Satosho

Located in the southwestern part of Okayama Prefecture, Satoshō spans 12.23 square kilometers with a mix of flat areas and forested regions.

The town emerged from the 1905 merger of Satomi and Shinjō villages, later achieving town status in 1950 during Japan's post-war municipal restructuring.

The local economy maintains traditional agricultural practices while integrating modern food processing facilities and electronics manufacturing establishments throughout the region.

The town offers direct access to the San'yō Main Line railway, connecting residents to larger cities like Kurashiki and Fukuyama for work and education.

With a population density of 900 persons per square kilometer, Satoshō remains the single municipality in Asakuchi District since 2006.
