Osmanthus fragrans is in bloom.
Inside Roadside Station Kam in Nishiokoppe Village
there is a greenhouse where plants that struggle to grow in Hokkaido’s climate are cultivated.

When I stepped into the greenhouse in early October,
a very pleasant fragrance filled the air.

Trees of kinmokusei (fragrant olive) and ginmokusei bloom side by side.

Kanmokusei bears small orange flowers.
The slightly paler ones are ginmokusei.

In Honshu, the scent of kinmokusei makes people feel, “Ah, autumn has arrived.”

When you stop by the roadside station,
please be sure to visit the greenhouse and breathe in the scent of autumn!

The Flower Park charges admission until October 15; after that date it is open free of charge.

Karasu no Pan-ya San at Nishiokoppe Village The picture book "Karasu no Pan-ya San" Have you all read it? To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its publication a "Satoshi Kako Reproduction Original Art Exhibition" was held at Komu Museum of Art and on September 24 during the exhibition period bread making from the picture book took place. Following the illustrations, participants tore off portions of pre-fermented dough, rounded them, and shaped them. When the baked bread arrived children peered in with excited faces to see how the bread they made had turned out. Finally, they drew patterns with chocolate pens and it was complete! The two who made the saw-shaped bread and the daikon-shaped bread let me take a collaborative photo with them!^^! After the event I quietly let my imagination run wild, wondering, "What sort of bread shape would make people happy?"

Guided stroll through the Flower Park Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu features an attached Flower Park. On Saturday, September 23, we held an event in which participants explored the grounds with a gardener guide. This event has run for about five years, and this year’s edition invited visitors to enjoy the autumn natural garden. Autumn blooms such as asters, persicaria, and fujibakama (Eupatorium) add color to the park. It’s not only the flowers—apparently the trees and shrubs are grown with great care, and spots where grasses of different hues stand side by side are especially striking. I was surprised that about three people maintain the large Flower Park, and I’m excited to see how the plants planted in recent years will look five or ten years from now. The Flower Park remains open through October. Why not come and relax among the plants as you refresh from your travels?
