Aibetsu Town: The Mushroom Village Buzzing with the Discovery of Hokkaidoishi
As mentioned on the error page, Aibetsu Town is very famous as the "Mushroom Village." Furthermore, it is one of the regions where "Hokkaidoishi," the world's first discovered fluorescent mineral, was found. You can see "Hokkaidoishi" up close at the Aibetsu Town Hall.
Aibetsu Town boasts the top production of enoki and nameko mushrooms in Hokkaido, and ranks second for maitake mushrooms.
"Hokkaidoishi" glows beautifully when exposed to ultraviolet light.
The town is also proactive in supporting child-rearing, with initiatives like "Happy Born," where the entire town celebrates a child's birth with fireworks, and the "A Chair for You Project," which gifts handmade chairs with the wish, "Your place is here." The town also hosts the "Mushroom Village Festival," a major event held on the second Sunday of September each year that attracts over 7,000 visitors, showcasing its many charms.
