For two days during that period, wooden toys from Nishiokoppe Village I was allowed to put it in the Special venue on the first floor. What I brought from the forest art museum "Komu" There is a "wooden sandbox" with hundreds of wooden balls, wooden puzzles, cars, and the Miracle CoroCoro Tower where you can enjoy rolling marbles. Held in castanet-making Workshop in one corner of the venue! It was a two-day event that was soothed by the voices of the children who came to play and the warm sound of wooden balls touching each other. Next to the Nishiokoppe Village booth is a croquette shop from Bifuka. The potato and pumpkin croquettes were both delicious! It was super crispy. And Setoushi-kun collaborates with Bifukun & Mifuka-chan! There were some children who were confused by the appearance of Yurukyara. It's always nice to have a child who is happy.

Korakuen Garden is a garden where much of the ground is covered with moss. It's an unexplored place for moss enthusiasts. He is nicknamed "Pon-chan" The lecturer, Mr. Takada, takes a walk while introducing moss. If you look closely~, moss has various shapes. I see, I see, and while beating the whirlwind On the way, the participants were drawn to the squirrels that appeared. Touch it, observe it, and when you know a little more about moss, you can move on to production. choose a glass container and how much sand to fill, It was a work full of worries, such as which moss to use and how to place it. By carefully removing the soil and leaves on the moss, It prevents mold and lives longer. There was also a large amount of moss As you loosen the soil, it will gradually become smaller. A small world spread out in moss that fits in both hands. Sea grass and small cows on moss, etc. If you put it on a little bit, it looks like you're looking down at the world from above. It also made me feel strange. After about an hour of work, each piece was completed. The mosses that will be welcomed into your home. Where will it be displayed?

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.

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!
