Screening and Donut Sale
We used Guesthouse GA.KOPPER in Nishiokoppe Village
to hold film screenings on January 19 and 20.

Photographers captured Hokkaido’s wildlife.
Set to music and shown on a grand scale,
the film offered about 80 minutes of close attention to their lives and deaths.

After the screening on the 20th,
we held a sale of handmade sweets, including donuts.

Hot drinks such as bamboo-grass chai and royal milk tea
were also very popular.

Donuts, chocolate, bagels, and cookies—
the handmade, charming treats sold out in no time as people hardly had a moment
to admire them.

Thank you to everyone who came out!

New Year Mochi Pounding
The annual mochi pounding event said to take place at Guesthouse GA.KOPPER!
It was held on January 2nd!

Guests staying at the guesthouse and village residents
gathered around a single mortar to pound mochi,
while those who wanted to relax sipped sweet sake in the dining room.

White mochi and mochi with beans or brown rice were lined up,
and everyone enjoyed them with nori, grated daikon, nameko mushrooms, sweet red bean paste, or roasted soybean flour to their liking.

A hit with the children was chocolate!
Eating mochi with chocolate was an idea we had never seen before!

Timed with the mochi pounding,
the sight of watching children jumping with serious faces
made for a heartwarming day.

It looks like local children were quick to hit the slopes 😆

On nights when the lifts operate, why not stop by for a run after work?

Nishiokopper Live
On the night of December 25 last year, Christmas night.
One after another, cars began to stop in front of Guesthouse GA.KOPPER.

When I opened the entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the Christmas market.

Handmade cookies and bagels were lined up in a row,
and a few children were helping out at the stalls.

In the dining hall that served as the venue, decorations sparkled.
The windows filled with visitors’ drawings and writings had their own charm.

While watching the performances by “Nishiokopper,”
we relaxed and enjoyed food and drinks that night.

We saw many sides of Nishiokopper: instrumentals and singing with dancing, a video presentation, and a reading set to koto music as background.

The pumpkin parfait I had after my turn was very delicious.

I’ll patiently wait for the day when Nishiokopper gathers again.

I painted pictures on Kamu’s windows!
Inside the Roadside Station Kamu
there are many large windows.

Not blank white, but a transparent canvas—
children from the village drew Christmas-themed pictures for us!

Some kids picked crayon colors while looking at sample drawings.
Some boldly dragged crayons across the glass to create big works.
Some drew characters together with friends sitting beside them.

At their own pace, each child enjoyed drawing on the windows in their own way.

The display runs through Monday, December 25.

Some windows were even painted by adults with great design sense,
so come by to soak up the Christmas atmosphere.

Komu Christmas
Saturday, December 2 was a day when Morino Bijutsukan 'komu' opened its doors free of charge!

Children gathered from inside and outside the village
and enjoyed performances such as a concert by Nishiokoppe junior high school brass band and a puppet-theater circle Doremi
including handbell performances.

There was also a collaboration between Setoushi-kun and Santa Claus!!

During the early music and piano session
visitors could try tuning and see a piano played with its outer case removed, creating an exciting time even for adults.

Komu's interior is decorated for Christmas,
so please take a look when you stop by.
