Aka Village is in the mountains at the eastern end of Chikuho, on the border with the Keichiku area. The Heisei Chikuho Railway Tagawa Line runs through it, and the stone Uchida three-arch bridge remains. It is Chikuho's only village never to have merged or become a town, and it has Genji no Mori, a nature-rich forest.
