Fukkoji Hydrangeas ❚ Bloom Status as of June 3, 2025 Fukkoji, located in Asaji Town, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture, is famous as a hydrangea sightseeing spot. The hydrangeas are currently about 40–50% in bloom. Flowering is progressing. The plants that bloomed early are showing beautiful flowers. We will announce updates on the bloom status as they come. [Location] Kamiotsuka, Asaji Town, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture [Access] About 10 minutes by car from JR Asaji Station [Parking] Available (free) [Toilets] Available ❚ Fukkoji The bas-relief Buddhist statue carved into the temple grounds, including its pedestal, stands at about 11 meters tall and is one of Japan’s largest rock-carved Buddhas. The central enormous figure is Fudo Myo-o. Fudo Myo-o typically appears in an angry form, but years of wind and rain have softened this carving into a round, gentle expression. Although it is a large Fudo Myo-o, it has a very approachable appearance. Fukkoji is also called Hydrangea Temple because so many hydrangeas are planted there. During the rainy season, you can see numerous hydrangea blooms alongside the rock-carved Buddha. The hydrangeas planted here are cared for by the temple and local residents. ■■■ Access to central Bungo-Ono City ■■■ About 3 hours by car from JR Hakata Station, Fukuoka Prefecture About 2 hours by car from JR Kumamoto Station, Kumamoto Prefecture About 1 hour 20 minutes by car from JR Beppu Station, Oita Prefecture About 1 hour 20 minutes by car from JR Yufuin Station, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Introducing sightseeing and recommended spots in Kyushu, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■

From the Saikai City Tourism Association, this is ♪ an announcement of a superb view Spot in Saikai City Seihi Town The Saikai of Nagasaki Prefecture faces the three sides Mukai Sea, and the spectacular view from high ground park Spot There are! (1) Hachijingatake Park 〒851-3425 Nagasaki, Saikai City, Seihi Town, Hirayama Township 1639 There are various theories about the origin of the place name "Hachijingatake", such as the fact that eight samurai of the Minamoto clan, who had been chasing the fallen people of the Heike family, were caught in a sudden storm and survived the wind and rain in a rock hole, but died in a landslide, and that the name of this place came from the fact that eight samurai were taking sumo wrestling. From the Observation decks, you can see the dragon's head-shaped Ajiro Peninsula and the islands floating in Omura Bay. The islands are in order from Coast onwards: Heta Anbo Island→ Oki Anbo Island→ Tamago Island→ Yakishima Island→ Chidori Island→ Dojima Island→ Nagashima Island→ Yataka Island. On Tamago Island and Chidori Island, the legend of the fallen people of the Heike family remains, and Taira Atsumori's wife, Tamayohime, her maid Chidorihime, and Tamayohime's nanny, Yodohime, fell to this place after the Heike was defeated at the Battle of Dannoura, but here they were taken captive. The three captives were forced to live separately. There is still a stone Shrine on Tamago Island, and it is said that Princess Tamayori is enshrined. It is said that a small Nature stone enshrined on Chidori Island with the inscription "Chidori Spirit". In addition, Nagashima is the "birthplace of round pearls". (2) Shi Main Hall Park 〒851-3312 Nagasaki-ken Saikai Seihi Shirasaki Township It is a park located in Seihi Town, located on the west shore of Omura Bay. Seasonal flower strolls, camping and Barbecue can be enjoyed throughout the year. There is also an observation deck in the park, and the view of Omura Bay from the observation deck is superb. There is also Playground equipment for small children. In addition, in the park, you can feel the history of the "Ocha no Water", where it is said that Fujiwara Naozumi (the founder of the Village clan) landed and sat on the way to the land of Village in the past, and the "Ocha no " where it is said that he served tea by drawing spring water.

It may come out suddenly while driving, so it is recommended 🦌🚗 to drive slowly at night³₃ You may be surprised to see an antelope that is more than 1 meter long, but antelopes are not animals that can harm people. Most of the time, when they see people, they go 😊 back to the mountains If you see one, keep an eye on it 🦌

Minagi Station on the Bobi Line in Okayama Prefecture. 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). There are many stations in the Chugoku region, including the Bobi Line, with such a retro atmosphere, so I would like to visit all of them someday.

#005 This time, I will introduce the Tsuno town soccer team aiming to join the J.League, Veros Chronos Tsuno. Veros, currently based in Tsunocho, Koyu District, Miyazaki Prefecture, plays in the Kyushu Soccer League and is striving to join the J.League. In this post, I will touch on Veros’s details, history, initiatives, and one player I worked with. ◆Details about Veros The hometown is Tsunocho and the home stadium is Tsunocho Fujimi Park Athletic Stadium, where the team trains daily toward its goals. The club color is asagi (light blue-green), and the operating corporation is J.FC Miyazaki Co., Ltd., founded in 2014. ◆History of Veros In 2019, J.FC MIYAZAKI (the former team of Veros) and the general incorporated association Tsuno Sports Commission of Tsunocho signed an agreement on the Tsuno vocational training project. The following year they moved the hometown from Miyazaki City to Tsunocho and adopted the current asagi club color. The next year the club name changed to Veros Chronos Tsuno, and the team logo and emblem were revamped. Veros’s history as a name is short, but the team actually has a much longer background. I will abbreviate that history here. By the way, the name Veros Chronos Tsuno comes from combining the Greek word for “arrow,” veros, referring to Yatake Falls in Tsunocho, and Chronos, the Greek mythological god of agriculture. ◆Recent Veros I started working at the Tsuno Town Tourism Association in April last year, and since then I learned about Veros, worked with them, and began supporting the team. Many Veros players balance being professional footballers and company employees. The root of this is the regional revitalization cooperation program. The program brings people from urban areas to depopulated or disadvantaged regions to live and carry out community revitalization activities. Veros adopts this system: players devote their mornings to soccer and work at various places in the afternoons. Employers include local farmers, companies, and organizations in Tsunocho, grouped as digital teams or agricultural teams. Last year, one player was assigned to the tourism association as a cooperation squad member for a year. Veros’s youth teams are also attracting attention. As part of the general incorporated association Tsuno Sports Academy’s efforts, they run a unique, community-engaged project to nurture young people from childhood through youth in sport, daily life, education, vocational training, and local engagement. Before being athletes, these young people grow into good members of society, serve as role models for the community, and lead regional development—this kind of human resource development may be unique to this town. Frankly, if I imagined myself as a professional athlete, I would find it hard to accept working another job while still a pro; I might wonder why I had to do it. Because of that doubt, I asked players about it. ◆A player who was seconded to the tourism association as a cooperation squad member said “Certainly, some players question doing farming or working with computers while being professionals. Some players are dissatisfied with the team’s methods and policies. Still, this characteristic is rare among other teams, and for those of us without social experience, it’s a valuable opportunity. It’s rewarding, and it has changed how I think about everyday life. Joining this tourism association made me feel that, being of an age called a veteran, I must set an example for the team, and the results here strengthen ties with local residents. When I consider life after retirement, some will enter society or stay involved with soccer. In society, past athletic experience hardly carries weight. That’s why joining Veros prompted me to think about life after retirement and who I will be when I re-enter society. I want to say this: these experiences become a wonderful asset in life. There will come a time when you think, ‘It was because of that experience,’ or ‘Because I was at Veros.’ Young players might not understand now, but by working hard where you are, you earn recognition from teammates, coaches, staff, and, more broadly, local residents. That recognition will bring support not just for you but for the team. Because it’s a small town, working together and helping each other makes the team rooted in the community and able to aim higher.” He told me this. He now lives in Kanagawa Prefecture and works as a secretary to a local assembly member. That was surprising, but it’s undoubtedly the result of what he built for himself. Next, I will talk about what I felt during the year I worked with him. When I joined the tourism association in April 2024, he had been dispatched about two months earlier as the association’s first cooperation squad member. My first impression was that he looked flashy, but we quickly became close and often acted together. At the summer festival, under the blazing sun, our team carried the mikoshi shrine float. We traveled together on business to the sister city Saroma in Hokkaido and to the sister city Itoman in Okinawa Prefecture, where he was in charge of grilling local jidori chicken over charcoal at events. Looking back, he was a hard worker. The event we worked hardest on together was one of Tsunocho’s famous festivals, the Industry Festival. We arranged stalls and food trucks, scoped venues, and took on new challenges together. I may have seen him more as a respected senior colleague at work than merely as a soccer player. He rarely acted like a footballer while working. Then, at the end of 2024, he retired from soccer, left the cooperation squad, and became a secretary to an assembly member. It is common for retired professional athletes to stay in sports as managers, coaches, sports directors, or move into team management. I was amazed that he became a secretary to an assembly member after retirement. No wonder it was covered in online news. Working with someone like him from my first year as a professional was a valuable experience for me too. I write this because I believe Veros Chronos’s initiatives have real meaning. These efforts greatly influence players’ careers after retirement. Some players fell in love with Tsunocho after joining Veros and chose to live here after retirement. By not only cheering the team but cooperating with local residents, I am convinced that both Tsunocho and Veros will develop together. This year, they dominated the league with five wins and one loss, and in the Emperor’s Cup they beat J3’s Gainare Tottori, setting up a second-round match against J1 Nagoya Grampus on June 11. I hope for a giant-killing upset. I will continue to watch Veros Chronos Tsuno’s progress!!
