The Dai-ichi Takimotokan Summer Festival is finished. Held from Saturday, July 27 through Wednesday, August 14, it was a classic Hokkaido event at our ryokan onsen full of traditional fun. Of course, Takimaru-kun joined the Children\u2019s Festival and has a lot to say about what happened!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He was excited to meet many of our young visitors during the Festival! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everyone seemed happy to meet him, too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even though he is 161 years old in human years, Takimaru is still a demon child. To us, he appears as a child of about five or six.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Children like to have their photo taken with him, of course!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many people rushed up to shake Takimaru-kun\u2019s hand and have a little fun. A few were a little unsure of him, too, and couldn\u2019t quite pass in front of him even though their parents were there to reassure them. We hope that next year, when they are a little older and feeling braver, Takimaru-kun looks forward to saying hello at last and playing with them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Takimaru-kun was always surrounded by our visitors, which made us all happy. Many decided to take home a miniature version of him<\/a> available in Yunomachi<\/a>, our gift shop.
\n*The very small one is only available via a UFO-catcher game in our lower level. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We hope you will come to spend part of your summer in Noboribetsu Onsen with us! Come stay or visit just for a day. We will be more than glad to see you here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
