Kayo [town] - Kayo

Japanese: 賀陽[町] - かよう
Kayo [town] - Kayo
A former town in Jobo District, central Okayama Prefecture. Most of the town is made up of the Kibi Plateau, but the main settlement, Toyono, is in the Takenosho Basin in the north, and in addition to rice farming, the town also cultivates tobacco and livestock. The Gokei River (a scenic spot) straddling the city of Soja in the south is famous for its cliffs and strange stone pillars. In October 2004, it merged with Kamogawa Town, Mitsu District, to become a town, forming Kibichuo Town. Area: 127.58 km2. Population: 8,444 (2003).
