*The Otasho Festival will be held only on Monday, August 19th.
*The Kobutsu Ebisu Festival will be held only on Tuesday, August 20th.
What is the Otasho Festival?
This festival conveys the traditional culture of Sera Town, and is named after Otasho, a manor that flourished on the Sera Plateau in the Middle Ages.
Please come and enjoy the dynamic dance and musical performances by the groups that Sera Town is proud of.
＜What is Nijūjitsu Ebisu?＞
It is believed that the "20th Ebisu Summer Festival" was created by combining the memorial service for Kobo Daishi's portrait and Kannon memorial service at Mount Koya, which are held on the 20th of each month, and the summer festival at Ebisu Shrine.
Approximately 30,000 spectators come to enjoy the summer festival, taking in the non-stop kyogen performances and the many outdoor stalls.
What is Niwaka Kyogen?
Hakata Niwaka and Mino Niwaka are famous throughout the country, but what makes Kabutoyama Niwaka unique is the so-called "nagashi niwaka," where the float is stopped in the middle of the street and the performance takes place inside a rope.
The content of Niwa Kyogen plays can be broadly divided into two categories: historical plays and new plays (also called shinpa or modern plays), but all of them have a punch line at the end of the play.
After the punchline is delivered, the story ends with the crowd cheering, "That's just a joke."
During the Meiji and Taisho periods, the main themes were Kabuki-style, but since then, there have been more contemporary, period pieces, and satire of the times.
Many contemporary works incorporate the hot topics of the year, making them easy to understand and entertaining.
Niwaka can be written in various ways, such as "Niwaka", but it also has the meaning of "suddenly" or "niwaka ni", and there are cases where spectators join in and enjoy the performance, or where the performance is performed without much rehearsal.
Lines are skipped and replayed during the performance, but because this is purely amateurish acting, this actually brings out the fun in the spontaneous improvisation.
The Sera Chamber of Commerce and Industry Fireworks Festival, which brightens up the summer in Sera Town, will be held in the area around Higashikanzaki. It will beautifully light up the night sky of the Sera Highlands.
Date and time: August 20 (fire) 20:00~
There will also be a live performance on the special stage from 6pm!
Location: Sera Town Higashikanzaki area
The Buddhas of Sera can only be seen on August 20th.
Four Heian period Buddha statues at two temples are designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
It's like a thousand years of prayers are being conveyed!
(Day trips from Hiroshima are possible by express bus)
In the evening, at the 20th day festival, danjiri floats and improvised kyogen performances are held on the street corners.
Fireworks and the Ota Dance festival also add colour to the festival.
Once the sun rises, flower sightseeing is also a good idea!
\ New rice fair with luxurious benefits /
The delicious new rice season will soon be upon us.
At the Sera Roadside Station in Kawajiri, Sera Town, the event will be held on August 24th and 25th.

1. Promote local production and consumption to consumers and provide peace of mind about food.

～Sera Daiho Farm's Special Points～
The pears are grown without bags (this method results in higher vitamin C and sugar content even if the fruit looks a little worse). At night, the entire farm is lit up with yellow lights called "moth repellent lights" to protect the fruit from moths. The fantastic scenery lit by about 1,700 lights has become a seasonal feature of the Sera Plateau and has been selected as one of the 87 best lighted landscapes in Hiroshima Prefecture. This vast fruit farm has also won the Grand Prize at the 30th Japan Agriculture Awards.
*Since the harvest yield is affected by weather conditions, etc., it is not possible to specify a date (time can be specified).
*If you purchase multiple items, additional shipping charges will apply.

This variety is called " Miel Corn " and is characterized by its thin kernel skin and very sweet flavor.
"Miel" is French for "sweet like honey," and its crisp, juicy taste and texture makes you feel like you are eating sweet fruit.
Enjoy the popping texture of the grains and their honey-like sweetness!
● Recommended way to eat
Leave one thin layer of skin on and microwave for 5 minutes (leaving the skin on will prevent the sweetness and nutrients from escaping)!
Enjoy the whole, fluffy and tender piece.
●How to save
The sweetness of the sweet corn will decrease rapidly, so eat it as soon as you receive it!
If you have any leftovers, cook them and store them. Or, leave the skin on and wrap them in plastic wrap, stand them upright, and store them in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator.
●Expiration date guideline
Fresh corn (refrigerated) - 3 to 4 days
Boiled corn...2-3 days
Frozen corn: about 1 month
*Number of days from harvest date
*To maintain the sugar content, boil or freeze the product immediately upon arrival.
