~It's going to be sunny today ☼~ Hello! This is the Kitsuki City Tourism Association. Last time, Kitsuki Castle post the Scene we took a walk around the area. Today we went to the Castle Town area for a while. The photo shows the view from the scenery "Suya Slope" representing Kitsuki City ~ Kitadai Samurai Residence Street ~ Ohara Residence Scene of the mansion and garden. 【Suya Slope】A slope that tells a lot of the town The slope of Suya Slope, which connects the Samurai residence of Kitadai and the merchant town with its impressive earthen walls and stone walls, is a slope with very beautiful stone pavement. Shihoya's slopes are often introduced as a set, and that's no wonder. These two slopes, which represent Kitsuki, are opposite, and if you go down the slope of Shihoya, you will reach the slope of Suya Slope. The origin of the name of the slope is closely related to the merchants of Tanimachi. Shioya Choemon, who ran a liquor store, was a wealthy merchant who prospered greatly in the salt shop (liquor store) that was running at the bottom of the slope from Tanimachi to Minamidai, and then started a vinegar shop business at the bottom of the slope from Tanimachi to Kitadai. The slopes came to be known as "Shioya (Shihoya) no Saka" or "Suya Slope" because of their respective Squid. As you can see from this episode, Saka is deeply connected to this town, Gari not only has it connected life and people, but it also connects the Edo period and the present in this way. Needless to say, the existence of such a slope shines as a valuable personality of Kitsuki. 【Ohara Residence】 A glimpse into the life of a senior samurai in a beautiful old house Kitadai Samurai Residence Street lined with the ruins of the residences of senior samurai. Among them Suya Slope the Ohara Residence next door is a valuable architectural heritage that even now the lifestyle and atmosphere of the residence of a senior samurai who served as an elder and other important positions. It has a splendid thatched roof and a beautiful walking Garden in the large garden. Other, there is a wide entrance, the presence of the next room, the bow ceiling, and the waiya. Far from being glamorous, it is simple and solid, and yet the high level of formality can be seen everywhere, and evidence that this was the residence of a high-ranking samurai of high status is left in every corner of the building. This building is also a space where you can feel and read about the culture of the Edo period, the culture of samurai society, and the care for people. In addition, there are still even now interesting ingenuities, such as the wisdom of valuing things and saving money can be seen in the washing area and the furnace. ☆ The last photo is a service shot. "The Secret of the Earthen Wall" ~ If you look closely, you can see the structure from the broken part. On the way to the walk, that? You may also encounter interesting situations such as "N??". We will be posting like this in the future, so please take a look.

Thinking about the future of the oceans and what we can do on World Environment Day Hello, this is 🌊 Hokule'a Shonan June 5 is World Environment Day 🌏 For those of us who face the sea every day and work to deliver the charm of the sea, This is a special day with a very important meaning. When you hear the word "environmental issues," you may feel that it is a distant story. Issues that should be addressed by the government and companies, and what experts should consider It's easy to think like that. The truth is that environmental issues do not belong to "anyone" but to each of us. For example, straws and plastic shopping bags from convenience stores that you used casually. Even if you think you have thrown it away properly, it will be blown away by the wind and washed away by the rain. Thereare you may end up in the sea. As a result, more and more plastic waste continues to grow in the ocean. If we don't do anything, It is said that 😢 by 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean will exceed the amount of fish And the fish that accidentally ate the plastic died, Sea turtles are dying, whales are dying, and seabirds are dying. Is that the kind of future we really want? 🐢🐟🐋🕊️ What we can do doesn't have to be big. However, each of them has the power to change the future in a big way. For example ✅ Don't "opt" for single-use plastic products ✅ "Picking up" plastic waste that has fallen on the Coast Even the smallest actions can eventually lead to big changes. One thing 🌱 you can do today In Hokule'a Shonan, through diving and snorkeling, I feel that it is our mission to focus on and convey both the beauty of the ocean and the challenges we are currently facing. Passing on the beautiful ocean to the next generation. Why don't you start doing just one thing today? #WorldEnvironmentDay #OceanPlastic #OneActionCanChangeTheFuture #ProtectOurOceans #DiveAgainstDebris #PADI #SDGs14 #ProjectAware #HokuleaShonan

It is a retro station that has been carrying people and feelings since 1925 (at that time, it was the terminus of the Bobi South Line, the predecessor of the Bobi Line).

#005 This time, we would like to introduce the soccer team "Velos Kronos Tono" in Tonomachi, which is aiming to join the J-League. Currently based in Tonomachi, Koyu District, Miyazaki Prefecture, Velos is a member of the Kyushu Soccer League and is working hard to join the J-League. In this post, I'd like to talk about the details of Velos, its history, its work, and one player I've worked with. ◆ Details of Velos Their hometown is Tonomachi, and their home stadium is Tonomachi Fujimi Park Track and Field Stadium, and they practice for the Marker every day. The club's color is green onions, and the management corporation is "J.FC Miyazaki Co., Ltd.", which was founded in 2014. ◆ History of Velos In 2019, J.FC MIYAZAKI (the original team of Velos) and the Tsuno Sports Commission, a general incorporated association in Tsunomachi, signed an agreement on two vocational education projects, and the following year, the hometown was moved from Miyazaki City to Tsunomachi, and the club color became the current onion. The following year, the club's name was changed to "Velos Kronos Tono" and the team logo and emblem were renewed. Thereare has a short history as Velos, but the truth is that it has a much longer history. This time, I will break it short. By the way, the origin of Velos Kronos Tono is a combination of the Greek word "Velos" for "arrow" and the Greek god of agriculture "Kronos" named after the Yaken waterfall in Tonomachi. ◆ Recent Velos I started working for the Tonomachi Tourism Association in April last year, and from there I learned about Velos and started supporting them because I sometimes worked with them. In fact, there are many athletes at Velos who are professional soccer players and office workers. The source of this is the "Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers". The Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers are a system that contributes to regional revitalization by moving from urban areas to depopulated areas and disadvantaged areas and conducting community revitalization activities. Velos has adopted this system, which means that you can concentrate on football in the morning and work in your own place in the afternoon. The places of work are farmers, companies and organizations in Tonomachi, and are said to be digital teams and agricultural teams. Last year, there was only one player who came to this tourism association as a volunteer. There is also a lot of attention on the underage generation of Velos. As part of the Traditional Japanese straw raincoat initiative of the Tsuno Sports Academy, we are conducting a unique project involving the local community to nurture young people from childhood to adolescence through sports, life, education, vocational education, and local education. As a good member of society before being an athlete, the development of human resources who can be a role model for the local community and lead the community may be unique to this town. In the first place, if you think about what it would be like to be a professional athlete, it's not very good, but I can't convince myself to work as a professional at the same time, and why would I be like this? Thereare that question I asked the players. ◆ The story of a player who came to the tourism association as a volunteer "Certainly, I think there are quite a few players who have doubts about farming and using a computer even though they are professionals. Some players are dissatisfied with the team's approach and policy. But it's a feature that few other teams have, and it's a valuable experience for those of us who haven't experienced society in the first place. It's rewarding, and my daily way of thinking has changed. The thing I feel most when I join this tourism association is that I am at an age where I can be called a veteran, so I have to be a role model for the team, and the results I have done here will also be a Gari connection with local residents. At this age, when I think about where to retire, I think there are people who go out into the world and people who are involved in soccer teams. When it comes to going out into the world in such a situation, it can be said that the career so far has not been effective at all. That's why joining Velos gave me an opportunity to think about what to do after retirement, and it also gave me an opportunity to think about myself when I went out into the world. All I want to say is that this experience will be a great asset in life. Because of that experience, or because I was in Velos, there will definitely be things in the future that I will feel. It may be something that young players don't understand right now, but if you work hard where you are, you will be recognized by your teammates, coaches, staff, and more specifically, local residents. I think it will be supported not only by myself but also by the team. It's a small town, so if we work together and help each other, we will become a team that is rooted in the community, and I think we will be able to aim higher." He said. This person has now moved to Kanagawa Prefecture and is working as a secretary to a member of Congress. This is also surprising, isn't it? But I think it's definitely the result of what he's been building up for himself. Next, I will talk about what I felt during the last year of working with him. When I joined the Tourism Association in April 2024, he had been dispatched as the Tourism Association's first volunteer about two months earlier. That was my first impression. However, the men quickly became friends with each other and acted together more often. In the summer Festival, I carried the Mikoshi with the team under the scorching sun. I also went on a business trip to Saroma Town, Hokkaido, a friendly city, and Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture, a sister city, and was in charge of grilling charcoal chicken at local Events. When I think about it now, I feel like I was a working person. The one that we worked together the most was the Industrial Festival, which is one of the famous festivals in Tonomachi. Stalls and Kitchen Car were arranged, venue previews were conducted, and new challenges were also taken on with him. I might have seen him more as a respected senior at work than as a footballer. I think that's why I didn't feel like a footballer at work. Then, at the end of 2024, I retired from football, quit the volunteers, and became a secretary to a member of Congress. Professional athletes are basically involved in sports after retirement. For example, there are managers, coaches, sports directors, team management, and so on. After retirement, he became a secretary, let alone a member of Congress! And I was surprised. No wonder, it was also a news article on the Internet. It was a valuable experience for me, as I was able to work with such a person from my first year as a member of society. The reason I write this is because I believe that the efforts of Velos Kronos are meaningful. I think this initiative will have a big impact on footballers' careers after retirement. There are also players who came to Velos and fell in love with Tonomachi and live there after retirement. I am convinced that by not only supporting the team, but also cooperating with local residents, both Tonomachi and Velos will develop. This year, they have won 5 league matches and lost 1 in the league, defeated J3 Gainare Tottori in the Emperor's Cup, and will face J1 Nagoya Grampus in the second round on 11 June. I want you to cause a giant killing. We will continue to pay attention to the trends of Velos Kronos Tono!
