Yamanouchi, Mountain town in Shimotakai district, Japan
Yamanouchi extends across 265 square kilometers of mountainous terrain within Nagano Prefecture, ranging from 424 to 2341 meters in elevation.
The establishment of modern Yamanouchi occurred on April 1, 1955, through the consolidation of Hirao with the neighboring villages of Honami and Yomase.
Archaeological excavations in Yamanouchi have revealed stone tools from the Paleolithic era, pottery from the Jomon period, and burial mounds from the Kofun period.
The Nagano Electric Railway provides transportation through Yamanouchi with stations at Yomase, Kamijo, and Yudanaka, complemented by express bus services from Nagano Station.
The Jigokudani Monkey Park within Yamanouchi presents Japanese macaques soaking in outdoor hot springs, featuring in the 1992 documentary film Baraka.
