Inobuta Derby and a Waterfall

Ever wonder what Susami is famous for?  Well, there’s the local resort hotel… the amazing sashimi… and, well, the inobuta!  Inobuta are boar-pig, crossbread right here in town.  They’re for eating (and quite yummy!) 364 days out of the year.  Every year in May, however, people come from afar for the small-town Inobuta Derby!

Sorry, there’s no sound in this video:

And, for fun, here’s a video of one of our two local waterfalls, Shizuku no Taki,
