Hinoemata

Hinoemata combines a secluded mountain setting with a living performing-arts tradition in a way that reflects its position within the high country of southern Fukushima Prefecture. Much of the village lies amid the forested mountains associated with Oze National Park, whose broad Ozegahara wetland is one of Japan’s best-known highland marshes. The area is also linked to Mount Hiuchigatake, the highest mountain in Fukushima. Hinoemata Kabuki, staged by local residents at the village’s traditional outdoor theatre, maintains a community practice rather than a museum display. Roads, inns and seasonal travel have long connected this remote settlement with walkers bound for Oze. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Hinoemata and Fukushima.
