Tamba, Mountain city in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Located in a basin at 100 meters above sea level, Tamba extends across 493 square kilometers between the Seto Inland Sea and Sea of Japan.

During the Sengoku period, the Akai clan ruled from Kuroi Castle until 1579, when the fortress fell after the death of Akai Naomasa, known as the Red Demon.

The agricultural heritage of Tamba manifests through its renowned production of black soybeans, chestnuts, and seasonal specialties that define local gastronomy.

Visitors can reach Tamba from Osaka in 70 minutes by Limited Express Train or in 80 minutes by highway bus to Kasuga or Hikami interchange.

The Miwakare-Koen Park contains Japan's lowest drainage divide in a valley, presenting geological formations that separate water flow in different directions.
