Bonfire Roasted Sweet Potatoes
On Sunday, after the elementary school students finished their school play,
Monday, October 16, became a substitute holiday.

The bonfire event, postponed due to bad weather,
was held in the morning!

We gathered at 9:00 AM
and enjoyed ourselves fully until noon.

To skewer marshmallows,
we whittled the tips of branches with knives,
but first we practiced by sharpening pencils.

With the uniquely shaped pencils done,
we carried out firewood together with the elementary students.

After the fire was lit,
we whittled more branches and
wrapped sweet potatoes and potatoes in wet newspaper and aluminum foil.

Before we knew it, while eating the roasted potatoes,
it was already time to disperse.

On a season that turned chilly,
the warmth of the bonfire and the kindness of the children
really warmed us.

VOICE Comes to Nishiokoppe!
About a month ago
I found myself listening to “24-Hour Myth”
and waiting eagerly for the live show.

When the concert finally began,
even songs I heard for the first time
drew me in with the guitar tones and soaring vocals.

Nearly two hours flew by in an instant!

Partway through, during a song that imagined the feelings of salted salmon roe,
the audience joined in at a certain part,
and the whole venue felt united.

By the final act,
the applause and cheers never stopped…
The excitement was palpable.

It was their first Nishiokoppe live in five years.
I’m already looking forward to the day the two of them return!!

Brass Ensemble Mini Concert
On the evening of Friday, September 29,
a mini concert by the Nishiokoppe Junior High School Brass Band took place at Morino Bijutsukan "komu".

This time, three third-year students each performed a solo.

Trombone and trumpet players produced beautiful tones alongside images projected on the wall.
The drummer spun the sticks and showed off elegant hand work.

The third-year students recently retired after the school cultural festival.
Well done and thank you for your hard work!

Potato digging
A potato field tended as a hobby.

After October began, about seven of us gathered on a holiday and went to dig potatoes!

First we removed the weeds and leaves lying on the soil,
then used digging forks to unearth the potatoes carefully without piercing them.

After digging them up, we left them in the sun for a while to dry their skins,

then sorted the potatoes by size—large and small—and put them into bags before loading them onto the truck.

My leg muscles still ache even after two or three days (laughs).

It felt great to work up a good sweat after such a long time!

I found giant pumpkins growing just beyond Setogyu Pass, past the center of Nishiokoppe.

Apparently, some of them had been eaten by deer...

I'd like to use them as Halloween decorations!

The last photo shows a mini pumpkin someone shared with me.

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?"

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.

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?
