I was attracted by the soft serve ice cream ornament, but it's actually a bakery. The shop is run by a dog lover, and they also have bread for dogs. This time I had the round bread soft serve. The bread, made with yeast from peaches in the garden, was slightly sweet and delicious. The soft serve ice cream made with Aso milk was refreshingly sweet and easy to eat.

#Fukuoka Attractions Coming to this magical and stunning scenery of Dongshan is like stepping into a magnificent landscape painting carved by nature. Climbing up along the winding and rugged hiking trail, you will be surrounded by strangely shaped stone peaks, some of which are tall and steep, some of which are low and twisted, forming a unique and colorful mountain landscape. When passing through a narrow mountain path, a huge natural stone cave suddenly appeared next to it, as if it was a natural tunnel that directly cut through the mountain. From the entrance of the cave, one can actually see the mountains on the opposite side. We carefully explored the cave and found that it was deep and wide. The naturally formed stalactites looked like rows of natural sculptures, which was extremely spectacular. Passing another cliff area, we suddenly saw stone sculptures of giants sitting in a row, with their bodies in different postures and looking lifelike. Looking into the distance, the outlines of the peaks in the distance are like huge stone lions sitting upright. Looking from afar, the entire stone mountain stands like a giant statue carved naturally. The scenery is undoubtedly a unique wonder. We slowly wandered among the magnificent landscapes created by nature, deeply impressed by the uncanny workmanship of nature, and became one with these strange mountains and rocks, appreciating their grandeur and eternal cultural connotations.

🌳Tozan🌳 Yamaga, Ashiya-cho, Onga-gun, Fukuoka Parking available It is recommended to go at low tide. There is a cave 10m high, 12m wide, and 30m deep, formed by years of weathering. The surrounding area is lined with flat rocks called Senjojiki, and many fishermen can be seen, and at low tide, families can enjoy playing on the rocks. A large white rock spreads out against the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, and over the years, it has been eroded by the rough waves crashing on the shore, creating a landscape that looks like a pile of rocks. The sunset sinking into the horizon is truly a "breathtaking view." It's a strange feeling to see what is beyond the gaping hole in the mountain. Currently, it is not possible to go inside. #FukuokaTourism #FukuokaTourism #KitakyushuTourism #KitakyushuTourism #Fukuoka #KitakyushuTourism #Sakura2024
