History
Kajiki is located on a small valley and a plain. The mountains dominate the north and west.
It is accessible via the Kyūshū Expressway at Interchange 25-1, which also connects to another freeway heading east. The interchange was opened on December 13, 1973, and was extended north to Mizobe-Kagoshima Airport on November 29, 1976. On March 25, 1992, a section was opened, which became the East Kyūshū Expressway on December 19, 2001, when the connection was completed.
On March 23, 2010, Kajiki, along with the towns of Aira (former) and Kamō (all from Aira District), was merged to create the city of Aira. Aira District will be left with one municipality.
