Itsukushima Shrine has been called "Kusuri" since ancient times, and is a shrine that protects the port town of Kushiro, which was a key point of fishing, trade, and transportation, and has been looked up to as a guardian deity by citizens who pray for the well-being of the region. The company is located in the former Kushiro Kuni Ichinomiya. Together with the hall, the seven pillar deities are enshrined. Itsukushima Shrine is located on the Shireto Misaki Plateau of Cape Tomojin, 1-chome, Yonemachi, Kushiro City, within the shrine precincts of. This neighborhood was the birthplace of Kushiro City, which was said to be a medsuri kaisho and medsuri-domari in the Edo period. Yonemachi Park, which borders the precincts, is located on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and there is Kushiro Port below, where fishing boats come and go. In addition, there is also the Ishikawa Takuboku Song Monument in the park, and Mt. Oakan and Mt. Meakan can be seen in the distance, and the history is carved out along with Itsukushima Shrine.

Three Waterfalls in Nishiokoppe Village The other day I visited one of Nishiokoppe Village’s sightseeing spots —Gyōja Falls, Akaiwa Falls, and Kuroiwa Falls. This time I’m writing about Gyōja Falls! From National Route 239 you turn onto a mountain road and the first waterfall you come to is Gyōja Falls. When I got out of the car in front of a stone plaque with some explanation on it, I could hear the cool sound of the falls! On a certain day in August, unable to bear the heat, there was said to be an adult who stood under Gyōja Falls in a T-shirt and shorts—whether true or not is another story. Next time I will introduce Akaiwa Falls.

Introducing the post of the "Higashikawa Tourism Association" COOL JAPAN VIDEOS official social media account! Higashikawa, Hokkaido is a town located in the center of Hokkaido. Natural water from melting snow is used for rice, vegetables, restaurants, and other daily water in the town. The hot springs in Daisetsuzan National Park are also one of the attractions.

What do you think this is, sitting at the entrance of the tourist information center? The answer is a sub-bituminous peat layer that forms the base of the moor hot spring. It was created by the accumulation of reeds and other plants that once grew along the Tokachigawa riverside in ancient times. Plant-based moor hot spring water wells up through this peat layer. The humic substances (humin) in the peat combined with alkalinity create a silky, mild water quality, which is why it’s called a beauty bath. Moor hot springs are also registered as a Hokkaido Heritage; please come and experience them 🥰

Introducing the events at Hakurin Park Festival! 🐟 Akiaji Catching by Hand Taiki Town thrives not only on dairy farming but also on fishing, bringing in delicious seafood year-round, with the autumn salmon standing out as its main catch.

At the Hakurin Park Festival, we will hold an Akiaji catching event for up to 100 children in elementary school or younger (planned). Distribution of participation tickets begins at 9:00 by the fountain. This event is a perennial favorite! Additionally, akiaji soup will be on sale at the venue.

***Asian Pro Wrestling in Nishiokoppe*** September 3rd. A wrestling ring suddenly appeared in the village. Wrestlers entered to battle-pumping music that stirred the crowd. It was my first time watching, and even after it ended I still didn't fully understand the rules, but I clapped along with the crowd-pleasing wrestlers, gasped as they spun through the air to land moves on their opponents, and the time flew by…! During the merchandise sale, I even saw heartwarming scenes like a wrestler posing for a photo with a child who had bought a towel. In the kitchen behind the venue, someone was making large batches of steaming rice balls for the staff's dinner, The ginger and kelp filling in the rice balls was incredibly tasty.^^ It turned into a fun and delicious event.

We are now accepting 753 visits. The plan that includes prayer and location shooting is popular. It will be necessary to coordinate the schedule with the photographer, so if you are considering it, please contact us as soon as possible.
