Tsumons is a wine and sweets specialty

shop in Takasago. The owner, Yuki Kat-

suki, is also a pastry chef and a som-

melier. She opened Tsumons this March after

working at a soufflé and cheesecake shop for

15 years. Located on a very common back-

street, the one-story building with an exqui-

site facade is easily recognizable. Stop by to

get some wine and sweets to go, or stay and

relax in one of the softly-lit counter seats. For

a mid-afternoon glass of bubbly, a light meal

or a little dessert and wine after you eat, Tsu-

mons, which opens at 3pm, offers something

for any occasion. You can choose your own

drinks and sweets, but we recommend you

start with Tsumons' trademark soufflé and

a carefully matched wine. Made fresh right

before your eyes, the soufflé takes about 30

minutes to make, which gives you plenty of

In a well documented move, Australian rugby superstar Nick

Cummins finds himself in Fukuoka on a contract playing for the

top-league team Coca Cola Red Sparks. Formerly with the West-

ern Force and tagged to represent the Wallabies in the Rugby

World Cup 2015, Nick opted to play in Japan for a new experience

and personal reasons. But the “Honey Badger” as he’s known back

home, comes to Fukuoka with a great attitude and a good dose of his

trademark cheeky Aussie charm. A busy training and game sched-

ule with the Red Sparks is punctuated by fishing and cycling around

town to look for good places to “strap the feed bag on.” Although

less physical than in the Southern Hemisphere, Nick finds Japa-

nese rugby to be faster - in fact he’s already lost a few kilos keeping

up with his new teammates. “But the blokes don’t lack any heart.

They’re very courageous." Ready to give it his all, Nick brings a few of

his personal mottos to Fukuoka including “When in doubt, flat out”,

and “Up the guts and into ‘em”. Fukuoka Now replies “On ‘ya mate!”

YAKUSHIMA ISLANDA WALK INTO JAPAN’S PAST

Yakushima is a small island to the south

of Kagoshima, nicknamed the Alps of

the Ocean. Yakushima has 45 moun-

tain peaks, ancient cedar forests, numerous

waterfalls, ocean-side onsens and a thriving

community of craftspeople who carve home-

wares out of cedar and create shiny pottery

pieces glazed with coral and shell.

There are two main groups of tourists who

make the journey to Yakushima. The first

group are the Japanese hikers who come from

around Japan to experience the ancient cedar

forests. The main attraction for this group is

a 7,000 year old tree named Jomon-sugi (a

giant cedar tree that is said to have started

its life in the Jomon Era). The second group

is a more international mix of animation en-

thusiasts who come to Yakushima in search

of the landscapes which influenced Hayao Mi-

yazaki's (Studio Ghibli) film Princess Mono-

noke. The main attraction for this group is a

hiking trail called Shiratani Unsuikyo, which

takes you through moss covered rainforests

filled with monkeys and deer.

The mountains of Yakushima are both wel-

coming and foreboding. There are many tales

about the gods that live in the Okudake Moun-

tains (Yakushima’s central mountain region)

and the islanders have climbed these moun-

tains since ancient times to take part in a

traditional ritual known as 'Takemairi'. The

largest mountain in Yakushima is Mt Miya-

noura-dake – Kyushu’s highest mountain,

sitting 1,935m above sea level. Yakushima's

ancient cedar forests were listed as a World

Heritage Site in 1993.

Walking forward along the Ohkabu Moun-

tain to Jomon-sugi trail feels like going back

in time. Each step gets us further back into

Japan’s history. You start in 1997 at the place

made famous by the Princess Mononoke film,

then step back to 1940 walking along the rail-

way circuit from Kusugawa Wakare, the Ohka-

bu Mountain trail takes you right back to the

1500's with the history surrounding the re-

mains of Wilson’s Stump and with each step

you are rewinding time right back to 5000BC

when Jomon-sugi is believed to have started

life in the Jomon Era. The walk to Jomon-sugi

is a direct link into the past and embarking on

this hike is to embrace the unique history of

Japan. Read more online.

FUKUOKA CITY BULLETINSELECTED NEWS TOPICS BY FUKUOKA NOW FROM FUKUOKA CITY’S SHISEI DAYORIFUKUOKA CITY BULLETIN

◊ Hakata Port Tower Turns 50Hakata Port Tower, the 100m red tower

located on Hakata Wharf, turns 50 in Oc-

tober. One of the six towers designed by

architect Tachu Naito—others include To-

kyo Tower and the second Tsutenkaku in

Osaka—it opened in 1964, the year of the

Tokyo Olympics. The observation deck lo-

cated at 70m affords beautiful panoramic

views of Hakata Bay and the city. It is open

10:00~22:00 (last entrance 21:40), and

admission is free.

◊ Innovation Studio FukuokaInnovation Studio Fukuoka, one of the

City's Special Zone initiatives, is set to be-

gin. The project aims to support new ideas

and services that can generate new busi-

nesses "for a better community and a bet-

ter life". The City will accept applications

from residents, and those chosen will par-

ticipate in workshops and field work with

local companies in an effort to turn their

ideas into reality. The project will operate

from the Startup Cafe, which is scheduled

to open in October. Inquiries: Planning &

Coordination Department (092-711-4863).

◊ Let’s Use Public TransportCity Hall has un-

dertaken many ef-

forts to encourage

people to use public

transportation. It has promoted the adop-

tion of low-floor buses and has teamed up

with Aeon Malls in Ito, Kashiihama, Karatsu,

Chikushino and Fukutsu as well as Konoha

Mall Hashimoto to offer park-and-ride ser-

vice. Inquiries: Public Transportation Pro-

motion Section (092-733-5405).

◊ Private Companies Help Maintain Street LampsFukuoka City has

joined forces with

local companies to

maintain street lamps, the first such initia-

tive in Kyushu. The City is responsible for

around 36,000 street lamps, which cost

¥600 million a year to operate and maintain.

Under this new scheme, partner companies

pay ¥20,000 a year per lamp in exchange for

permission to post their names and contact

information on the poles. They are respon-

sible for visual inspections and must contact
