    Kogaira-cho, Nakadatsu-gun, Kagawa Prefecture 1241
    This theater, located in Kotohira, Nakatado County, Kagawa Prefecture, is the oldest extant theater in Japan. It was built in 1835 as a playhouse for providing regular entertainment to believers in the seafaring deity Konpira, who had many followers in the Edo period. In 1970, it was designated a National Important Cultural Property. For four years beginning in 1972, it was restored and reconstructed in its present location, and it exudes the style and chic of the typical Edo period theater at the time. Every April, the “Shikoku Konpira Grand Kabuki Performance” is held, which attracts many kabuki fans from outside the prefecture.

    Just the building to see, no props. A short tour in english and then you can wonder around yourself, trying to image what it would be like during a performance.

    Kagawa Kanonji Ariakecho 3-36
    "The museum, named after the world's largest coin-shaped sand painting ""Kan'ei Tsuho,"" exhibits approximately 2,000 coins from 125 countries, including coins from various countries and old coins, and provides visitors with an easy-to-understand illustrated explanation of the history and importance of money. For the same admission fee, visitors can also visit the ""Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Museum"" on the second floor."

    大平正芳記念館とセット料金でしたが、見たのはこちらだけ。世界の貨幣の展示施設は全国にありますが、ここはな種類が豊富でじっくり見て回ると半日くらいはかかってしまいそうでした。コインに穴の空いているのは珍しいと聞いたことがあるので、それらの展示品には矢印やちょっとした説明文があるといいなと思いました。

    小規模な美術館で常設コーナーはなく、特別展示を一定期間ごとに開催しているのではと思います。灸まんの商品も置いており、此処でしか購入出来ないラスクも有りました。小さな喫茶店も併設されており、金比羅さんの帰り道にひと休みするのに丁度良いと思います。

    This is an art museum nestled next to the Zentsuji City Hall.

    Kagawa Nakatado-gun Manno Cho Yoshino
    This is a small park along the edges of the largest pond ever created as a reservoir for irrigation in Japan, the Manno Pond. Along the northern banks of the pond, visitors can enjoy watching fireflies, while strolling along the gentle walking ways. The park is designated as one of the top 50 new scenic spots in Kagawa prefecture. From springtime through summer, the park is seasonally dotted with peonies, irises, azaleas, and other blooming flowers. About 30 years ago, the fireflies had all but disappeared. However, through various creative means of building a water mill, and a stream, to which the insects naturally gravitate, the designers’ efforts paid off, and now this park shines as the hotaruno-sato, the home of the firefly. The best time to see the fireflies are from late May through early June. During this season in which there are various local summer events going on, tours are offered that make for wonderful outings.

    昨年は蛍の台乱舞でした。もの凄い数の蛍が飛び交い息をのむ光景が広がっていました。まんのう池の畔に公園はあります。整備された駐車場がありますが、時期には車で溢れます。明るいうちからアクセスする方がいいです。 駐車場には多数の自動販売機とトイレも完備されています。 なお、蛍を見るために懐中電灯が厳禁です。蛍が逃げますし暫くの間光らなくなります。また、撮影にフラッシュも厳禁です。そんなことをしたら...

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.
