Higurashi -The real Hinamizawa - Shirakawa, Gifu 白川村

Not made by me. I found this. I am only reposting it with English tags so other non-Japanese fans of Higurashi can find it as well. This is a view of the real town that inspired the locations in Higurashi. I think you will recognize most of what you see here from the anime. If you can offer any information on what this short film really is. please let everyone know in the comments section below. All I know is what I have already said. The song used in the background is called "You". It was covered in various forms by all the Japanese voice actors from Higurashi When They Cry.

@SaMadierocs It also has the backside of the mill, the school, the clinic, and the river. You can tell from the music whomever made this was also a fan of Higurashi. The song is called "Dear You" or just "You". Each of the Japanese voice actors recorded a version of it.
