Jacaranda flowers Have you ever heard of Jacaranda, a member of the family Honeysuckle from South America? As you can see in the photo, it is a deciduous tree with purple flowers blooming in bunches like grapes, and the green leaves and purple flowers are very beautiful. In Atami City, there are tall trees looking up height and shrubs eye level along National Route 135 sidewalks between East Kaigan Town "Jacaranda Promenade" ~ Nagisa Town "Shinsui Park" and in Shinsui Park. It is said that the flowering period in Japan is June, but due to the climate, it is very rare for flowers to bloom on the mainland planted in open ground, and there were years when they did not bloom at all in Atami, and there are trees that bloom for the second time not only in June but also in September and October. Not all trees bloom when they bloom, and some years only a few bloomed. Some trees bloom a lot, some bloom only one bunch, and some don't bloom at all... How much will it bloom this season? * Bougainvillea is also in full bloom at the same time in Itokawa, so please visit it as well.

Nishikigaura One of the scenic spots in Atami. It is a scenic spot that stretches for about 1 kilometer from the south of Uomizaki, the entrance to Izu, and the cliffs continue. Uomizaki ~ Nishikigaura ~ Sogaura is about 2 kilometers When the sun rises, the light shines as a dazzling five-colored light in Ura, so it came to be called "Nishikigaura" after the brocade weaving of Kyoto. It retains the remnants of the Atami Taga volcano, and legends derived from historical figures such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Kato Kiyomasa have also been preserved. The height of the cliff is 80 meters.

Location: Higashi-Chichibu Village Thoughts when shooting Invited by the cheerfulness, we drove around Higashi-Chichibu Village.

The scenery of the mountain villa surrounded by peach blossoms is truly Shangri-La in Japan!

Hashiriyu The "Hashiriyu" facing the sea of Sagami is a rare side-hole type hot spring in Japan, and is one of the three major ancient springs in Japan. It was discovered about 1,300 years ago, and was named "Hashiriyu" because of the way the hot water gushed out from the mountains and ran down to the coast as if it were flying. As Minamoto no Sanetomo sang, "The early arrival of the hot spring in the south of Izu no Kuniyama is a sign of the gods," before the Meiji era, it was worshipped as a sacred hot spring at Izuyama Shrine. The 5-meter-deep cave still gushes out 170 liters of 70-degree hot water per minute, and the source is a mysterious sight.
