Kihoku, Administrative division in Kitamuro County, Japan
The town of Kihoku spans across 257 square kilometers in Mie Prefecture, featuring a landscape of mountains, rivers, and Pacific Ocean coastline.
Following the Meiji Restoration, the area transferred to Mie Prefecture, and the modern town formed in 2005 through the merger of Kii-Nagashima and Miyama.
The town maintains traditional fishing practices and produces regional specialties like saury sushi, reflecting its connection to maritime resources.
Kihoku contains nine elementary schools, four middle schools, and connects to major transportation routes including the Kisei Main Line and several highways.
The region encompasses sections of UNESCO World Heritage Sites within the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes of the Kii Mountain Range.
