Harima is a place where the lifestyles and cultures of ancient times are still alive. History has been passed down through countless generations and can be felt throughout the region even today.

Abound with nature, Nishi-Harima is located between the sea and the mountains, and comprises four cities and three towns. Each season, the region displays its stunning scenery, and colorful flowers can be seen year-round.

Nishi-Harima is a treasure trove of delicious foods. It is home to sake, salt, soy sauce, and somen noodle producers, while the fertile Harima plains and the mineral-rich Harima-nada sea yield a variety of other produce. Conger eel, pike conger and oysters are but some among the outstanding selection of seafood available.
