Summer Holidays! Fun for the Whole Family in Naganuma Town!

July 27,2024 OA

School's out for summer, and the kids are ready for adventure! This episode of Love Hokkaido takes you to Naganuma Town for some unique family experiences that everyone can enjoy.
First up, it's a farm stay! The hosts are farmers committed to teaching visitors about agriculture. This season, it's all about weeding the rice fields. Li Qiang and Yurie jump in, barefoot, for a rare and exciting hands-on experience.

Next, egg-cellent adventures when they visit a poultry farm. Learn to hand-polish eggs before shipping. After their hard work, they get to cook and savor tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) using fresh eggs. It's fluffy, rich, and absolutely delicious!
A new addition to the town is a tuna specialty shop that opened in 2023, making it a ‘tuna heaven’ in the heart of Naganuma. Despite being inland, this shop offers fresh, top-quality tuna selected by a veteran expert with over 30 years of experience. It's a seafood lover's paradise right in Naganuma!
Finally, they head to the "Yuuyake Market," a summer sunset festival held three times a year. The main street transforms into a bustling pedestrian zone filled with food stalls and entertainment. Families from all around gather for this vibrant event.
This summer, why not explore Naganuma Town and make some unforgettable memories?

Delight in Buying Direct from Ebetsu’s Farmers

Join us on a delightful journey through Ebetsu, a treasure trove of fresh produce and local delights, just next door to Sapporo! Our hosts explore charming farmers' markets brimming with seasonal vegetables at unbeatable prices and snag some of the area's beloved treats, like delicious Daifuku (chewy mochi often filled with bean paste).
A standout find is the handmade ketchup crafted by local farm mothers. This rich, umami-packed condiment is so flavorful, it transforms simple pasta dishes into gourmet experiences. Its simple yet irresistible taste leaves our hosts in awe.
They also visit a local beekeeper, where they get to sample fresh honey straight from the hive. It’s a sweet end to a satisfying day of culinary discoveries in Ebetsu.
