Photographed from near the boat racetrack near the Hakata Port Tower in Fukuoka. The feeling of the sky and the sky during the transition into the evening are indescribably wonderful. It became a scenery. Today I would like to write about the area around Hakata Port Tower. Hakata Port Tower is one of the symbols of Fukuoka City and is 123 meters high. From the observation deck of the tower, you can enjoy views of Hakata Bay and Fukuoka City. At night, the tower is lit up and very beautiful. There are many other attractions around Hakata Port Tower. For example, at the Hakata Port International Terminal, you can see international cruise ships arriving and departing. In addition, the Hakata Port Bridge is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Japan and is open to bicycles and pedestrians. From the Hakata Port Bridge, the contrast between the tower, the sea and the city can be seen beautifully. The area around Hakata Port Tower is a place where you can feel the charm of Fukuoka City. Please visit once!

In the forest on the ridge of Rokko, I found a secret place where a mysterious anecdote between Mr. Groom and a fox with a white tail remains. This is a place called Mikuniike on Mt. Rokko, which has flourished as a villa area since the Meiji era. I knew from the map that there was a villa of Arthur Hesketh Groom, a trader who came to Kobe in the Meiji era, but I stepped in to find out why Mr. Groome, who loved Japan, Kobe, and Mt. Rokko, built a villa here. Groom was born in Vernon Terrace, a coastal city overlooking the English and French Straits, and came to the Kobe Foreign Settlement in 1868 Keio 3/Meiji 1st year. In this way, he was involved in the trade of Japan tea and Chinese tea, and eventually in 1895 Meiji 28, he built a villa named 101 House here on the banks of Mikuni Pond. One day, when Groom hid a lost fox chased by a hunter, he stayed near the villa and fell asleep on Groom's lap. Eventually, after Mr. Groom's passing, a man who said that this fox had moved to his family came to visit him, and the surprised family built a shrine on Mt. Rokko to enshrine the fox. The man who visited had no connection with the Groom family and had a dream was told by you?. It was said that he had arrived at the Groom family. Because the tail was white, this shrine was named Shirohige Shrine. Actually, I found this Shirahige Shrine first, visited it to learn about its origin, and this time I came to the site of the villa site of Mikuni Pond. Now, when I entered the mountain a little from the bus stop of Mikuni Pond, I heard the sound of a frog like the sound of a cello of a stringed instrument and the murmur of the water flowing smoothly. Soon we reached a path overlooking a large pond through the bushes. There was a small island in the pond, and I could see in the distance how the frog, startled by my presence, jumped to the surface of the water and its ripples spread soundlessly. That's when I was stunned. A short tree stands on the other side of a small island with trees... The surroundings were slightly bright, and I could feel the children of families who had come to hike and running around. I felt like I had seen Mr. Groom as a young child. At that moment, oh, yes! !! I felt convinced. I'm sorry if it's just my imagination, but this is a mountain with the same atmosphere as the waterside of the happy memories that Mr. Groom spent with his family when he was a child... Perhaps this Kobe, which faces the Seto Inland Sea, was very similar to his hometown Vernon Terrace facing the English Channel. The sense of security of hometown... For some reason, I couldn't help but imagine that this was conveyed to the white-tailed fox. Since building his first villa here, Groom has embarked on resort development, tree planting, and mountain trail maintenance on Mt. Rokko. I am sure that this is a power spot where various ideas are excited. This time it was 😊 a piece from a "secret place" surrounded by such healing greenery.

The Ryujin centipede, which has just been registered as a new species in Okinawa, It is the largest centipede in Japan country. Jade-colored paws are characteristic. Centipedes have a strong image of being ferocious, but the individuals I met were at least mild-mannered. They are known to be strong mothers and continue to raise their offspring born from eggs for a while. In addition, if you are in a good mood, it will clean your sense of touch, so it is easy to understand the feeling. If you're hungry, you'll be in a bad mood, so watch out :
