Daigo, Mountain town in Kuji district, Japan
Located in northwestern Ibaraki Prefecture, Daigo extends across 325 square kilometers of land along the upper reaches of the Kuji River.
The municipal administration of Daigo began on April 1, 1889, and the settlement received town status on July 20, 1891.
The production of traditional lacquerware, particularly organic urushi, remains central to the local craft industry with artisans maintaining centuries-old techniques.
Travelers can reach Daigo through Hitachi-Daigo Station, approximately two and a half hours from Tokyo by local train services.
The town produces tea in one of Japan's northernmost cultivation regions, taking advantage of its specific climate and fertile mountain soil.
