Official websiteIshikawa Prefecture page
Kawakita Town is near the center of the Kaga Plain and stretches long from east to west on the right bank of the Tedori River. It is the second-smallest municipality in the prefecture by area, after Nonoichi City. Place names such as Tagojima keep traces of "island settlements," built on higher ground to avoid the repeated floods of the Tedori River.
