The Kikuchi Tourism Association rents out bicycles. Use it has increased recently. This time, we would like to introduce the popular Outbound destination "Marichi Castle". Marichi Castle is a mountain castle built by the Yamato administration in the latter half of the 7th century (about 1350 years ago). Excavations by the prefecture have uncovered valuable remains, including the remains of 72 buildings, the remains of a Water reservoir, and the remains of a Earthen mound. You can also see the restored building in action. In addition, at the Onko Soseikan, you can learn more about the history and structure of Marichi Castle through exhibitions and videos. Excavations have been carried out since 1967 (Showa 42). In terms of size, it is about 12 times the size of Tokyo Dome. The park is very spacious, so it is ideal for walking. In fact, our staff also went on an electrically assisted bicycle. I was able to arrive from Kikuchi City Hometown Creation Citizens Square to Marichi Castle in about 20 minutes. Slope is a little, but since it is an electrically assisted bicycle, you can drive it easily. The premises also has a café "Kuri to Sora" that sells Sweets made from Japanese chestnuts. Among them, Montblanc Soft seems to be very Popular. Please stop by the café for healing your trip. You can enjoy the scenery that you don't usually see. When you come to Kikuchi City, please enjoy your bicycle trip.

The hot days continue, and there are few people for the purpose of walking around the Castle Town ... In the summer, Kitsuki enjoys marine sports, the campsite is crowded, and the Castle Town is a little Vacation. Meanwhile, I was also and curious about how hot it was, and in the morning ... Even though it was cool, I took a walk around the town at 33 degrees Celsius. Today, I'm posting with a slightly rough feeling. Tea shop to cool off, flower shop with flowers in the heat of the past few days ... And such? If you walk a little, you can stop by the ice cream shop of your grandmother, who is over 90 years old, and if you take a peek at the shared kitchen space with House guests, Shokudo if you look at it, the daily lunch is an omelet 💚. The heat was terrible, but it was good to see all kinds of people, and it was good to see good things such as a nostalgic mailbox that had been repainted beautifully before I knew it. I will post it separately to everyone. Please be careful of this heat.

#009 There are about 50 restaurants and confectionery shops in Tonomachi. This is the second installment of the Gourmet series! We would like to introduce an Udon noodles restaurant that opened in May of the first year of Reiwa and is now popular outside Tonomachi. ~Now it's all "Specialties of Tono"~ Hidenoya Udon noodles (Hinoya Udon noodles) Gari off the Tono Interchange, turn left at the first traffic light, and after a short distance, you will see a sign for "Udon noodles" on your left. That is the "Hidenoya Udon noodles" introduced this time. In most cases, the Car parking lot at lunchtime is Car full. We will introduce the recommended menu of Hidenoya Udon noodles, desserts that only those in the know know, and when you should go at the Time Slot / Time of Day. ◆ Recommended menu (including my recommendation) 〇Vegetable tempura bukkake Udon noodles Vegetables are purchased at Roadside Stations or wholesale directly from farmers. Therefore, all of them are vegetables from Tonomachi. The vegetables are sweet and the batter is crispy! It's addictive!! 〇Meat ball bukkake Udon noodles The simmered beef goes well with the broth and hot balls, and it's delicious!! I recommend this to students and meat Udon noodles lovers! By the way, it is my recommendation. (laughs) In addition, there are also "Ume Plum Grated Bukkake Udon Noodles" and "Cold Zaru Udon Noodles" that you will want to eat this season, as well as a set menu of Udon noodles and tempura! Here, we will also introduce a surprisingly unknown dessert after a aftermeal. It is "homemade soy milk pudding". In fact, there are customers who come for this dessert and this pudding. I sometimes go there for this. But it's delicious because it's eaten after Udon noodles! Homemade looks delicious, doesn't it? Black honey and powder are sprinkled from the top of the pudding, and its smoothness and slight sweetness give you an Impression that you have never eaten before. I lived in Kagawa for university, so I ate a lot of Chewy Udon noodles and delicious Udon noodles. However, the noodles at "Hidenoya Udon noodles" are chewy, and you can feel the Commitment in the broth and ingredients, and they are unique, so I personally think that "Hidenoya Udon noodles" is the most delicious. I was surprised by the Commitment and delicacy of the manager of this shop. When you stop by Tonomachi, be sure to come and eat the exquisite Udon noodles. Finally, when is the best Time Slot / Time of Day? Weekdays, it is recommended to come at the same time as the store opens or after 1:30. It depends on the day, but this Time Slot / Time of Day is good! On Vacation days, it is basically full! ◆ Outline of the store Business hours 11:00~14:30 Regular holiday Tuesday (with temporary closure) ☎　　　　０９８３－３２－８３１１ Instagram⇒＠hinoyaudon

Every year when Children's Day approaches, Carp streamers swim out on the river. On this day, the wind was light and the scene of the Carp streamers reflecting on the surface of the water was beautiful. It is not a particularly large or famous river, but I wanted to cherish this scenery that has been passed down by the local people.

#008 【Sightseeing spot Special Feature Part 2 ✨】 Introducing the Sightseeing spot "Tono Winery" where you can overlook Tono Town! I will do my best to make you want to go! Tono wine has won numerous awards both in Japan and abroad! The Tono Winery where the wine is produced is packed with various charms. We will introduce such wines and Winery. ◆ About Tono Wine Originally, Miyazaki Prefecture had a shochu culture, so wine had not penetrated easily, and it was said that the environment was unfavorable for grape cultivation. Nevertheless, Tono Wine is made with the idea of "making world-class wines" by inheriting the foundation built by "Eitomo Hyakuji", who continued to challenge Cultivation of grapes. Speaking of Tono wine, it is a Rose wine from Campbell Early, but in fact, this wine was selected as one of the "100 Best Wines in the World" by the wine report in 2004, and this Rose has many repeat customers even now. Many wines are awarded in domestic and international competitions and awards every year, so there are many people who come to buy Tono wine not only from within the prefecture but also from outside the prefecture and from outside the country, and order online. There are wines that are easy to drink even for those who are not good at wine, and there are wines that use not only grapes but also Miyazaki's Specialties "Mango". What kind of place is Tono Winery where such Tono wine is made? ◆What kind of place is Tono Winery? Tono Winery spreads out on the Makiuchi Plateau surrounded by the Hyuga-nada and Osuzu mountain range. Since you can overlook Tonomachi, it is also famous as a night view Spot and a superb view Spot for the town's fireworks festival. Visiting the site is also available, as this place has shops with wine and bakeries, Brewery and vineyards. Thereare is not usually allowed into the Brewery, so I don't know much about how it is made, but there is a place in the shop where you can see a little inside. You'll be surprised at how big the machine is! Also, I have never been to and vineyard myself. However, there is a row of grapes planted next to the cars parking lot, so you can have a simulated experience. And most of all, the shop! There are dozens of wines in this shop, and the descriptions are written in detail, making it easy to choose even if you don't know. Also, if you can't choose, it's a good idea to ask someone nearby who is familiar with wine. In addition to wine, there are many "Snacks" that go well with the wine, so it will be a time of happiness for wine lovers. In addition, this shop also has a bakery, so many people come for bread. There are many types of bread, and the type changes from day to day, so it is one of the Traditional Japanese straw raincoats. Please stop by when you come to Tonomachi. Now, the next Sightseeing spot Special Feature is "Roadside Station", the gateway to the road in Tonomachi. Please look forward to!!
