Official websiteKochi Prefecture page
Hidaka Village lies in a basin where the Niyodo River and its tributary, the Kusaka River, flow. Its name takes 1 character each from "Nihon" (Japan) and "Kochi Prefecture." The village produces high-sugar "sugar tomatoes" and promotes itself with an "Omurice Road" using them. Omura Shrine, the second-ranked shrine of Tosa Province, holds a National Treasure sword.
