Kamikita district

Kamikita district spans across 1,281 square kilometers of east-central Aomori Prefecture, incorporating seven municipalities including Noheji, Oirase, and Rokkasho towns.

The district emerged from the ancient Kita County controlled by the Northern Fujiwara clan and underwent reorganization on October 30, 1878 during the Meiji period.

Each municipality within Kamikita district maintains seasonal festivals celebrating agricultural harvests, with local communities preserving traditional Japanese practices through generations.

The district connects to major transportation networks through regional roads and rail systems, enabling access to larger cities within Aomori Prefecture.

Rokkasho, one of the district's towns, operates a nuclear reprocessing facility that contributes to Japan's energy infrastructure development.
