🏮 Hiroo Kegani Matsuri

広尾毛がにまつり

Hokkaido (Seaside Park Hiroo Special Venue) · Dates to be confirmed

In Hiroo, a fishing town in southern Tokachi, the Hiroo Kegani Festival is held every December at Seaside Park Hiroo. Organized with the involvement of the Hiroo Town Fisheries, Commerce and Tourism Division and the Hiroo Town Tourism Association, this event is a regular fixture for enjoying the rich seafood landed locally, and many visitors come seeking shiomake salmon for the New Year. The highlight of the festival is the demonstration sale of kegani (hairy crab) boiled in a 2-meter-wide cauldron, alongside other fresh seafood such as shishamo, ikura, squid, and tsubu. At the direct-from-source sales corner, freshly caught local specialties can be bought at farm-gate prices, and free warm drinks and a lucky draw are also offered, enlivening Hiroo in winter.
