The five-storied pagoda, the symbol of Kibiji in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture, is also surrounded by very beautiful fresh greenery.

While cycling around the ecology park, I saw clusters of Trillium camschatcense. It is a flower that represents Hokkaido, which is also in the package of Rokkatei. Small discoveries are fun when riding a bicycle! We are accepting rental of electric assist bicycles! We look forward to seeing you there.

It's 🌳 a beautiful season of fresh greenery. This is a row of white birch trees at Tokachi Ranch. The observatory, which was closed in winter, is also open to the public, and you can enjoy a vast view. I could see 🐄 a cow in the distance.

Introduction of recommended cycling courses Tokachigaoka Park & Tokachigaoka Observatory! A flower clock is set up in the park and colorful flowers welcome you. The foot bath at Mall Onsen will also open from April 29th, so please ☺️ warm your tired feet from cycling Soft-serve ice cream will also be sold at the shop from May. From there, if you stretch your legs a little and go to the Tokachigaoka Observatory, you can overlook the Tokachigawa hot spring town and the Hidaka Mountains when the air is clear. By the way, the observatory is also very beautiful during the sunset. Tokachigaoka Park: About 5 minutes by bicycle from the guide center Tokachigaoka Observatory: About 10 minutes by bicycle from Tokachigaoka Park Golden Week is going to be warm. We look forward to seeing you there!

The morning sun shines from the fresh green of spring... Mt. Rokko in Kobe has been redressed! !! The photo is a morning scene taken near the ridge of the Omote Rokko Driveway in mid-April. I climbed the hill on a road bike, but it was a pleasant cycling that felt moderately sweaty (I climbed slowly). Mt. Rokko was opened as a leisure mountain by foreigners in the Meiji era, and Arthur Herkes Groom, who built the first mountain villa, is called the "founder of Mt. Rokko." The first mountain villa was built at a place called Mikuni Pond after climbing the driveway in the photo to the ridge. From there, foreigners and Japan people built mountain villas one after another, forming a village. It seems that there are no mountain villas left from that time now, but you can still see many recreation centers of various companies in the vicinity. Even if you actually climb on a road bike, you can meet foxes, raccoons, woodpeckers, squirrels, moles and monkeys, and you can feel that you have come to nature in a different world from the city. How about 😊 forest bathing for a mental retreat this spring?

This is the "Nayoro Sightseeing & Town Planning Association" in Nayoro City, Hokkaido. Nayoro City is located in the northern part of Hokkaido and is known for producing glutinous rice, which boasts the largest acreage in Japan, and asparagus, which boasts one of the highest yields in Hokkaido. Since it is located in the north of Hokkaido, where the cold is severe, the temperature is low throughout the year, especially the average temperature in January is -8.6°C, and the average temperature in February is -14.9°C, which is the lowest among Japanese cities. At dawn in the cold winter season, the water vapor in the air freezes into small ice crystals, and you can see the "diamond dust" of the fantastic scenery that sparkles in the sun. You can also experience the sun pillar, where the reflection of the light of the diamond dust looks like a pillar in Nayoro City. Here are some of the highlights, sightseeing spots, and popular gourmet foods in Nayoro Town. First of all, I would like to introduce "Nayoro City Kitakuni Museums". Nayoro City Kitakuni Museum is a facility built for the purpose of learning about the natural environment and culture of northern countries and connecting them to the future.

In addition, in front of the Kitakuni Museum, the SL snow removal train "Kimaroki" is on display, so please take a look. Next, I would like to introduce "Nayoro Park". The park is surrounded by a forest that combines virgin forests and artificial forests, and the cherry blossoms in the park bloom in late May, and many cherry blossom viewers visit. There is also a park golf course, a tennis field, and a baseball field in the park, making it a facility that everyone from Adult to children can enjoy. The last place I would like to introduce is "Hokkaido Sun Pillar Park". Seasonal flowers bloom in the park, and the summer sunflower field became popular as a filming location for the 2011 movie "Stargazing Dog". There is an auto camp site, and it is also a base for bikers who enjoy sightseeing in Hokkaido. There are many other recommended spots such as "Nayoro City Astronomical Observatory Kitasubaru", "Nayoro Piyasiri Ski Resort", and "Mt. Piyasiri".

Cherry blossoms blooming in the Shimanami Kaido and relaxing bicycles.

Take the kids on the Shimanami Kaido. It is a cycling journey full of tears and sweat and a sense of accomplishment.

The dreamy colors of dawn... This is a photo shoot at Meriken Wharf in Kobe.

Mr. Pigeon walks like ... It was taken at the Suma Coast "Wishing Palm Tree"! !!

Rainbow Bridge Superb View I found a place with a good view at Toyosu Gururi Park (Koto Ward)

Today was nice and warm today, I even opened the window for a bit and let the breeze roll in. Hoping it continues like this although apparently Saturday it's supposed to rain. I'm looking forward to getting out this spring and enjoying riding some bicycles myself. The cherry blossoms should start blooming nicely in Tokyo next week so that's something nice to look forward to as well! I'll have to look for some good parks to ride in. There's a bike rental down the road from where I live and it's really cheap which is nice so hopefully I can make use of it. That or I'll just head out further into the countryside lol. Either way, looking forward to spring!

Rape blossoms and cherry ♡ blossoms #Spring #Cycling
