2026 Kimobetsu Summer Festival: A Full-Day Course

This full-day course centers on the 'Kimobetsu Summer Festival' (August 8-9, 2026, first day August 8, at Omachi Chibikko Plaza), held in Kimobetsu, a farming town nestled between Mt. Yotei and the Shiribetsu River. During the day, savor local potatoes and vegetables at Sato no Eki Hot Kimobetsu, and take in the majestic sight of Mt. Yotei spreading beautifully out to its base from a viewpoint in town. After catching your breath to the murmur of the clear stream on the banks of the Kimobetsu River, get ready for the evening festival. At 17:00, as the food stalls at Omachi Chibikko Plaza light up, the Kimobetsu Summer Festival is finally underway. As the perfect close to a peaceful day surrounded by farmland and clear streams, enjoy a lively summer festival with the whole community.
