    We came to see autumn foliage and there is plenty of it here. 127 steep steps take you up to the temple. We had to wait a while at the bottom to be able to take a photo with no people on the...

    肥前国一之宮ですがバス利用の場合は、久留米（筑後国）からが便利です。 しかし元々本数が少ないので往復のバスの時間は事前にご確認を。 参拝した日はあいにくの雨で、鳥居の先の100段以上ある急な石段は注意深く上がりました。石段には手すりがあったので助かりました。 境内からは筑後平野が見渡せ、高良大社と共に見守っているのだなと感じました。（後々、「肥前国一之宮だが何故？？？」というちょっとした疑問がわき...

    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。

The house is also a place for elementary and junior high school students to interact with each other."

    先日久留米市城島エリアから佐賀の金立公園に向かって移動中立ち寄りました。前回訪問が2011年だったので約6年振り。私の頭の中では下村湖人＝次郎物語。約20分の滞在でしたが、久し振りに次郎物語の世界に浸れました。生家の保存状態は良好。受付嬢の対応も丁寧。ちなみに、見学は無料。 この生家だけが目的の観光旅行はかなり珍かと思います。吉野ヶ里遺跡や金立公園などを見物したついでに・・・というのが現実的なプ...

    Saga Kanzaki-shi Kanzakimachi
    A facility with a Niiyama waterwheel reminiscent of days gone by that was restored in 1995. In the Meiji era, there were more than 60 waterwheels in the Niiyama area utilizing the headwaters of the Jobaru River. 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.

    本堂まで行く途中のヒノキ林が厳粛的な雰囲気をかもし出しています。栗の木から栗もたくさん落ちていていましたが拾っている風もなく、ちょっともったい気もしました。

Saga Areas

around-area-map

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.
