Kanamaru

Japanese: 金丸 - かなまる

Located in central Gunma Prefecture, this area stretches from the southern slope of Mount Akagi to the central-northern part of Maebashi City, with Mount Uzurayama at an elevation of 620m as its highest point. Originally a common area for towns and villages at the foot of the mountain, it was sold to private individuals by the Imperial Forestry Bureau in 1925, and settlers began reclamation. Further development took place after World War II, but due to the thick layer of volcanic ash and the high rate of groundwater seepage, the settlements are scattered. Nearby are the National Akagi Youth House and the Gunma Prefectural Livestock Experiment Station.

群馬県中部，標高 620mの鶉山を最高点として赤城山南斜面，前橋市中北部に広がる地域。もと山麓町村の入会地であったが，1925年帝室林野局から民間に払い下げられ，入植者による開墾が進んだ。第2次世界大戦後さらに新たな開拓が行なわれたが，火山灰層が厚く，地下水の浸透度が大きいため，集落は散村を形成。付近に国立赤城青年の家，群馬県畜産試験場がある。
