Japekrom is a town in the Jaman South Municipality of the Bono Region of Ghana. It has been an important town since the colonial Gold Coast days in Ghana's History, then referred to as Pruano (on the riverbank of Pru-river) but spelled as Pulliano in colonial Gold Coast maps. The Japekromhene has direct blood relations with the Gyamanhene, the overlord of the 'Bono' Kingdom, who currently resides in la Côte d'Ivoire. The township was built on a foundation of solid stone and as a result of resistance to any form of suppression or oppression. During the pre-colonial and early post-colonial years, Japekrom became one of the central places of convergence of the people of the Gyaman 'Bono' Kingdom.

  • Japekrom is a town in the Jaman South Municipality of the Bono Region of Ghana. It has been an important town since the colonial Gold Coast days in Ghana's History, then referred to as Pruano (on the riverbank of Pru-river) but spelled as Pulliano in colonial Gold Coast maps. The Japekromhene has direct blood relations with the Gyamanhene, the overlord of the 'Bono' Kingdom, who currently resides in la Côte d'Ivoire. The township was built on a foundation of solid stone and as a result of resistance to any form of suppression or oppression. During the pre-colonial and early post-colonial years, Japekrom became one of the central places of convergence of the people of the Gyaman 'Bono' Kingdom. The current Gyamanhene, His Royal Majesty Nana Kwasi Adinkra Agyemang IV, had some of his early education at Japekrom. Traditional leaders of the Japekrom strongly uphold the principles of truth, fairness, hard work, a welcoming heart, inclusion and preservation of culture. The people of Japekrom are very welcoming of people from other tribes and cultures. The original settlers on the riverbank of Pru (Pruano) prospected for gold and other minerals along the banks of river Pru. Two major rivers in the Japekrom city are Pru and Papasu. The chiefs and people of Mpuasu-Japekrom Traditional Area are known for the celebration of the annual Munufie Festival (annual yam harvest festival). This is usually celebrated at Japekrom in the last quarter of every year and brings together chiefs, queen mothers, dignitaries and several people (both in Ghana and abroad) to participate and witness the events. It is celebrated to mark the close of the farming season and to set the tone for the commencement of the yet another farming season. It is the major festival of the Mpuasu-Japekrom Traditional Area. The central point of Japekrom and its environs (including villages within 10 kilometers) has a total population of about 34,107. This implies that a greater portion of the population of the municipality lives around Japekrom. Japekrom has a settlement population of about 34,107. (en)
