[Hydrangeas are beginning to bloom]

Hydrangea, a flower that represents the rainy season, is beginning to 🤗✨ bloom in various parts of Gokase In the town (photo shows the Mulberry Nouchi area)

From pale blue to dark blue, pink to purple...
The round form wearing a refreshing color is really cute 🥰

There are hydrangeas also have 😌 a delicate beauty like a silent sparkler

I saw many plants that have not yet bloomed, so it seems that they will ✨ entertain you for a while

The rain forecast will continue again from tomorrow onwards, but isn't it a breeze to see hydrangeas dripping with raindrops 😆?

In this season, when it is easy to feel depressed, let's 💪✨ find a little fun and spend it cheerfully

[Planted in large pots]

Nishiokoppe has become a familiar face
Yuka Sato of onesmanorgarden
We invited the instructor and held a planting experience session!

This time, in order to decorate the village facilities,
I planted as many as 15 kinds of flowers and leafy plants in large pots.

It's different from the gathering design I learned last year.
When you take the plants out of the pots, arrange them in the pots, and align the height of the soil, they will be ready in no time.

Before taking it out of the pot
First of all, arrange them side by side to expand the image.

Since the pots have a pattern
Where will the front be,
Let's make it a plant that looks good from any angle.
I imagined and decided on the arrangement.

And when the image solidifies
Plant them in order from the middle, and create a perimeter according to their height.

If the height of the soil surface is not uniform
When Water, go to a low place
Water accumulates.

While I also planted them one by one
If there is a gap, each time
We proceeded with the work while adding soil.

For those of you who are familiar with it,
Even if the pot is large, it will be a slap in the face
It took about 30 minutes to complete the planting.
(It's too early...!) ）

The finished potted plant is
It is installed in both the Kamiokoppe and Nishiokoppe sections.

All the pots are made of the same ingredients.
Squid has its own personality, so it's interesting to compare them.

Hello everyone!
This is the Minami Town Tourism Association.

During the rainy season, there were many sunny days, and the past week has been very hot.
Here in Minami Town, the extremely hot days continued with a record of 30 degrees Celsius.
In the coming season when you want to seek "coolness", we will introduce recommended Nature Spots!

This is "Ebisu Cave"!

Located about 1.5 kilometers north of the Ohama Coast and about 5 minutes by car, Ebisu Cave is a large sea erosion cave.
As a result of the erosion of the interior of the Iwayama (rocky mountain) at an elevation of 52 Meters jutting out into the Pacific Ocean, a large semicircle with a diameter of 30 Meters and a depth of 40 Meters opened up.
The cave is inhabited by the "Rock Swallow", which is designated as a "town bird" and is a town-designated natural monument.

At the top of the Iwayama (rocky mountain)Observation decks and you can see the majestic Pacific Ocean, and beside it is the Ebisu-dong Shrine, which prays for the happiness of husband and wife.

Ebisu Cave Splash of water flashily while emitting a Roaring Sound when the waves rush in.
Please visit us in search of the "coolness" brought by Nature! !!

* The road to the entrance of Ebisu Cave is narrow and Gari winding, so please pay attention to traffic when visiting.
* The Promenade leading to Ebisu-dong is a steep staircase and slope, so please be careful of your feet.

Making seabed Aged wine on a sunken ship|Special tour Held in in Higashi-Izu and Irisawa!
Hello, I'm Hokule'a Shonan!
This time, we successfully held in 😊 our special project, "Making Aged Wine on the Sea Floor in Sunken Ships"

This time, the wine was sunk in a sunken ship at a depth of -24 meters in water in Irisawa in Higashi-Izu.
In fact, it is said that the origin of "seabed Aged wine" is an old wine that was accidentally discovered in a sunken ship.
The swaying waves, the quiet environment, the shading and the constant water temperature created an ideal aged environment for the wines.

We Reproduction the "Submarine Cellar" this time!
The specially prepared bottles were sealed with sealing wax and the carefully prepared wine was transported to the sea.
The space inside the wreck is "just the right size" as if it was prepared for this wine.
The scenery peeking out from the side was truly fantastic, and it was a scenery that made me feel somewhat "romantic".

Thank you to everyone who participated on this day!
In particular, There is a 🍷✨ to Mr. Kobayashi of Hiratsuka's wine bar Binot, who has given us a great deal of cooperation from the planning stage this time

The wine will be raised six months later, in December.
At this year's Christmas party, a special one that has been quietly Aged on the seabed will appear in front of you.
What does it taste like? I can't stop being excited!

At Hokule'a Shonan, it will not end with "just a diving experience" from now on.
We would like to propose a "little special sea trip".

Good evening everyone!
This is the Minami Town Tourism Association.

Today, June 16, is World Sea Turtle Day. It is said to be a day to nurture the feeling of caring for sea turtles and call for their protection.
So today, I would like to introduce you to Ohama Coast, the spawning ground of sea turtles that our Minami Town is proud of!

A sandy beach about 500 meters long located in Hiwasoura, Minami-cho, Kaibu-gun, Tokushima Prefecture, is the Ohama Coast.
As the name suggests, "big beach" is the origin of the name, and there is Thereare Obama at the mouth of the Hiwasa River, which streams nearby.
Just off the coast of Coast is Tachishima, and it is said that it was once possible to walk to the island at low tide.

Ohama Coast is famous as a spawning ground for sea turtles, and in 1967 it was designated as a national natural monument under the name of "Sea Turtle and Spawning Grounds of Ohama Coast".
Since 1950, statistics on the number of loggerhead sea turtles have been collected, and in 1968, 308 landings were confirmed.
However, since 1996, the number of landings has been in the double digits, and since then the number has decreased to the single digits.
Finally, in 2018, the number of eggs laid fell to zero for the first time since statistics began, and in 2023, the number of landings was also zero.

Even so, Minami Town has been working hard to protect the environment of Ohama Coast, and last year, sea turtles were confirmed to have landed and laid eggs in Ohama Coast in two years yellowtail, and this year, on June 12, the first loggerhead sea turtle landed and laid eggs of the year!
They are expected to hatch in early August!

In order to protect the Ohama Coast, which is easy for sea turtles to land and lay eggs, Ohama Coast strives to protect the environment by restricting entry to the Coast at night and prohibiting both cars from passing in the vicinity from mid-May ~ mid-August every year.
When you come to Minami, please cooperate in protecting the environment and protecting the safety of sea turtles.
And while thinking about the sight of the Ohama Coast crowded with sea turtles again, please Enjoy the magnificent Nature! !!

This photo was taken from the Ferris Car when I went to Huis Ten Bosch.
I took the place where the illuminations started just as the sun began to set.
The contrast between the red color of the tower and the blue of the river is Beautiful.
