    This shrine was founded in 940 with the transfer and enshrinement of a division of the tutelary deity of Kyoto's Gion Shrine (now called Yasaka Shrine).

    徳川家康が「上杉を討つか、石田を討つか」を決した「小山評定」の舞台となった本陣跡があります。神社の創建は10世紀、藤原秀衡によるものであり歴史を見つめてきた社です。長い参道を過ぎると時節柄茅の輪くぐりがありました。広い境内はゆったりとしていて落ち着いてお参りできました。

    Have fun picking Tochiotome and Tochihime strawberries at this fruit farm. Along with picking fruit you can make Christmas cakes with your chosen strawberries or, make miso during the winter months. You can pick and eat all the strawberries you'd like in a 30-minute period but please be aware that if you'd like to pick the Tochihime strawberries advance reservation is required.

    館長さんはとても感じの良い人でしたよ。写真も撮ってくれました。とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。懐かしいものばかりで、本当にタイムスリップしたようでした。 ただ、入館料が高いのが、残念です。入ろうと思っても諦める人が多いのでは…。是非、もう少し安くして、多くの人を楽しませてください。

    Tochigi Sano-shi Kuzuu Higashi 1-11-15
    This fossil museum presents fossils discovered in Sano City and provides information on the types of minerals and wildlife in the area. Exhibits include a type of limestone found in the Kuzu area called Nabeyama limestone, examples of limestone from across the country, and animal fossils found in limestone caves and fissures. Limestone is widely found in the Kuzu region, and the area is also thought to have once been a habitat for elephants, rhinoceroses, and other large animals. The Japanese rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus nipponicus) skeleton displayed in the center of the first floor is the only one which has been found anywhere in Japan that is almost completely intact. Other exhibits include limestone fossils of Fusulinida and sea lilies which lived during the distant Permian period.

    お勧めの文化施設です。特に化石や古代に興味を持つ人、そして子供には十分に楽しめる施設で、しかも無料です。葛生は石灰岩の街でした。たくさんの化石や鍾乳洞があって、ゾウやサイ、シカ、クマ他の動物化石が発見されています。とてもコンパクトですが、内容も充実しており、見ごたえもあります。市内、県内、そして県外の方々も楽しめますよ。

    Fujioka cho, Tochigi-shi, Tochigi prefecture
    Watarase, the nation’s largest reservoir, is nestled within four prefectures: Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, and Ibaraki.

Encircled by reed grasses, the whole area is a haven for foxes, badgers, wild birds, insects, and other wildlife. Visitors enjoy cycling, fishing, water sports, bird watching, and other activities. The Watarase Reservoir was registered in the Ramsar Convention in 2012.

    Tochigi Tochigi-shi Kauemoncho 1-12
    This memorial museum celebrates the Okada family, a family whose history dates back over 550 years and which was once one of the leading families of Tochigi City. The museum's expansive grounds sprawl across some 13,000 square meters; inside, the museum displays treasures passed down through the generations in the Okada family. Said to have moved to the area from distant Sanjo in Kyoto, in the Edo period the family is said to have provided leadership in creating the foundations of daily life and to have contributed to the building of a stable community. Later, the Tokugawa clan gave the area the title of Kauemon Shinden Village, which then became Kauemon Shinden Town (now Kauemon-cho). Visitors can pass through an imposing gate and view magnificent folding screens, bridal wear dating to the Genroku era (1688-1704), and a complete set of implements used for flower viewing parties in the mid-Edo period.

    御代官様が暮らしていた屋敷を、そのまま光景している施設です。栃木駅からはかなり遠いので、レンタサイクルがいいでしょう。中は、江戸時代の重厚で歴史ある光景が広がっています。

    Tochigi Tochigi-shi Yamatocho 4-18
    This museum consists of a kura storehouse and residence which belonged to the Sakakura, a family which operated a pawn broker business in the Edo period. Inside this 200-year-old compound, the museum displays historical items from the city, pieces by artists connected to the area, and stone tools excavated within city limits.

The compound is a rare, historically valuable example of period architecture, including the storehouse' entry, which has a rat guard, and steep steps with anti-slip measures.

    Tochigi Utsunomiya-shi Hanawada 5-1-19
    "This Shinto shrine is dedicated to late Edo period Confucian scholar Gamo Kunpei. The shrine's grounds sprawl north of the Tochigi Prefecture Government Building, and monuments commemorating Gamo Kunpei's achievements and his posthumous conferral of rank, as well as a seated statue of the scholar can be found inside their bounds. Gamo Kunpei is believed to be a descendent of Aizu Domain lord Gamo Ujisato and wrote the ""Sanryoshi,"" which recorded his research into imperial tombs across the country. Gamo Kunpei was famously the first person to use the term ""keyhole-shaped tumulus."" Each year in April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the shrine holds a ritual children's sumo tournament; meanwhile, in August on the night of the 15th day of the eight-lunar month, the shrine holds a moon-viewing event."

    Tochigi Sano-shi Wakamatsucho
    This mini museum is located inside the Palport plaza in front of Sano Station. Inside the tourist information center on the first floor, the museum displays models of Sano ramen served in some 30 establishments in the area. The bowls used are actual bowls from the various restaurants. Each is a realistic replica of each restaurant's vaunted Sano ramen. Informational cards next to each model present information such as the restaurant's address, business days, number of parking spaces, and noodle characteristics, meaning the museum can also be used to help you choose which restaurant to go to. Visitors rave that just looking at the models will make you hungry, and another nice thing about it is that it's free.

    This exhibition facility located in Yamato-cho, Tochigi City makes use of the Tsukada family's storehouse. They were prominent lumber dealers during the Edo period (1603-1868), and this hall displays some of their important items. There is also an exhibit featuring a robotic dolls performing the tragic story about Uzuma River, and a robotic grandmother that tells stories while plays the shamisen (a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument). The facility has a restaurant, too.

    蔵の街の象徴といえる鯉のぼりの架かる川に沿って、この塚田歴史伝説館の壁が１００メートル以上続きます。 入口でチケットを買った直後に入る部屋では、三味線語りをするおばあさん人形とそれを眺めるおじさんの人形がとてもリアルでした。これがインパクトのピークだった気がします。最後の人形劇はそれほど印象的ではありませんでした。 とは言っても栃木市に来たらこちらを訪問するのはオプションだと思います。

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
