Kumamoto Amakusa Reihoku Tourism Association

Hello everyone. This is the Amakusa Reihoku Tourist Association. On Saturday, February 28, we exhibited at Amakusa Fair 2026 in Fukuoka, held at HiRaKu in Tenjin, Fukuoka City. Blessed with good weather, many visitors stopped by our booth from the moment we opened. ■Reihoku’s seasonal specialties sold out—thank you! We sold Reihoku’s proud salted dorayaki and processed goods made from fresh seafood. The local products we prepared sold out one after another, which reminded us how much interest people in Fukuoka have in Amakusa. ■Tourism PR and hopes for air travel At the same time, on the venue’s second floor, the Reihoku Town Community Development Cooperation Squad promoted Reihoku at the municipal booths. It was a valuable chance to directly convey Reihoku’s appeal and the convenience of air connections. Thank you very much to everyone who visited the venue and to all who supported our exhibit. We hope the tastes of Reihoku you tried at the event will inspire you to come and visit Reihoku in person next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you in Amakusa and Reihoku!

👓 Experience & Consultation Booths: Learn About and Get Close to Reihoku
In addition to the market, we offer corners where you can learn more deeply about Reihoku.

Tracing the footprints of stories, an adult getaway.🌿 Amakusa Reihoku Literary Walk unearths Reihoku’s literary heritage and proposes a new kind of journey. Recently, with the cooperation of people inside and outside the town, we held a monitored tour📖✨ Literary monuments blending into Reihoku’s beautiful scenery and the landscapes beloved by great writers. As you walk listening to a literary tourism guide’s commentary, the familiar streets begin to sparkle like a novel. A stroll themed around “words” offered a wonderfully indulgent refresh that makes you forget the rush of daily life. From now on, we will prepare to bring this “story” and the landscapes that gave it life to many more people. Look forward to future updates!

苓北の美しい景色の中に溶け込む文学碑や、文豪たちが愛した風景。文学観光ガイドの解説を聞きながら歩くと、いつもの町並みが一編の小説のように輝き出します。
「言葉」をテーマに歩く時間は、忙しい日常を忘れさせてくれる、とても贅沢なリフレッシュ体験でした。

これからは、もっとたくさんの方にこの「物語」とそれが生まれた風景を届けていけるよう準備を進めていきます。今後のお知らせをお楽しみに！

Kumamoto Amakusa Reihoku Tourism Association

On November 19, we held the fourth workshop to develop a sightseeing walking route that lets visitors enjoy “Reihoku’s Literary Treasures,” turning the literary spots and heritage remaining in Reihoku into new tourism resources.

This workshop was the final session. Based on the feedback and ideas we have received so far, we reviewed the proposed route and the draft guide manual again and exchanged opinions with the participants.
We also read works related to Reihoku—Fumiko Hayashi’s Amakusa Nada and Ryōtarō Shiba’s Kaidō o Yuku 17—so participants could feel how the literature still connects with Reihoku today.

Going forward, we aim to develop this into an actual sightseeing tour. We will post progress updates on our website, so please look forward to them.

Note: We are also collecting ideas and useful tips from people who could not attend the workshop to help shape the walking route. Please take part in the survey on our company website’s news section.

Contact: Amakusa Reihoku Tourism Association (Incorporated Association), Ogata ☎0969-31-1136
This workshop was held as part of the FY2025 Kumamoto Future Creation Startup Grant project.

Miyazaki Gokase Tourism Association

Dinner in Gokase 🍴 Today I’m sharing a dinner that a tourism association staff member recently enjoyed ✨ Starting with the dinner 🍴 Top photo: roasted venison 🥩 Look at that shine… 🤩 (Ah… this is very much the staff member’s personal impression) This was a shocking dish that made me think, I’ve never had venison this delicious before… 💡 After tasting this roasted venison, all my previous assumptions about game meat were turned upside down! The vegetables were mainly local, seasoned so you could eat them endlessly 😊 The wild boar stew left no trace in the pot—scooped up with bread— the chicken was tender and juicy, and the venison Bolognese was neatly finished off 😋 Even the dessert, a kettle-roasted tea brownie, made this a hugely satisfying dinner 👏 This time I had a non-alcoholic cocktail, and it was thoroughly satisfying ✨ …I’m really frustrated I couldn’t drink alcohol… 😭 (saying it out loud) This dinner was at: Guesthouse & Bar EL CAMPO 📍872-1 Kuraoka, Gokasecho, Nishiusuki District, Miyazaki Prefecture Note: The venue normally opens Friday through Sunday, but will open on weekdays by reservation. Note: Course meals are available with a reservation at least one day in advance.

ディナーの紹介から🍴
トップ画は鹿肉のロースト🥩
見てくださいこの輝き…🤩
（あ…かなり職員の主観が入っています）
こんなに美味しい鹿肉初めて…と感じた衝撃の一品です💡
この鹿肉のローストを食べて、ジビエに対する今までの固定観念がひっくり返りました！

野菜は地元の野菜を中心としたもので、いくらでも食べられそうな味付け😊

そしてイノシシ肉のシチューは鍋に残ったシチューを残さないように、パンで掬い、鶏肉も柔らかくジューシーで、鹿肉のボロネーゼもキレイにペロリ😋

デザートの釜炒り茶ブラウニーまで大・大・大満足のディナーでした👏

今回はノンアルコールカクテルをいただきましたが、ノンアルコールカクテルでも大満足でした✨
…飲めなかったのが本当に悔しい…😭（心の声を大にして）

YAMANASHI KAZUHIRO

The tallest self-supporting broadcasting tower in the world, Tokyo Sky Tree, and Japan’s symbol of spring, the cherry blossoms. This photograph captures a moment where cutting-edge technology and nature cherished since ancient times show perfect harmony. In Japan, cherry blossoms are more than mere flowers. They symbolize new beginnings and the poignant beauty of a fleeting moment. In this composition, the tower’s urban, sharp steel frame is gently outlined by soft pink petals, reflecting both the energy of ever-changing Tokyo and the unchanging beauty of the four seasons. The clear blue sky contrasted with vivid cherry blossoms embodies Japan’s warm hospitality toward visitors. Through this single image, we hope you can feel the breath of tradition and innovation that Japan proudly offers.

世界一高い自立式電波塔「東京スカイツリー」と、日本の春の象徴である「桜」。この写真は、最先端の技術と、古来より愛される自然が完璧な調和を見せる瞬間を捉えています。
日本において桜は、単なる花ではありません。それは「新しい始まり」や、一瞬の輝きを尊ぶ「儚さ」の象徴です。都会的でシャープなタワーの鉄骨を、柔らかなピンクの花びらが優しく縁取るこの構図は、変化し続ける大都市・東京の活力と、変わることのない四季の美しさを同時に映し出しています。
抜けるような青空と鮮やかな桜のコントラストは、訪れる人々を温かく迎え入れる日本のホスピタリティそのもの。この一枚を通して、日本が誇る「伝統と革新」の息吹を感じていただければ幸いです。

YAMANASHI KAZUHIRO

I photographed this scene in the plum grove of Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan’s three most celebrated gardens. In this historic garden I sought to capture the passage of time played by the plums and the quiet vitality hidden within them, rendering both with a dreamlike interplay of light that blurs dream and reality. A single drooping branch holds a few delicate pink blossoms, and countless floating orbs of light—bokeh—wrap around them. Those many bokeh spheres symbolize layers of time linking past and future and the glitter of innumerable lives. I composed the shot to lead the eye to the central blossom, emphasizing its fleeting beauty and refined dignity.

日本三名園の一つ、兼六園の梅園にて撮影しました。
歴史ある庭園で、梅が奏でる時の流れと、その中に秘められた静かな生命力を、夢と現実が交錯するような幻想的な光の表現で描き出しました。
垂れ下がる一本の枝に、数輪の繊細なピンクの花。それを包み込むのは、無数に浮かぶ光のオーブ（玉ボケ）です。
この無数のボケは、過去から未来へと繋がる時の重なりと、無数の命のきらめきを象徴しています。中央の花に視線を誘導し、その儚さと品格を際立たせる構成にこだわりました。

Atami Tourism Association

Photographed on March 4 The early winter cherry trees near Ginza Street, at the Sakimicho curve, are now in full bloom and catching the eyes of passersby. Of the three trees, the one at the top is called the "Sakamachi Temple Cherry". It is said to be one of the trees planted in the grounds of Iou-ji Temple, which once stood here in the early Meiji period. The tree is over a hundred years old. It survived the Honcho great fire of 1944 and the Atami great fire of 1950, making it a precious cherry tree. Sakamachi Temple Cherry — Address: Sakimicho, Atami City (opposite Hotel Kan-ichi) About 20 early winter cherry trees in Shinsui Park are also continuing to bloom, so please visit if you are in the neighborhood. Shinsui Park — Address: Nagisacho, Atami City (Shinsui Park Daiichi Kouku to Shinsui Park Second Section)

銀座通り近く、咲見町カーブにある大寒桜が見頃となっており、道行く人の目を引いています。
3本中、一番上にある木は「坂町の寺桜」と名前がついており、明治の初め、当時この場所にあった「医王寺」の境内に植えられたうちの1本と言われています。
樹齢は百年以上。昭和19年の本町大火、昭和25年の熱海大火を生き抜いた貴重な桜です。
【坂町の寺桜】住所／熱海市咲見町（「ホテル貫一」向い）

親水公園にある大寒桜（約20本）も見頃が続いていますので、ぜひお近くにお越しの際にはご見学ください。
【親水公園】住所／熱海市渚町（親水公園第一工区～第二工区）
