[Chiheisen Morizumu] Friday, September 4th The cafeteria of GA.KOPPER was overflowing with people, and many were found in the hallway, listening to the relay talk. They gathered in Nishiokoppe Village, a remote area of Hokkaido, from all over the country and even the world to participate in the pre-festival of the Chiheisen Report Meeting "Morizumu." Founded in 1979, the Chiheisen Kaigi is a network of "doers" interested in exploration, adventure, and travel. These are people who place great importance on seeing things firsthand and have been sharing their experiences through monthly report meetings and a booklet called "Chiheisen Tsushin." Although there are no offices, membership fees, or rules, the connections formed over a long time are significant. Reunions with someone met through reports or communications, as well as new encounters, flourished in the village of Nishiokoppe. The gathering on Saturday the 5th began with an opening act by the Chiheisen Proper Conduct Band and the Nishiokoppe Wenshiri Drummers, followed by three report meetings and a venison festival. The traditional "Chiheisen Auction & Relay Talk" was also a great success! On Sunday the 6th, the report meeting was held from 9 AM to around 4 PM, filled with rich discussions. It was three days filled with the energy of those involved in Morizumu. We are truly grateful for choosing Nishiokoppe Village as the venue for such a large-scale gathering and for everyone's efforts to make it happen. We look forward to meeting you again somewhere on our travels!
