Hello. It is Morinaga in SMO South Aomori.
Where do you think of the summer resort? surely,
Takachiho Gorges which can go by boat between valleys and
It is selected as "Japan's 100 best water selections", "100 waterfalls in Japan" and "100 forests of water source", and from the coolness that the average water temperature in summer is 13 degrees, the summer resort where "natural coolers" can be enjoyed Kikuchi Valley, known as
I think that you can imagine Unzen city which is famous for "cool, fun. To Unzen."
But the fact is that the coolness of the summer is about the same in Minamioguni-machi where there is Kurokawa Onsen. And there are abundant spots where you can enjoy the natural coolness. By the way, when comparing the temperature difference between Unzen city and Minami Oguni Town, it is like this.
As an aside, if you search on "municipality name + average temperature" at Google, you can check the average temperature every month, so if you have time, why not stop by.
I'd like to introduce the "cool spot" that I'd like to visit because of the summer of such a "cool" small country town.
1. Water temperature 13 degrees even in summer! Tateiwa Water Source
Tateiwa district located in the source of the Chikugo River running through Minami Ooguni Town. Although it is a region with only a small population of only 13 households, there is a water source also certified as "100 famous water of Heisei in Kumamoto prefecture". 1 days 380 tons of water is still sprinkling, it features mellow soft water suitable for cooking rice.
The "Tateiwa Water Source Park" maintained by people in the Tateiwa district also has a water scooping area, many of whom have come to collect water.
Such a rocky water source This river where this water flows. From the water source park to the place about 5 minutes walking, you can get down to the river to play. However, water temperature is insufficiently low and it is cold, so it may not be suitable for swimming.
From the Tateiwa Water Source Park there is a promenade along the clear stream and you can enjoy walking while feeling "Ryo".
On the way there is a vinyl house called "Tateiwa House". We can enjoy sorrounding soup by Saturdays, Sundays, holidays only (Somen noodle 500 yen, set 1000 yen).
The somen which tastes with delicious and cold water of the Tateiwa water source is excellent. By the way, in Minamioguni-machi, it is common to use chrysanthemum as condiment. I was surprised when I ate it for the first time, but now it is Takoyaki where no octopuses are contained.
Tropical cakes and wild vegetable tempura made by the Tateiwara Women's Association and spring water coffee are also included in the set.
Because it is in the house, it is safe even if it rains. It is a popular place for small children.
Please come by all means to the rocky water source that you feel that water is delicious.

2. A place where two waterfalls meet at one place. Couple's waterfall
It is a rare place in Kyushu, where two waterfalls meet at one place. The waterfall on the left is a male waterfall and the right is a girlfall, but the waterfall surrounded by the Oguni cedar becomes a separate summer place wrapped in shade. It is famous as a waterfall of marriage, a place where couples, couples, and young women visit.
In the vicinity of the parking lot, a souvenir of a waterfall and san.
There are various kinds of souvenirs.
Also love takuji and heart shaped ema.
A lot of ema is decorated.
The way to the falls is like this. It is cool at this time.
When you go down the stairs of about 50 steps surrounded by trees, you will arrive at the couple's fall.
Mr. Tora's face Happy Panel etc.

3. There are seven waterfalls on the boardwalk. Unexplored Nanakida
Shimokitake is a secret universe downstream of the river that flows in front of Oda Onsen. There are large and small 7 waterfalls, and it is a mountain stream with a width of about 10m. Because the boardwalk is well maintained, you can walk along the river and see the falls in the immediate vicinity.
The greenery of the trees grows abundantly, and there are plenty of big stones. It is a mysterious atmosphere. In the middle part of the waterfall there is a stone statue of Fudo Royo and Benten wood, but I did not know why the local people were resting there even if asked to the local people · · ·
There is a promenade along the clear stream from the parking lot, and from the shallow there is also a cool spot likely to put hands and feet on clean water. It is a perfect place for a summer walk.
