Rural Anime Town

Kamiichi, nestled in Toyama Prefecture, is the real-world inspiration for the rural setting of Mamoru Hosoda’s acclaimed anime film Wolf Children. This tranquil town, surrounded by the Tateyama Mountains, served as the backdrop for the story of Hana and her children, Yuki and Ame, as they navigate life in harmony with nature. A highlight for fans is the preserved farmhouse that inspired the family's home in the film; visitors can explore the interior, relax in the garden, and immerse themselves in the serene atmosphere depicted in the anime. The surrounding forests and trails offer picturesque views that mirror the film’s lush scenery, making Kamiichi a must-visit destination for enthusiasts seeking a tangible connection to Wolf Children.
