About this spot

This is the venue for the 'Kimobetsu Summer Festival', which colors summer in Kimobetsu Town. In 2026 it's held over two days, August 8 to 9, at Omachi Chibikko Plaza, with food stalls lining the venue and locals filling it with energy. True to a farming town nestled between Mt. Yotei and the Shiribetsu River, the festival may not be large in scale, but it carries a warm, local charm. Close out a day spent among farmland and clear streams with a family evening at the summer festival.

Tips

The venue is in the center of town, and parking space is limited, so arriving early is recommended. Bring small change for shopping at the food stalls. Since it's a town in the mountains, temperatures tend to drop at night, so a light jacket is reassuring to have.
