Kaizu, Administrative city in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

The city spans across 112 square kilometers in southwestern Gifu Prefecture, bordered by three major rivers: Ibi, Nagara, and Kiso Rivers.

The area experienced significant agricultural development in 1319 with the construction of the first circle levee to protect against frequent flooding from nearby rivers.

The community maintains the Chisui Shrine, dedicated to Satsuma Gishi who sacrificed their lives during the construction of the Horeki-chusui flood control works.

A network of community bus services connects various districts within Kaizu, providing transportation access to local attractions and residential areas.

Kaizu stands as the northernmost location in Japan for extensive cultivation of satsuma mikan oranges, contributing to regional agricultural diversity.
