Let us introduce Tokachi Plain Distillery, which makes craft gin in Tokachi, a region known for its agriculture, using mainly locally grown produce such as raspberries, adzuki beans, and mushrooms. The area’s first craft gin distillery opened in 2023 on the grounds of Tokachi Hills, and it currently offers three gins under the name AKATOKI. 📌The first batch featured a gold label and used 24 botanicals, including Tokachi-grown adzuki beans and mushrooms, creating layers of rich, savory flavors.🎵 📌The pink-label gin uses raspberries grown in Obihiro, giving it a gentle, sweet fruit character and a naturally pale pink hue from the fruit itself.🎵 📌The blue-label gin uses butterfly pea and lavish amounts of fresh bergamot peel to deliver a bright citrus aroma. Mixed with tonic water it turns pink, and with soda it becomes a pale blue, making it a visually delightful gin as well.🎵 The deep, clear blue extracted from butterfly pea flowers is inspired by the gemstone tanzanite. Each bottle of these three carefully crafted gins is made with attention; try comparing them side by side, and pair them with meat dishes, which go particularly well with these gins.🤗 They are sold at the Tokachi Hills shop, Roadside Station Otofuke, Garden Spa Tokachigawa Onsen, Roadside Station Kamishihoro, Roadside Station Shihoro Onsen, and other locations (please note they may be sold out). https://tokachi-pd.jp//

From today (7/7), Nonaka Hot spring's goods are on sale at the Roadside Station shop. About six months after the fire in January 2025, hard work is underway to rebuild. Proceeds from the sale of goods will be used to support reconstruction. Thank you for your cooperation.

On July 5, 2025, hydrangea deadheading took place around Fukkoji Temple in Asaji Town, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture. About 50 people took part and removed spent hydrangea blooms from the temple grounds and nearby areas. In about two hours, the precincts were transformed into a sea of green. Thank you to everyone who participated. May beautiful hydrangeas bloom again next year. ❚ About Fukkoji Temple The bas-relief Buddhist statue carved into the rock on the temple grounds, including its pedestal, reaches roughly 11 meters in height and ranks among Japan’s largest rock-carved Buddhas. The enormous central figure is Fudo Myoo (the Immovable Wisdom King). Fudo Myoo typically appears in a wrathful form, but years of wind and rain have softened the features of this carving into a rounder, gentler expression. Though large in scale, the figure has a very approachable presence. Fukkoji is also known as “Hydrangea Temple” for the many hydrangeas planted there. During the rainy season, visitors can enjoy abundant hydrangea blooms alongside the rock-carved Buddha. The hydrangeas are cared for by the temple and local community. ■■■ Access to central Bungo-Ono City ■■■ About a three-hour drive from JR Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture About a two-hour drive from JR Kumamoto Station in Kumamoto Prefecture About a one hour 20 minute drive from JR Beppu Station in Oita Prefecture About a one hour 20 minute drive from JR Yufuin Station in Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Introducing sightseeing and recommended spots in Kyushu, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■
