    Fukuoka Yame-shi Motomachi 2-123-2
    A museum where all of the traditional crafts of the Yame region are gathered under one roof. The building was constructed on the sight of Chikugo-Fukushima Station on the former Japan National Railways Yabe Line, and its design is modeled after the traditional white-walled kura storehouses of the Yame-Fukushima region. Accordingly, the line's old train rails can actually be seen inside the building. Inside, the museum displays the arts and crafts of the Yame area, such as Kurume kasuri textiles, which have been designated a National Traditional Craft. There's also a sales gallery area where you can purchase traditional crafts and other merchandise. On the south side of the building, there is a 500-meter long wisteria trellis created from the rails of the old train line, and from mid- to late April, visitors can enjoy walking through a tunnel of wisteria blossoms.

    福島仏壇、提灯、手すき和紙、石灯ろう、八女矢、竹細工、和ごまなど、八女の伝統工芸品を紹介しているのが、八女伝統工芸館です。八女市の中心部にあたる場所ですが、広々とした駐車場があるなど、敷地がゆったりしていました。広い土地があるのは、昔は、ここに駅があった場所だかららしいです。 入城無料で、八女について学ぶことができましたし、八女のお土産品も豊富でした。

    八女福島の白壁の町並みは「重要伝統的建造物群保存地区」に指定され、古くから城下町として栄えてきました。 福島八幡宮から通りに出て、少し北へ向かった通り沿いに、八女市横町町家交流館がありました。八女福島の観光案内所的な役割も担っているのでしょうか。町並みや、交流館の奥にあった古い酒蔵の建物などについて、ていねいに説明してくれました。 館内も当時の風情が感じられて、八女にゆかりのある現代作家の資...

    小郡市に移転してまもないようで新しい建物です。最寄り駅は西鉄大牟田線の三国が丘駅、徒歩１０分ほどです。入館料は無料です。あいにく一部の展示室が改修中でした。中庭からはいわゆるバックヤード、保存復元の作業室などをみることができるようになっています。文化財の研究施設としても充実している印象を受けました。
