Takasago

Takasago combines the working character of a Seto Inland Sea port with the ritual calm of an old shrine town, reflecting its position on the Harima coast of Hyogo Prefecture. The city lies near the mouth of the Kakogawa River, where industrial waterfronts meet low-lying urban districts. Takasago Shrine is closely associated with the Noh play Takasago: its paired pines, known as Aioi no Matsu, evoke longevity and harmony in marriage in Japanese tradition. Coastal trade has long connected the area with the wider Harima region, while local rail links place Takasago within the urban corridor west of Kobe.
