Satosho Town is located in southwestern Okayama Prefecture, between Kasaoka City and Asakuchi City.
It is the birthplace of Yoshio Nishina, regarded as the father of Japanese atomic physics. The town has made a concerted effort to grow its specialty, makomotake (Manchurian wild rice shoots), and has also held robot competitions for junior high and high school students for more than 30 years, reflecting its longstanding commitment to manufacturing and learning.
