, community bus services, and taxi operations, with private vehicles serving as the primary mode of transit.

Maruyama Park contains the largest globe clock in the world, marking time against the background of the Harima Plain landscape.
