Template:Infobox City Japan

Ōtsuki (大月町, Ōtsuki-chō) is a town located in the south-western end of Kōchi Prefecture (高知県, Kōchi-ken) in an area known as the Hata District (幡多郡, Hata-gun).

Having a mild climate, Ōtsuki has developed through the promotion of its agriculture, forestry and fishing industries. An economically friendly community that has invested in 12 wind-powered generators, the town takes pride in its ocean and natural environment, which is approximately 70% comprised of heavily wooded mountain forests. Its neighbours are Tosashimizu City (土佐清水市, Tosashimizu-shi) to the east and Sukumo City (宿毛市, Sukumo-shi) to the north. ^[1]

Population

Although the town had 13,688 people back in 1960, Ōtsuki town has seen a steady decline in population with each year^[2] due to its residents moving to more populated areas to find work. The tendency for those living in the countryside moving to a major city for employment is a growing concern, not only for this town, but all of Japan.

As of April 2009, the town has an estimated population of 6,379 with a population density of 61.9 persons per km². ^[3]

History

After the union of Ōuchi Town (大内町, Ōuchi-chō) and Tsukinada Village (月灘村, Tsukinada-son) in Feb. 11, 1957, the region came to be known as Ōtsuki Town. ^[3]
