“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. The debut artist was Keiko Takahashi. Born and raised in Nishiokoppe Village, she raised five children and has also performed widely as a skoppu shamisen (shovel shamisen) player. Her meeting with singer-songwriter Riku Nakanishi inspired Keiko’s songs, and after six months of intensive training she reached the milestone of a CD debut. 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

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

Our Village Beautification Project Saturday, June 8 was a sunny day with hot sunlight beating down. Local businesses, elementary school students, the nursery parents’ association and others took part, planting flower seedlings along the roadside ❀ We planted marigolds. They’re the same color as Setoushi-kun! After the opening ceremony, as with past years’ activities, each team quickly dispersed to their assigned spots. Work progressed with efficient movements as if everyone had already discussed the plan. Some people dug the soil with shovels, others placed the seedlings on the soil, and others covered the seedlings with soil… The planting was finished in less than an hour. It’s a small thing, but seeing flowers along the road really does make you happy. Thank you to the organizing committee members who prepared everything from early morning and to all participants for your hard work! #Nishiokoppe Village #Our Village Beautification Project #Seedling planting #Pansies #Marigolds #Thank you for your hard work in the heat

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

I was riding a bicycle around the Toyohira River in Sapporo. Admire the fierce river of the stream and watch the movement of the birds I was excited to see dinosaurs. The temperature that day was about 20 degrees Celsius. It felt cool because it was along the river.

We have created a flyer for directions to Mt. Masuda, where you can enjoy the view of the train passing through the Ishikatsu Line, which has received many inquiries to the tourism association. There are some unpaved parts along the way, and some of them are rough roads, so please be careful when driving. In addition, since you will be climbing a natural mountain, please be careful of the infestation of brown bears. Detailed precautions are described in the leaflet "Precautions for those heading to Mt. Masuda", so please read it. You can also find this information POP in the "Announcements" section of the Shintoku Tourism Association Home page.

Held in in the summer, we tried out a hammock in a birch forest. I managed to heal while struggling with more slack than expected. If you are planning a trip on the Obihiro︎ ↔Asahikawa-Furano routes this summer, why don't you heal with birches and hammocks at Karikachi Kogen Park? Details will be announced on the Tourism Association Home page and social media at a later date. #Hokkaido #Tokachi #Shintoku Town #Shintoku Tourism Association #National Route 38 #Hokkaido Garden Highway #Karikachi Kogen Park #Birch #Hammock #Healing

We participated in the town's "National Route 38 Environmental Beautification Activity," which is being worked together by Town residents people, and planted 6,000 seedlings of red salvia and white salvia trees in 43 blocks along Route 38 in Shintoku Town, where the sky is still cloudy due to rainy Gari.

Searching for spring in Miyanomori! Just when we thought temperatures would warm toward summer it turned sharply colder on Saturday, May 25. In the past, I explored around Nishiokoppe Shrine with Mr. Takada, who once served as the regional revitalization team’s wood-learning (mokuiiku) coordinator and as a forestry curator for the Board of Education. Since bear sighting reports last spring, Miyanomori has been a place we haven’t had many chances to enter. The snow has completely disappeared, and grasses are growing vigorously as we walked, spotting the white flowers that bloom in spring. With the pocket field guide Mr. Takada gave me in hand, I looked down at the ground and up into the trees to observe them. If you listen closely, you can hear bird calls between the rustling of leaves. People around the village often teach me the names of flowers and wild plants, but I struggle to remember them. Little by little, I hope to learn by comparing photos with real specimens, sometimes tasting or smelling them and using my five senses. I enjoy walking alone, but it’s also fun to stroll with a few people and listen to their voices. Thank you to everyone who joined us! #Nishiokoppe Village #Miyanomori #nature #spring #wood learning #community education #walk #nature observation #If you find new spruce buds, be sure to touch them

Yesterday, Sunday, I departed from Karikachi Pass and climbed Mt. Sahoro. On the way, it takes about two and a half hours to reach the summit of Mt. Sahoro via the summit of Mt. Sakura. Blessed with good weather, we enjoyed the Tokachi Plain below, Mt. Tomuraushi, one of the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group in the distance, the view of the Hidaka Mountains, which are scheduled to be designated as a national park in July, and the white flowers of the Chishima cherry blossoms, which are beginning to bloom along the way. #Hokkaido #Tokachi #Shintoku Town #Shintoku Tourism Association #Karikachi Pass #Mt.

[Giant Setoushi-kun Appears!?] Roadside Station Kam sits along National Route 239. At its entrance a giant Setoushi-kun appears for a limited time! We were able to borrow hay rolls wrapped in white plastic from local dairy farmers in the village, so we decided to go all out and paint Setoushi-kun. When only orange and green were used, passersby puzzled over whether it was a pumpkin or a mandarin… (laughs) Once the eyes were added, it instantly looked like Setoushi-kun! Please stop by and take a look when you pass through! We’ve also included before-and-after photos *^-^* #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #local mascot #Setoushi-kun #oversized #hay roll #limited time #Roadside Station #Kam

Shibazakura Phlox Marche On May 19, I visited the Phlox Marche held at Shibazakura Takinoue Park. It was the perfect moment of full bloom, and a pink carpet stretched as far as the eye could see.🌸 That day featured a “Local Mascots Gathering,” with booths set up side by side from Omu, Engaru, and Monbetsu. Several large tour buses arrived, and the line for soft serve never seemed to shrink. I was amazed by how many visitors came! At the Nishiokoppe booth, we sold Ezo deer leather crafts, pet food, and drinking yogurt from Milk Design Co. Many people enjoyed the park with their dogs, which helped sales of deer jerky and Achilles sticks for dogs sell well. When the local mascots appeared, many children were delighted. It was adorable to see all the different characters lined up *^-^* Items sold at the Phlox Marche are also available at Hotel Morimu and Roadside Station Kam. We look forward to seeing you again at another lively event! #Takinoue Town #Shibazakura Park #Shibazakura Festival #Phlox Marche #Marche #Booth Exhibits #Local Mascots Gathering #Setoushi-kun #Nishiokoppe Village #Game Management Association #Ezo deer #Milk Design
