Kamiakizu

Kamiakizu is located at the foot of Mt. Takao, the symbol of Tanabe. This area has an old history. Mr. Hujiwara built the manor from Aizu river basin near Kizekkyo on northern Mt. Takao to the base of the mountain, and used to be called Akizuno. At the halfway up Mt. Takao, three valuable sutra mounds were excavated. This area is strong on making fruits such as oranges and plums. Especially it is well known that various kinds of citrus fruits are harvested throughout the year. In addition, Akizuno Garten, the green tourism facility which was established by reusing the old elementary school, is used as a place for interaction with city residents and different generations, and even inspection and foreigners visit there.
