Nestled in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka, Dainihon Hotokusha is a place where visitors can experience the same conviction and discipline that define the warriors of Demon Slayer. The enduring philosophy of Hotoku—to govern oneself and act with compassion toward others—still thrives within its wooden halls. Standing in its solemn silence feels like stepping into a training ground of the Corps, inviting introspection and inner strength.

Covered in ancient forests and veiled in fog, Mount Kōshin is more than just a mountain — it is a living sanctuary of prayer and reflection. The solitude of Obanai Iguro and the tranquil strength of Muichiro Tokito seem to merge with the very breath of this sacred land. Here, the act of facing oneself becomes a spiritual journey, just as it is for the warriors of Demon Slayer.

At Dorokyo Gorge in Yoshino-Kumano National Park, the scenery mirrors the flamboyance and strength of Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui from “Demon Slayer.” The flowing sounds of the canyon, the glittering reflections of light, and the power of the cliffs together recreate the aesthetic rhythm of Uzui’s battles.

Between narrow slopes, quiet backstreets, and the soft glow of lanterns, Kagurazaka still breathes the atmosphere of the Taisho era depicted in Demon Slayer. In this district, reality and fantasy intertwine, allowing visitors to step into a world where the “Kakushi” might still walk unseen among us.
