The Mikomori Region is the area around Mount Hikami in Fatal Frame V. The religious practices and beliefs of Mount Hikami spread throughout the region in a fragmentary way. Young women might be summoned to the mountain to serve as maidens, and inhabitants who wished to die a proper death would make a pilgrimage there. In some places, water from the mountain was used on special occasions. Dr. Kunihiko Asou travelled all over the area taking postmortem photographs.
