A Hot Night with Beer
Friday, July 31st
The "Forest Beer Garden" organized by the Chamber of Commerce Youth Division was held!🍺🎉
With a sky that looked like it might rain and cooler temperatures,
this year it took place in the Plum Hall of Hotel Rimu.
While an outdoor beer garden is fun,
having it indoors where you can eat and drink comfortably was also great!
In addition to skewered dumplings, grilled chicken, frankfurters, soba and udon, edamame, french fries, bang bang chicken, takoyaki, shaved ice, cotton candy… this year there were also special menu items from the hotel!
With a luxurious food menu,
the line for drinks never seemed to end.
I couldn't stop eating either!🤤
Thank you to everyone who came out!!

The Flower Path Leading to Mori Yume
There is a road that continues from the main entrance of Hotel Rimu to the national highway.
In early August,
the flower beds along that road were in full bloom.
The contrast of the flowers is beautiful, but
my favorite is the white leaves 🍃
While looking back at my photos,
I found pictures of the flower bed taken at the end of June.
Comparing them was surprising 😳
I couldn't believe how different the plants looked from when they were first planted!
I realized that the imagination to plant with growth in mind and
the daily care help create such a lovely flower bed.
It's a road I often drive on, but
when you stay at Hotel Rimu, please take a stroll nearby and enjoy the flower beds!

The Wind of Hokuto Pro Wrestling Blows
At the end of July, a Hokuto Pro Wrestling event was held in Nishiokoppe Village.
This was a continuation from last year, but the number of attendees was nearly double that of last year!
During the day, the wrestlers visited the day service, and it felt like the distance between them and the villagers was greatly shortened.
With their well-trained bodies, they performed stunning acts, dropping from great heights with a loud "bang!" and engaging in brawls outside the ring, making for a spectacular event.
Hokuto Pro Wrestling matches not only excite the wrestlers but also draw cheers from the audience, energizing the entire venue.
That’s why the spectators became increasingly engrossed in the matches, pouring their energy into their cheers and applause.
The drinks and food we prepared were also purchased in abundance, proportional to the intensity of the matches.🙌
The children in the village who watched the wrestling have become fans, even making their own championship belts.🤩
Thank you to everyone who came out!

【Nii Tete Boye's LIVE】
I apologize for the delay in posting, but
in July, Nii Tete Boye came and performed for us!
The Panlogo, a traditional instrument from Ghana in West Africa.
He played it by striking the surface with his palms, and at first, I was captivated by the unique rhythm, unsure of how to move my body, watching the vivid hand movements as he struck the drum.
There were several songs that allowed the audience to participate with clapping and singing, which gradually helped me understand the rhythm structure.
Nii Tete Boye played the five drums effortlessly, as if the Panlogo had become a part of his body.
In the middle of the LIVE,
there was a special collaboration featuring a Bon song performed by Nii Tete Boye and the villagers!
Their beautiful harmonies singing a challenging melody merged with the sounds of Nii Tete Boye and the bear drum.
As the Bon song resonated, I felt as if I had come to a different place, experiencing a strange sensation.
The performance was that captivating.
That night, there was food and drink available for sale from the guesthouse GA.KOPPER!
We enjoyed Jollof rice, groundnut butter soup, and chili dogs, which are beloved in West Africa 🤤
While sipping on the sweet hibiscus tea called Bissap, we had a wonderful night 🌙

【Summer Festival with Swaying Lanterns】
Many of you may have already seen it.
The summer version display inside Komu!
From the parking lot outside,
you can see the lantern decorations swaying in the small window.
Lanterns are also hanging from the ceiling inside the building,
and fireworks are displayed on the walls.
(Amidst them, Setoushi-kun was launched 🎆)
You can enjoy games like ring toss, shooting, goldfish scooping, and watermelon catching, experiencing the fun of the festival.
When I visited Komu,
the kids were running the stalls while their fathers played customers.
The quality of the handmade ice creams lined up at the ice cream shop is incredible, so I hope you take a good look at them...!
The original fan featuring Setoushi-kun is also cute.
Before summer ends,
please come and visit us!
