    This memorial park approximately 20 minutes by car from Awaji Interchange has facilities with exhibitions on the Nojima Fault that caused the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake on January 17, 1995. A portion of the fault pushed above ground during the quake, and the Nojima Fault Preservation Museum provides access to this designated Natural Monument. The Kobe Wall that survived the Kobe Air Raids and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake has been relocated there too. Together they tell a frightful story of the horror of disasters natural and man-made. There is also a seminar house where you can listen to talks on the disaster. They have a shop and a restaurant serving local fare too.

    What is most impressive about this museum is that it includes some of the actual roads/land affected by the earthquake so you can actually SEE how the land moved, how the road buckled. The simulated...

    This science facility is part of the Uzunooka Onarutokyo Memorial Hall complex in Fukurahei, Minami Awaji City. It'll give you a visual education about the natural processes that generate whirlpools with an exhibition that links hydraulic models, a giant spherical screen, and images cast onto wall screens. They have installations like the Uzushio Slider that lets you experience the difference in sea surface height effecting whirlpool formation and the Uzumeku Circle which simulates a whirlpool that's seven meters across.

    写真スポットとしてはよい。道の駅のような感じで団体客も多かった。 うずしおについては一応説明あるけど、ほぼ玉ねぎスポット。 雨の日だったので、空いてておっ玉ねぎも玉ねぎユーホーキッチャーも空いていた。ユーホーキッチャーは一回で成功してしまい、地味に帰りが重かった。 スタッフさんが玉ねぎストリートピアノを弾いていてなかなかよい。 他に玉ねぎロボット掃除機がかどうしたり玉ねぎネオンがひかる。 うずしお...

    "A facility where visitors can watch the Japanese macaques which live in the Kashiwara Mountains on the southeast side of Awaji Island. The facility is located a 40-minute drive on National Route 28 from the Seidan-Mihara interchange on the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway. The monkeys come down from the mountains each morning around 9:00 and return around 17:00. Particularly in winter when there is little food to be found in the mountains, many monkeys come here looking for something to eat, giving visitors a strong chance of being able to see some. The monkeys get along well with each other and on cold evenings visitors may be able to catch sight of them huddling together in a phenomenon locals call ""saru dango"" (""monkey dumplings""). The season for monkey watching is from December to August."

    自然界の猿と触れ合える。駐車場から少し急な道を歩いて5分少々。淡路の猿の生態系を、学ぶ事が出来る。人間が檻の中に入って外部の猿に餌をあげるのが楽しい。

    "This art museum is located two-minute drive from Higashiura Interchange on the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway. The museum exhibits the works of Awaji Island native Nakahama Minoru, who is best known for his ink paintings of cats. The 20-meter-long ""Chonai no Gunzo"" is particularly stunning. Each of the distinctive cats in the painting is depicted with great richness of expression. The museum shop carries a wide range of original cat-themed merchandise including reusable shopping bags and keychains. Nakahama Minoru himself leads an ink painting class on the second Sunday of each month."

    前から気になっていた猫の美術館！！墨で描かれた猫が目力強くこちらを見つめています。1匹、1匹が先生の大事な猫の家族だったり、ストーリーになっていてとても楽しかったです！

    南画(中国発祥の水墨画)画家、直原玉青（じきはらぎょくせい）の絵画を常設する現代南画の美術館。禅書「うしかひ草」の教えを題材とした代表作「禅の牧牛 うしかひ草」の展示は圧巻です。 天井絵「雲龍図」も一見の価値があります。 近くにある国清庵をセットで尋ねると、襖絵のオリジナルが拝見出来るので、おすすめです。

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
