Harajiri Falls Harajiri Falls is one of Bungoono City’s signature sights in Ogata Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. This fall spans 120 m and drops about 20 m, and unlike most waterfalls it lies on flat ground rather than in a mountain valley. It’s easy to visit because it sits right next to Roadside Station Harajiri no Taki. The waterfall formed as river water slowly eroded columnar jointing created by pyroclastic flows over many years. The road above the falls serves as a local residential route, and it’s interesting to see cars, pedestrians, and even the occasional tractor pass by. A promenade and suspension bridge around the falls let you enjoy views from various angles, and you can sometimes see a rainbow depending on the viewpoint. Location: 936-1 Harajiri, Ogata Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture (Roadside Station Harajiri no Taki)

A typhoon has passed. In Tsukigase, Nara, there is Tsukigase Plum Valley, which was designated as Japan’s first nationally recognized Scenic Spot 100 years ago. During the Plum Festival, held from mid-February through the end of March, many photographers gather from early morning to capture the breathtaking views where the plum groves, the valley, and the sea of clouds meet. However the best time to see Tsukigase Plum Valley is not only in spring. Its fresh green in summer, autumn foliage, and snowy winter landscapes charm visitors through every season. This submission is not of the verdant summer valley but of the sunrise after a typhoon. At first the valley was shrouded in thick river mist, but the fog gradually lifted and the sun began to break through. The way sunlight pierces the shifting mist is truly dramatic.

(3/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! I had been to Maruike spring water before, but this harvest was a small path that continued from the back of the pond. There was a waterway that I liked, so I went on, and at first it was a beautiful road with a bamboo fence and stylish electric lights, but as I went deeper, I was able to pass by a few private houses, and I was able to take a quiet and absent-minded walk. From the next time I went, I was satisfied that this path was also a set, and it was Maruike spring water in the summer of 2024.

(2/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! On this day, there were few ripples, and the bottom of the water was very visible. You can feel the underlying power of Maruike spring water where the dead leaves submerged in the water do not interfere with the scenery. Also, there is a staircase in the water that feels a little algae. If you concentrate only on this area, you can enjoy a submerged sense of the city (maybe). Then there was the moss thriving at a level that you would never see in the water. There were many of them growing as vigorously as broccoli, and it was a forest. of moss.

(1/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! It was a wonderful Spot where people came to fetch spring water with a large container, families picnicking on sheets in the shade of the trees beside the pond, and couples looking at the bottom of the water with a smile.

"Venison Festival!!!" Following last year, the Venison Festival was held again! Deer can eat crops and flowers, and collisions with cars can cause accidents, making them a troublesome presence. However, in Nishiokoppe Village, where deer are relatively numerous, some people are working not to treat deer simply as pests but to use them as a resource. This event was part of those efforts, a day to deliciously enjoy deer caught in Nishiokoppe right there in Nishiokoppe. Some participants were village residents, but the vast majority came from outside the village. Whole roasts, stews, hamburgers and sausages. Everything was superb, and many attendees came back for seconds and thirds. Thank you to everyone who came! #Nishiokoppe Village #deer #Venison Festival #meat #NPO Nishiokoppe Village Hunting District Management Association #Thank you for the meal"

Summer in Japan, returning to the countryside. Memories of a summer are also an adventure story for children. That thrill and excitement that I experienced when I was a child. I wonder if this is how it will be passed on.

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

"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.
