Kaneyama Town is approaching its 100th anniversary.

Blending documentary and mysticism, the short film captures Kaneyama’s everyday life, beautiful landscapes, and rich history.
Featuring 185 townspeople, it is set to two original songs, “Ryu” and “Tsumore Tsumore,” written by singer-songwriter Fuki Kitamura.
