ABOUT THE LOCAL GUIDE

Based in
Hirokoji.

Close enough to record the street as it changes.

Explore Hanno is independently produced from Hirokoji in central Hanno. It is not operated by the city, tourism association, shrine or event organisers.

FIRST-HAND ACCESS

Before, during and after.

Living beside Hirokoji makes repeated observation possible: an empty street before dawn, rain before the festival, preparations, festival days and the return to ordinary life.

This proximity is not presented as an official title. The evidence is the dated photography, field audio and corrections policy published on the site.
