Kitamuro district

Kitamuro district extends across 257 square kilometers of rural terrain, containing the town of Kihoku with a population density of 70 people per square kilometer.

The district emerged from the division of Muro District in Kii Province during the 1878 Meiji period reforms, initially comprising one town and nine separate villages.

The district maintains Japanese administrative traditions through its designation as a gun, representing a historical subdivision between prefectures and municipalities in Japan.

Located at coordinates 34.178889°N and 136.238056°E, the district connects to neighboring regions through an established network of roads within Mie Prefecture.

The district underwent multiple administrative changes throughout its history, culminating in the 2005 merger of Kiinagashima and Miyama towns to form present-day Kihoku.
