Hifumigaoka Peripheral Region
| |||||||
Sorry for our appearance, but this article currently needs a lot of work.
The Hifumigaoka Peripheral Region (ヒフミヶ丘周辺地域, Hifumigaoka Shūhen Chiiki) is the main setting of Digimon Universe Appli Monsters (3DS). It encompasses four towns: Hifumigaoka, Yongendōri, Nikotamagawa, and Mihamakou, arranged from west to east. The towns' names incorporate Japanese numeral readings, reflecting the order in which they are first visited.
The region is undergoing a process of modernization, with network-connected technology incorporated into everyday life. Its roads feature electric car chargers, electronic news bulletins are displayed throughout the streets, and its vending machines can speak and use their Internet connections to ensure that their products remain stocked.
Areas[edit]
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Hifumigaoka ("Hifumi Hill") |
The westernmost town and the starting location of the adventure. It is divided into northern and southern districts and includes Hifumigaoka Middle School, residential neighborhoods, parks, shops, and a sewer system. |
| Yongendōri ("Yongen Street") |
A town east of Hifumigaoka. Its explorable areas include a residential district, Mount Yongen, and a sewer system. Kayo lives here. |
| Nikotamagawa ("Nikotama River") |
A riverside town between Yongendōri and Mihamakou, divided into northern and southern districts. Kazuki/Itsuki visits it to challenge Wakaba, the F Rank Master. |
| Mihamakou ("Mihama Port") |
The easternmost town, situated on the coast. Its explorable areas include a bridge and a warehouse district, where the Mihama Gang can be found. |
Relationship with the AR-Field[edit]
The region has a corresponding AR-Field, a parallel world whose layout closely resembles that of the Real World. Appli Drivers can use their Appli Drives to move between the two environments. Although ordinary humans cannot see the AR-Field, Appli Drivers can perceive distortions in the Real World that indicate the presence of Appmon.
Within the AR-Field, Kazuki/Itsuki can interact with Appmon and other Appli Drivers, collect Appmon Chip Fragments, and battle hostile Appmon. Devices in the Real World can also become entrances to AR Dungeons through the activities of Appmon. These dungeons form additional explorable spaces associated with locations throughout the region.

Video Games[edit]
Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]
Kazuki/Itsuki travels throughout the region while challenging the Rank Masters and investigating incidents involving Appmon. The World Map app allows travel between its principal areas as the adventure progresses.
Hifumigaoka Middle School becomes the site of the first Chaos AR-Field incident when Jammingmon installs a Chaos Gate on its rooftop. The resulting disruption interferes with communications in the Cyber Arena and prevents participation in certain battles and tournaments.
After Kazuki/Itsuki reaches S-Rank, further Chaos Gates threaten the region. A Chaos AR-Field engulfs Hifumigaoka, while additional gates appear in Mihamakou's warehouse district and Yongendōri. Kazuki/Itsuki must enter the affected areas and defeat the infected Appmon guarding the gates.
The crisis later escalates when the infected Rebootmon spreads the corruption into the Real World, exposing ordinary humans to attacks by infected Appmon. Rebootmon ultimately restores the system to its previous state by rebooting it.
