Hello😊, this is the main building of Yamanashi Wine Kingdom🍷. The temperature is rising, and we are experiencing hot days that make us forget about the rainy season☀️. How is everyone doing? When we think of Shosenkyo, we naturally think of Senga Falls✨. The area near the waterfall is refreshingly cool, making it a perfect healing spot for the hot season🌿. Why not spend some relaxing time enjoying the beautiful scenery, pleasant sounds of water, and negative ions?😊 In the garden of Yamanashi Wine Kingdom, the lavender is in full bloom🪻. The gentle fragrance and the purple flowers swaying in the wind create a unique seasonal landscape✨. When you visit Shosenkyo, please make sure to stop by Yamanashi Wine Kingdom as well😊. Additionally, sparkling wine is highly recommended for the hot season🍾✨. Its refreshing bubbles and crisp flavor make it the perfect choice for summer, helping you forget the heat. We have several types of sparkling wine available in-store, so please find your favorite and enjoy a refreshing moment🍷🌿. All of us are looking forward to your visit😊.

Good morning! As of 10 AM on July 7th, the temperature is 17.6℃. Some people might feel a bit chilly, but in recent years, it's not uncommon for Tomakomai to exceed 30℃. It used to be known for its coolness even in summer, making me feel like I've gone back in time. By the way, did you know there's an area in front of the Tomakomai Chūō Library where plants native to Tomakomai are planted?🌿 You can also see the "Yachiyanagi" used in Tomakomai's craft beer "Kamuy Geiru Retara"!🍺

Deaibashi and Todorokibashi ❚ Oita Bungoono Geopark Located in Kiyokawamachi, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, are Deaibashi and Todorokibashi. This area boasts the largest and second-largest arch spans of stone bridges in Japan, making it a very precious location. Todorokibashi measures 32.1 meters, making it the largest in Japan, while Deaibashi measures 29.3 meters, ranking second. Deaibashi was completed in 1924, built by the local residents as an important road connecting the community. Todorokibashi was completed in 1934, historically constructed as a bridge for a forest railway transporting timber. Furthermore, these two bridges have been recognized as Civil Engineering Heritage by the Japan Society of Civil Engineers for the fiscal year 2025, drawing renewed attention as historically valuable landscapes. You can drive close to the area, and Todorokibashi is still used as a road bridge. In contrast, Deaibashi is a pedestrian bridge, allowing visitors to enjoy its unique charm on foot. The Okudake River flowing beneath the bridge and the surrounding columnar jointing landscape are also appealing features. A place where you can encounter the beauty of both history and nature.

Hoshino Resort Tomamu is home to Unkai Terrace. As a popular tourist spot, it attracts travelers from all over the country and the world during the summer vacation period. Until last year, it was common to see long lines starting from midnight in front of the lift station, and even after the gondola service began, people often had to wait over an hour to board. This season, the gondola has switched to a reservation system starting from the evening before, allowing guests to ride with almost no waiting time, making it significantly easier. However, since the sea of clouds is a natural phenomenon, you won't know if you can see it unless you actually go to the site at dawn. That's why the excitement when the sea of clouds is visible is so profound; everyone getting off the gondola was expressing their amazement. At this terrace, located over 1,000 meters above sea level, the temperature is about 6°C lower than at sea level. It gets quite chilly in the early morning, so dressing warmly is essential.
