Most years, August sees its grand festival, the city's biggest event. It's a parade of beautiful portable shrines, with over 200 hundred lined up under the sky. People come to join from all over the country to join in this symbol of Nemuro's summer.

Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
