    Niigata Joetsu-shi Gochi 2-15-15

    小さいけど展示方法が工夫されているというのは全くそのとおりで、他のレビュアーの方が散々書かれていることなので割愛させて頂く。 日本海水槽はこれを考案した人は人智を超えて神がかっている。まったくもって素晴らしいの一言。一見の価値あり。 訪れたときには鳥インフルエンザの影響でペンギンがおらず、アザラシも見ることができなかったが、これらの生き物のフル展示の状態時は少し満足度は上がると思う。 感想と...

    Nigata Pref. Jouetsushi Kasugayamamachi 1-2-8
    This museum located at the bottom of the former site of Kasugayama Castle is a 20-minute walk from Kasugayama Station on the Echigo Tokimeki Railway. The mud-colored building, built in the style of Japanese-style homes, is a place where Jomon Period artifacts unearthed in Joetsu City are researched, stored, and exhibited. Guests can watch the museum's staff catalog and restore artifacts or try their hand at a number of activities including making magatama (an ancient style of curved beads). Due to its location close to Kasugayama Castle, the castle of the famous warring states period warlord Uesugi Kenshin, it is also the headquarters of the Uesugi Omotenashi Bushotai, a group of historical reenactors.

    日本百名城巡りの一環として初めて行きました。遺跡の発掘をしている事務所とおもっていたら、春日山城の展示をやっていました。上杉謙信について立派な展示があり、年表やイラストを交え分かりやすかったです。しかも入場無料なのがすごいですね

    Niigata Itoigawa-shi Tonami 903-1

    風雨強い悪天候で見通し悪く、高架下にあるため、国道からの入口が判りにくく通り過ぎそうになりました。 おさかなセンターにはアンコウやもずくなど新鮮な海産物が並んでいましたが、中で食べたカニ汁はごくフツウでした。レストピアで食べたアンコウ汁には小さなアンコウがほんの少しだけ入ってました。
