{{nihongo|'''Hinamizawa'''|雛見沢}} is a fictional village in Japan based off of [[Wikipedia:Shirakawa, Gifu (village)|Shirakawa, Gifu]]. Hinamizawa serves as the primary location in which {{higurashi}} takes place. Many residents of Hinamizawa believe in the village god [[Oyashiro-sama]], an ancient deity believed to be guarding the village.
