Wooden Racing Bike Every summer, led by woodworking instructors, the Woody Summer School runs as a two-night, three-day program. This year’s project was a racing bike. The sample displayed at Kimu looked so finely made it seemed ready to race off at any moment. Participants cut and shaved parts and progressed their work using the machines in the woodshop. When I dropped in on the second day’s work, everyone concentrated on the instructions. While they carefully focused on their projects, I snapped photos with my camera. The three days were packed with Nishiokoppe-specific activities, like eating Setoushi-kun-yaki and sipping blueberry juice during tea time, strolling through Kamu no Hana, and making stick bread over a bonfire. Each finished piece showed the participant’s own original decorations, giving a glimpse of their personal touches. After the work, the tables were scattered with handwritten notes and the tools used for painting. Although the period was short, it was good to see that everyone completed their projects. Thank you for participating! #Nishiokoppe Village #Forest Museum #Kimu #Woodworking #Woody Summer School #Woody #Racing Bike #Wooden Toys #Handmade #mokuiiku (wood learning) #Camp

Cheers with Beer on a Hot Night A beer garden returned after five years. It might have been a night many villagers had long awaited. With no rain to spoil the evening, cold beer went down well on the hot night. The drink line never stopped, and snacks sold briskly. Outside, people of all ages—from children to the elderly—gathered, chatting as they enjoyed their favorite drinks and the foods they wanted. It was a refreshing night that blew away our tiredness. #Nishiokoppe Village #Summer #Beer Garden #Chamber of Commerce #Youth Division #Night #Popular Fried Dumplings #Many Cotton Candy Repeat Customers

I Went to See the Ice Tunnel The last Sunday in July was the annual day the ice tunnel opened to the public! After a long heatwave and heavy rain a few days earlier, the organizers went to check on the tunnel just before the event to make sure it still existed. Compared with other years, some of the ice nearer the entrance had melted, so visitors picked their way—sometimes through the riverbed—toward the ice deeper inside. Even as we climbed over uneven ground and logs, cool air flowed up from the river, making it refreshingly chilly! I spent the day enjoying the coolness with a friend who had come along for the occasion, then we headed home. We rode a shuttle bus from town, so the trip there and back felt easy and relaxing—enough time for a nap. (*'▽') I’m already looking forward to next year’s opening day! #Nishiokoppe Village #Event #Summer #Ice Tunnel #Chamber of Commerce Youth Division #Cool Retreat #Refreshing
