The origin of my name, "Kourogi," dates back about 3,000 years. It is derived from the name of an ancient god. The area around Gokase Town where I live is known as the home of the gods, as it is home to some of the oldest geological layers in Japan. The high altitude allows you to feel the cool breeze even in summer. Please come and experience the breath of the gods and the fresh air.
