June 3 (Sat) to June 1 (Sun)
Notice of implementation of "Crane Wintering Grounds Utilization Adjustment Project" in Izumi City Crane Migration Area / Izumi Crane Festival　

　Izumi City is the largest wintering ground for cranes in Japan, with over 1 Hooded Cranes and White-naped Cranes migrating here every year. In recent years, about 9% of the world's total population of Hooded Cranes and about 5% of the White-naped Cranes migrate here, making it an important location internationally. In order to promote proper conservation and management of cranes and the creation of new communities that coexist with cranes, a project will be implemented from Saturday, January 1rd to Sunday, February 23th to restrict entry to the use adjustment area and ask for the optional payment of a wintering ground environmental conservation contribution.

　The target of the use adjustment is mainly tourists who are interested in observing cranes, etc. After attending a lecture at the Crane Observation Center, they will travel the designated route by a set means (private car, minibus tour, personal car, etc.). In addition, during the use adjustment period, we ask that you pay a voluntary "wintering ground environmental conservation contribution" to be used for environmental conservation of the crane wintering ground, strengthening of the disease prevention system, and protection and management of the cranes. As a benefit, those who pay the contribution will receive free admission to the Crane Observation Center and Crane Park Izumi, as well as the use of private cars and minibus tours.

 

　In addition, the Izumi Crane Festival will be held for four days from January 1th (Sat) to 30st (Sun) and February 31th (Sat) to 2th (Sun). At the Crane Observation Center and Crane Park Izumi, there will be take-out food from local restaurants, stalls selling local specialties and souvenirs, and a mini tour bus run by local guides, among other fun events.

　Please see the website for details on usage adjustment areas and information about other events.

[From Yoka Guide] ~ Thinking back to this day 79 years ago ~

The hot days continue, how are you all doing? It's been hot in Kagoshima since morning... but when I watched the national weather forecast on TV, the temperature in Kagoshima today was lower than in Fukuoka and Kansai... is that really true!? But it's still hot all over the country. Everyone, please be careful of heatstroke.

Well, there is a report that has been attracting attention since yesterday. A statement by table tennis player Hayata Hina, who also performed very well at the Paris Olympics. When asked what she wanted to do now, she said that she wanted to go to the Anpanman Museum and the Kagoshima Kamikaze Museum. Many of you may have already seen it on the news.

In fact, there are three facilities related to the kamikaze attacks in Kagoshima. Among them, the one that is well known even to people living outside the prefecture is the "Chiran Peace Museum" in Minamikyushu City. I covered it a long time ago, and I couldn't stop crying the whole time (although I should have stayed calm while I was working...).
It's a must-see tourist spot, introduced in the limited space of the "Yoka Guide Kagoshima" tourist book (free paper). When people ask me "What are some recommended tourist spots in Kagoshima?" I make sure to tell them "You must visit this place!!" I hope that Hayata will encourage more people to visit.

If you have a copy of the free paper version of "Yoka Guide," I would like you to read the article, but the information is also available on the "Yoka Guide" website, so please take a look (sorry it's not a direct link though...(._.))

#Chiran Special Attack Peace Hall
https://yokaguide.com/minami_kyushu/1725.html

The other two kamikaze-related facilities are located in Bansei, Minamisatsuma City, and Kanoya City. If you are traveling by car, I think it is easy to approach from Chiran. If you have the opportunity, please stop by.

You can get to Chiran by bus from Kagoshima Chuo Station or Kagoshima Airport, but it may be easier to travel by car (rental car). It takes about an hour and a half by car from Kagoshima city, depending on the time of day. However, please note that congestion and traffic jams are expected during the peak tourist season.

Additionally, for everyone living in eastern Japan in particular, please be aware that as of the 15th, a typhoon is approaching.
