Hompe is a traditional festival of the Ainu people held every summer.

We visit the settings of Ainu legends such as Pasicl Swamp and the Ainu cultural activity facility Uresipa (nurturing each other) Cise (home). See how the Ainu pass down the pride in their culture from parent to child, as we learn about the spiritual essence of the Ainu.
