Minami Furano, Shintoku, Shikaoi
I made a pamphlet in three neighboring towns 📕

In the middle of Hokkaido, we introduce delicious Gourmet food made with good trees, good water, good snow, the blessings of nature, and a variety of activities experiences.

This pamphlet is not only packed with the charm of the three towns on National Route 38 and 274,
Each town is color-coded and easy to see.
You can catch detailed Information by searching with the QR code on the page.

The colors of each of the three towns are...
Minamifurano Town - "Swaying lavender🪻 of Lake Kanayama"
Shintoku Town – "The deep blues🫐 of Lake Sahoro"
Shikaoi Town - "Transparent Aqua Marine 💚 of Lake Shirabetsu"

The overall use of gentle colors and the matte and elegant paper texture make it a pamphlet that you can feel Commitment.
As digitization progresses, it is a retrograde paper pamphlet, but I would like you to pick it up once and turn the page.
(Personally, I would like 💡 you to pay attention to the sound of turning the page.)

It seems unusual for neighboring towns to have a joint pamphlet.
So when you come to the Roadside Station or the Tourism Association Window, please pick it up, look at it, and touch it!

We look forward to seeing you💁 ‍♀️

I took a picture of the love between parents and children at Toki Park in Sado.

On the way home as usual. When I was tired of the hot weather until the evening, I changed my perspective and saw such a beautiful scenery. It was a moment when I could forget about the heat, and I was happy to see that it seemed to be a "different scenery" because it was made up of "things that are always there" such as buildings, rivers, street trees, and white clover.

[The ice tunnel is open again this year! ] 】
I wonder if it was so hot in June.
June, which is getting hotter every year, has passed all at once, and the opening day of the ice tunnel is just around the corner.

On July 5, 2025, hydrangea deadheading took place around Fukkoji Temple in Asaji Town, Bungo-Ono, Oita Prefecture.
About 50 people took part and removed spent hydrangea blooms from the temple grounds and nearby areas.
In about two hours, the precincts were transformed into a sea of green.

Thank you to everyone who participated.
May beautiful hydrangeas bloom again next year.

❚ About Fukkoji Temple
The bas-relief Buddhist statue carved into the rock on the temple grounds, including its pedestal, reaches roughly 11 meters in height and ranks among Japan’s largest rock-carved Buddhas. The enormous central figure is Fudo Myoo (the Immovable Wisdom King). Fudo Myoo typically appears in a wrathful form, but years of wind and rain have softened the features of this carving into a rounder, gentler expression. Though large in scale, the figure has a very approachable presence.
Fukkoji is also known as “Hydrangea Temple” for the many hydrangeas planted there. During the rainy season, visitors can enjoy abundant hydrangea blooms alongside the rock-carved Buddha.
The hydrangeas are cared for by the temple and local community.

■■■ Access to central Bungo-Ono City ■■■
About a three-hour drive from JR Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture
About a two-hour drive from JR Kumamoto Station in Kumamoto Prefecture
About a one hour 20 minute drive from JR Beppu Station in Oita Prefecture

In my previous post, I told you that Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture has many historical sites and traditions related to the "Minamoto Hei Battle".
This time, I would like to introduce the second installment, "The Legend of the Five-Colored Princess".

A 15-minute walk from JR Iyo Station towards the sea, there is Thereare "Goshikihime Seaside Park" with a tropical mood lined with palm trees.
In the summer, the beach is crowded with Beachgoers, and a national beach volleyball high school girls' tournament is held every year. Also, in autumn, you can enjoy "Kangetsu Imotaki" in the park.

The area around such a seaside park has been called "Goshikihama" for a long time. A sad legend has been preserved on this name.

Five princesses of the Heike family who were defeated in the Battle of Minamoto and lived in hiding on the beach of Iyo City. One day, Sister Princess sees Aka Squid Ni and remembers the red flag color of the Heike family, which causes her to hold a grudge against Minamoto.

Sister Princess orders her sisters to look for the white Squid Squid, the color of Minamoto's flag, as if it were an enemy of the inn and killed the enemy, but no matter how many days they searched, they could not find the white Squid Ni. The exhausted sisters smear the crab with white powder and give it to the sister princess, but it is soon found out that it is a lie, and the youngest sister is cut by the enraged sister princess.

The grieving sisters throw themselves into the sea, and the remaining sister and princess soon throw herself into the sea with the death of her youngest sister in her arms. The five princesses who died in this way turned into stones of five colors, red, white, green, yellow, and black, and washed up on the beach, so this beach came to be called "Goshikihama".

When it was Maintenance in 1996 (Heisei 8) as "Goshikihime Seaside Park", a "crab square" with five colored stones installed after the legend was established.

In addition, the women's festival "Goshikihime Easter" is Held in every year on the fourth Sunday of March, in reference to the story that when the tears of the people of the land who pity the princesses and wish to come back to life fall on the five-colored stones, the princesses were resurrected from beyond the sea.

There is also a famous confectionery called "Five-Colored Negai Stone" that has been certified as a "more and more Iyoshi brand". The legendary five-colored stone is represented by red beans, green peas, white green beans, sweet corn, and chestnuts. They are wrapped in domestic red beans that have been slowly simmered and soaked in honey. Squid for Souvenirs.

Summer in Japan is very hot, and it is quaint to visit the riverbed to escape the summer.
