Michinoku Bank (Katsuda, Aomori City) holds “ Nebuta / Neputa Biz” at 4 stores in Aomori Prefecture, where you can wear Neputa costumes and other things to bring excitement to the summer festival.

The summer festival is now in full swing in Aomori Prefecture, with the Aomori Nebuta Festival in Aomori City and the Hirosaki Neputa in Hirosaki City until August 7. The "Tachineputa Festival" will be held in Goshogawara City until August 8.

This initiative will be implemented in support of Aomori Nebuta Biz. “Aomori Ritsushi Challenge Group” calls on companies in the prefecture to try “Cool Biz” in the form of Aomori's culture by wearing “Nebuta” and “Neputa” costumes, etc. ing.

The bank's Hirosaki Sales Department (Daikanmachi, Hirosaki City) allows employees in the line to carry out their work while wearing the original Hanten. This is my second time starting from last year. It was said that some customers said that they were cute.

Foreigners may visit the branch because there is a foreign currency exchange counter, and they may be surprised at the appearance of the hanten or ask where to buy the decorated goldfish Neputa. Mr. Toshihiko Narita of the branch said, "If the local bank can boost local festivals as much as possible."

On August 5th and 6th, the Aomori Sales Department (Katsuda, Aomori City) will wear the “Aomori Nebuta” costume, and the Hirosaki Sales Department will wear the original Hanten. Even at the Goshogawara branch (Honmachi, Goshogawara city), the original Hanten will be worn until August 8.
