Kaminokawa

Kaminokawa extends across 54.39 square kilometers of flat terrain with the Kinugawa River flowing through its southeastern section of Tochigi Prefecture.

The town underwent three significant administrative changes: its establishment in 1889, elevation to town status in 1893, and annexation of Meiji and Hongo in 1955.

The municipality maintains seven primary schools, three middle schools, and one high school, reflecting the educational priorities of this Japanese community.

The town connects to major routes through the Tohoku Expressway and National Routes 4 and 352, facilitating transportation despite the absence of passenger rail services.

The Nissan manufacturing facility in Kaminokawa serves as a primary industrial center, contributing substantially to the local employment and economic development.
