Kuji district

Kuji district occupies the northeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture and encompasses several municipalities including Daigo. Mountain ranges and river systems shape the land, providing the foundation for local farming and daily life.

The district was established in 1878 as part of a broader administrative reorganization of the region. This restructuring created the framework that continues to connect the various communities together.

Local festivals throughout the year bring residents together to celebrate with traditional food and crafts passed down through families. These gatherings reflect how the community values its heritage and local production.

Railways and roads connect the communities within the district and link them to larger cities across the prefecture. Visitors can travel between different areas by train or car, though frequency varies depending on the destination.

The mountain and river landscape has shaped farming practices for generations and continues to influence how agriculture works here today. This geography creates a direct link between the land and the way people organize their livelihoods.
