Totsukawa [village] - Totsukawa

Japanese: 十津川[村] - とつかわ

A village in Yoshino County, southern Nara Prefecture. It is the largest village in Honshu, occupying the Totsugawa River basin. There is little arable land, and the farmhouses scattered across the mountainside are mainly engaged in forestry. During the Nanboku-cho period, it was the military and economic rear base of the Yoshino Court, and in the early modern period it was under the jurisdiction of the Gojo Magistrate's Office. Totsugawa samurai, said to be surviving retainers of the Southern Court, joined the Tenchu-gumi at the end of the Edo period and caused the Totsugawa Incident. It used to be a long-distance isolated village, but National Route 168 runs through it, and forestry resources and power generation development is underway as part of the Yoshino-Kumano Regional Comprehensive Development Project. In 2004, the sacred sites and pilgrimage routes in the Kii Mountain Range were registered on the World Heritage List (Omine Okugake Trail, Tamaki Shrine). ^{672.38 km2} . 4,107 people (2010).

奈良県南部，吉野郡の村。十津川流域を占める本州最大の村で，耕地は少なく山腹に散在する農家は林業を主とする。南北朝期には吉野朝の軍事・経済上の後背基地で，近世には五条代官所の管下にあった。南朝の遺臣と伝えられる十津川郷士は幕末，天誅(てんちゅう)組に参加，十津川の変を起こした。長い間隔絶村であったが，国道168号線が通じ，吉野熊野特定地域総合開発による林業資源・電源開発が進んでいる。2004年紀伊山地の霊場と参詣道が世界遺産条約の文化遺産リストに登録された（大峯奥駈道，玉置神社）。672.38km²。4107人（2010）。
