Kakogawa

Kakogawa has served as a post town in the Harima region since the Edo period. The city extends along the Kakogawa River, which flows south into Harima-nada, part of the Seto Inland Sea, linking inland Hyogo with the coast. Its historic route survives in the old Kakogawa-juku district, a station on the Saigoku Kaido, the highway that connected Kyoto with western Japan. Kakurinji, a Buddhist temple in the city, preserves notable temple buildings and Buddhist sculpture; its foundation is traditionally attributed to Prince Shotoku in 589. Today, Kakogawa combines riverside neighbourhoods, manufacturing, and rail connections between Kobe and Himeji.
