History [ edit ]

The name of "Futami" derives from that the district faces two seas, the Sea of Japan and Uchiura Bay , which is a bay of the Pacific Ocean . Yakumo is the only municipality facing both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean.

• On October 1, 2005, the old town of Yakumo (from Yamakoshi District , Oshima Subprefecture ) merged with the town of Kumaishi (from Nishi District , Hiyama Subprefecture ) to create the new and expanded town of Yakumo . ^[1] The former town of Kumaishi joined Oshima Subprefecture at the same time.
