Maniwa

Maniwa lies along the Asahi River valley in northern Okayama Prefecture, where wooded slopes of the Chūgoku Mountains rise from inland basins toward the Hiruzen highlands. This large municipality joins riverside former towns to farming districts; dairy production remains an established part of life around Hiruzen. Katsuyama’s old castle-town quarter retains traditional buildings, while its noren shop curtains are a local emblem. Farther upstream, Yubara Onsen is known for Sunayu, a riverside open-air hot spring, and the ancient Daigo-zakura blooms here in spring.
