Kamigori, Rural municipality in Akō district, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan
Kamigōri spans across 150 square kilometers of land in southwestern Hyōgo Prefecture, bordered by Aioi, Akō, Sayō, Tatsuno, and Bizen municipalities.
The territory of Kamigōri served as the headquarters for the Akamatsu clan during the Muromachi period before being divided between Amagasaki Domain and Tokugawa shogunate administration.
Local craftsmen maintain traditional Japanese arts, including swordsmiths who demonstrate the ancient techniques of forging katana blades and artisans creating glass pieces.
The town connects to major cities through the JR San'yo Main Line and Chizu Express, with National Routes 2 and 373 providing road access.
Residents organize workshops where elders teach younger generations the techniques to create samurai armor replicas using recycled fabric materials.
