    Saga Pref. Tosushi Kounoemachi 288-1
    This museum is in Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, and was built in 1995 to commemorate the 145th anniversary of the founding of Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, as Tashiro Baiyaku. This museum is dedicated to pharmaceutical and medical history, and stands out for its two story building, designed by an Italian sculptor. Its displays include a recreation of the end of the 19th century British pharmacy, and materials from Tashiro Baiyaku.

    JAFカードで入場料が100円割引になります。外観もいいですが、館内展示も工夫されています。薬草園はイマイチでしたが、敷地自体は整備されていて気持ちがいいです。江戸時代の薬問屋が再現されていたり、薬ができる過程が実際に使われていた道具とともに説明されていたので、時代小説好きの私には小説の世界が理解できてとても面白かったです!昔の薬のラベルの展示では、そのデザインがお洒落で目をひきました。

It's said the area bustled during that time with carpenters and operators of waterwheels and young farmers from the plains with wagons loaded with wheat. The hall's displays include waterwheel related items and waterwheel powered marionettes performing the Ondamai dance from Niiyama-jinja Shrine.

    Saga Kanzaki-gun Yoshinogari Cho Mitsu 1915

    松本農園は、いちご狩りで有名です。なので、春に行くのがおすすめです。農園に着いたら、松本さんが待っています。いちごの季節以外でも、吉野ガーリック、お米、ズッキーニをはじめとするたくさんの野菜。いつ行っても新鮮な野菜と果物と松本さんの笑顔が、迎えてくれます。風に吹かれながら、おしゃべりするもよし、のんびりするもよし。いちごはとにかく甘い!松本農園のすべてに、癒されること、請け合いです。

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
