Long time no see.

I would like to introduce (^^)/ a park called Hangankan Forest Park in Niikappu, which is recommended for the coming season

The Judge's Forest Park is a large rock wall with a vast site area of about 66 hectares.
●Campsite
●Field Athletic
● A promenade where you can stroll through the primeval forest of broad-leaved trees
● Plantain trillium growing in large clusters around May
--Judge's Cape where you can overlook the endless Pacific Ocean and urban areas
and so on!

The name "Judge's Palace" was given based on the following legend:

"There is a sad legend that about 800 years ago, Judge Minamoto Kuro Yoshitsune fled the persecution of his brother Yoritomo and fled to the land of Ezo, built a mansion in this critical place, and rested himself, and there is a sad legend that Pirikamenoko, who fell in love with Yoshitsune, left the world against the opposition of his parents and threw himself from here."

Judge's Pavilion = It means the place where Judge Yoshitsune Minamoto Kuro built the building.

It is also said that "in the 9th year of Kanbun, the hero of Shibechari, Shakshine, left a sad story of being murdered, and at the end of the Edo period, the shogunate's meeting place was located."

It's romantic to think that a historical figure might have stood in the same place.

It takes about 40 minutes to go around the promenade, but you can take a walk or do a trail run while admiring the precious flowers and wild birds that live in the untouched nature.

At the end of the promenade, Cape Judge, where you can overlook the endless Pacific Ocean and the urban area of Niikappu, is a must-visit spot.

The Sunset over the Pacific Ocean seen from Cape Judge is one of the best views in Hidaka!

The powerful orange color of the Sunset is powerful and sinks into the sea! (^^) I think you can feel the splendor of nature that cannot be created by man-made objects, such as the speed of the passage and the gradation of orange and the darkness of the night.

By the way, at Niikappu Hot spring Hotel Hills in the town, you can enjoy the spectacular view while taking an open-air bath! (^^)!

It is also recommended to play or take a walk in the Judge's Palace Forest Park, and then go into the Hot spring to sweat it out and watch the Sunset go down (*^^*)

In the center of the Niikappu is the roadside station Thoroughbred Road Niikappu, and to the right of it are the Hearing Experience Cultural Exchange Facility Les Cord Halls and Yujun Tower. Les Cords houses more than one million records, some of which can be viewed and viewed free of charge. The paid course exhibits rare cultural heritage such as phonographs and early vinyl records. You can also listen to music on one of the largest speaker systems in Japan. In the center of the record-sembling Les Cords is the 36-meter-high Yujun Tower, which can be climbed for free, and you can enjoy a 360° panorama from the observation deck, which is 25 meters above the ground. In addition, the observatory exhibits items specialized in Niikappu, such as photographs and souvenirs that honor the history of Niikappu as a horse-producing area and the splendid achievements of Niikappu-produced racehorses, befitting the name Yujun Tower. Since there is only one precious item and something that can only be found here, it is an irresistible spot for horse racing fans and horse lovers. There is also a café that sells coffee and ice cream, so you can relax and see the scenery and exhibits while drinking coffee. When you come to Niikappu, please visit the Yujun Tower! By the way, the costume in the photo is "Umanari". It is said that there are good things when you meet Umanari-san. 【Les Cords and Yujun Tower】※Admission is free. Address: Niikappu Chuo-cho 1-4 Le Cord Hours: 10:30-16:30 Closed: Mondays (or the following day if Monday is a holiday), the day after a national holiday, and the year-end and New Year holidays
