Miyoshi, Mountain city in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan
Description
Miyoshi is a city in western Tokushima Prefecture surrounded by forested mountains and steep valleys. The landscape shapes the community, with the terrain dominating how the place is organized and how people move through it.
History
The region developed over centuries as separate settlements scattered through remote mountain valleys. These communities merged in 2006 to form the single city that exists today.
Culture
The Heike Yashiki Museum displays historical artifacts and documents that tell the story of the Heike clan's influence in the region.
Practical
Train stations along the Dosan Line connect the city to larger urban areas, while buses also serve the region. The mountainous setting means travel times are longer than in flatter regions.
Did you know?
A monorail system threads through the steep valleys, offering access to areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach. This transport solution shows how innovation adapts to challenging mountain terrain.
