is a village located in Nishiyatsushiro District, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.

As of 2006, the village had an estimated population of 1,501 and a density of 17 persons per km². The total area was 86.59 km².

On March 1, 2006:

  • The northern part of Kamikuishiki (the localities of Furuseki and Kakehashi), along with the town of Nakamichi (from Higashiyatsushiro District), was merged into the expanded city of Kōfu.
  • The southern part of Kamikuishiki (the localities of Fujigane, Motosu and Shoji) was merged into the expanded town of Fujikawaguchiko (of Minamitsuru District). Kamikuishiki was officially dissolved as an independent municipality. According to the last mayor Makoto Kobayashi, "financial reasons" made the decision inevitable. Economic decline made the villagers leave for larger areas where jobs are more readily available. Reduced tax collections and aging population also played their role.
