Yamatsuri: 天神沢子供遊び場 - Tenjinzawa Community Center - Kujigawa Cycling Road
Among the communities of Fukushima Prefecture, Yamatsuri stands out for its close relationship with the Kuji River in the prefecture’s wooded south. The Kuji rises in Fukushima, then continues through Ibaraki Prefecture to the Pacific Ocean; at Yamatsuri, it forms a corridor for homes, roads and farmland between the hills. The Kujigawa Cycling Road follows this river setting, while the Tenjinzawa Community Center and Tenjinzawa children’s playground serve the local neighbourhood. Rather than an urban centre, Yamatsuri is a small-scale river settlement shaped by its valley and connections with neighbouring communities.

Few places in Fukushima Prefecture have a history as closely tied to the Kuji River as Yamatsuri. This small town occupies a narrow, wooded valley in the prefecture’s far south, close to the border with Ibaraki, where the river continues southward toward the Pacific. The surrounding terrain belongs to the Abukuma highlands, giving Yamatsuri a distinctly rural setting shaped by forest, slopes and the river corridor. The JR Suigun Line follows the Kuji valley, linking the town with Mito in Ibaraki and Kōriyama in Fukushima; its route reflects the importance of this natural passage through the hills.
