Saturday, August 22 Hokuto Exchange Gathering: Summer Vacation Special! Walk the Forests of the Yatsugatake Foothills with a Nature Ranger

About this event

During the latter half of summer vacation, this exchange gathering offers a guided walk through the forests at the foot of Mount Yatsugatake alongside a nature ranger. From children walking in the forest for the first time to those who regularly spend time in nature, everyone can discover new charms of the forest while listening to the ranger's commentary. You can also enjoy a craft activity stamping original Hokuto City eco-bags using your favorite leaves and nuts found in the forest, which you can take home as a lovely summer vacation memory. Open to local residents, relocated residents, and those considering relocating alike, participants can get away from the hustle and bustle of the town and leisurely deepen exchanges while listening to the sounds of cicadas, birds, trees, wind, babbling streams, and sunlight filtering through trees. Suitable for children and adults, it is recommended for anyone who feels the charm of Hokuto City's nature, is considering moving there, or wants to deepen connections with local people.
