Minamimuro district

Minamimuro is an administrative district in Mie Prefecture located along the Pacific coast, comprising two towns: Mihama and Kiho. The area stretches across coastal terrain with varied landscapes and settlement patterns.

This district was created in 1878 from the division of Muro District in Kii Province as part of broader administrative changes. The division shaped the governance boundaries that remain today.

The two towns here maintain distinct local identities while sharing governance of the region. You can see how communities work together through shared services and local initiatives.

The area is accessible via the Kisei Main Line railway connecting the coastal communities. Most shops and public services are concentrated in the town centers and easy to reach on foot.

Sections of Yoshino-Kumano National Park fall within this district, offering access to natural coastal areas. The region is also known for year-round citrus cultivation, a significant agricultural tradition that shapes the local landscape.
