Bat Waterfall The bat waterfall in Bungo-Ono City, Oita Prefecture, is about 120 meters wide and 10 meters high. It is said that the name came from the fact that when you look at the bat waterfall from above, the shape of the cliff looks like a bat spreading its wings. You can see the whole thing from the Bat Waterfall Observation deck. It is a waterfall over the main stream of the Ono River, and in the Meiji era, in order to transport Supplies through boats on the Ono River, a water channel was built to bypass this waterfall and a gutter-like gutter like a slide to raise and lower the boat. The remains of the boatway construction are a very valuable heritage site, and it is also a designated historic site in Oita Prefecture as the "Bat Waterfall Boat Road Site". 【Place】Bungo-Ono City, Ogata Town, Kusafukano ~ Asaji Town Kamiozukama About 50 minutes by Car from Oita Mera Interchange About 12 minutes by car from JR Ogata Station * The road to the bat waterfall Observation deck is There are very narrow section, so please be careful when driving. ■■■Access to the center of Bungo-Ono 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 ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Kyushu, Oita Prefecture Bungo-Ono City Sightseeing and recommended Spots ■■■■■■■■■■■■

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.
