  • オールド将棋ファンにはたまらない

    午前9時からの開館で、入館料無料とありがたい。私が少年の頃は、名人と言えば大山名人だったので、たまたま見つけたこの記念館に興味津々で訪問した。升田名人との対局の写真の他、たくさんの写真や棋譜が展示され、将棋の勝負の緊張感を感じることができた。記念品も販売されている。

    昭和最強の将棋棋士「大山康晴」氏の記念館。将棋のオールドファンなら、たまらない。タイトル獲得数80期、生涯A級は伝説。今ほど、タイトル戦のない時代にこれだけの数字は、羽生善治と双璧です。出身地が倉敷なので、倉敷美観地区にあります。

    倉敷駅から徒歩で美観地区まで行き、その近くにあります。将棋の名人の方の記念館で無料で入れます。将棋に興味がある人には良い場所です。立派な将棋盤もありました○
