Nestled in Tokushima Prefecture's Iya Valley, Nagoro—also known as "Scarecrow Village"—is home to a population where life-sized dolls significantly outnumber human residents. Local artist Tsukimi Ayano began crafting these dolls to represent former villagers who had moved away or passed on, placing them in various poses throughout the village: tending fields, fishing by the river, or attending classes in the now-closed school. This poignant art installation serves both as a tribute to the past and a creative response to rural depopulation, transforming Nagoro into a living museum that attracts visitors worldwide.
Nagoro features over 350 life-sized dolls, while the human population has dwindled to around 27 residents as of 2019.
Tsukimi Ayano returned to Nagoro in the early 2000s and started creating these dolls to memorialize former villagers, placing them in lifelike poses throughout the community.
The village has become a unique tourist destination, drawing visitors intrigued by its blend of art and commentary on rural depopulation.
Nagoro hosts an annual Scarecrow Festival on the first Sunday of October, featuring events like photo contests and traditional rice cake throwing.
