Kasukabe: 徳島県神山町
Built around the Ayukui River valley, Kamiyama grew into a dispersed mountain town in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. The river crosses a steep-sided part of Shikoku, where forested slopes descend to broad stony banks and small riverside neighbourhoods. Kamiyama is widely associated with Japan’s rural revitalisation movement: the nonprofit Green Valley developed a satellite-office initiative that has drawn businesses and remote workers to the town. This contemporary experiment sits alongside an older settlement pattern shaped by the river, local roads and cultivated valley land. The surrounding mountains give the area an inland character distinct from Tokushima’s coastal plain.

Among the countries of East Asia, Japan stands out for its volcanic archipelago, stretching from the cool north of Hokkaido to subtropical Okinawa. Mount Fuji, the nation’s highest mountain, rises above central Honshu, while the Pacific Ocean and the Seto Inland Sea have long shaped settlement, fishing and travel. Tokyo pairs dense urban life with major museums and neighbourhood traditions; Kyoto preserves temples, gardens and the legacy of Japan’s imperial court. Seasonal customs give journeys a changing rhythm, from spring cherry blossom viewing to autumn leaves. Regional cooking is equally varied, with sushi, ramen and local specialties reflecting coastlines, climate and agriculture.
