It is organized by local residents to promote regional revitalization and raise awareness of the Sugao rock-carved Buddha. The "Rooster Imitation Contest" is based on local legends. According to the legend, an oni (demon) that had settled in the area demanded, "Give me a village girl as a bride!" The troubled village chief consulted a monk, who told the oni, "If you carve five stone Buddhas into the cliff in one night, I will give you a daughter as a bride; if not, you must leave the village." Concerned villagers went to check at night and found the oni carving the fifth statue. They had the village's rooster imitation master imitate a rooster's crow, tricking the oni into thinking it was morning, causing it to flee. ■■ Access from Fukuoka Prefecture and Kumamoto Prefecture to the center of Bungoono City ■■■ About 3 hours by car from JR Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture About 2 hours by car from JR Kumamoto Station in Kumamoto Prefecture About 1 hour and 20 minutes by car from JR Beppu Station in Oita Prefecture About 1 hour and 20 minutes by car from JR Yufuin Station in Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Introducing tourist attractions and recommended spots in Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■

The Wind of Hokuto Pro Wrestling Blows At the end of July, a Hokuto Pro Wrestling event was held in Nishiokoppe Village. This was a continuation from last year, but the number of attendees was nearly double that of last year! During the day, the wrestlers visited the day service, and it felt like the distance between them and the villagers was greatly shortened. With their well-trained bodies, they performed stunning acts, dropping from great heights with a loud "bang!" and engaging in brawls outside the ring, making for a spectacular event. Hokuto Pro Wrestling matches not only excite the wrestlers but also draw cheers from the audience, energizing the entire venue. That’s why the spectators became increasingly engrossed in the matches, pouring their energy into their cheers and applause. The drinks and food we prepared were also purchased in abundance, proportional to the intensity of the matches.🙌 The children in the village who watched the wrestling have become fans, even making their own championship belts.🤩 Thank you to everyone who came out!

【Kuraoka Area Fishing Tournament🎣】 Today (August 15th), the Kuraoka Area Fishing Tournament was held for the first time in two years😊 It seems that a significant number of fish were released this year, and everyone was catching one after another🐟 The children were cheering each time they caught a fish, running to their parents saying, "Help me with the hook!"😆 A "Fish Catching" event for kids was also held✨ The fish swimming freely in the river posed quite a challenge for the children😂 Especially eels, which would slip away from their hands even after being caught, made it quite difficult🤣 However, some kids figured out a strategy to throw the fish and eels they caught onto the riverbank💡 Many families were seen heading home with a lot of fish, saying, "It's going to be a hassle to clean them later!"💦 Everyone is in for a feast tonight😋

【Nii Tete Boye's LIVE】 I apologize for the delay in posting, but in July, Nii Tete Boye came and performed for us! The Panlogo, a traditional instrument from Ghana in West Africa. He played it by striking the surface with his palms, and at first, I was captivated by the unique rhythm, unsure of how to move my body, watching the vivid hand movements as he struck the drum. There were several songs that allowed the audience to participate with clapping and singing, which gradually helped me understand the rhythm structure. Nii Tete Boye played the five drums effortlessly, as if the Panlogo had become a part of his body. In the middle of the LIVE, there was a special collaboration featuring a Bon song performed by Nii Tete Boye and the villagers! Their beautiful harmonies singing a challenging melody merged with the sounds of Nii Tete Boye and the bear drum. As the Bon song resonated, I felt as if I had come to a different place, experiencing a strange sensation. The performance was that captivating. That night, there was food and drink available for sale from the guesthouse GA.KOPPER! We enjoyed Jollof rice, groundnut butter soup, and chili dogs, which are beloved in West Africa 🤤 While sipping on the sweet hibiscus tea called Bissap, we had a wonderful night 🌙 #Nishiokubo Village #LIVE #Niiteteboye #Panlogo #GAKOPPER
