Sera, Rural town in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
Located in east-central Hiroshima Prefecture, Sera spans across 278 square kilometers of land bordered by Fuchū, Higashihiroshima, Mihara, Miyoshi, and Onomichi.
During the Heian period, Sera developed around Ryuge-ji temple, connecting to Mount Koya through rice trade and later becoming a post town on Iwami Ginzan Highway.
The town maintains traditional agricultural practices, with local farmers specializing in the cultivation of matsutake mushrooms, pears, tomatoes, and rice throughout the seasons.
