Ogano

Built around the valleys beneath Mount Ryōkami in the Chichibu Mountains, Ogano grew into a small inland town in western Saitama Prefecture. Rising to 1,723 metres, Mount Ryōkami is among the region’s best-known peaks, and its craggy profile distinguishes Ogano from the wider Kantō Plain. Forested slopes and cultivated valley floors define this settlement in Saitama’s uplands. Ogano is also associated with Ogano Kabuki, a community-based amateur kabuki tradition maintained by local residents, linking the town to the theatre culture that spread through rural Japan during the Edo period.
