On May 27th, the remaining snow disappeared and I drove comfortably, and I took a picture of the sea of clouds at the highest altitude point Japan Shibutoge National Highway of the Shiga Kusatsu Kogen Route National Route 292, Japan which was closed during the winter. It is a famous spot. So I will introduce you to the secret places. There is a wide roadside strip about 1.5 km from the highest elevation point to Kusatsu. There is a small hill on the side where you park your car, and you can easily climb it. The 360-degree panorama from there is superb! The photo is aimed at the sea of clouds in the direction of Kusatsu Onsen.

"Kobe Foreign Settlement The Miracle of Building 38" Building No. 38 from the time of the foreign settlement in Chuo-ku, Kobe City, is a very retro Western-style building. The building is accessible from northeast to southwest, where a statue of Nike, the winged goddess of victory, is installed. According to the description below the statue ... Nike is the goddess of "production" and "victory" in Greek mythology, and it is said that since ancient times, it has been attached to the end of the ship as a goddess statue to pray for safe navigation and the realization of dreams. This 38th building is currently owned by the Daimaru Kobe store, but this Nike statue was installed here to pray for the recovery of not only the Kobe store but also the region, likening the building to a ship. In the morning darkness, the rising light shone in from the atrium sky, and the red bricks embedded in the surrounding floors emerged along with the statue of the goddess. Each of these red bricks has many heartfelt messages to Kobe! I feel energized when I come here, and this may 😊 be a real "hidden gem".

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce DyJyn's post. The scenery of the plateau and the flavorful colors unique to film cameras are impressive. Located in Soni Village, Uda District, Nara Prefecture, Soni Kogen is a large plateau that spreads out at the foot of Mt. Kurisoyama, which straddles Mie and Nara prefectures. The Soni Highland covered with pampas grass and the golden scenery shown in autumn are also popular as photo spots. The ears usually begin to change color in mid-September, and are in full bloom around early October ~ late November. Not only in the daytime, but also in the sunset and the scenery sparkling is not to be missed. "Soni Kogen Onsen Okame no Yu" is a popular day-trip natural hot spring that was selected as the first place in the middle Japan hot spring tour. It is located about 4 minutes by car from the Soni Highlands, so why not stop by when you visit the Soni Highlands? You can enjoy the open-air bath with panoramic views and the hot spring baths in the wooden and stone bathrooms. In addition, at the Soni Kogen Farm Garden, which is adjacent to the Soni Kogen Onsen Okame no Yu, you can buy local specialties and locally caught vegetables. We also recommend lunch at a natural restaurant and original beer at the attached beer brewery "Mugi-no-kan". The campsite "Sun Village Soji" is also popular for its well-equipped facilities. There are 11 powered lawn sites and cottages, so you can enjoy your private space. It is about 10 minutes by car from Kame-no-yu and about 90 minutes from Osaka City, making it easy to access. ◆Soni Highland◆ 【Address】〒633-1202 Nara-ken, Uda District, Soni Village Tara Road 【Access】By car: Meihan National Highway I.C., about 45 minutes via Haibara 【Parking lot】Available for 150 cars Please see the official website for details. )

Miyako Island Tourism Association
May. 25, 2023
So that you can choose Miyakojima as a travel destination that will be a memory of your lifetime, we will deliver the charm of Miyakojima through Cool Japan Video! First of all, this is my first post, so I will introduce Miyako Island and popular tourist spots. Miyakojima, located in Okinawa Prefecture, is one of the Miyako archipelago Miyakojima, Ikemajima, Ōmijima, Irabu Island, Shimojijima, Kurimajima, Tarama Island, and Minna Island of eight large and small islands located 300 kilometers southwest of the main island of Okinawa, and is a remote island with a population of about 55,000. After all, the biggest attraction of Miyako Island is the beautiful sea. The crystal clear emerald green waters are ideal for diving and snorkeling, and are visited by many people from all over the world. Miyakojima has a hot and humid subtropical maritime climate, so the average temperature is around 15°C even in winter, which is warm throughout the year. There are many popular tourist spots on Miyakojima, but the top ones in the ranking are Yonaha Maehama Beach, Painagama Beach, Sunayama Beach, Irabu Bridge, Ikema Bridge, Kurima Bridge, Snow Salt Museum, and Miyakojima Marine Park. Yonaha Maehama Beach is said to be the most beautiful beach in the East with its highly transparent sea and 7 kilometers of pure white sandy beach. There are many tours of marine sports and marine activities such as snorkeling and diving, and you can see tropical fish up close. "Painagama Beach" is known as a hidden spot loved by locals, and it is the perfect place to spend a relaxing time. In addition, "Sunayama Beach" allows you to enjoy the pure white sand dunes and the beautiful cobalt blue sea. To enjoy the clear and beautiful sea, we recommend not only the beach, but also the drive of the bridge that connects Miyako Island to neighboring islands. The Irabu Bridge is the best spot to enjoy driving on the 3,540-meter-long bridge that opened in 2015 connecting Miyakojima and Irabu Island. It is the longest Japan bridge that can be crossed for free. In addition, the "Ikema Bridge" connecting Miyakojima and Ikema Island, surrounded by the "Ikema Blue" sea characterized by a deep blue gradation, and the "Kurima Bridge" connecting Miyakojima and Kurima Island can enjoy different superb views, so we recommend renting a car and enjoying the magnificent scenery. Miyakojima is also the birthplace of the fluffy powdered salt "snow salt", and at the popular tourist spot "Snow Salt Museum", you can learn about Miyakojima's traditional salt making techniques and have hands-on exhibits. In addition, "Miyakojima Marine Park" is a facility with a 4-meter sea floor where you can observe various fish from the window. While seeing fish and beautiful coral that can only be seen here, please experience the beauty of the sea of Miyako Island! As a memory of your trip to Miyako Island, please enjoy the special products recommended as souvenirs. The fruits of Miyakojima are especially popular, and the three "mangoes", "pineapples", and "passion fruits" are especially recommended. These fruits are grown in the rich nature and blessed climate of Miyako Island, and their taste is exquisite. In addition to the sightseeing spots and specialties introduced this time, Miyako Island is still full of charm. We will continue to send out information about such attractive Miyako Island in the future, so thank you! Please make special memories just for you here on Miyako Island.

As for how to read "Shibecha", it is read as "shibechacho". The name of the town is derived from "Sipecha", which means "on the banks of a large river" in the Ainu language. With a population of 7,163 as of February 2023, Hokkaido Shibecha is located in Kawakami District, 40 kilometers northeast of the center of Kushiro City, and is the sixth largest town in Japan. It has an inland climate with hot summers and cold winters, and the annual temperature difference is larger than that of neighboring Kushiro City. The Shibecha is divided into "Tawadaira Area", "Nijibetsu area", "urban area", and "Toro and Kayanuma area". Here are some popular sightseeing spots in each area. 【Tawadaira Area】 ・Tawahei Observatory It is an observatory overlooking the 360-degree horizon. You can also enjoy camping, so it is convenient as a base for riders touring Hokkaido. ・Shibecha breeding farm Cows are raised by grazing on a vast ranch, and you can see cows and sheep playing peacefully in the surrounding area. 【Nijibetsu Area】 ・Mt. Nishibetsu It is an 800-meter-high mountain that is easy to climb even for beginners, which is visited by about 30,000 climbers a year. You can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Nekushi Plateau and precious alpine wildflowers. ・Lake Schwanbetsudam It is a popular lake for auto camping and rainbow trout fishing. You can catch large rainbow trout from summer to autumn. 【Urban Area】 ・Kushiro River Shibecha Ryokuchi Park It is a park located on the riverbed about 10 minutes on foot from JR Shibecha Station, and there is a park golf and event square, making it a spot that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. 【Toro / Kayanuma Area】 ・Shibecha Museum "Nitai To" It exhibits the history of Shibecha from the Jomon period to the modern era and natural materials such as insect specimens. In Shibecha, you can also enjoy leisure activities such as canoeing on the Kushiro River, smelt fishing on Lake Toro, lure and fly fishing on the Kushiro River, and cycling on the promenade of the Kushiro Marshland. There are plenty of accommodations, hot spring inns, and hotels, so please spend one day enjoying these sightseeing spots and leisure to the fullest! Access to the Shibecha is about 1 hour by train from Kushiro Station. Between Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station, you can also come to Shibecha on Japan's slowest train "Marsh Norokko-go" that runs slowly and leisurely during the summer, and the "SL Winter Marsh" that runs through the Shirogane Kushiro Marshland from January to March. We will continue to send out attractive Shibecha information, so thank you!

Bibai Tourism and Products Association.

"Bibai City, Hokkaido" is visited by many tourists for its abundant nature, mild climate, and delicious food.
From now on, I would like to introduce the charm of Bibai City in COOL JAPAN VIDEOS!

First of all, Bibai City is read as "Bibaishi" and is located between Sapporo City and Asahikawa City, and is located within about one hour from both cities.
Bibai City is served by National Route 12 connecting Sapporo and Asahikawa, and the section from Bibai City to Takikawa City is a straight road that continues all the way, and there is a road that boasts the longest straight-line distance in Japan.

As for the weather and climate of Bibai City, a refreshing breeze blows through in spring, a cool climate continues in summer, and beautiful snowscapes spread out in winter.
You can enjoy the atmosphere of the four seasons, and the beauty of each season brings new discoveries every time you visit.

Introducing popular tourist spots in Bibai City!
First of all, Miyajima Swamp is one of the world's leading spots where you can see migratory birds such as geese and swans. It is located about 30 minutes by bus from JR Bibai Station, and every year about 70,000 birds come from Russia far north of Hokkaido in spring and autumn. Especially in the early morning and evening, when you can see the herd, the sight of the sky and swamps filled in black is a masterpiece.

In addition, the "Coal Mine Memorial Forest Park" is a tourist attraction not to be missed.
Bibai City once flourished from coal mining. In this park, which was built on the site of the former coal mine, you can see a tower that transports coal from deep underground, and a raw coal pocket for storing coal.
As a valuable tourist spot where the memories of the coal miners of the past coexist with the nature of the present, it was 2007 Heisei 19 selected as an "Industrial Heritage of Modernization".

Next is "KAN YASUDA SCULPTURE MUSEUM ARTE PIAZZA BIBAI".
The works of world-renowned sculptor Kan Yasuda are exhibited here.
His works blend in with the surrounding landscape, as if they were one with nature, providing peace and emotion to visitors.

At Tomei Park, a vast park located in a hilly area, 2,000 cherry trees bloom during the cherry blossom season, and the "Bibai Cherry Blossom Festival" is held, and it is a popular tourist spot where you can enjoy the illuminated cherry blossoms at night.

And at the "Bibai City Experience Exchange Center", even first-time visitors can easily experience pottery such as pottery and painting, and can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

The last thing I would like to introduce is "Sorachi Shrine".
This shrine is watched over by an old tree that is over 900 years old, and you can experience "making bangle protection" from natural stone.

On your trip to Bibai City, please enjoy delicious meals.
In particular, Bibai City's "Bibai Yakitori" is a local gourmet that you can't miss.
It is one of the seven major yakitori in Japan, and is made by skewering chicken, chicken liver, inner eggs, gizzards, and onions.
As a local soul food, it is a popular gourmet for a wide range of generations from children to adults. Please try it when you come to Bibai.

And "Torimeshi"
It is a local dish that has been passed down for more than 100 years, and because rice, stir-fried meat, and motsu are cooked with soy sauce, sugar, and sake, and almost no other ingredients or seasonings are used, the aroma and taste have a strong chicken flavor, and it has a taste different from other mixed rice.

We look forward to welcoming you with rich natural scenery, sightseeing spots where you can feel history and culture, delicious food, and warm hospitality!
Stay tuned for future posts!

Hamanaka Town Tourism Association
May. 21, 2023
Nice to meet you all! Hamanaka Town is the Tourism Association! Since this is my first post, I would like to introduce myself to the Hamanaka Town. Hamanaka Town is a small town with a population of 5300 in the Akkeshi of Hokkaido. Hokkaido Hamanaka Town is a place full of charm where nature, climate, culture, food, and the warmth of the people envelop all visitors. The average annual temperature in Hamanaka Town is 5.5°C, making it one of the coldest regions in Japan. The cold wind carried by the cold current brings the unique climate and weather of the four seasons of Hamanaka Town. Designated as the sixth quasi-national park in Hokkaido in March 2021, Akkeshi Kiritappu Kombumori Quasi-National Park has two large wetlands, Bekanbeushi Wetland and Kiritappu Wetland. Although Kiritappu Wetland is a low-lying area of less than 3 meters above sea level, it is a valuable tourist spot where you can see alpine plants due to the wetland environment, and many people visit it. We hope you will enjoy the magnificent scenery in each season, such as the snowy scenery created by the harsh cold of winter and the about 300 kinds of flowers that bloom from spring to autumn! Hamanaka Town is the birthplace of Monkey Punch, the original author of "Lupin the Third," and has been revitalizing the town featuring "Lupin the Third" for more than 10 years. Lupin III wrapping buses, wrapping trains, and wrapping hire cars run throughout the city, signs of Lupin and Inspector Zenigata are installed at the station, and Monkey Punch's work room is reproduced in the Monkey Punch Collection at the Hamanaka Town Cultural Center, and there are many exhibits where you can fully experience the world of Lupin the Third. At "Kiritappu Onsen Yuyu", there is also a sale of original goods of Lupin the Third that can only be obtained here, so it is recommended as a souvenir. Surrounded by nature Hamanaka Town there are many popular scenic sightseeing spots. "Biwase Observatory" is a spot where you can overlook the rich nature of the Hamanaka Town and has a breathtaking view. Cape Azeti is located at the western end of the Kiritappu Peninsula and gives you a sense of the grandeur of nature. Cape Kiritappu is located in the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean. Wild sea otters live in the surrounding area, and if you're lucky, you can even see them from the promenade leading to the tip of the cape. In addition, there are campsites and relaxation places, and camping with a superb view overlooking the magnificent sea is popular. When you visit Hamanaka Town, enjoy fresh seafood and popular gourmet food.
