A mysterious and nostalgic mountain village filled with scarecrows

The Village of Scarecrows in Nagoro is a unique spot where more than 300 scarecrows have been placed throughout the mountain hamlet of Nagoro in Higashi-Iya.
The scarecrows are arranged in scenes that resemble daily life, such as farming, chatting by the roadside, or simply gathering in the village, giving the area an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and slightly surreal.
Because the village is filled with scenes that seem to reflect the lives of its people, simply walking around it becomes a memorable experience.
There is also a “Scarecrow Village Registry,” which adds to the fun of comparing the individual figures as you explore.
It is a fascinating place to experience the mountain-village scenery of Higashi-Iya and the distinctive world created by these scarecrows.
