    Hiroshima Pref. Fukuyamashi Tomochou Tomo 843-1
    A museum located in Tomo Town, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture which presents materials tracing the history of the Iroha-maru, a ship used by famous historical personage Sakamoto Ryoma and his trading company, Kaientai. In 1867, the Iroha-maru collided with a warship belonging to Kishu Domain and sank in the sea off Tomo. Housed inside an old kura storehouse, the museum displays items brought back from surveys of the wreck, photographs, and dioramas. On the second floor, there is a recreation of the hidden room Ryoma used while staying in Tomo. This exhibit in particular makes a popular spot to take a commemorative photo or two.

    鞆港の常夜燈手前に展示館がありました。建物自体は登録有形文化財に指定されたレトロ建築の土蔵をそのまま利用しており、重厚な印象を受けました。猶、展示物は坂本龍馬に関するものが中心となっており鞆の浦観光の一環として入館する人が多いようでした。

    Hiroshima Fukuyama-shi Marunouchi 1-9-9
    This literary museum’s building was modeled after the traditional Japanese homes found in the Kamo region, the home of Fukuyama City-born author Masuji Ibuse. The museum was opened in 1999 in order to honor the achievements of Ibuse and other writers connected to Fukuyama City. Exhibits concerning the achievements, profiles, and major works of the museum’s authors are displayed in the standing exhibition area on the first floor. Writings by the authors as well as collections of their complete works have been assembled in the museum’s library, which visitors may freely peruse. A video on Masuji Ibuse’s life as well as some of his personal articles are displayed in a space modeled after the author’s study, helping visitors to deepen their understanding of his achievements.

    福山駅北側を県立博物館をすぎて歩くといくつかある展示施設の一つです。展示の中心は福山出身の井伏鱒二です。ここに来るまで井伏鱒二が福山と関係があることは知りませんでした。小学生の低学年の頃だったと思いますが、山椒魚を読んだのを突然思い出しました。

    Hiroshima Fukuyama-shi Matsunagacho 4-chome 16-27

    履物と郷土玩具に特化した展示を行っているという、とてもユニークな博物館。地域の小ぢんまりとした資料館かと思いきや、展示物の数は非常に膨大で、じっくり鑑賞しながら周回すればゆうに2-3時間はかかる。基本的に展示がメインでより興味を引くような仕掛けは少ない。展示だけでは子供は退屈してしまうかもしれない。 履物にしても伝統玩具にしても、古今東西様々な地域から蒐集されている。このような類の資料館は、多くの...

Hiroshima Areas

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
