Everything about Kuchi Kagoshima totally explained
is a
city located in
Kagoshima,
Japan.
Ōkuchi is the northernmost city on the mainland part of
Kagoshima Prefecture. Only the island portion of
Nagashima extends further north. Ōkuchi is a mountainous area that borders on
Kumamoto Prefecture and
Miyazaki Prefecture. Part of the southern border of the city is the Sendai River and the artificial lake formed from the Tsuruta dam. It is the only city in
Kagoshima Prefecture that isn't bordered by the sea.
At one time, Ōkuchi was a prosperous city but has declined for several reasons in recent years. First, there has been a decline in forestry and agriculture in the area, but the aging Japanese population and the flight to larger cities have also been significant factors. For these reasons two
Japanese National Railways railway lines that served Ōkuchi were discontinued in the 1987 and 1988. They were the Yamano line that went from
Minamata to
Kurino and the Miyajo line that went from
Sendai to Ōkuchi.
As of
2003, the city has an estimated
population of 22,773 and the
density of 78.02 persons per
km². The total area is 291.88 km².
The city was founded on
April 1,
1954.
