Fuku-kun with a beautiful fur

Goryokaku Tower and cherry blossoms 🌸 in Hakodate One of my favorites 📷 When the weather is good, you can ☀️ take really beautiful pictures My favorite 🩷 cherry blossom spot in Hokkaido is Goryokaku There are a lot of cherry blossoms blooming in Goryokaku, so you can capture various beautiful landscapes depending on the photographer and the angle from which you take 🥹 the picture

It will start lighting up tomorrow! Today's weather is a little chilly, but the cherry blossoms have begun to bloom and are blooming for 2 minutes. The chilly weather is expected to continue until tomorrow, but from Friday it is expected to be sunny with temperatures exceeding 20 degrees Celsius. It is expected that 2,300 Prunus sargentii（Ezo cherry trees） will begin to bloom all at once this weekend. In addition, the 40 or so forsythia plants planted at the Shintoku Mountain trailhead are also in full bloom with Forsythia, so please enjoy spring with cherry blossoms and forsythia day and night this weekend.

I accompanied her on a herring fishing trip. "I want to support the beaches of all provinces!" radio personality and Yoko Totsui also came to town urgently, and they thoroughly enjoyed the herring fishing in Omu Town, Okhotsk. The size of the herring, which is in season now, varies depending on the net you set. The Kichimaru embarkation used a large net, so a lot of thick and large fish were caught. The herring fishery is settling down, but it is lined up in stores here and there in the town. I would like you to try the herring from Yubu that is satisfying to eat.

A deep-sea fish that is pink and plump like jelly. It is "Salmon snailfish". IN NOBORIBETSU, WHERE NOBORIBETSU MARINE PARK NIXE IS LOCATED, IT IS ONE OF THE FAMOUS FISH! It comes into a net that catches shrimp called shrimp basket fishing. Pink and beautiful round eyes... Don't you feel like you're being sucked in when you stare at it?

Jump from the water!! We captured the moment when the gentoo penguins jumped out of the water.

We took a walk to Tsukisamu Park in Sapporo. Are the cherry blossoms about to bloom?　It was about that. There was a pile of what looked like an old lawn. Because there are people who manage the park, I thought I was enjoying it in this way. I'm grateful for that.

[Spring Window Art in Kam] On Saturday, April 13, Roadside Station Kam hosted an event to paint pictures on windows! This time we commissioned a professional artist to create coloring spaces on some of the windows. First, we visited the Flower Park before it opened and observed the crocuses just beginning to bloom and the trails mice likely left after tunneling through the snow. It was heartwarming to see children walking in a line along the stones that border the flower area. The event was themed “Flowers and Animals,” so I was glad we could look at the flowers that are actually blooming as the snow melted before we started drawing. As the windows filled with color, Roadside Station Kam seemed to brim with spring cheer. It was a short one-hour event, but thank you to everyone who participated! The artwork will be on display until mid-May. A Kam Marche is also scheduled from Friday, May 3 through Sunday, May 5. Please stop by Roadside Station Kam! #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Window Art #Painting #Drawn on windows #Crayons #Coloring #Flower Park #Kam #Roadside Station #Marche from Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5

Chicken Butchering Gathering Known as the "Bird Gathering," this event was held the day after the screening of "A Butcher Shop Story" as a collaborative program. The event took place at Minami Farm, a dairy farm in Nishiokoppe, and nearly 50 people attended. The plan was to slaughter four chickens and enjoy them as a meal. The first chicken was handled by a professional, and from the second onward volunteers who wished to took part in slaughtering. The birds that were slaughtered were skillfully broken down into parts by experienced hands. Cut into small pieces and placed on skewers, the meat began to resemble the yakitori sold in shops. During the butchering, feathers that had fallen drifted on the wind. Some of the children present held those feathers as if they were precious. In addition to bite-sized pieces and a whole roasted bird, we enjoyed ramen served with a soup made by simmering the chicken with vegetables. Every dish that participants brought to share was delicious. The sweet Filipino-style rice balls were also tasty. There was even a surprise performance of shovel shamisen. It was a day that made us appreciate having such a gathering nearby. Thank you to everyone who helped. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #chicken #butchering #Bird Gathering #Minami Farm #potluck dish #feathers drifting in the wind #feather quill #shovel shamisen #spring weather

A Family That Raises Cattle, Slaughters Them, and Turns Them into Meat A special screening theater was set up in the public hall’s audiovisual room A screening was held on Saturday, April 6. Living cattle and the beef people eat. For some reason, the process between those two seems hard to see. Valuing life and gratefully receiving life as food. For that purpose, a family running a certain butcher shop has passed down their craft and faced life and meat directly. The butcher and the community’s ties. The sound of drums with leather skins thunders through town during the danjiri festival. It was 106 minutes packed with many themes. Across three screenings, about 60 people in total attended—thank you. #Nishiokoppe Village #Public Hall #Audiovisual Room #Screening #The Story of a Certain Butcher Shop #Yashio Film Company #Scattered Children’s Handwriting #Free Admission #Thanks for the Sound System #Block Play Behind the Scenes of the Screening
