Yabu

The landscape around Yabu is predominantly mountainous and forested, a setting that has influenced both its scattered settlements and rural economy. In northern Hyogo’s Tajima region, the city spreads across valleys drained by the Yagi River, a tributary of the Maruyama River. Mount Hyōno, Hyogo Prefecture’s highest peak, stands within the wider municipal area and forms part of Hyōnosen-Ushiroyama-Nagisan Quasi-National Park. Yabu became a city in 2004 through the merger of the former towns of Yabu, Yoka, Oya and Sekinomiya. The surrounding Tajima district is closely associated with Tajima cattle, the breed from which Kobe beef is produced.
