After cutting hijiki, or seaweed from the rocks along the Camp Courtney beach shoreline, harvesters store the hijiki in bags. The hijiki is then boiled and dried before being used in food or ceremonies. Dried hijiki is good for 10 years. Camp Courtney opens its gates to the residents of Kunbu, Tengan, Akano, Uken and a Fisherman’s Association from Ishikawa Prefecture for the Hijiki Festival every year. The Hijiki Festival consists of 10 low-tide days in February and March where the sub-village residents harvest hijiki from the beach’s shoreline.
