The Municipality of Hirijikome is a small town located upon the eastern shores of the northeastern isle of the Rokuman Archipeligo.[2][1.2]

Hirijikome is a bread-basket of its isle, and perhaps the biggest farming town in all of Rokuskima Taiyoo. It is named after its primary crop, rice, which is said to be blessed by one of the many kami resident on the island. Whether this is true or not, it certainly has had an abundant yield.
