Sorachi Shrine Even on a strong midsummer sun, this place is surrounded by trees and has a lot of shade, so it always cools down a little. The tradition and atmosphere that have been passed down from ancient times are a place where you can calm your mind somewhere at the "Sorachi Shrine" in the center of Bibai. The Tunda Artillery Corps was deployed in Meiji 24, and the shrine was established at the same time as the opening of the village due to the migration of the Tunda Cavalry and the special training corps of engineers. After that, a shrine was built, renamed, relocated, etc., and has continued to the present.

That is the "bracelet protection making experience". While learning explanations and how to make them from the priest, you can think and design by yourself, and make each one with your own hands. After making it, we moved to the temple and prayed before the gods. You can spend a very precious time. * The bracelet protection making experience requires a reservation. Another initiative I would like to introduce is hydrangea. Local volunteers and organizations are taking the lead in planting trees on the promenade next to Sorachi Shrine to increase the number of famous places in Bibai. It will be a few years before the whole thing is in full bloom, but when it is in full bloom, I would like to introduce it in detail again. If you are a little tired of daily life or want to experience the traditions of Japan, please come to Sorachi Shrine if you stop by Bibai.

Toming Park In the northernmost Yoshino cherry colony, Bibai City Tomei Park, about 2,000 cherry trees such as Yoshino cherry blossoms, Ezoyama cherry blossoms, Chishima cherry blossoms, and Yaezakura trees welcome you. There are various cherry blossoms in the park that bloom at different times, making it a spot where you can enjoy cherry blossoms for a long time. There is also a rare cherry blossom with a single red line on the petals, making it a space where you can be enveloped in various cherry blossom colors and scents. About 2,000 cherry blossoms and 5,000 azaleas bloom in the park in spring, and the lotus in the pond has cute flowers in summer, and in autumn it is a spot for autumn leaves, showing the expressions of each of the four seasons and delighting visitors. Tomei Park was opened in September 1963 as a place of relaxation for citizens. In Showa 43, 200 cherry trees were planted to make it a famous place for cherry blossoms. Since then, various organizations have planted cherry blossoms, azaleas, maples, etc., and their flowers are still blooming beautifully. In addition, I find it even more attractive to see Yoshino Somei living hard even in the harsh environment of the northernmost limit. In the past, Tomei Park, which became famous as the place where the cherry blossoms bloom at the end of the song "Sakura" sung by singer Naotaro Moriyama in the recording of a TV program, is located in the hilly area of Tomei, Bibai City, and is crowded with many visitors from outside the city every year during the cherry blossom season.

Arrangement Currently, you can eat torimeshi at several restaurants such as drive-ins and restaurants in Bibai City, but even if the general method of cooking chicken and rice together is the same, the seasoning and detailed recipe are different. Its roots come from the fact that farmers who settled in the reclamation of Hokkaido raised chickens to supplement their livelihood and began to use the precious chickens as hospitality dishes. Rice, stir-fried meat, and motsu are cooked with soy sauce, sugar, and sake, and the rice crumbs soaked in the extract shine a glossy candy color. Because it uses almost no other ingredients or seasonings, it has a strong chicken flavor in both aroma and taste, and has a unique personality that is different from other mixed rice. In Nakamura-cho, a rural village located along the Ishikari River in Bibai City, farmers' mothers continue to inherit this tradition and continue to cook traditional torimeshi without additives every morning in order to protect and spread the local taste. Torimeshi, which has become a staple for Bibai residents, is sold not only at homes but also at several restaurants and supermarkets in the city, and it is one of the pleasures to compare the flavors of the local area.

The origin of the name "Jinsennuma" is said to have spread because Toyomatsu Shimoda, the founder of the Boy Scouts in Japan, was very impressed when he visited Kansennuma and felt that "it is a place where everyone lives gods and hermits." The expression changes with the change of seasons, such as autumn leaves and fresh greenery, and the blooming of "Ezo daylily" and "cottonwood" has a charm that makes you want to visit again and again. ・Onuma It is a swamp 850 meters above sea level surrounded by the mountain "Weisshorn" that straddles the towns of Kutchan and Kyowa, and the "Nitonupuri" that straddles the towns of Kutchan and Rankoshi.

HELLO TO EVERYONE WHO WATCHES COOL JAPAN VIDEOS! This is Moseushi Town, Hokkaido. Hokkaido Uryu DistrictMoseushi Town is located almost in the center of Hokkaido and is blessed with clean water from the Ishikari River system, and is a town that has prospered in rice cultivation. It is the third smallest town in Hokkaido by area, but it is full of various charms. This will be my first posting, so I will introduce Moseushi Town and provide information on popular tourist spots and specialties! The climate (weather) of Moseushi Town in Hokkaido is an inland climate, so it can be about 30 degrees Celsius in summer and minus 20 degrees Celsius or less in winter. The snow melts around April in an average year. Please refer to it as a measure to protect yourself from the cold when traveling. Hokkaido's Moseushi Town has a wide range of delicious gourmet dishes made with local ingredients. Next, we will deliver information on special products! The best specialty of Moseushi Town in Hokkaido is delicious rice! The "secret of its deliciousness" lies in the method of rice cultivation. In Moseushi Town, "apple mint", a type of herb, is planted on the furrow path of the rice field. Since the insect repellent effect of herbs protects rice ears from pests, the use of pesticides is minimized, and low-pesticide rice cultivation can be realized. "Kitasaika" is one of the rice made by such low-pesticide rice cultivation. "Premium Kitasaika", which is vacuum-packed "Nanatsuboshi" (Hokkaido brand rice) with a protein value of 6.8% or less, which is only 30% of the total harvest produced in Moseushi Town, is also recommended! In addition, apple mint is harvested and used as an ingredient in specialty products such as "From the Village of Herbs (herbal liqueur)" and "100% natural herbal water". The special products introduced are also delivered as a thank you gift for the Furusato Nozei tax payment in Moseushi Town, Hokkaido.

It is a spot where you can experience the "roundness of the earth".

There are three types of touch pools, where you can touch sharks, rays, horseshoe crabs, etc. In addition, the "Goldfish Kaleidoscope", which has been permanently installed since 2017, is a must-see! Mirrors surround the hemispherical tank with a diameter of 100 cm in the main tank, and you can enjoy goldfish viewing in a kaleidoscope-like space. In addition, eight sub-tanks have been installed. The "Aqua Tunnel (Tunnel Water Tank)" on the first floor is also one of the highlights! The cold and warm currents are reproduced in two tunnels, and you can have a valuable experience looking up at the creatures from below. The dolphin pool in NOBORIBETSU MARINE PARK NIXE is an all-weather pool, so you can see dolphin shows all year round! There will be performances not only of dolphins, but also of sea lions and fur seals! For the time of each performance, please check the "Attraction Schedule" on the official website. At the "Milkyway Pool" in the basement of the sea lion pool, as the name suggests, you can admire a large flock of 10,000 sparkling sardines. In addition, during feeding time, there is a "sardines performance" that collaborates with light and sound. (Twice a day) A flock of sardines undulates and you can enjoy a fantastic sight! The "Penguin Parade" where the penguins of the Penguin Museum march through the park is a popular event! It is held throughout the year. Don't miss the chance to see the cute king penguins, Cape penguins, and gentoo penguins up close! In the outdoor ring pool, you can admire the seal! There is a cavity in the middle of the pool, and it is also called a zenigata aquarium because it resembles the old "sen". It is a mysterious pool full of floating sensation where seal swim smoothly in the ring. After the aquarium, please enjoy the amusement park "Nixland".
