    佐渡へ流された人について（歴史）であった。 ここで会えるのは順徳天皇・日蓮聖人・世阿弥である。 ただし人形であるが。 他に佐渡関連？の伝説のストーリーが演じられていた。 佐渡の歴史かもしれないがイメージは違った。 子供は楽しめるのかな？

    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Shukunegi 270-2
    This museum is located in a wooden schoolhouse built in 1920 that has been preserved as-is. Inside the building which still bears the vestiges of its days as a schoolhouse are displays for a collection of over 30,000 folk materials that have been designated as important tangible folk-cultural properties, including tools and equipment for shipbuilders. During the Hakusan Maru Matsuri festival held every summer, the Hakusan Maru, Japan’s first fully-restored sengokubune (wooden freight ship) that is on display in the museum, is pulled out under human power and an impressive large white sail that is 155 tatami mats in size is raised.

    There is a video here you can watch in English that describes how the shipping history of Sado made this island such a melting pot of culture from around Japan. You can go inside the boat and see...

    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Aikawakomeyamachi 38-2
    This is a private art museum on Kyomachi-dori Street that richly preserves Sado Kinzan’s history. The elegant building with its red-tiled roof occupies the old Aikawa Court House. Works by the late woodblock print artist and founder of Hangamura Shinichi Takahashi as well as by Hangamura artists are displayed. Visitors would do well to note that the museum is closed from December to February.

    佐渡奉行所からすぐの場所。通りに面した美術館の塀には、美術館が所蔵する版画作品のモニュメントがずらり。 朱鷺やたらい舟、夕日の沈む海など。白黒の作品や少し色彩を加えたもの。それぞれに趣があって、佐渡の思い出を深めてくれるような作品です。

    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Yahata 2041
    The Sado Museum is located on National Route 350 in the Yahata district of Sado City (on Sado Island). There are displays about the development of the gold and silver mine on Sado Island, as well as a “Nature, Archeology, History and Folk Traditions Display Gallery,” an “Arts and Handicrafts Display Gallery,” etc., enabling visitors to get a comprehensive overview of Sado Island’s culture (including its Noh drama tradition), its history, and its natural wonders, etc. Also well worth seeing are the display of sketches by Bakusen Tsuchida (a painter in the Nihonga style who was born on Sado Island), and the rock garden and the former Asashima family residence, a traditional thatch-roofed house, that are located in the Museum grounds.

    佐渡の地理・文化の展示施設。あんまり目玉というものがなかった。時間がない場合はわざわざ訪れることもないだろう。

  • Aikawa Folk Museum

    Niigata Sado-shi Aikawasakashitamachi 20
    A museum where visitors can learn about the Aikawa Area, location of the Sado Gold Mine, a model mine which contributed to the modernization of Japanese industry. Opened in 1956, museum exhibits include minerals from the mine and information on local Sado folk customs. The museum’s elegant building was once used as the Sado branch of the Bureau of Imperial Estates, which managed imperial assets under the Meiji Constitution. Look for the imperial chrysanthemum crests found everywhere on the structure. The museum displays archeological materials concerning the mine and the Sado magistrate’s office, implements used by Aikawa “yujo” ladies of the night as well as works of art featuring them, and folk custom materials from a town which developed along with the mine.

  • Tassha Bathing Beach
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Niigata Sado-shi Tassha
    A beach that gets its name from a Japanese folktale called Sanshodayu. The mother and her son called Zushio reunitedon the beach and were pleased to see each other in good health (tassha) in the story. It's on a broad and quiet cove on Senkaku Bay with amazingly transparent water. As it's protected by a weir and wave-breaking tetrapods, it remains relatively calm even on days with high waves so you can still have fun in the sea. Because it's just 10 minutes from downtown Aikawa City, the popular beach gets crowded with families and young people in season. The beach is gravel rather than fine sand, so wearing beach sandals comes recommended.

  • Tsugamijima Park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Niigata Sado-shi Ryotsu Ogawa
    This park encompasses an island which belongs to the district of Ogawa, a community which thrived as a port for small cargo vessels from the Edo period onward. Tsugamijima Shrine, a Shinto shrine which enshrines guardian gods of the sea, stands on the island beyond the red-lacquered Tsugami Bridge. The main shrine building, situated past the torii gate, was widely worshipped and thought to provide protection to the local cargo ships sailing the sea, and to grant business prosperity. It is said that the shrine was once located behind the settlement but was moved to the island in the Genroku period, where it still enshrines the three ocean gods known as the Sumiyoshi Sanjin to this day. The Zenpoji Temple stands behind the shrine. During the area’s age of light cargo sailing vessels, the temple served as a private lighthouse, and today it continues to watch over the community and the people who come here to shore fish.

    本当は閉館中だったのかな。 ただ、この日は、たまたま近くの小学生が団体で絵を描きに来ていて、係の人がいたので頼んで館内を見せてもらいました。 展示は塩田風景のジオラマや漁をする中型のろかい舟も人間が乗り込んだ姿を再現してけっこうな迫力。意外な見どころがある博物館です。
