Community summer festival begins with the glow of food stalls
About this spot
This is the venue for Kimobetsu Town's beloved "Kimobetsu Summer Festival." Running August 8-9, 2026, the festival transforms Omachi Chibikko Plaza into a lively gathering space lined with food stalls. Though modest in scale compared to larger festivals, this celebration embodies the warmth of the local community—a fitting tribute to an agricultural town embraced by Mount Yotei and the Shiribetsu River. End your pastoral day exploring farmland and pristine waters by sharing the evening's summer festival spirit with the community.
