<p>KYUSHU is a blessed island with rich soil, warm weather, and the location surround by sea, all of which eventually make it the FOOD PARADICE !! (beside being ONSEN PARADICE!!)<br />
Now `CHISAN-CHISHO&#8217; means, producted and consumed in local town, a key phrase to characterise KYUSU culture.</p>
<p>Out of many wonderful places, Tenryo Hita, (<em>Tenryo</em> means the town directlly contolled by EDO government during Edo Period, 17C to 19C), an hour distance from Fukuoka Airport by express bus, enjoys WONDERFUL LOCAL LIFE with the blessing of nature, such as vefitables, fruits (especially Japanese citrus like YUZU, KABOSU), high quality soy sauce (thanks to good natural water!), and so on.</p>
<hr />
<p>Konohana Garden is where you can enjoy Hita life including an organic buffe restaurant.</p>

<p>As mentioned, Hita is blessed with pure natural water called `Hita Tenryo Sui&#8217;, which contributes to the production of good soy sauce, sake and <em>shochu</em> (distilled spirit), beer, and lemon soda.</p>
