The other day, I set out to discover a new walking course in the former Toyoda Village area, so I walked from JR Iiyama Line kaesa station to lotus station. I started at 6 a.m. while the air was still a bit cool, before it got hot. Listening to stories from staff born or living locally, I walked along the Chikuma River, through villages, and along paths surrounded by rice fields. I crossed the newly built Kanakura Kabeta Bridge and also admired it from below. Since I usually only drive over that bridge, the views felt fresh. Along the way I passed IiyamaLine trains about three times and was reminded how well walking, railways, and scenery go together. The walk took about three hours including breaks. There are still things to improve, but this looks like a refreshingly pleasant course!

Special Exhibition at Hishikawa Moronobu Memorial Hall: “Japanese Yokai in Ukiyo-e” ​ A special exhibition titled “Japanese Yokai in Ukiyo-e — Turn Around and It’s a Mononoke Summer” is now on view at the Hishikawa Moronobu Memorial Hall. The show introduces 100 ukiyo-e prints depicting yokai that are frightening yet somehow humorous. Since ancient times, Japanese people have perceived unseen and mysterious things as mononoke. “When the Edo period arrived, Edo residents—driven by a morbid curiosity—turned mononoke into yokai characters and enjoyed the thrill of fear,” explains curator Hiroki Sasao. ​ One highlight of the exhibition is work by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, a specialist in yokai imagery. Active from the late Tokugawa period into the Meiji era, Yoshitoshi is known for a dramatic, almost comic-book style that captivates viewers with dynamic brushwork. The exhibition also shows actor prints of kabuki performers, offering insight into kabuki plays that feature yokai. “In fact, kabuki is the art form that popularized yokai stories in summer,” says curator Sasao. “It started when a famous kabuki actor took a summer break and a yokai-themed play staged in his absence happened to become a hit.” Curator gallery talks will be held at 1:30 p.m. on July 21 and August 11. The exhibition runs through September 23. ​ Opening hours 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (last admission at 4:30 p.m.) Closed days Mondays (the following Tuesday when Monday is a public holiday) During the New Year holidays (December 29 to January 3) Admission fees Adults and university students: 500 yen (400 yen) Elementary, junior high, and high school students: 400 yen (300 yen) *Prices in parentheses apply to groups of 20 or more. Access By train: 15-minute walk from Hota Station or Awa-Katsuyama Station on the JR Uchibo Line By car: 5 minutes from Kyonan-Hota IC on the Futtsu–Tateyama Toll Road, along Route 127, inside Roadside Station Kyonan

The Summer Solstice is Cub, The Summer Solstice Cub The summer solstice has passed. Before we knew it, the year has already reached its halfway point… At Guesthouse GA.KOPPER an event welcoming Cub riders took place on the day before and on the day of the solstice! This Solstice Cub event was held for the third time this year. Around 20 participants gathered from inside and outside Hokkaido, including the owner’s Cub friends. Contests to decide who could ride a Cub the latest into the night and a game where riders fitted helmets with buckets of water to see how far they could go without spilling much were met with great excitement. After lively Cub conversations and a delicious dinner, we had not a campfire but a Cub fire! Surrounded by rows of participants’ Cubs riders gathered around the fire, drinks in hand, and chatted animatedly. Then, on the morning of the solstice, with sunrise at 3:44 a.m., the Cubs all took off together toward Mt. Wenshiri. No encounters with bears or rain occurred, and we were relieved that everyone returned safely. We thank the teru teru bozu. Whether it’s one year or several years from now, we look forward to meeting again on some future solstice! #GA.KOPPER #Summer Solstice #Cub #Solstice Cub #hokkaider #Kopper-san #chopper #Cub Fire #Geshibashiri

“Mom”’s CD Debut On the night of Saturday, June 15, friends and fans gathered to celebrate someone’s CD debut, joined by a star-studded lineup and about 70 audience members.

She had thought, “I will never sing in front of people in my life,” but listening to a song that reflected her own experiences stirred a desire to sing, she said on stage. On the night of the CD debut, the stage featured guitarists active in the village and the skoppu shamisen players and singers who have performed with Mom. Amid laughter, applause, and occasional call-and-response, the final performer—Mom—confidently sang her song. Some long-time acquaintances were in the audience, and the venue felt lively and warm. The CD is currently being sold by hand. Online sales are planned for the future. Once again, congratulations on your debut, Mom!! Thank you to all the performers for a wonderful stage. #Mom #Mom’s youth is now #CD debut #CD release event #Tour #Nishiokoppe Village #Congratulations

Nishiokoppe, Hokkaido
Jun. 20, 2024
Meditation Time in Nishiokoppe On Saturday, June 8, a yoga and aroma instructor from Mombetsu visited Burari Café! Burari Café has a calming interior and the sunlight coming through the windows felt soft. Because it was hot that day, the breeze flowing in was especially pleasant! In that lovely space, we received a lecture on mindfulness meditation and actually tried meditating. Just closing my eyes and focusing on my breath reminded me again that this is an important time for calming the mind. In the workshop, we also learned how to make an aroma spray! The ingredients aren’t many, and it seems easy to make at home *^^* For the workshop, the essential oils provided were hinoki and yuzu. Both have relaxing effects, and hinoki is said to have deodorizing and insect-repellent properties as well. To close the event, we had a handmade lunch. There was a fluffy omelet baked in the oven and rice mixed with butterbur, along with a lineup of side dishes. The soup contained new onions and ume (Japanese plum)! The tartness of the ume was striking, and I was surprised how well it suited a broth. Thank you for a soothing time! #Nishiokoppe Village #Mindfulness Meditation #Yoga #Aroma #Meditation #Handmade Lunch #Mugwort Cookie #Burari Café

Kankōchi Suwa!!! Introducing the Takashima Castle Festival! May 26, 2024 — held every year on the fourth Sunday of May. We held the 55th Takashima Castle Festival. This year, 19 acts performed on stage. There were hip-hop dance routines, traditional Japanese dance, taiko drumming, singers, cheerleading, and the Matsumoto Castle matchlock gun corps. The matchlock team left a powerful impression. Even in Japan, this is something you rarely see. The matchlock firearms date back about 430 years, and few groups still maintain and use functioning examples. The Matsumoto Castle matchlock gun corps preserves these guns and passes on the tradition. As a result, you can see matchlock demonstrations at events like those at Matsumoto Castle. The team brought several types of matchlocks. To an amateur eye, I saw two kinds: first a bantsutsu infantry gun, then a chūtutsu medium cannon. They fired blank shots in several formations. The blast was tremendous! At the end, a shooter from Suwa fired the chūtutsu. The sound ripped through the space where we stood. It was truly loud and spectacular!! There were taiko performances and children’s hip-hop dances, with families coming to watch. At the festival you could also buy food stalls and specialties from sister and friendship cities, and try tree climbing!!! Blessed with good weather, many citizens attended. If you have the chance to come to the Takashima Castle Festival, be sure to come and enjoy it!

Light Census Experience On a weeknight, 17 elementary school students gathered at the community center. It wasn’t a secret meeting for the kids but a gathering to take part in the first session of this year’s Wildlife Classroom *'▽' There was a reason we met at night. This mission was to experience a “light census”! The light census, one method for counting animal numbers, was conducted together with the Hunting Area Management Association that carries it out in practice, and we searched for and observed wild animals, including deer. After a short lecture about deer characteristics and other topics, we boarded the bus and set off into the forest 🚌 Some participants looked a little frightened as the forest grew darker, but whenever they spotted an animal they shouted loudly, “There it is!” to report the sighting. Everyone diligently recorded the numbers in their own booklets. Many first graders joined, and some could not yet write tally marks correctly, but they noted their sightings in ways that worked for them. Unexpectedly, we even saw that other animal, but everyone returned safely together ○ Back indoors, we compared the numbers we had found, and the first Wildlife Classroom session came to an end. Although it was within the village, traveling by bus through the night forest was an exciting time! The second session is planned as a camp during the summer break. Look forward to the next report! #Wildlife Classroom #Regional Revitalization Cooperation Corps #Hunting Area Management Association #Nishiokoppe Village #Elementary School Students #Wild Animals #Deer #Population Count #Light Census #We even encountered a bear
