A word from Domingo editorial department
Yuki-jin" are demons that burn away evil spirits and wish for good health and good fortune.
The legend of Oni Hanabi is passed down in Jigokudani (Hell Valley) of Noboribetsu Onsen, where these Yuki-jin reside!
The fireworks are set off like an eruption in the night sky of Jigokudani, and are just as powerful as the fireworks themselves.

Shin-arashiyama Sky Park (Blastomuro Town)

This is the Shin-Arashiyama Sky Park Observation Deck in the town of Bamuro.
It offers a panoramic view of the vast Tokachi Plain.

A word from the Domingo editorial team
The Shin-Arashiyama Sky Park offers not only a spectacular view from the observatory at the top of the 340-meter-high mountain, but also barbecues and park golf!
In the town of Brimuro, you can enjoy the magnificent countryside scenery and delicious gourmet food that comes from the abundant nature, all of which are typical of Tokachi.
This is a must-visit place to see and taste the great outdoors ✨.

Banei Horse Racing and Sunset (Obihiro City)

I took this photo of a horse's back facing the setting sun at Banei Horse Racing.
The orange of the sunset melts into the dust and sand, creating a silhouette of a robust yet beautiful horse.
I hope it conveys the horse's charm, if only a little.

Banei Horse Racing is a race in which large horses, called "banbaema," pull iron sleds carrying weights of up to one ton.
Obihiro City in Hokkaido is the only place in the world where Banei Horse Racing is held!
Please come and watch the exciting and heated races with big horses pulling big sleds 👀!
