Shrine Festival
The Kamikoppu area holds its shrine festival on September 7,
and Nishiokoppe Village celebrates its shrine festival on September 11.

It’s the day when people parade through their neighborhood with the portable shrine.

In Kamikoppu, a night-before celebration called yomiya-sai is also held, making for a lively few days.

In Nishiokoppe, an entertainment show takes place on the evening of the festival day, where villagers perform and enjoy drinks together while watching the acts.

People wearing happi coats and children dressed as ochigo (festival pages) add to the festive atmosphere.

Walking through the streets of Kamikoppu, I heard the taiko drums echo off the surrounding mountains and return as a distant rumble.

I’ll post about the entertainment show in a separate entry.

Nishiokoppe Village Variety Show Last year, the variety show returned after a five-year hiatus. This year, we were able to hold it successfully once again. Thank you to everyone who came out in large numbers. The performance segment was rich with acts. From children to adults taking the stage, there were fresh, uplifting performances and also V-kei band sets, letting audiences enjoy a wide range of genres. In the latter half, the karaoke segment featured a somewhat different lineup than last year, but this village truly has many talented singers…! We were captivated by the clear, expansive voices. Stalls offered food and drinks, as well as booths selling capsule toys and other playthings, plus shooting galleries and ring-toss corners. From morning until night, it was a day to fully savor the festival. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Variety Show #100th Anniversary of Village Founding #September 11
