Shiso, Mountain city in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
Shisō extends across 658 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in western Hyogo Prefecture, maintaining a population density of 110 persons per square kilometer.
The region was part of Harima Province and gained recognition for producing tatara steel used in Japanese sword manufacturing during ancient times.
The city maintains three forest therapy roads where residents and visitors participate in shinrinyoku activities among natural forest environments.
Transportation relies on road networks including the Chugoku Expressway and National Routes 29 and 429, as the city operates without passenger railway services.
The Kunimi Forest Therapy Road features a mini monorail system that transports visitors through Akamatsu Forest to Mount Kunimi's summit.
