Fukusaki Town is located in the southwest of Hyogo Prefecture, formerly known as "Banshu" or "Harima Province." In the past, it flourished as a key transportation hub where roads linking the east and west and the north and south intersected. On May 3, 1956, Tahara Village, Yachikusa Village, and the former Fukusaki Town merged to form the town we see today. Even today, the town remains an important transportation hub, with the JR Bantan Line, Bantan Link Road, and National Route 312 running north to south, and the Chugoku Expressway and Prefectural Route Miki-Shiso Line running east to west. Furthermore, Fukusaki Town is a rural city surrounded by lush green mountains, with the Ichikawa River flowing through the center of town, and is a region rich in history and cultural heritage.
