Kamikawa, Mountain town in Kanzaki district, Japan.

Located in central Hyogo Prefecture, Kamikawa stretches across 202 square kilometers of land with forested mountains rising above 1000 meters in elevation.

The region transformed from ancient Harima Province through the Edo Period divisions between Himeji Domain and Tokugawa Shogunate territories until its current formation in 2005.

The population of 10,794 residents maintains agricultural traditions through seasonal markets where local producers share fresh vegetables, rice, and regional specialties.

Transportation access includes the Bantan Line operated by JR West, connecting the stations of Niino, Teramae, and Hase, alongside National Route 312.

The town contains four major river valleys - Odawara, Ichi, Ochi, and Inumi - where settlements developed at approximately 150 meters above sea level.
