Tsukasaki Mr. KiyohikoThe image of the soft-shelled turtle, the letter "turtles ray" of (soft-shelled turtle wisp) to goodwill at the entrance.
"I only have only N snapping turtle out (laughs)."
Was kindly greeted the shopkeeper, Mr. Kiyohiko Tsukasaki."Upstream Katsutakara Ajimu-tei" is a specialty store of soft-shelled turtle cuisine.Tsukasaki who is also the chairman of the "soft-shelled turtle Ajimu the Promotion of Science", are also carried out of the soft-shelled turtle farming is, but the more detailed one that of soft-shelled turtle, that of Ajimu.
"This area seems to have been the lake ancient times.'m Some say you are is called Ashioi (leg) from the fact that reeds had Shigeru~tsu, that it was a relief Institute. Now is not a lake, most have become a rice field, but the river Tsubokawa (Tsubusagawa), and Fukami River (Fukamigawa) is flowing, I have soft-shelled turtle is natural for a long time. inn is in the old days Ajimu In a lot, and I did not put out only river fish dishes, but I began to get a soft-shelled turtle cuisine soon. By the way, you have excavated more by a few decades ago, fossils of elephant that came out around here When you are, fossils of soft-shelled turtle 300-4000000 years ago I came out. The'm was what form is not substantially the same as now. it I was here from such old soft-shelled turtle. "About 40 years of your father who is a Tsukasaki currently Chairman you started the shop, and told me that he was not able to judge the soft-shelled turtle in the beginning.
We will start by dropping the neck first. Since been helping to nurture a soft-shelled turtle, I hesitated at first. Was allowed wear the mud and put it in fresh water for a while, you can judge the "soft-shelled turtle. It's the desert, and now of course Do not not to keep in mind that it or bite if touched the lower side (laughs) of. head that is doing ".
I passed through a hot water turtle who lost his headAfter removing the blood in the body to drop the neck, and blanch in boiling water lightly.
I flay thin surface"This, I such order to flay thin surface. Because there is a smell in the part you are Furea~tsu directly with mud skin, remove carefully.
Before you peel the thin skin, left after it yes rightOrient the simple, such as part of the shell, but, like the tip of a foot It is troublesome. Shell I will be pale green when peel ".
Cut so as hollowing out the central part of the shellThen I cut the shell.
To cut the "shell'm there are techniques a little. And such is called a veranda such as emperor, towards the edge of the carapace, is a place rich in collagen in particular. To hollow out the center of the shell so as to leave that part Turn off. shell and spine Because of the integrated soft-shelled turtle, you must turn off the base of the tail and the base of the neck. later, because some internal organs smell appear when you hurt, you cut to prevent damage to it . Once you remove the shell, to remove unwanted internal organs such as the heart and gall bladder. "You turn off the part that is eaten in the next. Because it is a fresh soft-shelled turtle, there is also a part to be the sashimi.
Of that meat of "soft-shelled turtle is the only part of the hind paw and forefoot. Portion to be in sashimi in it is the meat part of the base of the forefoot, is attached to the portion corresponding to the shoulder blade In terms of human beings. Because relatively broad It is easy to cut into sashimi. Because not like the fence of the form still well-equipped like a fish, thick portion also comes out. because there is a chewy very body of soft-shelled turtle, when such is, blowfish sashimi Usuki It is a technique I'll based on two-stage-pulled like. put the knife in a way that half the thickness, and spread themselves without Shimawa cut. in the chunk the hind and front legs after taking a sashimi Use this deep-fried or cooked in water. lump of white fat sticks to the base and also hind also forefoot, but this I'm a source of energy at the time of hibernation for the turtle. it is kind of Cobb like speaking with a camel I. depending on the time, the amount of this fat is different. fat is chock is about a month in hibernation, but the amount of fat is less hibernation dawning. want to to it put a little meat this also becomes to taste I am, but it removes a little when it is too much. then, as sashimi, eggs and liver, too has been served. "
I cook meat with water, the emperorCooked in water making begins preliminary arrangements is finished.As you I want to be able to put a porch or body that was chopped and ground water in the "pot, water is cloudy, lye You will be much surprised when you boil.
I remove access since a large amount of leaveIt would be as well not take the evil you do not hawk from water. From taking the Evil boil once, and cook about 20 minutes, but Continue reeling lye meantime. And I use the lye up of three mesh size is different. It is from coarse at first. And I'm absolutely necessary is that to make a delicious soup, to take to clean the scum.
Pour the soup which was made by the shell cooked in a separate pot and cook further. I keep to accessAnd, I also need to mix while taking the scum, gelatinous so as not stick to the pan bottom. I'm a time exquisite time to cook that's of 20 minutes (laughs). Fire is hardly street soft-shelled turtle, I have to hawk some extent, bone away BETTER and cook 20 minutes or more, but the meat itself is I disappear delicious taste that will come out in the soup all ".
Soup is ready to become transparent when cook for about 20 minutes while the scum ToritsuzukeTake the access, the amount of water decreases by being cooked. It is a soup that comes in a separate pot to be added from time to time there.
"This one is a thick soup of soft-shelled turtle that made ​​it cook for 1 hour or more a shell. To make this up is also lye It is very still."Soup was cloudy with evil, will gradually turned clear with good fragrance.
It may be that smelled of soft-shelled turtle pot of old days. (Laughs)? Would was almost taste "is without taking the lye, since you have not Heide also skin you show just us, etc.. Ginger for smell off Those who said, "This soft-shelled turtle and Antan, smell? do try to do the plugs why" in the person who seems to have put various things to you who have eaten to come to. within also'll come. making one person richness of the soup is different amount of meat the size of the pot and also so different and of creating Noto 5 servings. should I make a lot at one time I will thicken. "Paper letters on the wall of the kitchen, the liver to "pot, fin that?" Do you entered was written that had been put.
It is a Emperador the edge of the shell. Soup is going to be good taste liver also fin also and put. Alone "soft-shelled turtle pot", "fins as can eat all sites of soft-shelled turtle, rather than the course It is also thought that. Please try to drink only soup to try. you will like the soup of fish? "If you do not know the soup of soft-shelled turtle, smell the taste you might think Ushiojiru of sea bream.

Liver miso and salted built-in's delicacy of travel of the shochu. After the texture Kori~tsu, eggs that Puchi~tsu, sashimi meat's rich flavor feel even sweet as Tsurutsu sashimi crunchy, of the liver. And, the main "soft-shelled turtle pot".Ponzu sauce that it is served is also a "soft-shelled turtle ponzu sauce" of special.

The fish tank that's so big it can hold FOUR whale sharks
By CLAIRE COHEN
Last updated at 9:37 AM on 17th June 2008It certainly beats watching a lonely goldfish swimming round its tiny bowl.
This is one of the world's biggest fish tanks - so big that it's even been named the Kuroshio Sea.
Located in the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan, the enormous tank is some ten metres deep, 35 metres wide and 27 metres long.
A giant whale shark behind the world's largest acrylic panel at Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa
It holds a staggering 7,500 tonnes of water - roughly equal to three Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Eighty species live in the Kuroshio Sea tank, including yellow-fin tuna, bonito (a type of large mackerel) and manta rays.
But the daddy of them all is the world's biggest fish, the whale shark - which can grow to be 12 metres long and needs a quarter of a tonne of food every week.
Only three aquariums in the world have tanks large enough to house these giant creatures.
Viewers observe a giant manta ray
The four whale sharks at Churaumi move around comfortably - swimming diagonally past each other and feeding with their long tails touching the plethora of colourful corals at the bottom of the tank.
Rather than hand-pick fish from around the world and force them to mix in unfamiliar waters, the emphasis in the Kuroshio Sea tank is placed on local sea life.
All the species housed here can be found thriving around Okinawa - and even the water itself is pumped in from 300 metres offshore.
It is no surprise, then, that this titanic space requires an equally large observation panel.
The Kuroshio Sea: The world's largest fish tank in Okinawa, Japan has a focus on local sea life
The world's largest aquarium window, it measures a staggering 8.2 metres by 22.5 metres and is more than 60cm thick - this is necessary to stop the tank from collapsing under the huge water pressure placed on the glass.
It was constructed from seven acrylic-resin sheets, which were stuck together using a strong glue with a secret formula.
The appearance is dazzling and the window is so clear that each year millions of visitors can believe, for a moment, that they have stepped into a magical underwater world.

Naruto Whirlpools　～The most powerful current in the world～
One of the greatest attractions of the Seto Inland Sea is the world's most powerful tidal current, swirling at a velocity of twenty kilometers per hour or higher. You can see giant whirlpools created by the ebb and flow of currents at Naruto Strait in Tokushima Prefecture. During spring and autumn in particular, vortexes can reach up to twenty meters in diameter, and are a sight worth seeing. When planning a visit to the area, you are recommended to time your trip to coincide with high or low tides, during which times the whirlpools are most clearly visible.
Whilst waiting for the ebb or flow tides, a visit to the Onaruto Bridge Crossing Memorial Museum is also recommended. There you can enjoy a magnificent view of the whirlpools on a panorama screen.Edited by kinwashi 21 Nov `12, 10:09PM -
Naruto Whirlpool
Amazing scenery appears in front of your cruise ship.
This cruise will take you to see the amazing natural phenomenon of whirlpools. You will get very close to the powerful whirlpool, but it’s safe enough that you won’t be swallowed up! Current speeds are up to 20km/h, and the whirlpool may reach up to 20m in diameter. The view of the spinning whirlpool roaring and splashing is a thrill.
These whirlpools are formed by the meeting of the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean. That’s why the seafood in Akashi is so tasty, because the water contains more minerals and the hard tide is said to strengthen the fishes’ bodies.
Reservations are preferred for small groups, and the tour schedule depends on the weather conditions. The best seasons to see the whirlpools at their largest are spring and autumn.
Hours: 9am – 17pm
Address: Uzushio Dome, Fukura-ko, Minami Awaji City, Hyogo 656-0501
Telephone: 0799-52-0054

Whirlpools # 1 of 4 most visited
sights in Naruto access - admission - ratings - links
The Naruto whirlpools occur along the Shikoku coast of the Naruto Straight, and are created by the large volumes of water moving between the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean between high and low tide, combined with the unique underwater geography of the narrow straight.
According to the change of tides, the whirlpools occur roughly every six hours and can typically be seen once in the morning and once in the afternoon for an hour or two. The whirlpools vary in size, depending on the intensity of the tides. They tend to be larger in summer than in winter, and are largest during spring tides, which occur every two weeks.
Under ideal conditions, whirlpools of up to 20 meters in diameters can be observed. On the other hand, there is not much to see on calm days or outside of the peak times. Therefore, it is of great importance to check the whirlpool schedules (see links below) before making a visit to Naruto.
The Wonder Naruto tour boat 
Onaruto BridgeThe whirlpools are not dangerous to boats and are best viewed from sightseeing cruises which get right up next to and among the whirlpools. There are two companies that run tours from nearby piers onShikoku and one that operates from Awaji Island on the opposite side of the straight.
On the Shikoku side, Uzushio Kisen operates small boats with water level decks from a pier just outside Naruto Park. A little bit further away lies the pier of Uzushio Kankosen, which operates the "Aqua Eddy" (medium sized boats with two decks and underwater windows) and "Wonder Naruto" (large sized boats with two decks) to the whirlpools.
As the whirlpools are best viewed from a higher vantage point, it is recommended to take a "Wonder Naruto" boat tour which offers the best views from its upper first-class deck at an additional charge. Boat tours by both companies last 20 to 30 minutes with two departures per hour.
Uzu no MichiThe next best views are from Uzu no Michi, an enclosed walkway that extends under the Onaruto Bridge and overlooks the whirlpools. The walkway's observation room sits 45 meters above the whirlpools below which can be seen through glass windows set in the floor.
Naruto Park (Naruto Koen), the park encompassing the attractions around the whirlpools, also has a number of walking trails and viewpoints found around it with views of the whirlpools and Onaruto Bridge. The best views of the swirling water are from the Senjojiki Observatory. Another viewpoint, Eska Hill, is accessible via a 68 meter long, paid escalator, but its restaurants and shops appear rather run down.
Also found in the park is the Onaruto Bridge Museum Eddy, which is devoted to the construction of the Onaruto Bridge, the straight and its whirlpools. And last but not least, the Otsuka Museum of Art, Japan's largest museum, stands out toward the southern edge of the park and displays nothing but reproductions of Western Art.

Now we are at Hyogo.
What is interesting here.
http://www.hyogo-tourism.jp/english/
Welcome to Hyogo
Experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of Hyogo. Let us inspire you.Hyogo Prefecture, located near the center of Japan, faces the Japan Sea in the north and the Pacific Ocean via the Seto Inland Sea in the south. 135º east longitude fixes Japan Standard Time and runs through the central part of the prefecture. Hyogo is blessed with an abundance of wonderful resources and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Himeji Castle is just one representative of history and culture. Nature on Mt. Rokko; the prosperous Arima, Kinosaki, and Yumura hot springs; Kobe beef and Izushi soba; and snow crab and local sake are some of the other representatives.
Kansai International Airport (KIX), also known as the gateway to Japan, is about one hour from Kobe by limousine bus. Osaka International Airport (Itami) is only forty minutes by bus from Kobe so it is also easy to get to from many other areas in Japan. The Shinkansen (bullet train) also stops in Shin-Kobe, Nishi-Akashi, Himeji, and Aioi. Hyogo is easy to access by land and air.

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, also called “Pearl Bridge”, is located in Japan and considered as Japan’s finest engineering feat. Akashi Kaiko Bridge is the world’s longest suspension bridge in the world with a length of 3911 meters (12,831 ft). The Akashi Kaiko Bridge acts as a link between the city of Kobe and Iwaya by crossing the Akashi strait. The construction was finished in a span of 12 years which actually begin in the year 1986 and completed in the year 1998. Akashi Kaikyo Bridge plays an important role in providing three routes across the Inland sea.
Architecture
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge uses one of the finest architecture and technology which consists of three spans. The Akashi Kaikyo Suspension Bridge is designed in such a manner where the earthquakes and harsh sea currents doesn’t damage the bridge. The Kobe earthquake on January 17, 1995 is the best example for this bridge’s efficiency.
History
Before the construction of the bridge, boats and ships (ferries) were used to carry passengers and vehicles across the Akashi strait. Akashi strait is an international waterway which is approximately 1500 meter wide shipping lane. Akashi strait waterway is also one of the dangerous waterways before the construction of Akashi Kaiko Bridge due to some severe storms. During the year 1955, a severe storm was experienced in which two ferries were sank resulting in the death of 168 people. As a result, the Japanese government planned to develop a suspension bridge to cross the strait. Originally, the plan was to construct a railway bridge along with a road bridge. But the construction was restricted to a road bridge only consisting of 6 lanes.
Tourism
The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge was constructed in such an extent which also attracts tourism in Japan. Two amazing parks were built in the surroundings of Akashi Kaikyo Bridge for tourists. The two parks were named Maiko and Asagiri. The view from the park is a wonderful experience to the visitors as the view from there is absolutely magnificent. Both the parks can be reached by traveling through the coastal train line.

PAGE ONE
The Akashi Kaikyo Suspension Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the world and it is probably Japan’s greatest engineering feat.
It took two million workers ten years to construct the bridge, 181,000 tonnes of steel and 1.4million cubic metres of concrete. The steel cable used would circle the world seven times.
It has six lanes and links the island of Awaji and the mainland city of Kobe, a distance of four miles. The concept of building a bridge across the Akashi Straits became urgent after a disaster in 1955. A ferry carrying over one hundred children sank after colliding with another ferry, in the busy shipping lane. One hundred and sixty eight children and adults died in the disaster. Political pressure for a bridge increased and in 1988 construction began.
The Akashi Straits is four miles wide at the bridge site with sea depths of one hundred metres and currents averaging fourteen kmph. The Akashi Straits is one of the busiest sea lanes in the world with over a thousand ships per day travelling through it. Furthermore, the bridge is in a typhoon region in which winds can reach speeds of 290 kmph.
The construction of a suspension bridge involves the use of two main cables stretching between two towers. The roadway beneath these is suspended by more cables. To stop the towers, roadway and cables collapsing, they are held at either end by large anchor blocks (the Akashi anchor blocks weigh 350 000 tonnes). In the case of the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, suspension bridge technology was pushed to the limit.

HimejiCastleThebestofthe"topthree"castlesinJapan
Himeji CastleIf you only see one castle in Kansai, put this at the top of your list! Reportedly the most visited castle in Japan, Himeji Castle (Himeji-jo), nicknamed the “White Heron” has been standing proudly on top of a hill called Himeyama for 400 years. Constructed from wood, not stone, it is named the White Heron due to its white plastered earthen walls that help to make it fireproof. Built by Regent Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the late 16th century, the first castle was destroyed by Ikeda Terumas, a feudal lord under the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1600, who built this new fortress over eight years.
The main tower is 46.4 meters high, but as it’s built on top of Himeyama, it stands 92 metres above sea level. Himeji-jo is comprised of 83 buildings and has highly developed systems of defensive design, similar to a maze. Nowadays although the route is clearly marked, many visitors still get lost. Once inside, be prepared to walk up narrow wooden stairways, and you’ll need to duck your head very often. The castle also relies solely on natural lighting, so if it’s a cloudy day some rooms might appear quite dark at times. For me the best thing about Himeji-jo is that it really looks, feels and smells authentic. Most of its significant features have been preserved. Himeji-jo is a triumphant survivor and example of early 17th century Japanese castle architecture. Virtually unaffected by natural disasters and war, I felt both fortunate and happy that this magnificent structure still stands, protected for future generations to enjoy.
The surrounding grounds afford many angles to take photos of the castle from afar, as well as some nice seasonal foliage such as Japanese maple and cherry blossom trees. Naturally there are amenities such as toilets and the ubiquitous souvenir shops selling all kinds of related merchandise and Japanese snacks. In 1993 Himeji-jo was registered on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. Himeji-jo is a must see. Superb!
By JR express train (Sanyo Line) from Osaka it takes about one hour and from Kobe 40 minutes. From Himeji Station, the castle is a 15 minute walk.
*At the time of writing, Himeji-jo is undergoing a major restoration including the use of scaffolding until 2015.

and the ends of some tiles are now gilded, before the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, the roof tiles were
gilded also. This prompted people to call the castle Golden Crow Castle. After the battle of Sekigahara (1600),
when Ukita Hideie was exiled to Hachijo (an island prison), the castle became the property of the Ikeda clan.

1500 x 1129 (496 KB)The Tsukimi Yagura is an original (1620) Sumi Yagura (corner storehouse and watchtower)
and is designated an Important Cultural Property. Tsukimi Yagura means Moon Viewing Turret.
The tsukimi yagura wasn’t used (only) for viewing the moon... the upper story was used as a meeting
place for military conferences, to monitor and document arrivals at the gate, and for higher-angle
support for the soldiers in the first story in case of an attack on the gate or the walls below.
Okayama Castle 0310

Okayama Castle was one of the great castles of the Edo period, but like many others
it was considered archaic and unnecessary by the Meiji period Ministry of War, which was
concerned with westernizing itself, so the moats were filled in and the city overgrew the grounds.
Allied bombers completed the destruction in 1945, and the castle was rebuilt as a museum in 1966.

Okayama Castle 0333

Oda Nobunaga’s Azuchi Castle, which was a groundbreaking departure in castle design of its time.

Okayama Tachi 0345
1616 x 766 (279 KB)Ikeda Mitsumasa (Okayama daimyo, 1616-1682) established a Toshogu Shrine in 1644,
enshrining Tokugawa Ieyasu (see the pages on Nikko Toshogu Shrine for information on the
most famous of the Toshogu shrines). He donated this superb ceremonial Tachi, a slightly
longer sword than a Katana, of earlier design, worn hanging edge down from the belt.The Tachi was designed to be used primarily from horseback, and they are often more
curved than a Katana and longer to improve the cutting ability when used from above.
They were easily drawn when on horseback, but somewhat awkward when used on
the ground due to the greater length and additional curvature. For this reason, a
warrior who carried a Tachi would often carry an Uchigatana as a companion
blade. The Uchigatana was meant to be worn edge up in the belt rather than
slung below it, and was shorter and less curved, making it easier to draw
and cut in one stroke, easier to use indoors or in close quarters, and
as the curve was nearer the sword point rather than nearer the hilt,
the sword naturally came out of the sheath ready to strike. These
advantages made the Uchigatana more and more popular to
the warrior, and by the mid-14th C. the Tachi became more
out of favor. The Uchigatana then evolved into the Katana.
Okayama Castle Akazunomon 0351

when the feudal lord Ikeda ruled the castle. It led from the feudal government office
to the Honden (Ikeda’s mansion) via a 61-step stone staircase (from the top of which
this photo was taken). Instead, the roofed passage from the office’s other end was used.Note that the gate is built below the level of the castle grounds. Like a number of gates at
Himeji, in case of attack the gate could be backfilled with stones and dirt to prevent entry.

Okayama Castle 0373wp
1600 x 1200 (481 KB)Note the small kara hafu (arched gable) above the first level roof.
Because of the shape of the foundation due to the shape of the hillside,
the first level was built with a small angled projection (seen below the gable).
The plan view of the first level resembles a very shallow pentagon (five sides).
The next level of the castle was built straight and normal, leaving the lower
angle exposed. The kara hafu was placed above it to use the space.As a parting gift for you, I am providing this image without the watermark,
(using web-compression rather than portfolio-compression) so you can use it as
wallpaper if you like. Shooting a black castle directly into the sun was quite a large
challenge (the sun was high in the sky, as you can see, but still...). I hope you like it. -

Akashi Kaikyo National Park
In the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) and Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan), ancient Japanese texts that tell the story of Japan's mythological birth, Awaji Island has the historical and cultural distinction of being the first island created by the gods. The island has also been known for its abundance of nature, having been designated a food producing area for the Emperor in ancient times. The people of Awaji Island express their appreciation for this natural abundance through festivals held at different times of the year. This appreciation lives on from ancient times in people's lives to the present day.
Awaji Hana-Sajiki
Since far back in time people have lived harmoniously with nature on Awajishima. That spirit of harmony lives on today among Awaji islanders.
Expanding on the theme, "Awajishima, the Island of Parks," we aim to usher in a new age of pride on the island in which people feel spiritually reconnected to their countryside origins, creating new hope for the future.The Onaruto Bridge was completed in 1985, followed by the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in 1998. These bridges now enable Awaji Island to connect Shikoku to the mainland of Honshu. The island has become a symbolic meeting point for cultural exchange.
In March 2000, the "Island Park Awaji Charter" was established to reinvent Awaji as an island of parks featuring flowers and greenery.
Awaji Island was the the epicenter of a major earthquake in 1995. Now, various efforts are being made to promote floral culture on Awaji. We are succeeding in creating a new image for the island as a place to visit to enjoy flowers and beautiful scenery.

Hideki NomuraLarge square pot that is integrated with counter is partitioned in a number of frame. Oden Dane that has been put to separate each seems to have decided.
Soup becomes "original'm the same, but the depth of taste'm all different frame each. Example, radish will continue to soak the taste slowly and carefully over a period of 4 days in the soup thin. Cattle streak , I try to not mix with other grease from so many come out. "
When I am allowed to taste, taste is different from any certainly what was refreshing, something slightly more salt, such as fat content in many cases. 's Not there in the same rainy season Oden Dane all.
"Since Oden is not a dish to eat the soup, you might feel a little salty to drink it alone. But it going to be a good feeling when you Oden".
Around the pot counter color is bald29 founded in 1975, "wind and rain". Hideki Nomura's third generation stood in the counter, I have watched Oden now. Counter that contains the term of service. Colors are bald, especially around the pot.
"Those who sit around the pot to it are many. It 's Mezzanine most counter (laughs)."If you observed sitting on a counter, that Oden Dane other than the classic, it is not unfamiliar also been placed in the pot.
Large pot, which is also a number of partitionThink you are about 25 different all the time, "Oden Dane. Good soup, too will come out (shiitake) powdery mildew. There is also something minced fish of Mexicali is a fish that is well-known. The beans you are connected by a dried gourd shavings sprouts of soy in Miyazaki It is Miyashiro unique. sprouts also known as Oyashi. later, Oden Dane one big It is also characteristic of Miyakonojo. types of Oden out, broadly divided into those standard, Dane, seasonal change It is. If there is cartilage of pigs are a lot Oden of Miyakonojo, but rather than Oden in the house, we are cooked in miso whom a special in another pot. then, cattle streaks and Achilles of Wagyu those shank of Miyazaki cattle with, this too is a bit unusual in the house only. "
Nomura's eyes can see his state of the pot's seriousI had a several types, but it is clear taste of the soup while stain in good condition any, taste of the material's also been important. Some color on the surface is dark but, frankly, unlike the taste to imagine from the color. any number eat is likely to be.
"I'm think I want to give delicacy to Oden. Nor a stewed dish nor a casserole Oden. It will no longer delicious and bring to a boil simmer. Rather than simmer, and taste slowly over time It is the sense that instill. material contains a taste of the soup, and and. I want to return to the soup taste umami of the material ... out in rainy season from material, able to eat in the audience when it is the most delicious The way I see it. "
Cartilage of pigs to include a taste our special misoWell, how soup as a base I wonder if it is made?
The "soup, you made ​​it with only salt and bonito soup stock and kombu dashi. I use the dried bonito in southern Kyushu-Makurazaki. While sure the taste of the soup that comes in a pot, it is going to shirttail a new soup. Founded's the grandmother of me, but I am soup that followed me grandma, and parents,. and I a taste of what if there is a history of the "wind and rain. '"He seems to have some work to do to without fail in order to protect this soup.
Put out all the Oden Dane last day ", you weaken it and put a Cobb soup in soup. You boiled taking harsh taste and unpleasant taste. Twice a day, management of three times. Soup is quite summer in winter It is troublesome (laughs) "
Do not put the soup only a short time spinach"Oden spinach is also delicious."
Who was out with is, and spinach put the fire moderately Put Some soup. It is a feeling of a warm and elegant boiled. This place that's a Oden Dane it is common in Miyakonojo. In addition, Mr. Nomura is making the thing more interesting.
Homemade meat sauce items have been placed in the "special Western-style stuffed cabbage. Tsukune pulled crude Miyazaki estate steward chicken, cream cheese and chicken cartilage. I do not know even when viewed from the outside, but when I opened it I'm surprised ( It 's interesting texture also different if you carry laughs) to. mouth. basic taste while spear firmly to be able lovingly to the elderly, and I also did a new one towards young people. "
Your father Atsushi Nomura's third-generation Nomura HidekiWell, why the shop would the name "wind and rain"? Your father Atsushi Nomura's Hideki is with us to talk.
When the mom of "I begin to shop, towards the city hall was acquaintance seems I was me thinking about the trade name of a lot. Wondering if there is also the word" wind and rain "in it, it is good raspy, or a wish good It had been said that it was Tsuke be. Oden shop was in those days, seems to have had enough of them and "Jungle" san, then shop to issue a Oden has increased in Miyakonojo. smile? (wonder if a Oden love everyone ) ".Hideki is with us to talk about such a shop name.
Those drinks also sweeter'm Apparently people who like. I thought it was also out, there is a variety of cuisines Oden, a la carte, and desserts, and this name and I wish suit is "wind and rain" in the "upper storyteller (laughs) ".When the talk was over interesting, the taste 〆, Oden porridge using the soup of Oden. Taste of the soup, which was born from a long history and taste a number of the ingredients are, stood out in a manner different from the Oden itself.
There are about 25 different times. In addition to classic, such as radish, and bean sprouts Miyashiro only, some rare and special Western-style stuffed cabbage
It made it with only salt and bonito soup stock and kombu dashi, the base to now while shirttail a new soup. It is a taste that has taken over in a safe place in the three generations of parents and children.
It is also a number of partition in the large pot which is the main, it has been put into the soup taste different to each Dane Oden.The purpose is to produce a delicate taste

Tadewara Wetlands (Kokonoe-machi)
Located in the Aso Kuju National Park and at the north side of Kuju Mountains, the Tadewara Wetlands are shaped from a piece of alluvial fan on a height of 1000 meters. As the largest wetlands formed in the mountain areas, the Tadewara wetlands are taken pride by the Japanese people for its size. Nevertheless, in 2005, the wetlands are written in the Ramsar Convention with the official name of the Kuju Bogatsuru Tadewara Wetlands. Visitors can take a walk freely along ‘wetland course’ or ‘forest course’, two boardwalks built for natural research originally. The boardwalks are designed with barrier-free equipments.
It takes approximately one hour to reach the end of the boardwalk when walking slowly. The river sound makes people feel comfortable and smooth so that people can taste the natural scenery splendidly. Trekking around the wetland with nature guides and highland therapy are also popular programs taken by tourists.
By the way, there are all kinds of precious rare highland plant growing in the wetlands.

Experiencing highland therapy
The highland therapy is a trial of new healing method going on at the Tadewara Wetlands. Going through a three-kilometer-long road made up of wetlands and forests, people’s hearts and bodies get relaxed under the leafy shade.
Tourists need to walk while listening to the guide’s introduction of the wetlands. Going across the wetland and through the forest, the huge wide plain is where the therapy formally starts. Then putting the mat in the shade, tourists need to lie down and warm up their body according to the guide’s instructions. By closing the eyes and adjusting the breath, people would feel peace and refreshment from the surrounding nature.

Inomure Mountain (Bungotakada City)Inomure Mountain is a 458-meter high small mountain located at the place where Matama Hot Spring of west Kunisaki Peninsula can be seen down directly. As the promenade to the top is well constructed, Inomure Mountain is also a popular trekking spot. Tourists can imagine how the ancient locals believed in stones when visiting the stone circle at the east side of the crest. Attracted by the mystery of the giant stones, organizations and scholars who research on stone civilization visit Inomure Mountain frequently from the whole country.
Since the stones were formed due to volcano eruption, tourists can experience the incredible phenomenon that the compass gets out of work at the particular spot. It takes approximately 1 hour to get to the crest. There are broad spaces along the course for people to view the heaven-like sceneries of Kunisaki’s mountains and sea.

Mt. Yufu (Yufu City)
Mt. Yufu, the symbol of Yufuin Hot Spring, is a fascinating spot for hiking. The hiking route consists of three courses started from the front, west and east and eventually leads to the two crests that are called Nishi-mine (west crest) and Higashi-mine (east crest). It is better for beginners to take the front course because the road is comparatively flat. Walking through slowly up-going grassland and a natural forest area, it takes 45 minutes to get to the rest space. Then climb up along a zigzag way after a short break, it takes another 60 minutes to reach the split point for the two crests.
There is only a 15-minute way to both of the crests. Please take a little bit more attention when climbing up to the Nishi-mine for the road is more difficult.
The morning fog that can only be seen in fall and winter is amazingly fantastic. Tourists also have opportunities to catch a sight on wild deer if they are lucky enough.
Access Info: Take a Kamenoi bus from JR Yufuin Station and get off at Yufu Tosanguchi Stop (around 15 minutes)

Mt. Tsurumi (Beppu City)On the top of Mt. Tsurumi, tourists can observe the whole city of Beppu. People can enjoy totally different natural worlds inside the mountain in the four seasons with cherry blossoms in spring, miyamakirishima in early summer, maple leaves in fall and freezing fog in winter. Mt. Tsurumi is popular for its easy climbing even by wearing sports shoes.
Tourists need to gather at SPA Beach, which is facing Beppu Bay and it takes around two hours to reach the ropeway station. Another 50-minute climbing will lead people to Ontake-gongensya Shrine. This is a rest point where people can heal their bodies with the hand-washing spring provided. Then keep climbing for 90 minutes more and people can get to the top. It is the only climbing course in Japan that from the sea level (SPA Beach) to the height of 1375 meters (Crest of Mt. Tsurumi), the route passes no main highways so that tourists can climb with no safety concern.
To enjoy the climbing by an easier way, it is recommended to start from the ropeway station. Then people need two and a half hour to reach the top. Both ways are ok for tourists to choose when going down ------ by ropeway or by feet. Since ropeway is available when going down, Mt. Tsurumi can be a beginning course for climbers.

Mt. Kuju (��山）
Mt. Kuju is not only a majestic volcanic wonderland filled with luscious greenery, steaming gas vents, and serene lakes – it’s also the highest peak on the island of Kyushu.
The hike: From the parking lot, take the trail that starts to the left of the souvenir shop. It should take about 20 minutes to reach the Kuju ridge line up the concrete-lined path. If you’ve come in early summer, then you should find a sea of beautiful azalea in bloom and literally hundreds of people. The next 40 minutes to Ogigahana (扇ヶ鼻) is relatively easy going, where you’ll find a 4-way junction. You can either climb to the top of Ogigahana, head left to the summit of Mt. Hosho (星生山) or continue straight towards Mt. Kuju. The steam vents just behind Mt. Hosho are wonderful, and a reminder that you’re on an active volcano! After another half hour or so, you’ll reach the saddle just below the peak of Kuju, where you’ll find a small emergency hut. There are lots of different trails that branch off in all directions, so I recommend climbing over to Naka-dake first (ä¸å²³) first, and hitting Mt. Kuju on your way back to Mi-no-koshi. Naka-dake is the tallest peak in Kyushu, and reachable in about 40 minutes. You’ll pass by some fabulous volcanic lakes, which make for a great place to relax and enjoy your lunch (if the weather is nice). After reaching the summit of Naka-dake, you can loop back to the saddle below Kuju. Head up to the peak and then all the way back to the parking lot or continue traversing the ridgeline of Mt. Kuju via Hokke-in hot spring (法è�¯é™¢æ¸©æ³‰), which has a nice campground.
When to go: This hike can be done year round if you’ve got some crampons. The peak does get its fair share of winter snow, so make sure the road to the mountain pass is plowed and open before venturing out. The azaleas bloom in early to late May, which brings huge crowds. Autumn is also a great time to visit and winter is seeing increasing crowds as of late, due to the winter hiking boom in Japan. Click here to see the winter scenery and be careful of white-out conditions.
Access: From Hakata station (å�šå¤š), take a JR “Yufuin no mori” limited express train and get off at Bungonakamura station (豊後ä¸æ�‘駅). The train takes about 2 hours and costs 4290 yen. A local train is half the price but takes a whopping 4-1/2 hours. From Nakamura station, take a bus bound for Makinoto-toge (ç‰§ãƒŽæˆ¸å³ ). Buses only run on weekends from late May to late October. Click here to access the schedule. Click on “時刻表”, “ãƒãƒ¼ã‚«ãƒ«æ™‚刻表”, and then “森町〜牧ノ戸線” to download the .pdf file. Another more convenient option might be to take the bus that runs from Beppu to Kumamoto, which stops along the way at Makinoto-toge. For example, if you take the overnight Osaka to Beppu ferry, there’s a direct bus leaving directly from the ferry terminal at 7:07am, arriving at Makinoto at 9:26am. This bus does not run in the winter however, which means between December and March you’ll need to take a bus from Beppu Bus Center (別交通センター) at 8am. Click here for that bus schedule. If coming from Kumamoto, the bus stops at Mt. Aso first before completing the 3-1/2 hour ride to the trailhead. Click here for the bus from the ferry terminal to Makinoto-toge. Sorry if it’s confusing but there are 2 different bus companies that provide bus services.
Level of difficulty: 2 out of 5 (elevation change ~500m).
Distance: 9.6km (3 to 4 hours)
