Official websiteGifu Prefecture page
Kaizu City is at the southwest tip of Gifu Prefecture, surrounded by the three Kiso rivers. Almost all of the former Kaizu Town and Hirata Town areas are wajuu (levee-ringed communities) at or below sea level. The approach to Chiyoho Inari Shrine, nicknamed "Ochobo-san," is busy with kushikatsu (fried skewer) shops, and the city has Nanno Onsen. It produces winter-spring tomatoes.
