Located in the mountains of the Hata area, it has attracted attention due to the broadcast of the NHK TV drama series ``Ranman'' and has become a proud spot in Japan.

The Hata region of Kochi Prefecture is located at the southwestern tip of Shikoku, and is a peninsula that juts out into the Pacific Ocean, facing Tosa Bay to the east and Bungo Channel to the west. It is made up of three cities, two towns, and one village: Hara Village. It is a natural powerhouse rich in blessings, including the nationally famous Shimanto River and Cape Ashizuri, the blessings of the Kuroshio Current that flows along the coast, and the blessings of mountains that boast the largest area of forests in the country.
Mihara Village has nothing to offer, but that's what makes it so appealing.
There aren't many attractions compared to other places, but that's the charm of Mihara Village.
It's so relaxing that you can just spend a day without thinking about anything, and it's filled with a world view that makes it seem as if time has stopped.
Mihara Village is a place where you can visit, spend time there, and return home without bringing anything.
