Nishinikarishite Returns
Summer 2023
Nishinikarishite took place at GA.KOPPER guesthouse in Nishiokoppe Village.

A day of live-noise bon odori echoed through the whole village of Nishiokoppe.

For its second edition this year, the festivities span two days.

Alongside music, food, and the noise bon odori, the program is packed with ghost stories and shadow puppetry, deer butchering, silk-screen printing and bookbinding workshops, and much more.

On day one the venue is the old school building of the closed Kamiokoppe Elementary School,
and on day two the event moves to guesthouse GA.KOPPER.

Both days open at 10:30 AM, start at 11:00 AM, and finish around 9:00 PM.

Admission is free on day one; day two costs 5,000 yen (free for junior high school students and younger).
After 7:00 PM on day two, entry is free for everyone.

Tickets can be purchased online in advance.
You may also pay at the reception on the day of the event.
(The price is the same either way.)

The gymnasium of the former Kamiokoppe Elementary School will be open as a rest area at night.

If you want to attend both days but need a place to stay,
please bring a sleeping bag or tent and use the campsite.
