    日本百名城の一つである小谷城を訪問した際、夕方でお城に向かうのは時間が無かった為、こちらの資料館に足を運びました。 小谷城が背後に控えている場所にあります。 小谷城とその主だった浅井氏の歴史を丁寧に説明しているので、歴史好きの方にはオススメします。次回は、小谷城を歩いて廻った後、訪問してみたいと思います。

    Shiga Pref. Nagahamashi Kinomotochoufuruhashi 1107
    Two treasure houses located in Furuhashi Kinomoto-cho, Nagahama City. The Koko-kaku was built as Shiga Prefecture’s first treasure house for cultural properties in 1963 to store items such as the Keisokuji Temple’s eleven headed figure of the Bhaisajyaguru and the treasures of other temples on Mt. Kodakami-yama. The Yoshiro-kaku was built in 1989 to store items such as the Yoshiro Yamatoiwa-ji Temple’s standing figure of Bhaisajyaguru. Together, the two facilities store and display a large number of cultural properties.

    あの有名な最澄が雪に残る鳥の足に導かれ埋もれていた観音様（その昔、近江の国の鬼門にあたる己高山に祀られたが、朽ちて仏頭だけになっていたのを修補）。いいお顔をしていました。

    ヴォーリス作の名建築の一つです。元は醒井郵便局です。見た目は鉄筋みたいだが、実は木造２階建の擬洋風建築です。現在は資料館となっている。入館は２００円、９時から５時まで。毎月曜日は休館。古い建物が続く旧醒井宿の家並でひと際、異彩を放っている素晴らしい外観の建物でした。

    展示品は 1階と2階に分かれ 1階：仏像、神像（旧高月町内からの寄託された像、小さな像ですが 7月19日訪問時 平安時代の像が数多くあり ヒックリでした）、2階：湖北の歴史と民俗 となっています。 この為 これらに関心を持っておられないと 入館されても つまらないかも知れません。 一方で 仏像鑑賞に関心を持っておられると 300円で 平安時代の仏像に会え 価値ありです。又 湖北の仏像鑑賞に関心を...

    Shiga Nagahama-shi Kunitomocho 534
    A museum located in Kunitomo-cho, Nagahama City. The museum contains exhibits on the history of Kunitomo, an area which flourished as a center for “teppo” gun production from shortly after their introduction to Japan during the Warring States period through to the Edo period. Visitors can see exhibits on the Kunitomo teppo gun production process and a recreation of what a Kunitomo blacksmith’s workshop looked like, as well as real matchlock teppo guns. The museum also has exhibits on engineers and cultured persons born in Kunitomo such as Kunitomo Ikkansai, who conducted astronomical observations using his own home-built reflecting telescope; and tea ceremony master Tsuji Sohan.

    一度は行ってみたいところでした。駅前からバスに乗って資料館へ。朝一番という事で１時間余楽しみました。展示資料はそれほど多くはありませんでしたが、鉄砲の里という事で、そこここに立つ道標にも歴史を感じました。資料館の館長さんも気さくな方でお話を伺い、グッツも沢山仕入れました。

    Shiga Nagahama-shi Ishidacho 576
    "This museum is located 10 minutes from the Nagahama Interchange on the Hokuriku Expressway. The place where the museum stands is believed to be the site of the residence where Warring States period samurai and military commander Ishida Mitsunari was born. The museum displays ancient texts, armor, and picture scroll panels connected to or concerning Ishida, and visitors can also see a photograph of Ishida's skull unearthed at the Sangenin Temple on the grounds of Kyoto's Daitokuji Temple. In addition, a bronze statue on the grounds which may be freely viewed was created based on this skull. A stone monument on the grounds is inscribed with characters which read ""The birthplace of Ishida Jibusho"" (his official court title). As the museum is not always open, prospective visitors should call in advance to confirm museum hours."

    友人が御朱印を集めているので行きました。会館内は地区の方々が開いているようでした。三成はともかく西軍の総大将となり西軍に側の武将の小さい看板などがありました。それから、石田一族の墓や神社もあります。石田三成ファンだったらおススメします。この会館は平日に行くと半日で終わる時もあるので、ちょっと気を付けたいです。

    彦根市方面から伊吹山に向かったが、ドライブウェイではなく登山口に向かうには長浜のほうが近いようだった。ちょっと分かりにくい場所にある。 できれば薬草園を見たかったが、薬草をどう加工してみ利用するかが地域の生活であったので、季節ごとの薬草の花畑などの遊びは、山に登りながら勝手に楽しめとのことらしい。まことにその通りである。 いろんな専門家が関わっておられるらしく、問えばいろいろ応えてくれるであろ...

    Too far away from the coastline. Unable to have a close view of the ducks. Only a few coots and ducks were seen. Looked dead everywhere. Not worth driving the kilometers.

Shiga Areas

Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
