    This towering camphor tree is on the grounds of Takeo-jinja Shrine in Saga Prefecture. Follow the small path from the main hall through the bamboo grove and you'll find it. The seventh largest tree in Japan, it's 30 meters tall, 20 meters in diameter, and the branches spread for over 30 meters. The trunk is hollow, and the inside covers about 20 square meters. It's said to be 3,000 years old, and it's paid special respect as the shrine's sacred tree. A Shinto god known as Tenjin is enshrined in the cavity.

    Visited Takeo onsen temple and came across this giant tree. Nothing too impressive honestly it just a tree. One would probably spend 5 minutes to take a photo before headed to another spot. Can omit...

It is a facility where one can enjoy learning from many different angles.

    春休み期間中でしたが、平日のため？ コロナの影響のため？ 思ったほど人の入りは多くありませんでした。 身体を使って遊ぶタイプや化石などを学ぶタイプのブースがあって、楽しめました。 大人でも勉強になりますよ。 男性トイレの中には、あの名言が……。

    佐賀のお土産物を売っている、いわゆる道の駅です。ツアーの最後に訪問しました。佐賀の地域クーポンを3000円分頂いたので、それを使い切るように、あれこれと見て回りました。嬉野茶と、小城羊羹を買い、上手に使い切りました。

    先日嬉野温泉から武雄温泉に向けてドライブ中立ち寄りました。目的は水分補給＆一服。施設としては中規模、産直品やパンフ類の品揃えは並かなという印象。夏休み直前の店内ではカブトムシの実演販売中でした。別棟形式のレストランで珈琲タイムでも思いましたが、残念ながらまだ準備中。プランBとして、産直品売り場であま夏ゼリー（税込み180円）を買い求め、カブトムシ売り場に隣接した休憩スペースでイートイン。スッキリし...

    "Taku Seibyo (Confucian Temple) is located around 20 minutes' drive from the Taku Interchange of the Nagasaki Expressway. Confucius was the founder of the Confucian school of philosophy, and is revered as the god of learning. Taku Shigefumi, the fourth lord of the Taku domain, ordered the construction of the temple in 1708 because he wanted to help the domain's residents to cultivate a proper attitude of Confucian ""respect."" Taku Seibyo (Confucian Temple) is the third oldest surviving Confucian temple in Japan, after Ashikaga Gakko in Tochigi Prefecture and Shizutani Gakko in Okayama Prefecture, and has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Seibyo Sekisai ceremonies are held at the temple in the spring and in the autumn each year; after the ceremony, ordinary members of the public are allowed to worship in and look round the temple."

    御船山楽園に行く途中にあり、前を車で通っていて気になっていた施設です。慧洲園とこの美術館が併設のようになっていますが、入場料は別々になっていました。どちらのチケットも美術館入口で購入可能でした。美術館はあまり広くありません。中国磁器の展示をしていて、いいものを展示しているのだと思いました。個人的には特別展などを開催している時に、庭園と合わせてがいいのかなと感じました。駐車場は道路に沿って広くとって...

    "This temple is located a 15-minute drive from Takeo Onsen Station on the JR Sasebo Line. It was opened by Kobo Daishi in the quiet atmosphere deep inside the mountains. Visited by many praying for childbirth, easy childbirth and senility prevention as Vaisravana's sacred place, it was known as a training hall for purgation in literature from the Kamakura period (1185-1333) which says ""Any criminals can be forgiven for their sins if they run into the precincts of Kouyaji Temple."", it is counted as one of the Kyushu 88 temples and 108 sacred sites. In addition, 1,000 rhododendrons of 20 rare species bloom in the flatlands of the area, and the best time to see them is from April to May."

    日帰りバスツアーで訪問しました。今年は花の開花が早く、石楠花見学にはちょっと遅かったです。でも、まだ、赤やピンクの花は残っており、下から見上げても、上から見下ろしても緑の中に映えて美しかったです。和尚様の講和もお聞きできました。

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.
