Summary
The Hokkaido Prefectural Esashi College of Nursing will host Esashi Kokan Festival, a community-style open campus, on July 25, 2026.
The Hokkaido Prefectural Esashi College of Nursing will host Esashi Kokan Festival, a community-style open campus, on July 25 (Saturday), 2026 from 11:00 to 14:00. The festival is designed for children through adults and blends the format of an academic open campus with a summer community fair.
What happened
The college positions the day as a chance to show what today’s Esashi Kokan looks like. In addition to a standard open campus with a campus tour and a heart-sound listening experience using a training mannequin, the program includes nursing and patient experience sessions, a Little Nurse photo booth, a health promotion corner, a community food stall and a mini traditional festival area.
Why it matters
Esashi is one of Hokkaido’s historic coastal towns in the Hiyama region, and its community life is closely connected to local health services. An event that combines an open campus with community programming gives the college a chance to attract prospective students while inviting residents to reconnect with an institution that plays a central role in the region’s care system.
