Kamitonda Town has the Tonda River flowing through it from north to south and is surrounded by Tanabe City and Shirahama Town. Plums, mandarins and Japanese plums are widely grown, and gourds, loved as lucky charms of the Kumano pilgrimage, are a specialty. Inabane Oji Shrine of the Kumano Kodo is here, and button making, which grew out of shell buttons, continues as a local industry.
