Minamiawaji, Administrative city in southern Awaji Island, Japan

Minami-Awaji spreads across 229 square kilometers of land, encompassing agricultural plains, hills, and the small island of Nushima in the Seto Inland Sea.

The region functioned as the capital of Awaji during ancient times, containing numerous temples and shrines, including the 8th-century Kokubunji with its original foundation stones.

The Awaji Puppet Theater presents traditional Ningyo Joruri performances four times daily, continuing a puppetry tradition that originated in the fifteenth century.

Visitors can access various locations through local bus services or the electric bike rental system, which operates in conjunction with neighboring cities Awaji and Sumoto.

The agricultural sector produces the notable Awaji onions, recognized throughout Japan for their particular taste, while numerous agricultural ponds dot the landscape.
