Kitahiroshima, Hiroshima
hitaru houses are located in the mountain countryside of Kitahiroshima, about one hour from Hiroshima City.
Surrounded by forests, rivers, and farmland, the area has long been a place where people live in close connection with the land.
The scenery changes with each season — fresh green in spring, deep forests in summer, colorful mountains in autumn, and quiet snowy landscapes in winter.
Here, the pace of life is slower, and the silence is part of the experience.
