Photographed from near the boat racetrack near the Hakata Port Tower in Fukuoka. The feeling of the sky and the sky during the transition into the evening are indescribably wonderful. It became a scenery. Today I would like to write about the area around Hakata Port Tower. Hakata Port Tower is one of the symbols of Fukuoka City and is 123 meters high. From the observation deck of the tower, you can enjoy views of Hakata Bay and Fukuoka City. At night, the tower is lit up and very beautiful. There are many other attractions around Hakata Port Tower. For example, at the Hakata Port International Terminal, you can see international cruise ships arriving and departing. In addition, the Hakata Port Bridge is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Japan and is open to bicycles and pedestrians. From the Hakata Port Bridge, the contrast between the tower, the sea and the city can be seen beautifully. The area around Hakata Port Tower is a place where you can feel the charm of Fukuoka City. Please visit once!

Umikaji Terrace Umikaji Terrace is located on Senagashima, Tomigusuku City. In the Okinawan dialect, "umikaji" means "sea breeze". It is surrounded by the sea and the sea breeze is pleasant. Naha Airport is nearby, so you can see the planes landing from the terrace side. This photo was taken from the observation terrace at the top. Takeoff and landing change depending on the wind direction, but we were able to see the landing on this day.

In the forest on the ridge of Rokko, I found a secret place where a mysterious anecdote between Mr. Groom and a fox with a white tail remains. This is a place called Mikuniike on Mt. Rokko, which has flourished as a villa area since the Meiji era. I knew from the map that there was a villa of Arthur Hesketh Groom, a trader who came to Kobe in the Meiji era, but I stepped in to find out why Mr. Groome, who loved Japan, Kobe, and Mt. Rokko, built a villa here. Groom was born in Vernon Terrace, a coastal city overlooking the English and French Straits, and came to the Kobe Foreign Settlement in 1868 (Keio 3/Meiji 1st year). In this way, he was involved in the trade of Japan tea and Chinese tea, and eventually in 1895 (Meiji 28), he built a villa named 101 House here on the banks of Mikuni Pond. One day, when Groom hid a lost fox chased by a hunter, he stayed near the villa and fell asleep on Groom's lap. Eventually, after Mr. Groom's passing, a man who said that this fox had moved to his family came to visit him, and the surprised family built a shrine on Mt. Rokko to enshrine the fox. The man who visited had no connection with the Groom family and had a dream (was told by you?). It was said that he had arrived at the Groom family. Because the tail was white, this shrine was named Shirohige Shrine. Actually, I found this Shirahige Shrine first, visited it to learn about its origin, and this time I came to the site of the villa site of Mikuni Pond. Now, when I entered the mountain a little from the bus stop of Mikuni Pond, I heard the sound of a frog like the sound of a cello of a stringed instrument and the murmur of the water flowing smoothly. Soon we reached a path overlooking a large pond through the bushes. There was a small island in the pond, and I could see in the distance how the frog, startled by my presence, jumped to the surface of the water and its ripples spread soundlessly. That's when I was stunned. A short tree stands on the other side of a small island with trees... The surroundings were slightly bright, and I could feel the children of families who had come to hike and running around. I felt like I had seen Mr. Groom as a young child. At that moment, oh, yes! !! I felt convinced. I'm sorry if it's just my imagination, but this is a mountain with the same atmosphere as the waterside of the happy memories that Mr. Groom spent with his family when he was a child... Perhaps this Kobe, which faces the Seto Inland Sea, was very similar to his hometown Vernon Terrace facing the English Channel. The sense of security of hometown... For some reason, I couldn't help but imagine that this was conveyed to the white-tailed fox. Since building his first villa here, Groom has embarked on resort development, tree planting, and mountain trail maintenance on Mt. Rokko. I am sure that this is a power spot where various ideas are excited. This time it was ? a piece from a "secret place" surrounded by such healing greenery.

Shakotan Tourism Association
Jun. 10, 2023
Nice to meet everyone who watched the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS! Shakotan Tourism Association. In this first post, we will tell you plenty about the charm of Shakotan. First of all, the way to read Shakotan is "Shakotan". Hokkaido Shakotan-gun Shakotan occupies the tip of the Shakotan Peninsula in the Sea of Japan to the west of Hokkaido, and is a city with beautiful coastline, rich nature, fresh seafood, and a spectacular view of the "Shakotan Blue" sea, which shines blue like a jewel throughout the four seasons. In Shakotan, there are fishing ports such as Bikuni, Irika and Yobetsu, and herring fishing flourished until the Taisho period. Let's take a look at some of the most popular sightseeing spots in Shakotan, which is rich in nature. The symbol of the Shakotan Peninsula, "Golden Cape", is characterized by its beautiful precipitous cliffs. From Shakotan Tourism Association to Cape Kogane, it takes about 20 minutes to walk along the 560-meter promenade "Chashina Path" to reach the observatory. From the observatory Shakotan you can see the highly transparent cobalt blue sea and treasure island. Treasure Island has a circumference of 600 meters and is characterized by the shape of a heart when viewed from the sky. From the "Underwater Observation Ship New Shakotan", you can see the scenic spot of Cape Golden from the sea. Through the glass on the bottom of the boat, you can see fish and sea urchins swimming in Hokkaido's only marine park as if they were in your hands, and you can feel the marine ecosystem of Hokkaido up close. Cape Shakotan is also one of Shakotan's beautiful coastlines, with highly transparent and vivid blue waters. After passing through a small tunnel, you can visit the Shimamui coast, which has been selected as one of the "100 best beaches in Japan". It is the only cape in the Shakotan that can go down to the coast. If you walk along the "Shilara Path" with a total length of about 1,800 meters, you will arrive at the Merokoiwa Observatory in about 1 hour. There is a legend of Shirara, a maiden who fell in love with Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Next, I would like to introduce Cape Kamui. It takes about 26 minutes to walk along the "Charenka Path" promenade from the gate where women are prohibited to reach the tip of Cape Kamui, and a magnificent view of the Sea of Japan spreads out on both sides of the promenade, and the tip of the promenade is a superb view spot where you can see the surroundings 300 degrees. The Kamui Rock that can be seen below has the legend of the maiden Charenka standing in the sea. On the Shakotan Peninsula, you can also enjoy the great nature of the mountains. Mt. Shakotan is a 1255-meter mountain that is also home to brown bears. From the summit, which can be climbed in about 3 hours and 30 minutes, you can enjoy a superb 360-degree view as far as the eye can see. Next, we will introduce the specialty products of Shakotan. Speaking of Shakotan, fresh seafood!! In particular, "sea urchin" stands out among them, has a rich sweetness, and its taste is unforgettable once you eat it. There are many tourists who come to the Shakotan for fresh seafood such as sea urchins. Don't miss the information on Shakotan events and festivals. The "Tengu Fire Walking" of the "Bikuni Shrine Festival" held on July 4, 5, and 6 every year is a traditional event that has been held only here in Japan since the Edo period, and prays for maritime safety, good fishing, and a good harvest. Shakotan is full of natural beauty, fresh produce and great events that will put a smile on your face. The beautiful Shakotan blue sea, the taste of sea urchins dancing on the tongue, and an elegant time surrounded by nature. All of them will be deeply engraved in your hearts. We will regularly send out the latest information on the Shakotan of Hokkaido Shakotan-gun! Please look forward to!
