A year-round scenic paradise: “Coral Eden”! The sea around Nobeoka City stays warm and clear thanks to the Kuroshio Current, making it easy to observe underwater life where about 100 species of coral thrive. An underwater park featuring seabed caves, colorful soft corals, and one of Japan’s largest Pavona (Osuribachi) coral colonies is famous as a top-class diving spot. With a drysuit, you can enjoy this marine paradise throughout autumn and winter. Snorkeling, which is easier than diving, also lets you get up close to colorful fish. The calm waters and shallow areas make coral and tropical fish feel within reach, so beginners and children can join with confidence 😊 The NPO Himuka Sensation Experience World, commonly known as Nobe☆Sta, brings together specialists who use Nobeoka City’s outstanding mountain, river, and sea potential—the best in Kyushu—to guide visitors through authentic, moving outdoor experiences across a range of fields. ※Inquiries regarding diving and snorkeling NPO Himuka Sensation Experience World (Phone) 0982-29-3835 (Closed) Tuesdays

Sugao Stone Buddha Fire Festival This festival takes place in August in Mie Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. Organized mainly by local residents, it is not large in scale but offers a warm, heartfelt atmosphere. The festival begins with Shinto and Buddhist rites. According to legend, the Sugao cliff-carved Buddha statues were carved by an oni (demon), and to thank the oni everyone invites an oni to appear at the festival, where the organizers present it with a letter of appreciation. In the rooster-crowing imitation contest inspired by the legend, participants perform their own impersonations of a rooster’s crow, filling the venue with smiles. On stage, the vigorous drumming of Toyukai and traditional kagura dances take place. In the latter half of the festival, a torch-throwing ritual called 松明投げ (taimatsu-nage) lights a roughly 3-meter-tall pillar pine by tossing burning torches up into it from below, and many children take on the challenge. ■■■ What the Sugao Stone Buddha Fire Festival Is Local residents hold the festival to revitalize the area and raise awareness of the Sugao cliff-carved Buddhas. The rooster-crowing imitation contest stems from a local legend. In the tale, an oni that settled in the area caused trouble and demanded, “Give me the village maiden as my bride!” The troubled village headman consulted a monk, who told the oni, “If you carve five stone Buddhas into the cliff in one night, you may take the girl as your bride; if you fail, leave the village.” Worried villagers checked at night and found the oni carving the fifth statue. They had the village’s rooster imitation expert mimic a rooster’s crow, tricking the oni into thinking morning had arrived, whereupon it fled.

It is an event held at shrines in various places on June 30 every year, an event to exorcise the defilement of half a year and pass through the circle of thatch while wishing for good health for the remaining six months. Here, at the mountain shrine in Shirahama Towns, the Shinto priest passes through the thatch circle three times with the Ujiko (shrine parishioners), wishing for everyone's health.

In search of coolness. A fountain in the shape of a screw on Kobe Port Island. A hot summer time in the shade and idly watching the fountain dance.

There were many summer wind chimes in Kotosaka Hachimangu, Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. When I listen to the sound of wind chimes, I feel like it's summer in Japan and I'm excited!

Summer festival! I went to a summer festival with my friends with a film camera, and I took pictures of the goldfish in the goldfish scoop because they were very vivid and swimming many.

Photographed 8/23/24. It is a yo-yo fortune of Kawagoe Hachimangu. It seems that it is limited to summer visits. Trains stopped due to heavy rain, which was difficult. ☔️

I went to the Domon Festival in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The lanterns that stretched all the way to the back of the road were very fantastic The lantern with the word "Domon" written on it is very large and powerful!

"Summer Shrine" As you walk along the path overgrown with green trees, a vermilion shrine appears in front of you. The voices of cicadas echo through the trees, and the sunlight gently illuminates the ground. Along with the sound of leaves swaying in the wind, my heart is quietly filled.

Local eels are hard to eat. Every summer, when I returned to Shizuoka, I used to eat this eel with my parents. But this summer, we couldn't eat eel together. Every day is filled with sadness, but when I see this eel, I remember the summer with my parents and feel energized.

【A small trip around submarine volcanoes and Coast vegetation to Benten Island】 　In the western and southern parts of the Izu Peninsula, the ejecta of ancient submarine volcanoes is widely distributed. After a long period of submarine volcanoes, the whole of Izu was subjected to uplift and erosion, allowing us to see firsthand the inner structure of the volcano, which should have been buried underground. 　If you walk a short distance from here towards the sea, you will There are a small mountain called Bentenjima. Originally, it was an island called Ancient Island (Sea Bream Island), but it was connected to the land by estuary construction in 1957. 　Walking along the promenade of about 200 meters around the island, you will notice that the rocky area is a collection of many angular rocks. When lava streams down the ocean floor during a submarine eruption, the lava is rapidly cooled by water and breaks into pieces. Scene how a glass cup containing a hot drink breaks when dipped in cold water. What is formed in this way is called "cooling fracturing lava", and it is evidence that lava streams through the water. 　The forest of Ubamegashi that grows naturally in the rocky area is also one of the highlights of Benten Island.
