Tsumagoi, Mountain village in Agatsuma district, Japan.
Located in northwestern Gunma Prefecture at high elevation, Tsumagoi extends over 337 square kilometers between Mount Asama and Joshinetsu-kogen National Park boundaries.
The village formation traces back to April 1, 1889, during the Meiji Restoration period, when Japan established its modern municipality system in Agatsuma District.
The name Tsumagoi originates from the textile weaving tradition that shaped the local identity, reflecting the historical connection to fabric production in the region.
The village maintains two elementary schools, one middle school, and one prefectural high school, serving the educational needs of its 9,546 residents.
The volcanic ash deposits from Mount Asama create exceptional soil conditions that support Tsumagoi's large-scale cabbage cultivation at high altitudes.
