Innamino

Japanese: 印南野 - いなみの
Innamino

A plateau in the central-southern part of Hyogo Prefecture, covering the former Kako District. Bordered to the east by the Akashi River, to the west by the Kako River, and to the north by the Mino River, the area overlooks the Harimanada Sea to the south, stretching 20km from east to west and 10km from north to south. It is the western gateway to Kinai, and is referred to as Innamino in the Harima no Kuni Fudoki, and Innamino, Inamino, and Inabino in the Manyoshu. During the Heian period, it was a prohibited field. Due to poor irrigation conditions, cotton cultivation was the main crop during the Edo period, but it declined in the early Meiji period. With the completion of the Ogo River and Yamada River Canal in 1915 (Taisho 4), rice paddy cultivation progressed. The countless reservoirs, large and small, create a magnificent landscape.

Japanese:

兵庫県中南部、旧加古郡一帯の台地。東は明石(あかし)川、西は加古川、北は美嚢(みの)川で境し、南は播磨灘(はりまなだ)を望む、東西20キロメートル、南北10キロメートルの地域である。畿内(きない)の西の玄関口であり、『播磨国風土記(ふどき)』には印南野、『万葉集』には印南野、稲見野、稲日野(いなびの)として詠まれている。平安時代には禁野(きんや)であった。水利条件が悪く、江戸時代はワタ作を主としたが、明治前期に衰退した。1915年(大正4)の淡河(おうご)川・山田川疎水(そすい)の完成で水田化が進展した。大小無数の溜池(ためいけ)景観はみごとである。
