Sera, Rural town in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
Sera is a rural town in east-central Hiroshima Prefecture surrounded by neighboring communities. The landscape is defined by agricultural fields, forests, and the rural infrastructure that supports farming throughout the region.
The town formed during the Heian period around Ryuge-ji temple and later served as a trading post connecting the mountain routes. This heritage shaped its development for centuries.
Traditional farming shapes daily life here, with local growers focusing on matsutake mushrooms, pears, tomatoes, and rice depending on the season. You can see these crops across the surrounding fields and notice how central agriculture is to the town's identity.
The town is accessible by the JR West Fukuen Line and national highways connecting to larger cities. Visitors should plan ahead since the area is rural and services are spread out.
The town has experienced significant population loss over recent decades, which shapes the landscape and the pace of daily life. This shift reflects broader changes happening in rural communities across Japan.
