Hiki district

The district spans across 281 square kilometers of land, encompassing seven municipalities including Hatoyama, Kawajima, Namegawa, Ogawa, Ranzan, Tokigawa, and Yoshimi.

The Hiki clan governed this territory during the Heian Period, leaving a lasting impact on the region before its official establishment as a district in 1879.

Each municipality within the district maintains its own festivals and events, preserving local traditions through agricultural celebrations and seasonal gatherings.

The district provides convenient access to Tokyo while offering more affordable housing options and maintaining extensive agricultural lands for local food production.

The district combines mountainous terrain in its western section with eastern flatlands, creating distinct geographical zones that influence local activities and development.
