2026 Tobetsu Yuru Eco Fes

About this event

The "2026 Tobetsu Yuru Eco Fes" is an event designed to help people "know, learn, and experience" what each of us can do for the environment. This year features a variety of plans that participants can enjoy. At the event, the "Eco Idea Recipe Contest" related to reducing food waste will be held, with Hokkaido's prominent Chef Shimokuni serving as a judge. Recipes that can be made at home utilizing ingredients from Tobetsu Town are being solicited, and winners will receive prizes. Additionally, an "Upcycle Contest" will be held, allowing visitors to experience the appeal of upcycling—reborn waste materials turned into new valuable products. Items from daily life transformed wonderfully will be gathered, such as clothes remade into bags or used containers turned into planters. Two categories are available for adults, children, and families to enter, and winning works will be published in the town public relations magazine and website. On the day of the event, a lecture on food waste reduction by Chef Shimokuni and tastings of his specially devised recipes are also scheduled.
