Nice to meet you! We are the Hokuryu Town Sunflower Tourism Association, the tourism association of Hokuryu, Hokkaido. Hokuryu, Hokkaido, lies about a two-hour drive from Sapporo and is a small town of roughly 1,600 people. Hokuryu is nationally famous for its sunflower fields, and it ranked first nationwide in the 2022 list of “Sunflower Fields You Want to Visit in Summer 2022.” Hokuryu Sunflower Village is one of Japan’s largest sunflower fields, with about two million sunflowers blooming across land roughly the size of five Tokyo Domes. During the season, about 200,000 visitors come from all over the country. From the two-story observation deck near the parking area, you can take in an endless sea of sunflowers—a perfect photo spot. Please enjoy the breathtaking panorama of yellow as far as the eye can see! The sunflowers are typically at their best from late July through mid-August, when the Sunflower Festival takes place. In 2022, attractions included a sunflower maze, a sightseeing vehicle called Sunflower号 that offered guided explanations about Hokuryu and its sunflowers, and an exhibition of rare sunflowers from around the world. While Hokuryu is known for sunflowers, you can also enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and beautiful autumn foliage. We recommend Roadside Station Sunflower Park Hokuryu Onsen for day-trip hot springs and Kompira Park for camping and outdoor barbecues. Local specialties include Hokuryu Sunflower Melon, prized for its high sugar content; the small yellow Hokuryu Himawari Suika; and Hokuryu Sunflower Oil made from locally grown sunflowers—each a perfect souvenir and a delicious treat. Alongside Hokuryu’s sunflowers, please enjoy these sightseeing spots and gourmet specialties!

[English/Japanese] The other day I had lunch at Hokkaido Soup Curry Workshop Seven West, a three-minute walk from Nishi Hachioji Station. I chose the mild curry, but it was surprisingly spicy and offered a complex blend of spices. The best part was the bone-in chicken, cooked until it fell apart at the slightest touch of chopsticks. Most of the students enrolled at our school come from Southeast Asia. Nearly every one of their countries has a version of “curry.” When I show them how to make Japanese home-style curry, they are surprised at how different it is from what they know. They are even more amazed to learn that, within Japan, there is another style called Hokkaido curry.

I ate Miyako bonito soba on Irabu Island in Miyako. I love Okinawa soba in Uchinanchu, but I'm not good at three pieces of meat and soki, so this soba was ♡ a happy combination. I like the soup lightly, but I was surprised that it was a little miso-flavored.

Found a nice little restaurant in Nishi-Nippori over the weekend. The place was called Soba Saien Tsuruya そば菜園つるや. I ended up ordering a nice katsudon set with some tasty miso soup. It's a nice little restaurant to visit if you're in the area. The owner seemed like a really nice guy and was quite friendly when he took my order.

A post by the official account of the Okinawa Prefectural Haebaru "HAEBARU / Haebaru Tourism" Introducing "[Wagyu Grilled Sushi] and [Horse Sashimi] Vending Machines"! An unusual vending machine that has become a hot topic recently. It's very convenient to be able to buy delicious meat at the vending machine!

Located in Haebaru Shinkawa, there are vending machines for [Wagyu beef broiled sushi] and [horse sashimi] in the environmental forest fureai facility. Since it is handed over frozen, it is nice to be able to carry it to your home in a cold state.

Haebaru, we will introduce vending machines. Egg vending machine ^o^ at the entrance of Churatama Poultry Farm and Castle Store Chicken eggs raised at our own poultry farm have a dark yolk color and are fresh ☆ And sweets using those eggs are also recommended! My favorite is the caramel pound cake! You can purchase from this vending machine ☆☆

I went to Shizuoka Country Hamaoka Course & Hotel. First of all, the first appetizer It is said that the white one is made of salt. Too beautiful...

[Englsih／日本語] Cafe Kojika is a 10-minute walk from Hachioji Station. The interior of Cafe Kojika is decorated in a 1970s style, so you can enjoy a meal inside an old Japanese house. Most items cost a single coin, and they were very tasty 😊 My top recommendation is the cream soda. You can have a juice made in your favorite color. Many international students want to try a homestay. However, because of the coronavirus, they have no chance to do a homestay, so I recommend this kind of old-house cafe to such students. A ten-minute walk from Hachioji Station, Cafe Kojika recreates a 1970s interior so you can dine in the atmosphere of an old Japanese home. Many menu items are priced at one coin, and the food was very good 😊 The cream soda is my number-one pick, and they will make a juice in whatever color you like. Many exchange students are eager to experience homestay life. But with the coronavirus preventing homestays, I suggest this sort of traditional house cafe to those students.

The original Stamina Ramen in Himeko-cho, Mito City. The taste is strong and the liver is large and satisfying! Moreover, the liver is so delicious that the cheeks fall off 😋.

Hachioji Ramen is a popular local ramen that Hachioji City, Tokyo is proud of. It is a light and gentle ramen based on soy sauce, and it uses chopped onions as ingredients and fat floats on the surface of the soup. Although it is made simple, it has been featured in many media, and it has become a local ramen in Tokyo, with many fans from far away as well as local Hachioji! Hachioji ramen has a long history, and more than 60 years ago, in Showa 34 1959, a certain shop that ran a delicatessen in front of Kitano Station decided to move to Koyasu Town due to relocation due to land readjustment, so I thought it would be difficult to be a delicatessen because it would be difficult to be a delicatessen. At that time, the mainstream ramen shop was a Chinese restaurant that served food delivery, so the restaurant, which specialized in ramen and tried to make a living only by selling it in-store, went through trial and error to create some characteristics. At that time, I happened to come across a ramen shop with "kizami onions" on a trip to Hokkaido. However, although the ramen I ate in Hokkaido had a good texture, the pungency of the onions could not be removed, and as a result of repeated ingenuity, I came up with the oil as a result of my devise to make a soup that somehow removed the pungent taste without spoiling the texture of the onions. The oil suppressed the pungency of the onions and enhanced the sweetness, and the prototype of today's Hachioji ramen was born.
