Kokawa's air quality reflects the Wakayama Prefecture Kinokawa River valley position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the peach, persimmon, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. Consistent Pacific and Kinokawa valley breezes provide background ventilation, while the surrounding Kii Mountains create topographic variation and Kokawa generally maintains moderate to good conditions for a Wakayama Prefecture inland valley agricultural city throughout most of the year.
