Kawanehon, Administrative division in Haibara County, Japan.

Kawanehoncho extends across 496.88 square kilometers of north-central Shizuoka Prefecture, with mountains and forests covering 90 percent of its territory.

The formation of Kawanehoncho occurred on September 20, 2005, through the consolidation of Nakakawane and Honkawane towns in Haibara District.

Local residents maintain traditional tea cultivation practices, producing high-quality green tea that represents a central element of the regional identity.

The Oigawa Railway connects travelers through multiple stations including Senzu, Shiogo, and Tanokuchi, while National Routes 362 and 473 serve motorists.

The town population decreased from 18,767 residents in 1940 to 6,206 in 2020, reflecting significant demographic changes in rural Japan.
