Wolf Children

The house Hana and the children move to is a real farmhouse in **Kamiichi**, a mountain town in Toyama. A local NPO borrows it from the owner and keeps it open to the public as **"the house of the wolf children"** — the kitchen, the furniture and the pillar with the children's heights marked on it are all recreated as they appear in the film. **Entry is free**; the organisation runs on donations and an unstaffed souvenir stall. Very few pilgrimage sites are maintained this way, by neighbours rather than by a company, and it shows.
