Speaking of summer in Omuta, the first thing that comes to mind is the "Daijayama" (giant snake float)! The sight of these gigantic giant snake floats, measuring approximately 10m in length, 5m in height, and weighing up to 3 tons, parading through the city while spewing smoke and fire, is truly a spectacular sight! The rumbling rhythm of the drums and the chants of "Yoi-sa! Yoiya-sa!" create a whirlwind of excitement in the venue! This traditional event, which dates back to the Edo period and continues for over 300 years, is a unique festival that combines water god worship and Gion faith. A quick note: 📝 This year, the festival was partially suspended due to a gas leak on the second day. 📌 Basic Information Summary Date: The fourth Saturday and Sunday of July every year (July 26th and 27th in 2025) Venue: Taishomachi Street (Taishomachi Festival Square), Omuta City Center Access: Approximately 5 minutes' walk from JR and Nishitetsu Omuta Station #Daijayama #OmutaFestival #SummerTradition #LimitedEvent

Jorinji Temple in Imayama, Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture Every year during this rainy season, the Hydrangea Festival is held. It has a set period, so it's best to check before you go! There are many blue and purple hydrangeas, and the mountain hydrangeas seen from the garden are very beautiful. Even when the hydrangeas are not in bloom, the garden is very well maintained. There is a free parking lot nearby, so don't worry. There are also spots to see Garyuuume plum blossoms in the area, so I recommend going there to enjoy Haru😊

Miike Port, where the sunset is incredibly beautiful, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. This 'miraculous spectacle' can only be seen during two periods each year, in January and November. The 'Path of Light' stretches from the end of the Miike Port route, through the lock gate, and finally reaches the Miike Port Observatory, almost forming a straight line. When the sunset direction is from 0 degrees north latitude to 247 degrees east, the sunset extends straight through the center of the lock gate like a hummingbird's beak, creating a magnificent 'Path of Light'. This phenomenon lasts for about a week. The Miike Port Observatory is not only a popular dating spot for watching beautiful sunsets but also a popular location for photographing the sunset and the surrounding factory clusters. Miike Port Observatory: Address: 1 Shinko-machi, Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture

#Fukuoka Attractions Taiyoken, located on a quiet residential street, is definitely the most unforgettable Japanese food experience I have ever had. This seemingly low-key and simple old Western restaurant actually has the long-standing Japanese food culture. It not only allows us to enjoy the ultimate delicious experience here, but also allows us to explore the origins of this unique food culture. The wooden floors, tatami seats, and decorations hung with fishing nets and anchors all reveal the human touch of ocean-going fishermen. We sat down behind the half-open sliding door, with a large plate of unique but meaningful appetizers in front of us, which seemed to be the beginning of this Western food journey. The most amazing thing is the restaurant's signature top-quality steak dish. At first glance, the portion of this main dish is not surprising, but after taking a bite, the tender and juicy texture of the beef, which is overflowing with sweet aroma, will instantly make you realize what the truly first-class steak flavor is! It turns out that this dish is the old signature dish that Taiyangxuan is proud of. It is a creative dish that the owner introduced from Europe but has improved over the years to have a unique flavor.

I went to Omuta City Zoo ^_^ It's a fun place for little kids, but I wouldn't recommend it for the elderly or people with bad legs❗️Because there are steep uphill and downhill slopes, even in a wheelchair it requires a lot of physical strength❗️ #Zoo #FukuokaTourism
