It was super filling and totally hit the spot! My friends said the curry was delicious, too! ✨ There’s even a dog run behind the shop!

Firefly Festival in Dongfeng Village: The Magic of Summer Nights Returns — traveler post in Toho

Firefly Festival in Dongfeng Village: The Magic of Summer Nights Returns

The Firefly Festival (held on the first Saturday of June) takes place at the terraced rice field waterside park in Dongfeng Village. This event celebrates the successful restoration of firefly habitats along the Baozhu Mountain River and the Daifei River, both now recognized as the best spots in the region to view fireflies. Since 1987, following decades of local efforts to beautify the rivers and nurture fireflies, the festival has been held annually. During the festival, visitors can enjoy the enchanting sight of fireflies lighting up the summer night sky. The event also features local food stalls, with herb-roasted chicken being especially popular among attendees. The participation of villagers adds to the lively atmosphere, creating a warm and welcoming festival environment. A free shuttle service is provided between the temporary parking lot and the festival site for guests' convenience. The Firefly Festival offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of nature, local culture, and community spirit. Visitors can look forward to an unforgettable evening surrounded by the glow of fireflies and the hospitality of the villagers.

Iwaya Shrine 📍Fukuoka — traveler post in Toho

Iwaya Shrine 📍Fukuoka

"Iwaya Shrine" is said to be a very powerful spot. It is also a power spot. The rock here is named "Hojuseki" after the Buddhist term "jewel that grants any wish" and is enshrined as a sacred object. There are many stairs, so you should definitely wear sneakers. Also, it is a little dark, so it is dangerous if you do not come during the day. I came here in light rain, but I slipped and fell, so you should be careful even on rainy days, but the atmosphere is more humid on rainy days and it looks good in photos. 📍Iwaya Shrine Address: 838-1701, Oaza Hojuyama, Take, Toho Village, Asakura District, Fukuoka Prefecture #FuritabiWinter

Akizuki Castle Ruins

In December 2021, Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture, has the famous "Akitsuki Castle Site". The maple leaves and ginkgo trees have fallen; the bare and withered cherry blossom trees are still beautiful! Many businesses in the quiet ancient street are closed! Friendly reminder: parking lot, ranging from 300 yen, 400 yen, 500 yen!

Fukuoka Tower

I went at Friday night, but it was still not crowded. The views are really beautiful and it’s worth to go if you’re in the area.

Taisenkaku

This is a small city away from Fukuoka. It is mainly a family-oriented hot spring resort. You can see families of all sizes and the elderly come to stay and eat. It is a quiet mountain village. I can't believe there are so many people!
