The 45th Salt Road Festival was held on May 4th.
Under warm, sunny skies, we started at Ochikura Nature Park and walked about 9km to Green Sports Forest, feeling the idyllic countryside at the foot of the Northern Alps and the history of Hakuba.
At the departure ceremony, participants were welcomed with a Shio-no-Michi Taiko drum performance and a mirror-breaking event from the Hakuba Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Uesugi Omotenashi Busho-tai from Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, rushed in and departed with the participants, shouting, “Here we go!” Along the way, the ceremony was enriched with gestures from local residents and ocarina performances, and at the finish line, a powerful Happo Taiko drum performance and the appearance of Hakuba Tourism Ambassador Risa Kunimoto dressed as a princess enlivened the ceremony. At the end, the participants enjoyed the traditional Karakomaki.
