[Villagers Cultural Festival 2023] "There's a village culture festival in November," he said. I can't believe there is such a festival...! I was surprised. In Nishikobe Village, a cultural festival was held over three days. November 1~2 is only on display, On the 3rd, there will be a presentation in the community center area, an award ceremony, and a stage presentation. The hotel that is the venue is connected to the community center and library. In the library area, a used book market was held. Sometimes, the books that the villagers give away end up in the hands of the villagers who are close to them. While enjoying exhibitions such as ikebana and pictures and letters In the tea room, I was able to taste Japanese sweets and tea. This year, for the first time, There was also a recitation by the puppet theater Circle Doremi and a storytelling of picture books. Surrounded by sunlight shining through the ceiling window I gradually became immersed in the world of spoken word plays and picture books. In addition to volunteer bands, junior high school brass bands, and piano performances on stage, In Nishikobe Village, the standard "flash mental arithmetic" was performed by children who attend the abacus class. For adults, it is a valuable place to make presentations. It was a cultural festival full of excitement and excitement.

【Making bean dishes】 Greenwoodwork is becoming an annual tradition in Nishiokoppe Village. I participated in the bean dish making session. First, choose whether to use china or yellowfin wood. Cut with a saw and split in half. Next, to the thickness you like The wood was cut while sandwiching it with a special device sharpening horse and sen. This dedicated instrument is Depending on the thickness and length of the wood, the angle may be changed or the position of the sandwich may be changed. The grass cutting instructor is using it brilliantly, and even just watching the model work It was a lot of fun. Once the thickness can be adjusted Carve it with a chisel to give the plate depth. Depending on the carving, a wave pattern was created, and here too, individuality was visible. Round and square shapes, also for size and depth The commitment of each of them is evident.

【Kuroiwa Falls】 The introduction of the three waterfalls was also the last one left. Now it's about the non-red rock, the "Kuroiwa Falls"! It is quite a distance from the national highway, Once you reach Akaiwa Falls, you're almost there. Again, to the waterfall basin It's a short walk from the parking space, but there are few ups and downs. It is recommended for a casual stroll. We pass through a small stream and wade through the grass. The color of the rocks is also different. The shape of the waterfall was also slightly different from the other two waterfalls, and it was worth seeing. When I quietly listen to the sound of water Hours seem to go by in a blink of an eye. As expected, I was about to encounter a bear, so I rounded up in about ten minutes and went home. If you are intrigued by the waterfall, Why don't you visit before it gets cold? Please be careful when stepping.

Beyond that, to Akaiwa Falls, follow the dense mountain road. I wonder if the road is right here You should be able to find a parking space. To Akaiwa Falls After getting out of the car, walk for about 5 minutes to the waterfall. It's good to go, but On the way back up, it is a little responsive to the body of an adult who lacks exercise. When you arrive at the waterfall pool The contrast between red and green is beautiful. You can also admire the waterfall. Looking up at the trees surrounding the waterfall is sure to give you a refreshing feeling. When you come, instead of fashionable shoes, Please wear shoes that can get dirty and non-slip, such as boots.

Hello COOL JAPAN VIDEOS viewers!
Nishiokoppe Village This is Kurashima, Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers in charge of tourism.

I would like to deliver the charm of Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village [tourist information]! Thank you in advance.

Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village is located inland in the Sea of Okhotsk in the eastern Hokkaido region, has a population of 1,002 as of the end of July 2023 Reiwa 5, and forests account for about 90% of the village's area.
The contrast with forests and snowy landscapes is beautiful, and the walls of major buildings such as public facilities are unified in orange.

The temperature difference in our village is large, and it can be -20 degrees Celsius in winter and over 30 degrees Celsius in summer.
Although it is a harsh natural environment, it is full of hidden areas and sightseeing spots such as rich nature and waterfalls!

Then, Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village
Here are some of the attractive sightseeing spots.

The "Ice Tunnel" at the foot of the Mt. Uenshiri is a fantastic popular tourist destination where the ice world spreads!
The tunnel created by the water flowing down due to the melting snow in spring is located in a mountain valley, so the ice does not melt even in summer, showing a mysterious world.
It is usually closed due to the risk of collapse, but in July this year, it was opened for one day only for the first time in four years.

"Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu" is a spot where a flower park and Roadside Station are fused!

In the Roadside Station building, there is a wooden contraption organ "Otogibayashi" that plays sound with the power of the wind, which is rare in Japan, and the shop also sells dairy products such as soft-serve ice cream using grass-fed milk from Nishikobu, as well as processed Yezo sika deer products processed skin products, pet food, etc..

In the attached flower park, you can enjoy a garden based on the concept of a "natural garden" that reproduces natural plants and flowers that grow according to the climate and climate of the Nishiokoppe Village.

Located about 10 minutes by car from the Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu, the Forest Museum Komu is an art museum based on the concepts of "seeing," "touching," "playing," and "creating."
Not only are about 3,000 wooden toys and works on display, but you can also actually touch and play with large wooden playground equipment.

Among them, the "wooden sandbox" containing 160,000 wooden balls is a popular work! You can enjoy the woodworking bath surrounded by the scent of wood.
In addition to seeing, you can also experience actually making it at the "Woodworking Experience Class"!
Enjoy a luxurious time to experience art in the forest.

The sightseeing spot "Gyoja no Taki" where you can feel the power of nature is a waterfall with a drop of 20 meters.
At the end of the Meiji era, it began to be called Gyono Falls because there was a woman who prayed for the cure of her parents' intractable illness after being struck by the waterfall.
In the upper reaches of Gyoja Falls, there is the beautiful brick-colored riverbed "Akaiwa Falls" and the "Kuroiwa Falls" that flows through the primeval forest of the Ezo spruce, and you can enjoy three waterfalls on one route.

Next, we will introduce campsites where you can enjoy magnificent nature and the outdoors!

The Forest Park will undergo large-scale renovation work over two years, 2022 Reiwa 4 and five years, and preparations are underway for the renewal and opening of the 2024 Reiwa 6, including the maintenance of tent sites and the installation of new playground equipment.
In 2023 Reiwa 5, the tent site is available until October 15, but the playground equipment cannot be used.
In addition, there is a paid log house in the park that can be used all year round, and a BBQ house that can be used for day trips.

Surrounded by primeval forest, "Uenshiri Campground" is a recommended campsite for wild camping because there are no cooking facilities.
Like the Ice Tunnel, it is located in Mt. Uenshiri and offers free access to one bungalow that can accommodate up to 10 people.
In addition, there is a risk of brown bears around the primeval forest, so be careful when using it.

Nishiokoppe Village is also known for the guitar factory "Okhotsk Musical Instrument Industry", where instruments with beautiful tones are born.
Okhotsk Musical Instrument Industry, which was founded in the form of taking over the timber company, currently produces 20,000 guitar bodies a year.
There is also a showroom in the annex of the guitar factory that you can enter for free, so you can feel free to visit it.

Access to the Nishiokoppe Village is
It takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Haneda Airport to Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport.
From the Osaka area, from Kansai International Airport and Osaka International Airport, take New Chitose Airport about 1 hour 50 minutes, take JR to Asahikawa Station about 2 hours 10 minutes, transfer to JR Limited Express and get off at Nayoro about 1 hour, and take a bus to Nishiokoppe Village about 1 hour.
It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes by bus from Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport to Nishiokoppe Village.

Beautiful scenery such as ice tunnels, delicious food, etc.
You can enjoy a variety of experiences in Nishiokoppe Village.
We will continue to tell you about the charm of Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village,
Thank you in advance!

【Three waterfalls in the Nishiokoppe Village】 The other day, it is also a tourist attraction in Nishiokoppe Village. I went to "Gyoja Falls", "Akaiwa Falls", and "Kuroiwa Falls". This time, I would like to post about "Gyoja Falls"! Take Route 239 onto the mountain road As you go along, the first thing you will encounter is Gyoja Falls. When you get out of the car in front of a stone slab with some kind of explanation, I could hear the cool sound of the waterfall! One day in August, I couldn't stand the intense heat. There were adults who were struck by the waterfall in T-shirts and shorts, or not. Next time, I will introduce Akaiwa Falls.
