📍 Susoaidaira|Hokkaido, Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group

A superb view of flowers with a short life that can only be seen in summer. When you start walking from the pond, you will feel as if you have wandered into a flower garden in the sky.

At the foot of Mt. Asahidake, where more than 1,600 Meter Elevation remains of snow, alpine plants such as chinguruma bloom all over the place.
It was 🌿 a quiet and gentle time that made my heart suddenly lighten

👉 This is a photo I took yesterday. It was truly breathtaking.

A truly dynamic playground in the Chugoku region!
Enjoy creek play for free in the great outdoors
Here are summer-recommended spots😊

This is Enokawa Canoe Park Sakugi in Sakugi, Miyoshi City.
Besides canoeing, the park offers creek play in summer, a campground,
cottage stays, bathing facilities, and a restaurant.

Unlike pools, you can meet small creatures
and plunge into cold river water in this popular area.
Why not enjoy Miyoshi’s summer with your whole body?✨

Opening period: June 1 to the end of September
The water play zone is available at any time during this period.
Some days may be closed due to rising water levels. For availability
check the official website of Enokawa Canoe Park Sakugi.

●Water slide
This hugely popular slide uses naturally cold creek water!
You can borrow a board to slide on for free😊
*Water depth: 120 cm*

During busy times, handing out boards may take time,
so we recommend bringing your own float ring.

●Creek pool
For small children, the creek pool that collects creek water
is recommended. It is located very close to the water slide.
*Maximum water depth: 60 cm*

●Creek walking
Stroll upstream with an instructor.
Wearing a life jacket and helmet, you will experience the natural creek
with your whole body—wading to shoulder depth, feeling fish slip past your feet,
and enjoying a summer-long adventure✨
(Paid activity, reservation required. Date to be arranged.)

There are also areas suitable for small children, such as
zigzag channels and stepped pools.
Life jackets are available for rent for a fee, so please use them.😊

--------------------Safety notes for creek play ⚠-------------------
➤There are no lifeguards at the slide or creek play areas.
➤The slide and creek are very slippery.
Please do not take your eyes off your children.
➤Be mindful of insects and animals when entering the river or bushes.
➤Please refrain from setting up tents or tarps around the water slide.
(Simple sun shades are OK.)

Today (July 10) I covered a hop harvest 😆

It was my first time seeing this year’s hop field... and it was spectacular✨✨

Straight-reaching vines, healthy dark green leaves, and clusters of hops hanging like little bells…!!

“It’s a shame this view will be gone after today!” I said as I gazed with the grower 👀

With preparations complete, it was time to harvest 💪
There were so many cones that even removing the supporting wires was a struggle 💦

We filled bags with the harvested hops, and I worried they might not all fit on the truck we were loading back with today 😂

These hops will be processed into beer with a fresh, lively aroma 🍺

I tasted last year’s brew too — it had a refreshing scent and went down easy 😆👍

I can’t wait to try this year’s beer 😍

Hello, this is Ryusui-do. This year, wind chimes with a cool, clear tone have been hung in the Takiue Area along the path to Senga Falls!
Wind chimes that turn a breeze into sound are said to have a relaxing, soothing effect.
Please let the sound of the wind chimes, the roar of the falls, and the rich nature of Shosenkyo Gorge heal your daily fatigue in the Takiue Area!

💎July Birthstones💎

Ruby
Long beloved around the world, the queen of gemstones, ruby, symbolizes passion, love, victory, and beauty. It is said to enhance the wearer’s charm and boost confidence.

Sphene
Success · Good fortune · Connections
A stone that helps the owner’s talents bloom and leads to success—‘a stone that can change your life’.

We also offer a variety of other natural stones and accessories, so please stop by to experience the healing space woven by natural stones and the sound of the falls.

We look forward to the day we can see your lovely smiles.

Hydrangea in the hemp cotton field (photographed on July 10)
It's in full bloom.

Notice of the End of the After Hydrangea Festival
The hydrangeas floated in the tanks around the monument at Izukyu Shimoda Station rotary were well received by many visitors, and for a brief while everyone could enjoy a beautiful sight 💐✨

Although the display was originally scheduled to run until Tuesday, July 16, we decided to remove the flowers on the evening of Friday, July 11 due to consecutive days of extreme heat.
This being the first attempt at this exhibition, we conducted the trial under three challenging conditions—hydrangeas past their peak in the garden, near-summer temperatures, and water—while worrying how long the blossoms could remain beautiful. We implemented all possible measures, including rotating flowers and topping up the tanks, but under the midsummer-like sun it proved difficult to preserve their beauty, so we made the decision to end the display earlier than planned.
We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to it and ask for your understanding.

Next fun thing in Shimoda: swimming at the beach 🏖️
Please continue to enjoy everything Shimoda has to offer 🌊🍧🎐

[Recommended Power Spot in Miyoshi ✨]
This is Shina Falls in Kisa, Miyoshi City.
The three waterfalls known as Shina Falls lie within a 1.5 km gorge stretching from Kisa to Konu.

A well-maintained, gentle walking trail leads you to the largest fall, Ichi no Taki, which drops about 11 m. (Photo)
You can spot many wild animals and plants here.

Besides the three main falls, small cascades appear here and there,
so you can fully enjoy the great outdoors 😊

*From Ni no Taki to San no Taki you sometimes have to climb the streambed and cross the river using ropes.
Make sure you have proper gear, and watch out for snakes 🐍.*

Where are your favorite power spots in Miyoshi?

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Sakuho Town and Koumicho booths!

We introduced 🌲✨ plenty of the charms of Shinshu's Nature, such as the high-Elevation Shirakoma Pond, the mysterious moss forest where moss spreads, and the Yachiho Highlands where you can enjoy Seasonal Nature

I was 😊🤍 happy to pick up delicious Local Specialty and tourist brochures

At Manabe Garden in Obihiro, hydrangeas are beginning to bloom little by little.

At the garden entrance, a gnome-like fairy known in Europe as a guardian of the garden welcomes visitors.

A film set from the morning drama series Natsuzora is also on display beside the entrance and next to the café on the lawn terrace.

After strolling through the garden, why not enjoy lunch or a cold sweet at the café?

The sweets menu includes three parfaits—the ice brulee parfait, the Strawberry Green Garden parfait, a coffee jelly parfait—as well as soft-serve ice cream. This time I had the ice brulee parfait—what a blissful moment.

It has been hot every day, so please enjoy summer sightseeing while staying hydrated.

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 ■■■

Hello, this is En'emon Folklore Museum. July has arrived and the hot days continue, but Shosenkyo Gorge still feels a little cool.
While the sea’s chill is nice for summer vacation, it’s also a great season to soothe yourself in the mountains with a forest bath, listening to birdsong and relaxing among the green.

Yamanashi has no sea, but the museum holds stones as beautiful as the ocean.
Larimar is one of the three major healing stones, symbolizing love and peace, and it’s perfect for anyone seeking comfort and healing.
Also, Shosenkyo is famous for its quartz, which used to be called a fossil of ice because it feels cool to the touch.
It looks refreshing too, so come and touch it~♪
