Summer is coming to the island again this year with the Nintendo Switch " Atsumare Animal Crossing " (Atsumori).
The island is completely in summer, and in reality, the " Atsumare Animal Crossing x Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise Hakkeijima Sea Paradise Sea Creatures Friendship Exhibition " is being held at the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Yokohama, and summer is in full swing both on the island and in reality!
Atsumori is constantly being updated and seasonal events are being held. The last update was on April 28, and all the events up to early summer were delivered at once.
Just as those events are almost over and July is drawing to a close, the details of a new free update have been announced!
Events through early fall are updated!
This free update is for the seasonal events through early fall of 2021.
We've also announced some upcoming events, and we'll show you when they're coming up, along with when they'll take place!
Fireworks Display
The island's fireworks display, which took place last year in 2020, is set to take place again this year!
Every Sunday night in August, residents will gather in the plaza in front of the island's information center to watch the fireworks display in the night sky.
This year, too, " Tsunekichi " will have a food stall, and there will be additional prizes for the inari raffle, so let's get out there and draw lots!
Let's draw lots with our friends and enjoy the island festival to the fullest!
Of course, you will be able to shoot off fireworks of your own design this year as well.
Just hand in your design to Ms. Shizue at the plaza, and she will make it into a firework and launch it into the night sky of the island, so you can color the night sky with your own design!
Insect catching contest
In the northern hemisphere, the "Insect Bird Festival " is held on the fourth Saturday of August and September.
In 2021, the event will be held on August 28 (Saturday) and September 25 (Saturday ), so please join us!
Seasonal limited items are now available at Tanuki Shopping!
Tanuki Shopping" will also feature items related to seasonal events around the world.
Obon
Obon is the time of year when our ancestors return home.
The " Cucumber Horse " to wish for the early return of your ancestors and the " Nasubi-no-Ushi " to wish for a slow return will be available in Tanuki Shopping from August 10, 2021 (Tue) to August 16, 2021 (Mon).
Since it may be difficult to return home or visit graves this Obon, why not enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of Obon on the island?
Otsukimi, Mid-Autumn Festival, Autumn Evening
In 2021, the " Mid-Autumn Moon ( Fifteen Nights)" will be on September 21 (Tuesday).
What would tsukimi (moon viewing) be complete without " tsutsumi dango," a stack of round dumplings, right?
From September 12 (Sun.) to September 21 (Tue.), 2021, Tanuki Shopping will have " Tsukimi Dango" and " Tsuki no Ragu " to create the atmosphere of Otsukimi!
At the same time, " Gegege" (Gegebae), which is associated with " Mid-Autumn Festival " in China, and " Seongpyeong ", which is associated with " Chuseok " in Korea, will also be available at the Tanuki Shopping.
The Chinese "Mid-Autumn Festival" is a day for family reunion, and everyone eats moon cakes together. In Korea, "Autumn Evening" is a day to offer "Songpyeong" to ancestors.
Let's enjoy various Asian autumn events!
