Hatakami & Mihara
����@�@�O��
*  Hatakami and Mihara are two very small, remote farming villages of eastern Minato (Koto).  [See the map of the Minato area]  Now, this is what is meant by "inaka" (country)!  There have been bear sightings here (but only one in all three years I've been here), but I wouldn't worry about it too much...
