Hirogawa Town is nestled between the sea, mountains, and rivers, offering a rich natural environment. The area is famous for its shallow, sandy Nishihiro Beach, which becomes a bustling hub in the summer. The local economy thrives on agriculture and forestry, with a focus on citrus cultivation like Satsuma mandarins, benefiting from the warm Kuroshio Current. The town holds significant historical value for its connection to the "Inamura-no-Hi" (Fire of Rice Sheaves) tale, a story of tsunami warning and disaster prevention. This legacy is preserved at the "Inamura-no-Hi no Yakata" museum and the nationally designated historic site, "Hiro Village Levee." The annual Inamura-no-Hi Festival in October draws many visitors. In 2018, the town's collection of disaster prevention heritage, "'Hyakusei no Ando' - Living Memories of Tsunami and Reconstruction in Hirogawa," was designated as a Japan Heritage site.
