Fukuchiyama City is the central city of a basin in northern Kyoto Prefecture through which the Yura River flows. Akechi Mitsuhide founded its castle and castle town, and because he worked to control the Yura River's floods, he is still honored at Goryo Shrine. The city is known for Fukuchiyama Castle, whose keep has been rebuilt, and the inland Osadano Industrial Park.
