    Kogaira-machi Nakatadogi-gun Kagawa Prefecture 623
    Located around 10 minutes’ walk from JR Kotohira Station, the Kinryo-no-sato Sake Museum is operated by the brewers of Kinryo Sake, Kotohira’s local sake brand. The museum is directly opposite the entrance to the avenue leading up to the Kotohira-gu Shrine. Situated in a converted sake warehouse, the museum’s History Hall shows how sake was traditionally produced, using displays of authentic implements. The Culture Hall, situated in a former malthouse, presents displays about the history and culture associated with sake-brewing, and has interesting exhibits such as tokkuri (traditional earthenware sake bottles), sake cups, etc. Visitors to the Kinryo-no-sato Sake Museum can also enjoy tastings of Kinryo Sake.

    GWに金毘羅さんを訪れた際に訪問。朝、向かいのうどん屋さんで待っているときから気になっていたので参拝帰りに立ち寄りました。金陵というブランドで多くのお酒を出しています。今回は金陵の里限定の純米酒と金陵濃藍純米吟醸を購入しました。元は工場だったので、酒造りの歴史館などを見ることができます。

    The Kotohira Kaiyo Hakubutsukan maritime science museum is located immediately adjacent to the Kanamaru-za theater, Japan’s oldest Kabuki theater, where Konpira Kabuki performances are held; the theater is situated on the pathway leading up the famous Konpira-san shrine, dedicated to the god of the sea. The museum has a sound theatre, models that recreate an Edo-period harbor, a ship maneuvering simulator that allows visitors to experience steering a ship, etc., along with a wide range of materials relating to nature (with a focus on the sea), ships and maritime affairs.

    海上交通の神様であるこんぴらさんにちなんだ施設だ。ほかけ船や千石船などのほか江戸時代の船や施設、さらには現代の船、瀬戸大橋の建設、南極船などの様子が展示されている。

    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。

    892-1 Kotohiracho, Nakatado-gun, Kagawa Prefecture
    Homotsukan was built in 1905 following the design of Masamichi Kuru, an engineer of the Ministry of Education. It is a dignified two-story building that blends Japanese and Western elements. Made of granite quarried in Kagawa Prefecture, its gabled roof has Aoki stone tiles, and the entrance features a copper roofed Chinese cusped gable. Precious items from Kotohira-gu Shrine are on display. Two particularly well-known pieces are an eleven-faced standing image of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and a collection of Portraits of Thirty-six Master Poets. The Kannon statue is an Important Cultural Property.

    400段石段を登ったところにあります。友達が素晴らしかったというので、帰りに寄ろうと思っていたら、臨時休業中で見られず残念。入館料は800円。建物は1905年に建てられた石造の2階建てで国の登録有形文化財に指定されています。狩野探幽などが描いた三十六歌仙額、かつて旭社の本尊であった十一面観音立像などを見ることができるそうです。

Kagawa Areas

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.
