    Kagawa Pref. Shouzugunshoudoshimachou Nouma A 1850
    This museum was constructed in 1987 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the founding of Marukin Shoyu. The gassho-zukuri (a traditional style of Japanese architecture with a steep thatched roof) building has been designated as a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property. Inside the museum are panels that introduce the soy sauce manufacturing process and displays of tools that were actually used in the production of soy sauce since the company was founded. Visitors can try soy sauce soft cream in the adjacent production building and this unique flavor can only be had here. Tours of the press factory that is currently still in use are also possible.

    Interesting place. You can see here the old advertisement posters of the Marukin soy sauce and various tools and processes used in making soy sauce.

    瀬戸大橋坂出側に有る橋を紹介しているミュージアムです。橋が無い時代は、天気が悪いと四国が陸の孤島になったという時代だったそうです。瀬戸大橋のミニチュアも有ります。

    Kagawa Sanuki-shi Shido 587-1
    This memorial museum is dedicated to Hiraga Gennai – sometimes the inventor, sometimes the writer, and other times the potter, he was a dyed in the wool free spirt who was active in a broad array of fields. Inspired by Hiraga, who hiked across the country to engage in natural history research, the museum is designed around the theme of “walking.” Newly remodeled in 2009, the museum consists of two locations – a main building, and an annex whose grounds enclose Hiraga’s former residence as well as a medicinal herb garden. Here visitors can learn about Hiraga’s extensive achievements through videos and activities. Hiraga’s former residence is located around 500 meters west of the main building and has been designated a National Tangible Cultural Property.

    琴電志度駅から徒歩3分。2階建ての建物の1階部分が展示室となっている。入館料は500円(平賀源内旧邸との共通券)。 平賀源内は1728年に志度に生まれた。「エレキテルを発明した」と教わった記憶があるが、「壊れたエレキテルを修理し、改良品を作った」というのが正しいようである。源内は非常に多才な人で、様々な発明品の他、自身が書いた小説(戯作)や絵画も展示されていた。 展示物は多いとは言えないが、ここを...

    Kagawa Shozu-gun Tonoshocho Ko 1082
    This is a memorial museum, about five minutes by car from Tonosho Port. The museum displays many of the artifacts related to the Taisho period poet, Ozaki Hosai, from whom we have many free-verse haiku, penned during his itinerant life. This location is where he spent the last eight months of his life as the abbot of the Minan Goan, one of the Shodo Island sacred places. One can get a sense of his great achievements and worldview when visiting through the building, which is a replica of the Nangoan during his lifetime. Among the valuable donated artifacts on display are a few of his unpublished works donated by his teacher, Ogiwara Seisensui.

    小豆島についてから記念館があることを知りました。土庄の迷路のまちのはずれにあります。尾崎放哉終焉の地ということで、感慨深かったです。 今の記念館は、台風で元の建屋が全壊したあと、忠実に復原した建屋ということで、当時のものではないのですが、この建屋で放哉が暮らして、俳句に没頭していたという思いを馳せることができると思います。 展示物が放哉自身のもの以上に、放哉関連のものがおおくて、そのあたりが整...

    Kagawa Pref. Takamatsushi Murechouomachi 1132-1
    "This memorial hall is dedicated to the Japanese American furniture designer George Nakashima. His works on display teach about his life and creative philosophy. When making furniture he thought it was important to ""always remember the long life of trees and find a way to make them come alive in their next form."" A visit will give you a real sense of his affection for trees and furniture."

    ジョージナカシマさんについて初めて知りました。様々な経歴を重ね、苦労されて木に惹かれていく彼のお話を記念館のガイドさんからお聞きしました。感動的でした。木の優しさに改めて触れることができました。高価な家具ですが、納得の価格と思います。

    Kagawa Pref. Nakatadogunmannouchou Oiage 358-1 (Michi-no-Eki Yume Momi Tree Park)
    "This museum is dedicated to the aviation pioneer Chuhachi Ninomiya. Fourteen years before the Wright brothers' successful manned, powered flight, he was the first in the world to come up with the principles of flight. The museum displays a replica of his ""crow-type model aircraft,"" his ""jewel beetle type flyer"" exhibited at the British Airways Expo, and a jewel beetle type flyer with an eight-meter wing span exhibited at the Tsukuba Science Expo. Their education corner lets you have fun while learning with quizzes, flight related games, and video of the Chuhachi Ninomiya Story."

    Kagawa Shozu-gun Shodoshima Cho Noma Ko 2211
    This is a specialty store inside the Hishio-no-sato grounds that house a tsukudani and soy sauce brewing factory. Here, the practice of making discriminating soy sauce and tsukudani has been carried in with the convictions and passion of the father of Shodo Island style tsukudani, Takebe Yoshiji. The historic design of this store is modeled after the original one. Prior to the war, this interesting building was used for storing the casks for fermenting soy sauce. Potato vines, which served as the first food item to be made into Shodo Island style tsukudani in 1945, are on display in the store, as well as an introduction to the history and development of soy sauce and tsukudani food processing.

around-area-map

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
