Kami City

Kami City isthis kind of town.

1. 01Keikiso (渓鬼荘) is the thatched hermitage where the poet Yoshii Isamu spent about three years, from 1934 to 1937; at the time it stood on a cliff above the Monobe River. It has since been moved onto the grounds of the Yoshii Isamu Memorial Museum in Inono, Kohoku, where an exhibit recreates his life there. A small thatched hut of a six-mat living room, a four-and-a-half-mat study and a veranda, it became a nationally registered tangible cultural property in 2015.
2. 02Okawakami Birafu Shrine (大川上美良布神社) in Kohoku is a shrine listed in the Engishiki (延喜式), and its main building and two Kesadasukimon bronze bells (袈裟襷文銅鐸) are prefectural cultural properties. At its autumn grand festival, onabare (おなばれ), a procession in which the enshrined deity goes in a line to the temporary shrine, Shinmeigu (神明宮), and back, has been held on November 3 each year.
3. 03Kami was created in 2006 by the merger of Tosayamada, Kohoku and Monobe. Its area is about 538 km², and about 90% of it is forest. Kohoku has the city-run Yanase Takashi Memorial Hall, the "Anpanman Museum", and Ryugado Cave (龍河洞) in Tosayamada is a nationally designated Natural Monument and Historic Site, with Yayoi-period pottery and stone tools excavated near its exit.
