Minamiyamashiro, Rural village in Sōraku district, Japan.

Minamiyamashiro extends across 64 square kilometers of land characterized by mountains, valleys, and the flowing waters of the Kizu River.

The village emerged from the merger of Takayama and Ōkawara villages on April 1, 1955, establishing its current administrative structure.

The village maintains traditional tea cultivation practices, with four notable plantations recognized as significant elements of Japanese tea heritage.

Two railway stations on the Kansai Main Line connect the village to major urban centers, while National Route 163 provides road access.

The village functions as a water transportation hub along the Kizugawa River, facilitating the distribution of Shigaraki ceramics and timber products.
