References in Pop Culture[edit]

Should references in pop culture (such as Higurashi) be included in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikazuki3 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly where are the villages?[edit]

Why no map of Japan with a pinpoint location for these places?

Most other articles/entries that are about communities/towns/cities have a visual map (region, county, province, state, country, etc.) with the location pinpointed. Why not here? 68.231.71.119 (talk) 11:45, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
