Inami

Inami is a town in Kako district, Hyogo Prefecture, located on the Innanno Plateau between the Kakogawa and Akashi Rivers. It formed when several villages merged and now houses schools and residential areas serving the surrounding communities.

During the Edo period, the area belonged to Himeji Domain before villages merged in 1955 to form the present town. This consolidation marked the beginning of Inami as a modern administrative entity.

The town maintains ties to the ancient Harima Province, referenced in classical poetry from the Nara period. This literary connection reveals how the area held cultural importance long before its modern establishment.

The town has five elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school serving the local population. Its location on a plateau provides good connections to the nearby Kobe metropolitan area for visitors and residents.

The ruins of Banshū Winery, designated as a National Historic Site, reveal the area's industrial past. This winery operation was once a significant economic activity that shaped the region's development.
