    Tochigi Pref. Ashikagashi Hasamachou 607
    A full spectrum of flowers bloom in this flower park, located in Tochigi Prefecture. One particularly famous specimen is the wisteria said to be over 140 years old, and designated as a Prefectural Natural Monument. Many visitors come from all over the country during peak season when Japan’s largest wisteria and white Japanese wisteria bloom and form a tunnel. In winter, you’ll find one of the largest illumination displays in Kanto, with four million light bulbs.

    I think it is better to visit maybe end of April. Even though we enjoyed the garden very much but most of the flowers already bloomed and maybe some with leftover late bloomers.

    Tochigi Pref. Shimotsugagunmibumachi Kuniya 2300
    "This toy museum is located in the Mibu-Machi Comprehensive Park, and has a cute appearance reminiscent of a medieval castle. The museum houses play areas with slides and play equipment with net, etc. and also displays approximately 9,000 valuable toys, including those made of tin plate. You will also find a corner where you can actually play with toys, a corner where you can create your own original ""Licca-chan"" doll, and a ""Railway Model Room"" with one of the largest dioramas in the north Kanto region, making this museum a place where both adults and children can have great fun all day long."

    お天気悪く家で過ごしたくない日は、車を走らせてでも来る価値有り！プラレールやシルバニアなど子供が喜ぶおもちゃが時間無制限で使いたい放題！室内型アスレチックや乳幼児が周りを気にせず遊べるフロアもあり一日中いても全く飽きない施設です！

    Tochigi Pref. Ashikagashi Komabachou 1542
    This world leading porcelain art museum's collection includes works by Imari, Nabeshima, and Kakiemon and is surrounded by 100,000 square meters of natural greenery. The main building is characterized by its white plaster walls and with over 400 exhibits you can see their entire collection on display. There's also the history hall with its porcelain tiled walls, which has a showroom of large porcelain pots by Imari and an observation deck on the top-most floor.

    Nice and beautiful museum. Lots of porcelaine and informative. However, not suitable if you are going in for more knowledge on porcelaine. They have great pieces and history on it. But no translation...

    こちらは足利の歴史や文化、自然に親しみ、楽しみ、そして学んでいただく施設として、平成15年3月にオープンしたそうです。 無料で入場でき、展示物としては機織り機が素晴らしかったです。 また、大正末期から昭和初期にかけて一世を風靡した「足利銘仙」を中心とした着物の着付け体験できます。

    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。

    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.

    台風19号に寄る水害の災害ボランティアで栃木県佐野市にやって来た。 佐野駅前に佐野らーめんミニ博物館があると言うので立ち寄った。 佐野駅前交流プラザぱるぽーと １階にあり入場無料の施設。館内に は、市内30店舗のラーメンサンプルが並び、各店の住所や営業日、麺、 スープ、具材の特徴などが掲げられ、らーめん店選びの参考になりま すが、ここでラーメンは食べられなかったのが残念。

    Tochigi Pref. Tochigishi Yamatochou 2-16
    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。

    Tochigi Ashikaga-shi Midoricho 2-3768
    This art museum stands at the southern edge of Ashikaga Park. The museum displays the artwork as well as the personal effects of Tazaki Soun, a Southern School painter who was active in Ashikaga from the end of the Edo period through the Meiji period. Known as a late Edo period loyalist painter, Soun studied under artists such as Kanai Ushu and his works have been highly praised outside Japan. Soun was also chosen to be the first Imperial Household Artist, once the highest honor for an artist in Japan, and the museum stores, conserves, and presents his artwork and personal effects. A thatched roof residence believed to have been the home of Soun stands in the museum's garden, and visitors can take in a peaceful atmosphere cut off from the hustle and bustle of the everyday.

    足利公園の中、横にある美術館です。入場にはお金がかかりますが、ちょっと休憩がてらに夜にはいいかもしれません。

    The Ryusenji Temple, a sub temple of the Enryakuji Temple, was established in 1205.

The museum's standing exhibition consists of famous works by artists such as Shiko Munakata, Tawaraya Sotatsu, and Taikan Yokoyama, and all are welcome to come in contact with the culture and history of Ashikaga City. The temple grounds bustle with visitors when it holds a Daruma doll market and a lucky Garamaki ceremony from New Year's Day to the Setsubun celebration. Said to ward away evil and misfortune, the temple is visited by many worshippers.

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.
