Hirono Town is in the southern Hamadori region and was Hirono-juku, a shukuba (post town) on the Hama Kaido road, in the Edo period. Because of its warm climate with little snow, it calls itself "the town that announces spring to Tohoku." J-Village, the national soccer training center, is located in the town and extends into Naraha Town.
