#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

#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!!

#004 　It's getting a little hotter! 　I heard that the rainy season has started today in southern Kyushu, but I don't hate rain! Now, as the rainy season ends, summer will come all at once. Since it is already summer on the calendar, we will introduce the "Tono Shrine Summer Grand Festival", which is a summer tradition in Tonomachi, Miyazaki Prefecture! 【Minamoto of the Tono Shrine Summer Grand Festival】 　When you think of summer, you think of fireworks, stalls, and Bon Dancing. Depending on the region, various traditional events such as the Nebuta Festival in Aomori and the Gion Festival There are. 　What is the traditional event in Tsunomachi, it is the "Tsuno Shrine Summer Festival". 　In the first place, festivals are not held for no reason, but are almost always held for some purpose. For example, to protect against pests and Nature disasters, to ward off epidemics, and to interact with local residents. 　So, what about the Miyano Shrine Summer Grand Festival? In fact, it There are Minamoto at the Miyano Shrine Summer Grand Festival. It is said that the origin of this Festival Minamoto was due to the fact that Empress Jingong invited a festival to Mifune during the Silla expedition. The meaning of this Festival is that since Tonomachi is a town where the agriculture and livestock industry is thriving, the purpose There are is to ward off pests that hinder a good harvest, as well as typhoons in Miyazaki Prefecture, and to pray for the expulsion of epidemics. However, in fact, Ooanamuchinomikoto, who is enshrined in the Tono Shrine, is also the god of water, so it rained on festival days, and a few years ago a typhoon hit directly. 　Nevertheless, the Town residents continue to hold this festival without stopping. 【Charm of this Festival】 　It is a summer festival that people who were born and raised in Tonomachi look forward to every year, so much so that they say, "I don't go home for Bon or New Year, but I only go home for the summer festival," or "It's not summer if I don't go to the summer festival." That much? You might think so, but I'm one of them. Born and raised in Tonomachi, I have loved this festival since I was a child, and whenever I am in the third year of junior high school, I carry the Float of the junior high school. When you experience this, you will feel the coolness and satisfaction of the Float Stand, and you will also feel that you want to carry the Float Stand somewhere someday. We would like to introduce the charm of the "Miyano Shrine Summer Grand Festival". ◆About the schedule of the Festival 　August 1 and 2 of each year ◆Introduction of Float Stand 　In addition to the golden Mikoshi of the shrine, there are several Float stands in this Festival. It is no exaggeration to say that this Float is the charm of this Festival. ・Hamawaka Float (Shimohama area) ・Shinmachi Float (Shinmachi District) ・Kitawaka Float (Kitamachi District) ・Village Pump Float (mainly in the pine grove area) 　Float drums from these four towns Parade around the town for two days, and after entering the palace on the second day, they fight. In addition, there are Ands of Tono Junior High School Float, Shimohama Children's Float, Shimachi Children's Float, Ichinomiya Nursery School Mikoshi, etc., which liven up the festival. 　In addition, this is not the only thing that enlivens the festival, but there are also Tono Youth Drums, Djebe Drums, Pine Grove Lions, Yosakoi Maitreya Ren, and dances by each elementary school, and the sound of Drums echoes in various places over the two days. ◆ Contents of 2 days 　First of all, on the first day, "beach descent" is held, and Sarutahiko and a lion lead the Mikoshi while dispelling evil spirits from the path. The good Saruta Hiko Taki a tree branch to the ground, and a lion bites the heads of the onlookers as they walk. Some children cry because it is so powerful. As I do so, a golden Mikoshi carrying a junior high school boy comes from behind. The next thing that appears is the Float stand of Tono Junior High School. Girls carry the Float stand until the beach descent. Next, Float stands from the four towns will be lined up while carrying shouts that are as good as junior high school students. That's how we go down the beach. 　On the second day, a Float drum stand parades through the town, and in the evening, a Mikoshi departs along the shopping street, followed by other Float stands. Beyond that, the Finale place, "Hyuga Province Ichinomiya Tono Shrine" awaits. Thousands of onlookers gather in front of the Torii (shrine gate) gate on the east side of the Tono Shrine to catch a glimpse of the powerful scene, waiting for the sound of the Float to be heard. At 7 p.m., all the Mikoshi and Float drums pass through the Torii (shrine gate) gate to enter the shrine. In fact, the purpose of the visitors is after entering the palace. 　As I mentioned above, what happens after entering the palace is a "fight between Float Stands". When you hear the word "fight", you think of many things that come to mind, such as fistfights! All right! There are no fistfights, and there are good police officers. It seems that in the old days there were accidents and real fights, but now there are no such things. Festival fights are fought by hitting each other with Float stands. If you press a few meters, you win. There are also people who come from outside the prefecture and foreign countries just to see this. This festival is worth coming to. ◆Summary 　One of the charms of Tsunomachi is the "Tsuno Shrine Summer Grand Festival", which contains the history and the thoughts of the people who have inherited it so far. There are many similar festivals all over the country. However, each festival has its own history, charm, and scenery. Please come to the summer grand festival that the residents of Tono Town residents have created for decades.

In support of AJTA's spirit of putting in the ball, we continue our activities as one of the Village development of the Village Forest Park and Morotsuka, which revitalizes the community through interaction with urban areas. Currently, AJTA Kyushu gathers volunteers who have dreams of putting in the ball, and in addition to running the Kyushu Ball Throwing Championship (Held in every summer in Morotsuka Village), which is a step toward the national tournament, we are striving to popularize this easy and profound ball throwing competition as a recreational sport for the Village people.
