The other day (around mid-April), I photographed the flowers of the otome camellia (otome tsubaki) in the Mt. Rokko of Kobe. This Mt. Rokko area has been designated as the Setonaikai National Park and has been a suitable place for recreation and summer retreat since the Meiji era. Mountain villas and recreation centers have been built here and there in the mountains, and there are sightseeing spots such as Rokko Ranch, which is inspired by a mountain ranch in Switzerland, and Arima Onsen, which is counted as one of the three famous springs of pillow grass. The mountains opened by foreigners in the Kobe Settlement have many katakana names such as Cascade Valley (a valley of many small waterfalls) and Twenty Cross (20 mountain trails), recalling the history of foreigners opening the mountain. By the way, this time the otome camellia was taken at the place of the Japanese name, Otter Pond in Viper Valley. Aside from the Mt. Rokko area where many names from the Edo period remain, such as the Shojo Pond introduced here last year, Otter Pond is ... I wonder if the pond used to be full of otters, and I still look around for signs. The camellia blooming season is almost over, but now the azalea flowers are brightly colored all over the driveway. Animals and plants are rich in nature, Mt. Rokko how about ? hiking?

The morning sun shines from the fresh green of spring... Mt. Rokko in Kobe has been redressed! !! The photo is a morning scene taken near the ridge of the Omote Rokko Driveway in mid-April. I climbed the hill on a road bike, but it was a pleasant cycling that felt moderately sweaty (I climbed slowly). Mt. Rokko was opened as a leisure mountain by foreigners in the Meiji era, and Arthur Herkes Groom, who built the first mountain villa, is called the "founder of Mt. Rokko." The first mountain villa was built at a place called Mikuni Pond after climbing the driveway in the photo to the ridge. From there, foreigners and Japan people built mountain villas one after another, forming a village. It seems that there are no mountain villas left from that time now, but you can still see many recreation centers of various companies in the vicinity. Even if you actually climb on a road bike, you can meet foxes, raccoons, woodpeckers, squirrels, moles and monkeys, and you can feel that you have come to nature in a different world from the city. How about ? forest bathing for a mental retreat this spring?

With Mt. Iwate, known as "Nanbu Katafuji," in the background, Koiwai Farm's single cherry blossoms stand in a vast meadow. It is an imposing cherry tree with a height of about 20 meters and is said to be more than 100 years old. The sight of a single cherry blossom blooming dignified against the background of the majestic Mt. Iwate where snow remains is said to be a symbol of spring in Shizukuishi Town. The contrast between the colorful cherry blossoms and the lush meadows was enough to see the unique scenery of the farm.

Tomakomai Tourism Association
Apr. 21, 2023
To everyone who watches the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, this is the Tomakomai Tourism Association. In this account, we will introduce plenty of attractive sightseeing spots in "Tomakomai City", one of Japan's leading industrial cities and the largest port city in Hokkaido! Tomakomai is about one and a half hours by car from Sapporo City and about 30 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport, making it a very convenient transportation access. When sightseeing, rental bicycles are also available, so sightseeing while feeling the breeze of nature is also recommended. Now, we will introduce the sightseeing spots that Tomakomai City is proud of. ■ Mt. Tarumae Designated as a natural monument of Hokkaido, it is a triple volcano surrounded by two world-famous outer ring mountains. You can visit the 7th station by car, and you can easily climb from the 7th station to the summit in about 50 minutes, where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery and alpine plants. ■ Midorigaoka Park From the observation deck at the top of the park, you can overlook Tomakomai City. Fountains and flower beds are maintained, and it is also used by many people as an outdoor sports park with an athletic field and a rugby field. ■ Nishikionuma Park It is a park centered on Nishiki Onuma with a circumference of 1.6 kilometers and is surrounded by nature. You can enjoy it throughout the year at a full range of facilities such as the largest auto campsite "Alten" in Japan, a canoe base, a park golf course, and a hot bath facility "Yunomi-no-yu". ■ Northern Horse Park It is a popular tourist spot where you can interact with horses. You can experience horseback riding, sightseeing horse-drawn horses, sightseeing horse-drawn carriages, horse-drawn sleighs, horseback riding lessons, happy pony shows, horse trekking, etc. Next, we will introduce popular gourmet food, which is one of the pleasures of sightseeing in Tomakomai. Tomakomai City boasts the largest landing volume of hokki shellfish, which is said to be the king of shellfish, in Japan. It is known as a high-class sushi topping, but you can buy it comfortably in Tomakomai. In addition, there are plenty of popular specialty gourmet foods that you should definitely try when sightseeing, such as salmon and hokke seafood unique to port towns, haskap, Tomakomai ramen, sweets "Yoitomake" using haskap, Tarumae Genghis Khan, and Kitayori curry! We will continue to send out recommended information full of charm of Tomakomai that could not be written in this post, so thank you!
