The Kikuchi Tourism Association rents out bicycles.
Use it has increased recently.

This time, we would like to introduce the popular Outbound destination "Marichi Castle".

Marichi Castle is a mountain castle built by the Yamato administration in the latter half of the 7th century (about 1350 years ago).
Excavations by the prefecture have uncovered valuable remains, including the remains of 72 buildings, the remains of a Water reservoir, and the remains of a Earthen mound.

You can also see the restored building in action.
In addition, at the Onko Soseikan, you can learn more about the history and structure of Marichi Castle through exhibitions and videos.

Excavations have been carried out since 1967 (Showa 42).
In terms of size, it is about 12 times the size of Tokyo Dome.
The park is very spacious, so it is ideal for walking.

In fact, our staff also went on an electrically assisted bicycle.
I was able to arrive from Kikuchi City Hometown Creation Citizens Square to Marichi Castle in about 20 minutes.
Slope is a little, but since it is an electrically assisted bicycle, you can drive it easily.

The premises also has a café "Kuri to Sora" that sells Sweets made from Japanese chestnuts.

Among them, Montblanc Soft seems to be very Popular.
Please stop by the café for healing your trip.

You can enjoy the scenery that you don't usually see.
When you come to Kikuchi City, please enjoy your bicycle trip.

Minami Furano, Shintoku, Shikaoi
I made a pamphlet in three neighboring towns 📕

In the middle of Hokkaido, we introduce delicious Gourmet food made with good trees, good water, good snow, the blessings of nature, and a variety of activities experiences.

This pamphlet is not only packed with the charm of the three towns on National Route 38 and 274,
Each town is color-coded and easy to see.
You can catch detailed Information by searching with the QR code on the page.

The colors of each of the three towns are...
Minamifurano Town - "Swaying lavender🪻 of Lake Kanayama"
Shintoku Town – "The deep blues🫐 of Lake Sahoro"
Shikaoi Town - "Transparent Aqua Marine 💚 of Lake Shirabetsu"

The overall use of gentle colors and the matte and elegant paper texture make it a pamphlet that you can feel Commitment.
As digitization progresses, it is a retrograde paper pamphlet, but I would like you to pick it up once and turn the page.
(Personally, I would like 💡 you to pay attention to the sound of turning the page.)

It seems unusual for neighboring towns to have a joint pamphlet.
So when you come to the Roadside Station or the Tourism Association Window, please pick it up, look at it, and touch it!

We look forward to seeing you💁 ‍♀️

Confectionery Judo
On this day, the gluttonous Kasai was lured by the sweet Aroma as usual and visited Judo-san!
On the day of the event, the person who dealt with the gluttonous Kasai was Mr. TakeVillage. The company was founded about 64 years ago. Judo is Famous in the Locals for its ankoro mochi, dango, and shionaka. This "ankoro mochi" is often served at funerals in the Suwa region. I was born and raised in Suwa, but in the Suwa region, I have never heard of and custom of "moon viewing". There are and Botamochi have often heard.
Gluttonous Kasai bought Swiss rolls, daifuku, and Dango. The cut roll was gentle and high-quality fresh cream, and on this day, chestnuts were included, and it was so delicious that it became addictive. Daifuku is also recommended for women because the bean paste is not sweet and the mochi is soft, and it is a size that can be eaten Anytime! The Dango is exquisite, the sauce wraps the Dango tightly, and it is easy to purchase because it is a full-scale meal! As a glutton, I 🎶 was also curious about the "appuru cake" in the showcase
On this day, it was not in the showcase, but my Gourmet master's "Sacchan Master" in the Information Center in front of the station is Exquisite cream puffs and seems to be recommended to everyone!! If you have the opportunity, please buy it!! Mr. TakeVillage's best was ankoro mochi, dango, and salt!

Today, Gluttony Kasai went to Kotobuki-dou. Mr.Takemura introduce me about Kotobuki-dou. The Kotobuki-dou is famous for Ankoro mochi, Dango and salty Monaka.
I saw Ankoro mochi in funeral. This is regional persists habit around suwa area.
Also, this area, I don’t listen so much about Otsukimi (Moon viewing).
The day I bought Daifuku, roll cake and Dango. Rolled cake was not too sweet, the cream was so smooth and soft. The Daifuku also not too sweet, the size is bite sized. So, it is easy to eat even kids and women. Dango is also bite sized. Mitarashi sauce is so fit together well. Hmmm… So nice! I was curious about apple cake too.
My gourmet master “Satchan” taught me, her recommendation is “Cream Puff”. But that day wasn’t there. I’ll try again other day! Mr.Takemura’s recommendation is Daifuku, Dango and salty Monaka.
