This is one of the photos when I was traveling to see the cherry blossoms in Yamanashi Prefecture in Spring this year. I visited this temple when I heard that there was a magnificent Cherry Blossom Tree-lined Path. Local grandpas were enjoying a banquet under the cherry blossoms in full bloom. When I saw everyone looking up at the beautiful cherry blossoms overhead, I thought that Spring had come for everyone, and I clicked the shutter.

Bat Waterfall Bat Waterfall in Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, spans about 120 meters in width and about 10 meters in height. When viewed from above, the shape of the cliff is said to resemble a bat spreading its wings, which is how the waterfall got its name. You can see the whole waterfall from the Bat Waterfall Observation Deck. This waterfall lies on the main stream of the Ono River. In the Meiji era, workers built a bypass canal around the falls and a chute-like slide to move boats up and down so cargo could be transported by boat along the Ono River. The remains of this waterway construction are a highly valuable heritage site and have been designated an Oita Prefecture historic site as the "Bat Waterfall Boat Route Ruins." Location: Between Kusabukano in Ogata Town and Kamiozuka in Asaji Town, Bungoono City About a 50-minute drive from Oita Mera IC About a 12-minute drive from JR Ogata Station *The road to the Bat Waterfall Observation Deck includes some very narrow sections, so please drive with great care.* Access to central Bungoono City About a 3-hour drive from JR Hakata Station, Fukuoka Prefecture About a 2-hour drive from JR Kumamoto Station, Kumamoto Prefecture About a 1 hour 20 minute drive from JR Beppu Station, Oita Prefecture About a 1 hour 20 minute drive from JR Yufuin Station, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Introducing sightseeing and recommended spots in Kyushu, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■

Yesterday (9/9), we replanted the bulbs of Water daffodils in the scenic spot Tsumekizaki in Shimoda City. Water Sen is a flower that blooms in winter, and Shimoda City Held in the Water Sen Festival from December 20 to January 31. All the bulbs of the Water daffodils that bloom in the park are dug up in June every year, and when the summer is over, the Shimoda City park management staff plants the bulbs. Water daffodils seem to be flowers that bloom without repotting for several years, but I dig them up and replant them while checking the soil and buried bulbs so that beautiful Water senzans bloom. Today, about 15 people gathered to work. We did it 😊 with the hope that it will bloom even more beautifully this year I am looking forward to ✨ the opening of the season when I imagine that this bulb will open its eyes and bloom, and in three months it will become a Water Senen garden like pure white snow Participating in the work were the people of the Local Suzaki Ward, Izu Kyuko Line, Shimoda Kaikoku Museum, Shimoda Ropeway, Villa Ozawa (Tsumekizaki Store), Blues Tsumeki (Tsumekizaki Store), Shimoda City General Affairs Division, Tourism Exchange Division, Shi~mon Information Center, and Shimoda City Tourism Association. Thank you to 😊 all the participants for their hard work under the scorching sun We would like to invite many customers to come to the Water Sen Festival again this year, so we plan to pass the baton to the park management staff and continue to replant the many bulbs. Thinking about Water Garden, which is dyed pure white, we are waiting for you in January! * The photo of Water Senen Garden in full bloom is the winning work of last year's photo contest.
