Yaotsutown is situated in south-eastern Gifu Prefecture, surrounded by mountains, with the Kiso river running through it's center.Like many other parts of Gifu, Yaotsu is full of rice fields, small farms, and is ringed with nature.
Visitors come to Yaotsu to see these seasonal changes as well as to visit the unique memorial park called "The Hill of Humanity," a memorial to Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat born in Yaotsu in 1900.
Yaotsutown built the "Hill of Humanity" park five years ago to tell the story of Chiune Sugihara and his merits to the world.
