Introducing the City of Awaji in Hyogo Prefecture
This video, titled "05|Awaji|Hyogo Nature PR Video|Awaji City" (05 淡路 兵庫多自然地域PR動画「淡路市」), was created by "E-宍粟サイネージCM."
Awaji City is located in northern Awaji Island (淡路島, awaji-shima), which can be found in southern Hyogo Prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan.
The city occupies one-third of the northern section of the island and is connected to Kobe (神戸市, kobe-shi) via the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, linked to Akashi (明石市, Akashi-shi) by water, and bordered by Sumoto (洲本市, sumoto-shi) in the south.
The city is considered part of the Kobe metropolitan area centered around the city of Kobe.
Let’s explore Awaji City through this article and video.
The History of Awaji
The city of Awaji was established on April 1, 2005 through the merger of Awaji's Tsuna District, and the towns Tsuna, Hokudan, Ichinomiya, and Higashiura.
Awaji Island, where the city of Awaji is located, has been known as a "Miketsukuni" (御食国) for centuries, being an area paid tribute to the imperial family and the imperial court from ancient times to the Heian period.
There are a variety of delicacies available on the island, from mountain vegetables to seafood.
The island also boasts livestock and vegetable producers as well as fisheries.
If you're searching for the best place to eat your fill in Hyogo Prefecture, we definitely recommend Awaji.
Sightseeing in Awaji

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, which can be seen from 0:12 in the video, is the most famous tourist area in Awaji City.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is also the longest suspension bridge in the world.
Crossing the Akashi Strait connecting Higashimaiko, Tarumi in Kobe and Iwaya in Awaji, the bridge has a total length of 3,911m and the longest central span of any suspension bridge in the world at 1,991 m.

Boasting an area of 6,700m2, this is one of the largest botanical gardens in Japan.
The theme of the museum is to experience nature with all five senses and live in harmony with it, and with approximately 3,000 species of plants on display, it's a must-see tourist attraction for plant lovers.
