Introducing popular sightseeing spots in Kanagawa Prefecture! Azumayama Park A scenic park famous for its early-blooming rape blossoms Azumayama Park in Ninomiya Town offers sweeping views of Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay. From January through February, about 60,000 early-blooming rape blossoms come into full bloom, covering the slopes near the summit in a yellow carpet. It’s a short 20-minute hike to the summit. There are several routes, but first-timers should try the Yakubaguchi Course, the closest route from Ninomiya Station. The shaded paths feel pleasant, and you can picnic on the grassy summit plaza while enjoying a peaceful atmosphere. The park’s famous 102-meter-long slide is a hit with children! In late March it becomes a spectacular coaster running through a tunnel of fully bloomed cherry trees. The park also offers seasonal displays of azaleas, hydrangeas, cosmos, and other blooms. Basic Information Address: Ninomiya, Naka District, Ninomiya Town, Kanagawa Prefecture Phone: 0463-72-3611 Access: About a 5-minute walk from the North Exit of JR Ninomiya Station

It is a naked island located in Asamushi, Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture. There is a legend here. A long time ago, in a village in the Asamushi district, a mother worked in the fields with her baby lying in the shade of a tree. At that moment, a great eagle flew out of nowhere and flew away with the sleeping baby. The kidnapped baby was lowered to the top of the bare island, where the great hawk rested its wings. Noticing this, the mother went into a frenzy and tried to climb the rocks of the bare island with her bare hands. It is said that when he desperately scratched the rock face, the bare island, which was a smooth rock, was chipped on the side and stained with his mother's blood, giving it its current shape. It's not a flattering story, but ... However, there is no eerie atmosphere at all, and as the name "Naked Island" suggests, it is an impressive place with exposed rock surfaces. Only the island is orange because it picks up the light of nearby street lamps.
