    和倉温泉は特に観光するところが無かったので辻口さんの美術館に寄ってみました。美術館というにはちょっと無理があります。チョコレートや飴細工の大きな作品が数点飾ってある1室があるのみ。わざわざ見に行くほどでもなかったです。無料でした。 隣のカフェは夕方に行ったので閉店間近で店内で食べれずホテルに持ち帰りました。 人気のお菓子はどれですか?人気のケーキはどれですか?の私の問いに案内もなく商品名をボソッと...

    Ishikawa Nanao-shi Notojima Koda Machi 125-10

The museum also holds special exhibitions which introduce all kinds of glass art. In the museum's garden, visitors can take in glass art as well as seasonal scenery and the sea off of Noto.

    As you can see, the building is very unique. They also have shop building which remind you of spacecraft but unfortunately the shop is closed by now. I think it would be better if they have shop or...

    大人の入館料350円。小さな美術館で相応。 七尾出身の長谷川等伯の展示は常設ではなく、ビデオだけ鑑賞。少し残念。 桃山時代を代表する焼物として、織部焼と唐津焼の展示をしていた。期間毎にテーマ変わるそう。 和倉温泉の寄り道にのんびり鑑賞するのもあり。

    能登半島は、学生時代、個人山行で、槍・穂高-新穂高温泉迄縦走し、能登半島のゼミの合宿に参加したことがあります。今回、上越市から金沢に滞在を、急遽、能登半島を少し責めるということで、久麻加夫都阿良加志比古神社に直行した後、近くに中島町のお祭り会館が目に入り、入館料を払い、見学しました。ちょっと見るつもりが、郷土史?の説明員「お熊甲祭り」説明を受け、恐縮しています。まず祭りの伝統衣装や、大きな天狗など...
