Totsukawa, Mountain village in Yoshino District, Japan
Totsukawa extends across 672 square kilometers of forested mountains in southern Nara Prefecture, making it the largest village municipality in Japan.
After a devastating flood in 1889, numerous residents relocated to Hokkaido, where they established a new settlement called Shintotsukawa.
The Tanize Suspension Bridge hosts the Yuredaiko drum festival each August 4, connecting local communities through traditional musical performances.
Visitors can access the village via bus services connecting Kintetsu Yamato Yagi Station in the north to JR Shingu Station on the Pacific coast.
The Yaen transportation system consists of manual rope gondolas that cross river bends, allowing individuals to pull themselves across water channels.
