    Okayama Tsuyama-shi Sange 92

    今回運よく開館しておりました。施設は古いが重厚でそれ自体がすごい！。羽柴秀吉の書状、津山藩松平平松の文書がありました。歴史にうとい私ですが、陶棺には驚きました。津山市、出雲市、諫早市の交流展が私が訪れた少し後で開催される事は残念です。

    Okayama Tsuyama-shi Nishiimamachi 18

    建物はたしかに昭和の頃はまだこういう銀行の建物が現役だったなと思わせるものでした。内部はカフェスペースと商品販売になっていました。車だったら野菜か果物を買って帰ったかなと思いました。津山の市街地では珍しく駐車場も裏にある場所でした。駐輪場も一緒にありました。自転車だったので特に気にならない距離でしたが、徒歩では津山駅や津山城からはそこそこの距離だと思います。

    湯郷温泉郷の観光案内所から歩いて３分ぐらい。神戸の伊川谷出身のオーナーが集めた昭和レトロな品々（平成の物も混じっています）が所狭しと展示されています。一般家屋を使っているのですが、子供の頃に訪ねたおじいちゃんの家、おばあちゃんの家の匂いがします。年配の人には懐かしい品のオンパレードです。個人的にはミリタリー・ミニチュアが懐かしかった。１時間ぐらいいたと思います。特にオタクな方にはお勧めです。入館料...

    日本の古き良き時代を感じることができる観光スポットです。機関車といえば力強く黒い煙を吐きながら走るイメージが強いと思いますが、機関車もとても小さくて可愛らしいです。と一緒に訪れるととても楽しいと思いますよ。

    岡山県から鳥取県に抜ける国道４８２号線から脇道に入った場所にあります。 入場は無料で、ウラン鉱床の発見から現代の電力などの活用まで詳しく説明されています。（子どもたちにも、分かりやすい展示だと思います） 残念ながら、現在は採掘はされていません。

Okayama Areas

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
