A district in Yuzawa City, southern Akita Prefecture. The former Kawatsura Town became Inaniwa Kawatsura Town in 1956 (Showa 31), changed its name to Inagawa Town in 1966, and was merged into Yuzawa City in 2005 (Heisei 17). It is known for Kawatsura lacquerware, which the feudal lord Onodera encouraged his vassals to do as a side job in the Middle Ages. Today, production of everyday items such as bowls and trays is still thriving, and the area is designated as a national traditional craft. The Kawatsura Lacquerware Traditional Crafts Museum is located here. National Route 398 runs through the area.
