Swordsmith Village

The Swordsmith Village (の) is the titular location of the Swordsmith Village Arc. It is a hidden village where all the swordsmiths who make weapons for Demon Slayers reside. In order to travel to the village, one must be transferred via multiple Kakushi and Kasugai Crows while blindfolded.

History
Though it is unknown when the Swordsmith Village was established, it is mentioned that the place has existed for over 300 years. As the name suggests, the village is home to the swordsmiths who forge the Nichirin Swords for members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

In order to prevent demons from attacking the village, the place is kept well hidden within the forest and its exact location is kept confidential. Demon Slayers who wants to visit the village must travel blindfolded with ear and nose plugs while piggybacking a Kakushi. After a while, the Kakushi passes the traveler on to the next Kakushi. Furthermore, they frequently change the routes and the Kakushi along them. Even the Kakushi's carrying the travelers don't know the location themselves. Kasugai Crows lead each Kakushi to the place of the next Kakushi, but those crows often change as well.

All inhabitants of the village are commonly seen wearing variations of hyottoko masks in order to keep their identity concealed, a tactic used to protect them from being tracked.

Layout
The village consists of foundries and workshops where swordsmiths work on forging and repairing Nichirin Swords, as well as houses where the swordsmiths live. The village also creates and stores mechanical dolls that are made for Demon Slayers to train on, including Yoriichi Type Zero.

Besides playing an essential role in keeping the Demon Slayers equipped, the village also contain a hot spring with all kinds of healing properties. It is located at the top of a hill. By having a long soak, the hot springs can help heal cuts, burns, hemorrhoids, constipation, gout, diabetes, high blood pressure, anemia, gallstones, muscle pain, joint pain, warped personality, rudeness, hay fever, itchy navel and the pain of a broken heart.

A visiting Demon Slayer must always visit the chief Tecchin Tecchikawahara's home first and greet him before doing anything else. From the entrance gate of the village the visitor can walk through to the end of the street and turn left to find the chief's house.
