Hinamizawa

Hinamizawa is a village in Japan, that serves as the main location of the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series, and as the setting of "When The Brothers Cry".

A quiet village in the mountains, Hinamizawa seems peaceful enough at first glance, but the town is haunted by an annual curse that focuses on the traditional festival of the village, Watanagashi, also known as the "Cotton Drifting Festival".
