Good evening, everyone!
This is the Minami Town Tourism Association!

Yesterday, we Implementation the opening Events of Tainohama Beach Station in Tainohama Beach Beaches and reported on it.

But that wasn't all Minami Town did yesterday and today! !!
While the hot sun was shining brightly, the Lively atmosphere was boiling in Minami Town Hiwasa! !!

Yesterday (July 12th), the 62nd Hiwasa Umigame Festival was held in!
Centered on the Ohama Coast, where sea turtles land and lay eggs, this historic summer festival prays for gratitude to sea turtles and the sea.
In addition to the Shinto ritual at Ohama Coast, baby sea turtles were released and prayed for their return to Ohama Coast.

In addition, Many stalls were lined up on Sakuramachi Street, which is the street in front of the Temple of Yakuo Temple, and performances sponsored by local people were also shown on two stages.
On the main stage, the venue was very crowded with Kameta and "Tokushima Prefecture resident entertainer" Mitoshi and the two-person MC system performing the Sentai Hero Show and Awa Odori.

The Noryo Fireworks Display was held on the riverbed of the Hiwasa River to conclude the festival.
A total of 1,500 fireworks were launched on the largest scale in the southern region of Tokushima Prefecture, and they scorched the summer night sky brightly and flashily!

The excitement of the Hiwasa Umigame Festival has not cooled down, and today (July 13th), the 26th Hiwasa Umigame Triathlon was Held in!
A 1.5km swim departing from Ohama Coast, a 40km bike ride on the Minamiawa Sunline and back, and a 10km run along the Hiwasa River.
As the name suggests, about 350 participants took on the challenge of three very grueling competitions.
With the sincere support of the Town residents and those who visited to watch the race, many people completed the race brilliantly!

Summer is finally in full swing in Minami Town.
The hot days continue, but let's all spend this summer energetically with the "heat" in our hearts that is as hot as the heat!
