Kako district

Kako district is an administrative division in Hyogo Prefecture that encompasses the municipalities of Inami and Harima. It functions as a governance level that coordinates between the prefecture and its constituent towns.

The district was established in 1879 during Japan's Meiji period as part of administrative reforms that restructured regional governance. This reorganization shaped the modern administrative framework of the Hyogo region.

Residents of Kako district maintain local traditions through seasonal festivals, traditional ceremonies, and community gatherings that connect generations.

The area is connected by road networks that link its communities to neighboring regions and allow easy movement between municipalities. The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are most accessible.

Kako district functions as an intermediary administrative level between prefecture and municipality, contributing to Japan's three-tier governance system.
