“Summer Festival Memories” Part 5 is “Hino-kuchi no Natsu: The 43rd Bon Odori,” held in the schoolyard of Hinokuchi Elementary School.
This year it was held on August 18 and 19. Miyatan and Kobuppii(do you know them?) also make a brief appearance. “Summer Festival Memories” is a 7-day series of reports by Kagayaki No. 509, a Nishitsu supporter.
They had a mikoshi portable shrine during the daytime too.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 2-3-32 Hinokuchi-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
There were so many people dancing Bon Odori at Hinokuchi. Isn’t there someone with red hair?
They definitely look a little different!!
Donald was there!
(A teacher from Hinokuchi Elementary School dressed up as him! Great work!!)
The Bon Odori lineup. Ending with the Miyatan Ondo feels very Nishinomiya.
Miyatan showed up! The dark blue character next to him is Kobu Junior High School’s character, “Kobuppii”, and it sounds like everyone had a great time with them there.
That’s our report on the Hinokuchi Bon Odori. There are only two more installments left in Summer Festival Memories. Which summer festival “in Nishinomiya” will appear tomorrow? Let’s soak in the memories again.
