History

The area of Kashihara was the center of ancient Yamato Province, and contains many kofun burial mounds. The exact spot of Emperor Jimmu's accession to the imperial throne (i.e. the foundation of Japan) was debated for centuries until in 1863 scholars of national studies claimed to have identified an area within Kashihara as the exact location. The city was the location of the Imperial capital Fujiwara-kyō, from 694 to 710. During the Sengoku period, Imai-cho was a fortified city surrounded by a moat as a missionary base for the Ikko sect of Buddhism which fought against the army of Oda Nobunaga, but was disarmed, but was allowed to exercise jurisdiction and developed into an autonomous city. In the late 16th century it was said to be one of the two richest autonomous cities of Japan, as in Umi no Sakai, Riku no Imai (tr. "by the sea, Sakai – inland, Imai" - Imai or ja:今井町 is now a part of Kashihara).

The town of Imai was established on April 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. It was raised to city status on February 11, 1956 by merging with the towns of Yagi and Unebi and the villages of Masuge, Kamoko and Maminashi. The city annexed the villages of Kanahashi and Shinzawa on July 3, 1956.

On 8 July 2022, after former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot while campaigning in Nara City, he was taken to Nara Medical University Hospital in Kashihara for treatment, but died there.[5]
