Jougamachi? (Anime Real Question)

Hello~
Does anyone know is the town in the Anime Ookami Kakushi real or fiction?

Because "Hinamizawa" (Shirakawa-go) really exist and i was wondering if it the same with "Jougamachi" under a other Name?

Of course i have no chance to found it if i don't know the real Name ;_;

The town may really exist if you want, because the profile of the town is a typical rural town of Japan. You can see similar towns in every mountainous area.

By the way Hinamizawa is a fictitious place modeled on Shirakawa-go.
Of course I don't know the town called Jyogamachi.

That really help me, thank you. *roll eyes*

Uuhuhu really!?
Hinamizawa not exist?
OMG... and I was going to run around in Shirakawa-go like Rena, carrying a bloody Axe and screaming: Oyashiro-sama~~~ gomen nasai, gomen nasai!! O,_,O

I have write that i KNOW that it is fiction -.- have I?

And of course i know that there are MANY, MANY little towns exist in Japan.
THAT's why I'm asking here.
Maybe a japanese Fan know something because the Game is out for a long time.

A little hint will do... i hope xD
Onegai~ that would making my Higurashi/Umineko/Ookami Trip perfect xD
(By the way... i know that Rokkenjima don't exist :D)

Now that we have this, new people can make fun of my bad writing english, spamming this Topic.

Wikipedia said "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa (雛見沢?) (based on the village of Shirakawa, Gifu, a World Heritage Site)"

The model of Hinamizawa is definitely Shirakawa-go.

But, case of Jyougamachi, I suppose it is difficult to recognize the model.
By the way few shrines have relationship with wolf though many shrines have relationship with fox. Mitsumine shrine in Saitama prefecture is the rare shrine which has guardian wolf.

But I don’t know if it affected the anime.

Yeah~ i have found that shrine too! *-*
The wolf thing look good.
But I don't think you can see the village from it...?

And~ the City is Chichibu.

It looks really too big...
Maybe it is a little Village on the other site of the Moutain?
But when you look at (1), the City looks big...

Tsuwano really looks a lot like it...
But when you see how exactly they draw Hinamizawa... 1:1

... AAAAH ;_; *going crazy*
Eyes are hurt from hours over hours googling...

I praise your research. You seem as if you are living in Japan and are fluent in Japanese. The town may have been modeled on Chichibu. But I'm not sure because I've never visited Chichibu and I'm not even a big fan of anime. I had not particular intention to having uploaded link of Tsuwano. Sorry, if it had bothered you.

By the way, the Jougamachi town office wrote that Hassaku 八朔 and Jouga-Tsumugi　嫦娥 紬are noted products 特産物 of them, on their website.

Hassaku 八朔 is Citrus hassaku.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8F%E3%83%83%E3%82%B5%E3%82%AF
It is not a noted product of Chichibu. (It’s a product of warmer area rather.)

Tsumugi 紬 is pongee. And Chichibu has similar cloth, Chichibu-meisen, as noted product.

But some other towns have similar cloth as noted products, too.

I suppose the author referred to some towns and created Jougamachi.
