Minakami, Mountain resort town in Tone district, Japan
Minakami extends across 781 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, containing segments of Joshinetsu-kogen National Park and multiple natural hot springs.
The Mikuni Kaido trade route, connecting Takasaki with Niigata during the Heian period, included nine post stations through present-day Minakami territory.
The Takumi no Sato craft center enables visitors to practice traditional Japanese arts, including pottery making, paper crafting, and textile weaving.
The town maintains six elementary schools, three middle schools, and one high school, serving its population of over 18,000 residents.
Doai Station, located within Minakami's boundaries, holds the distinction of being the deepest railway station in Japan.
