Yamatsuri Town is at the southernmost end of the prefecture and borders Ibaraki Prefecture, and the Kuji River flows around Mt. Yamatsuri. Mt. Yamatsuri is a scenic spot of strange rocks and gorges, and the Ayu no Tsuribashi suspension bridge spans the river. The town also drew attention for issuing a "declaration of no merger" during the great Heisei-era municipal mergers.
