Red rice is coming to の venue

Original Text

There is a legend related to the introduction of red rice, and it is said that it is a shrine dedicated to Tamayorihime, who is said to have brought five grains of seeds from Kaimiya and sowed them on Tanegashima. There is also a red rice museum near the entrance, which will be helpful. In Japan, rice, which is said to have been introduced from the Korean Peninsula via Tsushima, seems to have spread all over Japan, but for the first time I learned that this red rice was also transmitted from the south. It's interesting.

A shrine where rocket officials also come to visit

Original Text

It seems to be a shrine that people concerned also visit before the rocket launches. There is also a parking lot at the shrine, but there is also a parking lot at the Akamekan across the road. The shrine is a short walk away, but there is Homan Pond over there, and you can see it from another place. When I visited, it happened that the launch of the H2A rocket was postponed and it was decided tomorrow, but many people wearing work clothes came to visit.
