Currently, after 170 years have passed since its creation, the precious building is towards to the Tokaido, so it was designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 1998.

    昔ながらの旅籠の看板が出ています。岡部宿は江戸から21番目の宿場町だったそうです。天保の大火で焼失したそうで、再建されましたので江戸後期の建造物らしいです。現在は、国登録文化財であり”歴史資料館”にもなっています。 台所には、昔のままの御釜やお櫃、お膳などが並べられています。 町人の部屋と武士の宿泊する棟は別になっています。やはり、町人の部屋とは雰囲気と質もかなり違いますね。 旅館の裏にはお庭...

    The museum is located in Senkashira Station of Oigawa Railway, where various parts of the steam locomotive are on display, and also has a panel exhibition about the steam locomotive and materials from the time when Oigawa Railway was in operation.

    A museum located a three-minute walk from Sessokyo Onsen Station on the Oigawa Railway.

The museum's collection includes samples of 17,000 plants and animals collected before the construction of the Nagashima Dam, so that visitors can learn about the mystic ecosystem of Oku-Oi.

    入館料200円を支払い、我只一人、じっくりと、川根本町の自然、山林、民俗資料等、見学できました。我が家も、昔、植林、下刈り、間伐、伐採、下線運搬など山林業をやっていたので、下線用具や、大きなのこぎり(木挽き)は、我が家にもあり、見比べてみました。猪、鹿、熊など剥製が良かったです。

    Shizuoka Yaizu-shi Naka Minato 2-6-13
    A museum, located a five-minute walk from JR Yaizu Station, that explains the history of the fishing industry in Yaizu. Fishing has been a major industry in Yaizu since the Tokugawa Period (1615-1867), and the museum displays actual implements used in former times, as well as the small wooden boats that were used when fishing for bonito near the shore, the bamboo baskets that held livestock husbandry sardines to use as bait for the bonito, and other things that give visitors a sense of history. Other exhibits include mock-ups of the bridge of a contemporary bonito fishing boat and of the kind of a house that a fisher family would have lived in at the end of the Meiji Period (early 1900s). All these exhibits will serve as an enjoyable introduction to the history of the Yaizu fisher folk who lived their lives on the sea.

    2階立ての建物です。入館料は300円です。漁業で使われるものが展示されています。昔の漁業で使われていた道具は今ではなかなか見られない貴重な資料です。延縄漁業、一本釣り漁法のポスターは分かりやすくよかったです。

    掛川観光の帰りに寄った小さな博物館。 小さな町の博物館で、地域のお祭りの際に使用する山車の台車部分がメイン展示となっている。他にも農機具や過去この地を走り廃線となった駿遠線のアイテムがいくつかある。 入口に入ると呼び鈴が鳴り、大渕農村環境改善センター・アイクから管理人が来てくれるが、付いてまわるので、自分のペースではゆっくり見る事はできない。

    こんなところに油田があったとは驚きですが、この油田の石油は良質なもので精製しなくても、そのまま車のガソリンタンクに入れればエンジンが動くというものです。 資料館はさほど資料も少なくて少し残念でした。 石油が輸入できなかった太平洋戦争中はどのように利用したのかなど知りたかったです。

Shizuoka Areas

around-area-map

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
