Inuyama City, situated at the northernmost tip of Aichi Prefecture, is a region rich in nature and history. The western part of the city forms part of the Nobi Plain and is used for urban areas, farmland, and industrial zones. The area along the Kiso River to the north is designated as a place of scenic beauty and is famous for its 1,300-year tradition of cormorant fishing (鵜飼). The eastern hills are covered with lush satoyama (countryside) landscapes and are home to natural monuments like the Hitotsubatago habitat and the man-made Iruka Pond. A major landmark nearby is the historic and iconic Inuyama Castle, one of Japan's few original castles designated as a national treasure, located approximately 1.5 kilometers from the property.
