Mihara Village

Kochi Prefecture · Village

Mihara Village lies on a plateau surrounded by mountains in southwestern Kochi Prefecture and borders Shimanto City, Sukumo City, and Tosashimizu City. It is known as a "doburoku special zone," where farms in the village brew doburoku (unrefined sake). In the Sengoku period it was the land of the Shikichi clan, who built Yunoki Castle.
