Shirakawa, Mountain town in Kamo District, Japan
The municipality extends across 237 square kilometers of valleys and forested mountains within the Japanese Alps, creating natural corridors for rivers.
The area transformed from Owari Domain of Mino Province into Mugi District after the Meiji Restoration, establishing Sakanohigashi village in 1897.
The town maintains strong international connections through sister city relationships with Pistoia in Italy since 1994 and Songyuan in China since 1981.
Transportation infrastructure includes the Takayama Main Line railway and National Routes 41 and 256, connecting residents to neighboring regions.
The local economy centers on forestry and agriculture, with specialized production of Hinoki wood and green tea in the mountain environment.
