“Summer Festival Memories” Part 5 features “Hinokuchi Summer: 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 consecutive series reported by Kagayaki No. 509, a Nishi2 supporter.
They had a mikoshi portable shrine during the daytime too.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 2-3-32 Hinokuchicho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
There are so many people dancing the Bon Odori in Hinokuchi. Don’t you see someone with red hair?
Clearly, they look a little different!!
There was Donald!
(A teacher from Hinokuchi Elementary School was dressed up as him! Thanks for your hard work!!)
The Bon Odori lineup. Ending with the Miyatan Ondo feels very Nishinomiya.
Miyatan is here! The deep blue character next to him is Kobu Junior High School’s character, “Kobuppii”, and it looks like their appearance really livened things up.
That’s our report on the Hinokuchi Bon Odori. There are only two more installments left in Summer Festival Memories. Which “Nishinomiya” summer festival will appear tomorrow? Let’s soak in the memories again.
