Tenryu, Mountain village in Shimoina District, Japan

Located in southern Nagano Prefecture, Tenryu village spreads across 109 square kilometers of land where mountains and forests cover ninety percent of the territory.

The establishment of Tenryu village occurred on September 30, 1956, through the administrative merger of two smaller villages named Hiraoka and Kamihara.

The village maintains strong connections to the Tenryu River, which winds through the mountains and shapes the daily activities of the local inhabitants.

Travelers can access the Wachinogawa campground within the village boundaries, while the Hiraoka Dam serves as a significant water management structure in the region.

The population of Tenryu has experienced a notable transformation, decreasing from 5,763 residents in 1940 to approximately 1,120 people by 2021.
