The show about Indigo was well curated. The gardens are well maintained.

There's a huge fountain in the center of the yard. Quiet and peachful just watching the beautiful yard and flower garden. The art museum is not very big, but the exhibition is quite good and them change themes from time to time, so there's always something new to see. Lovely place.

Mr.Obana, His "Chikugo River Series" (his masterpiece), "Sea Series" featuring the sea of Kunitachi Peninsula, "Music Series" in which he attempted to visualize sound, and "Red Series" in which he stripped down the form to the minimum are just a few of the highlights. Highly recommended.

The exhibition was not so impressive, but i could easily understand this museum plays an important role in the city.

Good museum, would be better with signage to parking which is shared with community center. Also no water fountain in building.

Lovely place to enjoy the well-kept garden and landscaping, the art museum and the library. The only problem is the limited parking space AND the dangerous turn you need to make to get in and out (library side parking).

This is a small museum located in Ishibashi Culture Center area. When I visited there, museum displayed Seiji Togo's works. Park like setting is very nice,

I visited Koura Taisha Shrine on a Friday in August 2025, right in the summer heat. It was super peaceful—just a few foreigners and some locals resting after hiking up the mountain. The road is winding and small, adding a sense of adventure on the way up. The stairs to the shrine are steep and a bit of a workout, but you can take a lift if you’d rather skip the climb. Along the way, you pass traditional wooden buildings and smaller shrines that give the whole area a really authentic, serene vibe. At the top, the main shrine is beautiful, and you can offer a prayer if you’re interested in Shinto traditions. The viewing deck nearby offers a sweeping panorama of Kurume City and the surrounding hills. I bet it’s especially stunning in spring with cherry blossoms or in fall when the leaves turn golden.

I planned to come see the temple and see the city's night lights and the decorative lamps along the way up, but the decorative lamps along the way up were not turned on. I'm not sure if the decorative lamps along the way up are turned on every day.

Such a beautiful shrine, easy to access, wonderful scenery. Must visit place if u re in Kurume City

Highly recommend for travellers who will rent a car in fukuoka. Very nice shrine in the area, and it is close to Tosu outlet, and in between Kumamoto and Fukuoka, good spot in between.

A very beautiful and peaceful shrine. We visited it in the early hours of the morning and the air was fresh and invigorating. The atmosphere was silent but full of promises. I recommend taking the family here for a visit.

The buildings are built as if they were assembled from blocks of wood and do not use nails. This is a way of avoiding collapse in earthquake-prone Japan. It is wonderful to see this technique, called KIGUMI, up close. At Kora Taisha, lanterns are lit only in August; August 29, 2025

Posting my experience so you can learn from my mistakes lol my friend and I visited this shrine around 4pm, it took us an hour to get to the top. You go through some streets in a small college town (lots of students) then pretty much it’s residential and super quiet. Google Maps will have you go through the forest with lots of rock steps and it’s shady. Kinda scary if you’re just alone lol. This path will take you straight to the shrine but if you take the road way instead on the left, it’ll take you to the bottom of the stairs of the shrine instead. It’s a bit longer but easier. There are no lights until August! And no taxis but there was a taxi driver waiting for a passenger because they called ahead. I recommend doing that. Overall the shrine is beautiful and the views is amazing. You get a sense of victory getting there.

They sell plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables,meat and souvenirs.Beside is you can buy also plants.Wide varieties.Kurume is known for azalea and tsustuji but they have many plants to offer.

A very nice and pleasant place to stop by for lunch and shopping local produce fresh from the farms at reasonable prices.

Good for breaking the drive, stretch the legs and to buy some local produce along the way.

Good food and shop.

Must try ice cream

(Translated by Google) The vegetables are so fresh, it's exciting to visit this roadside station! Kurume Roadside Station was amazing. All the local vegetables were sparkling clean and felt so alive, completely different from those at the supermarket! I was having so much fun that my basket got heavier and heavier (lol). They also had a wide selection of processed foods and prepared dishes, and before I knew it, I probably bought twice as much as I intended... The parking lot was a little crowded, but the turnover was fast. There was a space for large vehicles, so it seems like a popular stop during travels. If you're heading towards Kurume, this is definitely a must-visit! ◎ Next time, I'd like to take my time and check it out on a weekday! 🍅🥬 (Original) 野菜が新鮮すぎてテンション上がる道の駅！ 道の駅くるめ、すごく良かったです。 地元の野菜がどれもピカピカで、スーパーとはまったく違う、生きてる感！ つい楽しくなって、カゴがどんどん重くなっていきました（笑） 加工品やお惣菜も充実してて、気づいたら予定の倍くらい買ってたかも…。 駐車場はちょっと混んでたけど、回転は早め。 大型車スペースもあったので、旅の途中で立ち寄る人も多そう。 久留米方面に行くなら、ここは絶対寄って損なし◎ 次は平日にゆっくり見に行きたいな〜🍅🥬

(Translated by Google) The brand new restroom facilities are perfect. There are accessible toilets, and even the men's restroom stalls have diaper changing stations. You can use them comfortably. (Original) 真新しいトイレ設備は完璧 バリアフリートイレもあり、男性用トイレの個室にもオムツ交換台もあり。 気持ちよく利用できます。

This quickly became one of my favorite parks in all of Japan. From the message at the entrance, beautiful statues, fountain, seasonal flowers, and museum, this place was so relaxing. Everyone there was very friendly and we even had a kind older woman come up to talk with us, and later she found us and gave us discount tickets to the art museum! There was a small festival, with some food booths and a jewelry stand as well. I don’t know who is in charge of choosing, planting, and arranging the flowers, but they deserve a raise because everything was beautiful. I wish I lived nearby so I could spend more time here and experience the different seasons. The park itself is free, and they have some paid parking available.

MUST VISIT. Only place that you can find roses in Fukuoka during December. Very well maintained garden.

The park is vast and beautiful. So many different plants, too, it's like an arboretum or something. The museums have a 700 yen entry fee each, I haven't tried them yet. English-language signage is a bit hit or miss, so you may struggle to get the full experience if your Japanese is poor. They do identify each of the plants, at least, and by the Sakamoto Hanjiro studio/atelier there is a full description of who he was.

A beautiful place for leisure walk and enjoy the nature.

Beautiful scenery. A good place to enjoy nature, culture and enrichment of historic occurrence.

I Mostly recommend this beautiful place.

The season when roses bloom is very nice. You can see some very rare varieties...

(Translated by Google) Last month, I had my car repaired, but when it came back from the repair, the car navigation system was not working, so I went to ask about the cause. The attitude of the mechanic S, who was in charge, was very bad and unpleasant, and I was not convinced by his explanation, so I was disappointed in Weekers. To that person, I am a young girl in her early 20s, and even if he thinks that it is okay to look down on me, it is his value, so I can't help it, but I was not satisfied with how he treated me as a customer, so I came back the next day. Mr. S was off work, so the factory manager came out. When I told him about the behavior yesterday and the car navigation, he responded sincerely, and I felt a little relieved that he would respond properly even though he is young. Later, Mr. S called to apologize, but it was a standard apology and he didn't seem to understand what was wrong. When I asked him if he knew what was wrong, I heard a small voice say "Huh?" When I told him that it was okay, he said "I'm sorry" in a voice that sounded like he was sulking and not convinced. If I use the service again, I will not ask Mr. S to be my rep. (Original) 先月、車の修理をして頂きましたが、修理から戻ってきたらカーナビが使えなくなっており、原因をたずねに行きました。担当していただいた整備士Sさんの対応悪くとても不快で説明にも納得できず、ウィーカーズさんに失望を抱くほど。その人にとって私は20代前半の小娘で、下に見ても問題ないと思われてもその人の価値観だから仕方ないけど、客への対応としてはどうなのかと思い、翌日どうしても納得いかず再来店。Sさんは休みとの事にて、工場長さんが出てこられました。昨日の対応についてや、カーナビについて伝えると、誠心誠意対応して頂き、若くてもちゃんと対応していただけるのだと少しは安心しました。後日Sさんより謝罪の電話ありましたが、定型文での謝罪で何が悪いのかわかっていない様子。何が悪いかわかっているか聞くと小さい声で「は？」という声が聞こえました。もういいですと伝えると「申し訳ございませんでした」と何故か拗ねたような納得していないような声。もし再度利用することがあればSさんには担当していただきません。

(Translated by Google) I came to the store to see the Hustler on display. I wasn't considering buying one, I just wanted to take a look, so I was glad I was able to take my time looking around without any pushy customer service. They even said, "Please let me know if you need anything!" I was happy to be able to look around freely at all the different cars on display. Unlike the Gulliver store next door, the customer service wasn't irritatingly pushy, and I didn't have to ask them to open the door every time there was a car I wanted to see. I prefer customer service that's this straightforward. Good luck to the newly reborn WeCARS. ...I wonder if the people who left negative reviews are affiliated with the Gulliver store next door... (Original) ハスラーの展示車を見たくて来店。購入検討しているわけではなく、ただ見たいだけだったので、しつこい接客もなく じっくり見ることが出来て良かったですよ。「何かありましたらお声かけください！」と一言声かけてもらいました。自由にいろんな展示車を見られて満足ですね。お隣さんのガリバー店のようにイライラするほどしつこい接客もなく、見たい車があると いちいち鍵開けてもらわないといけないこともなく。それぐらいアッサリした接客のほうが私は良い。 生まれ変わったWeCARSさん、頑張って下さい。 …低評価の口コミ書き込んでる人、もしかしてお隣のガリバー関係者だったりして……。

(Translated by Google) I wanted to buy a new car, but... I wanted a kei car... They have one at the Chikugo store. But maybe it's at the Gulliver store next door? The female salesperson wouldn't even bother to talk to me. Even though we were right in front of her... She kept staring intently at people coming and going with a frightening glare in her eyes. It seems they won't sell you a kei car. She kindly introduced me to the Gulliver store next door, but...I wonder if that's a rival store? I thought to myself. (Original) 車を新しく購入したかったのですが… 軽自動車を希望だったので… 筑後店にならあります。 隣(ガリバー)にあるんじゃないですか？ と、女性の販売員さんに相手にしてもらえませんでした。 私たちは目の前にいるというのに… 終始怖いくらいギラギラした目で出入りする方たちを一生懸命見ていました。 軽自動車だと売ってくれないみたいです。 親切に隣にあるガリバーを紹介してくれましたが…ライバル店ではないのか？と心の中で思いました。

(Translated by Google) Used for vehicle inspection. I thought the company name had changed and it had been refreshed, but the quality of customer service has not changed. They gave me a lot of explanations, asked me to sign a document without giving me a good explanation, and said, ``We don't have a replacement car right away, so please drive carefully.'' This was the first time I had been told such a thing at a vehicle inspection. (Original) 車検で利用。社名が変わってリフレッシュされたかと思ったが接客の質は変わらない。 まくし立てるように説明、よく説明せず書面にサインを求める、「代車がすぐ用意できないので気をつけて運転してください」車検でそんなこと初めて言われた。

(Translated by Google) If you are thinking of visiting the Weakers Kurume store in the future, I think you should definitely avoid it. When you have your oil changed, go to the repair shop and observe the work, and when you take your car to be repaired, check with the repairman for scratches on the car, and when you pick it up, there will be a lot of scratches. Just some advice. (Original) 今後ウィーカーズ久留米店に訪問しょうと思われる方は絶対辞めたほうがいいと思います。オイル交換する際は整備場行って作業を見物した方、それと車を修理出す時整備の方と車のキズを見て確認して引取行った時キズが多く付いで見た方がいいと思います。アドバイスです

Thank you as always. (Original) お気に入りの車に 出会えて、昨年は孫達を連れて 海や川に 遊びに行きました❤️ 今年も 楽しみます☺️ オイル交換に 時々来てますよ🎵いつも ありがとうございます☀️

Lovely shrine area. People go here to wish for a baby, and often bring the baby back after a few years and wish the child is successful at school and life. Lovely gardens and a short 20minute stop in the area.

Wonderful place. If you are visiting Kurume I recommend that you come here after a trip to the castle ruins.

Nice river view

Good place. I like this place.

Nice goshuin

Good

It is an old shrine. We had to check it out while we were in the neighborhood. There are so many shrines and temples that it is nice knowing about them

(Translated by Google) The Chikugo River Fireworks Festival is huge and beautiful, but there is a question of whether or not the Chikugo River will flood every summer. Most of the area in front of Yume Town is submerged (lol) (Original) 筑後川花火大会は規模がすごいしすごい綺麗けど、毎年毎年夏に筑後川は氾濫するのかしないのか問題あり。大体ゆめタウン前が水没(笑)

(Translated by Google) The Chikugo River riverbed has a wide range of promenades that you can enjoy. There is a part of the route that is separated from the Homan River, and there is no bridge if you go towards the Homan River, so it is important to go around the Chikugo River, otherwise you will have to walk endlessly to get to the bridge. This time it was a journey of 8.9 km and 2 hours and 15 minutes. There are toilets and benches all over the place. (Original) 筑後川河川敷は広範囲に遊歩道が設置されていて､楽しめます。宝満川と分離した部分があり､宝満川の方面に行くと橋がないので､筑後川沿いを周回することが大事です｡さもないと延々と橋まで歩くことになりますから。今回は8.9キロ､2時間15分の行程でした。ところどころにトイレはあるし､ベンチ等も整備されています。

(Translated by Google) The Chikugo River is a river that originates from Mt. Aso and flows through the northern Kyushu region from east to west through the four prefectures of Kumamoto, Oita, Fukuoka, and Saga before emptying into the Ariake Sea. Fishing in the main stream and tributaries of the Chikugo River is mainly home to sweetfish, carp, crucian carp, and haya in the upper reaches, and sweetfish fishing is particularly popular. There are golf courses and grounds along the riverbed near Kurume City, where you can enjoy sports on your days off. You can also catch a variety of fish depending on the basin. (Original) 筑後川は阿蘇山を水源として九州地方北部を東から西に熊本・大分・福岡・佐賀の4県を流れて有明海に注ぐ川です。 筑後川本流・支流における漁業は上流部では主にアユ、コイ、フナ、ハヤが棲息し、特にアユ漁が盛んです。 久留米市付近からの河川敷にはゴルフ場やグランドも整備されており、休日にはスポーツを楽しむことができます。 また、流域によってさまざまな魚を釣ることもできます。

(Translated by Google) Blooming beautifully in the summer night sky Impressive Chikugo River Fireworks Festival🎆 I was impressed 🩷 (Original) 夏の夜空に艶やかに咲き乱れる 迫力満点の筑後川花火大会🎆 感動しました🩷

(Translated by Google) A large river that originates from Mt. Aso and flows across the northern Kyushu region. The scale is the largest in the Kyushu region. A violent river that often becomes turbulent when it rains heavily or typhoons come. Hundreds of years ago, when the Chikugo River flooded, the seeds of pickled mustard greens grew wild in Nakasu, and it is now well known that they are a specialty of Kurume. Every summer, the fireworks festival held near the river has a 350-year history and is quite crowded. Although it is difficult to know when the river will flood, it is a familiar and familiar river for the people of Fukuoka Prefecture. (Original) 阿蘇山を水源とし、九州地方北部を横断して流れる大きな川。 規模は、九州地方では最大です。 大雨が降ったり、台風がきたりするとしょっちゅう荒れ狂う、暴れん坊な河川。 今から数百年前、筑後川が氾濫した時にどこからか流れてきた種が中洲に自生した山汐菜の漬物は、今では久留米の特産品というのは有名な話です。 毎年夏、川の辺りで行われる花火大会は350年の歴史がある由緒正しいもので、かなり賑わいます(←この日は道路も列車も大変混むのでカオス)。 いつ氾濫するかハラハラしますが、福岡県民にとっては身近で親しみの持てる川です。

Lovely area for kids to play and adults to! Easy access and convinient location.

Beautiful open, landscaped lawns. Great for a walk. Lovely during hanami season. Spacious, great parking.

It was very nice with lots of green grass, so kids have lots of room to run around and have fun.

Best place to hanging out with family 😊

It's was very cool and quiet,free parking available.

Good place. 👍

Nice place enjoy the beauty of nature

The site of Kurume Castle is a park where visitors can still see the impressive stone walls and moats, remnants of the castle's former structure. The Arima Memorial Museum is located within the former honmaru, offering exhibits related to the Arima clan and the history of the Kurume Domain. The ruins are designated a Municipal Cultural Asset and are known as a scenic spot, especially during the cherry blossom season when about 30 cherry trees bloom, adding color to the historic site.

Not much to see. But it was nice to walk around and enjoy the quite serene environment. There's chair to sit and enjoy the view looking over the river. I was there on the late afternoon and there was no visitor but me. So I enjoy the place myself and felt peace. It is a nice place to just sit down and wonders your mind while looking the river.

Small ruins, nice ishigaki.

Very beautiful and historical place I recommend

A lovely location with a great view and nice breeze to sit and look at the scenery.

Best place for cherry blossom

I has fun here under the giant tree

Interactive science museum where I had so much fun! It covers physics, electricity, robotics, environment, etc. There are a total of 4 floors (the last floor only opens after 13:30 which is the observatory and I didn't manage to visit it). Also, it costs only 210 yen for an adult. I went there during a weekday and there were not many people around. You could even get a robot to draw for you for free! Do note that most of the videos and shows (at available timings) are in Japanese. Only the interactive displays have English explanations.

Unique place for spending time with children (kindergarten or elementary school). Plenty of activities and science phenomena can be experienced here (planets, physics, magnets, robots, etc.) The biggest advantage over few similar places is that it is never crowded and adults can always find a cost place to rest, while children investigate area by themselves. Recently opened the area for the small children where they can play with LEGO, magnet toys and other things.

Very nice place for the kids. Loads of things to play.

There are a lot of wonders here, but they are all based on science. You will surely be interested in science, too! Observe the stars through a large telescope.

Was lots of fun. We went with a 3 year old and he loved it so much. Not much English but a lot is self explanatory. Lots of cool structures and attractions. Recommend for families.

It emphasizes the science relating to space science. The interacting facilities are great but more suitable for children.

Wonderful observatory. Very convenient location for a day trip. I recommend to see the park and bird center as well.

This is my seventh year living in Japan. I have lived in Beppu and Kagoshima and never had any problems when getting documents. Both city halls were very foreigner-friendly, understanding foreigner feelings, and communicating with great professionalism. This is my second time facing this kind of experience at the Kurume City Hall. The first incident occurred when my wife and I went to register her at our current address. When we submitted the English translated marriage certificate, they said they could not accept it and that it should be in our native language (Sinhala). They then asked us to write the meaning of the document in Japanese. Imagine if someone who is poor at Japanese and write something completely different about the translation and submit it—they would still accept it. English is a well-known language, and with a little searching, you can translate it to any language. Why do they keep asking for these things specifically from foreigners , which are really unfair to foreigners.Rules should exist to make human lives more comfortable, not harder. The second incident happened today when I went to register my inkan. After we wrote the application and submitted it, they saw my name in English and said it didn’t match my name, asking me to make a new inkan. I have been using that inkan throughout my university life and for school and visa applications without any problems. If there was an issue with my inkan, I should have been asked to change it earlier. I explained to the young lady that this was my English name and that my name was too long to fit all the letters on the inkan. She then went inside to consult a male officer. After discussing, they said they could not accept it. We arrived at 4:20 pm, and the city hall closes at 5:15 pm on Mondays. I asked the lady if an inkan in katakana would be acceptable, and she said it would. She didn’t even advise what to do in these situations I have to think that and act.My wife and I then searched for the nearest inkan maker shop. The first one was closed, but we found another, and the owner made an inkan in 10 minutes. We managed to return to the city hall by 5:05 pm. We rewrote the form and submitted it, and they accepted it. As a foreigner working in Japan, taking a holiday is costly,because it reduce the paid leaves which I have to spend with my family when I go back to Sri Lanka in vacations.Therefore to come for my work in weekdays cost me my paid holidays. This is the second time I have faced these unfriendly rules, which make my life as a foreigner difficult. This is the worst city hall I have dealt with. I never intended to write this review, but I decided that rules should make human lives better and more comfortable, not be based on race or nationality. Therefore, they need to create an environment that makes life better for foreigners living in Kurume City, not more difficult. I hope and wish they will see my review as a positive one and make necessary changes. Thank you.

One location to complete all of your city-related tasks: my number cards, family registration, etc… The Free parking can get crowded.

Disorganized.front desk tells me go to 3rd floor, room 302. People in room 302 tell me go to 308, show me the way. Person from 308 tells me to go to first floor to copy documents for my vaccine passport, and to buy a stamp from the conbini. No conbini on 1st floor so ask the original staff that started this goose chase - she tells me 2nd floor. Get to second floor and wander as there is no sign showing the way, find it hidden in a corner with a small sign. Back down to fist floor to go to elevator to 3rd floor to hand in photocopies and stamp for a vaccination passport that an organized place would have digitized for a simple online application. Come out of the 1970s and get organized.

It's easy to find your way around even if you don't speak English. Just make sure you know what you want because not everyone knows what they're doing. Be prepared to ask questions if you're not satisfied with the answers you're getting.

Good

very humble respectful staff in city hall..

Nice

<June 7, 2025> About 50-60% of the hydrangeas have bloomed. Most of them are white hydrangeas. Blue and violet hydrangeas are not many. I think the flowers will be in full bloom within the next 7 days, and the view would be more beautiful. Entrance fee is ¥300/person. If you commute here from Fukuoka City, take a train from Nishitetsu Tenjin station to Nishitetsu Kurume station; then hop on the bus No.25-1 from this station and get off at Yamamoto Community, and walk for 10mins till here.

A beautiful temple, I visited after hiking Korasan

Nothing crazy, a few bamboos and marches up

Added hydrangea in 2025.

(Translated by Google) 300 yen per person, free for one person with disability certificate I thought the hydrangea season was over, but it seems it was a little early. I found out by reading the comments (lol) There was a group brought here by a large bus, and it felt like a real business. The hydrangeas are beautiful, but there is a graveyard right next to them, so some people who don't like them might not like them!

By the way, regardless of the evening... Well, what surprised me was that, strangely enough...there were a lot of young people, both men and women, visiting during the hour or so I was here. I guess the main purpose is the hydrangeas. Either way, it's a great opportunity for Senkoji Temple. It all starts with getting people to know about the temple...

(Translated by Google) Souvenir shops selling local specialties often found inside stations Kurume tonkotsu ramen souvenir dried noodles and Kurume black sticks are lined up. I bought Hanemono's Yame tea because it was on sale at a bargain price. I drank it right away at home, but it had a very strong aroma, and I couldn't quite tell what was so special about it. They also sell miscellaneous goods made with Kurume Kasuri. Kasuri? rice cake? Pronounced as "kasuri". It's called a textile. It is known as a high-quality textile, but scraps of it are sold cheaply.

(Translated by Google) The gourmet food we will be introducing today is ``Darum Chips 500 yen'' created by ``KURUME Good Foods,'' which operates restaurants such as Kushiyaki Hotarukawa and KURUME Gelato. Speaking of Kurume people's soul food, it is "Yakitori". Easy-to-use chips made with domestic pork "dalm" made crispy using a unique manufacturing method. It has an original soy sauce flavor that brings out the flavor of the ingredients. The content is 40 grams. The amount is about 3 to 4 dalm skewers. This is what it looks like when you put it on a plate. When I took a bite of dalm chips... Is this Dalm? It feels like a crunchy snack. “The beer is really good!” The more you chew on it, the more Dalm's presence becomes assertive... A dull smell spreads in your mouth. I wonder if children can eat this too. I'm not giving it away because it's a waste (￣^￣)ゞ Perfect for a quick drink! A great item that makes a great souvenir♪ P.S. By the way, what is Dharm? A medical student from Kurume sells "pork intestines (hormones)" at a Yakitori stall. It seems that the German word for ordering ``Darm'' has become popular. Hormones are the intestines of cows and pigs, and in the past, they were discarded because they rotted quickly. This is a myth that comes from the Osaka dialect for ``throw away'', ``horumon''. In addition to this, we are disseminating various information on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter [Iikore+]. If you see it, please follow me ^ ^ #Good this #Good this #Good this #Good this Plus (Original) 本日ご紹介する【いいコレ】グルメは、 串焼き ほたる川やKURUMEジェラートなどの飲食店を展開する「KURUMEグッドフーズ」が手がけた『ダルムチップス500円』 久留米っ子のソウルフードと言えば「焼きとり」ですが、 国産豚の〝ダルム″を独自の製法でカリカリに仕上げたお手軽なチップス。 素材の味が引き立つオリジナルの醤油風味です。 内容量は40グラム。 ダルム串が約3〜4本ほどの量でしょうか。 お皿に入れてみるとこんな感じです。 ダルムチップスを一口食べてみると… これダルム？と思うほどのカリッカリのスナック感覚で 「こりゃビールがすすむわ〜」 噛めば噛むほど、後から主張してくるダルムの存在感… ダル臭が口の中に広がります。 これだったら子供も食べれるかなぁ〜と思いますが、 もったいないからあげてません(￣^￣)ゞ ちょっとしたお酒のアテにはピッタリ！ お土産にも喜ばれる逸品♪ P.S. ちなみにダルムとは 久留米の医学生が焼きとり屋台で、 「豚腸(ホルモン)」を ドイツ語で「ダルム」と注文したものが定着したそう。 そして、ホルモンは牛や豚の腸で、昔は腐敗が早かった為捨てる部分でした。 大阪弁で「捨てるもの」を「放(ほう)るもん」に由来する俗説です。 この他にも、様々な情報をInstagramやFacebook、Twitter【いいコレ＋】にて情報発信中です。 もし見かけたらフォローして下さいね^ ^ #いいコレ#いいこれ#イイコレ#いいコレプラス

(Translated by Google) Customer service is so sloppy that you wouldn't think it was a place selling souvenirs. Instead of forcing everything into one small paper bag without saying a word, use a larger, roomier bag, or ask, ``The handles of paper bags are short and easily tear, so why don't you double them?'' ” I would like consideration. I also feel that there is a need for customer service to ask customers if they need smaller bags. It's a souvenir shop at a station where the Shinkansen stops, so I expect customer service that would be embarrassing for a Kurume counter. (Original) お土産売っているところとは思えないくらい雑な接客。 無言で無理やり小さめの紙袋一つにキツキツに入れるのではなく、大きめのゆとりのある袋、若しくは『紙袋の取手が短く破れやすいため二重にしましょうか？』等の配慮がほしい。 また、小分けの袋がいるかどうか尋ねる接客も必要だと感じます。 新幹線が止まる駅のお土産屋さんなので、久留米の窓口として恥ずかしくない接客を期待します。

(Translated by Google) You can buy products suitable as souvenirs at low prices, such as ramen from local manufacturers and udon noodles made from locally grown wheat. Near the entrance is a souvenir shop where you can buy vegetables picked in the morning at reasonable prices. (Original) 地元メーカーのラーメンや、地場でとれた小麦から作ったうどんなど、お土産に適した商品が安く買えたりします。入口付近には、朝採りの野菜がリーゾナブルな価格で買えたりとお得感があるお土産屋さんです。

(Translated by Google) There is a Family Mart next door to locally produced Kurume, which sells souvenirs that are a bit different from those stores. In particular, you can find famous sweets that you may not know about even if you live locally, and the special feature of this store is that you can also shop at transportation ICs. As a countermeasure against food loss, there are also some freebies that are easy to purchase, so we recommend that you try purchasing them at least once. Among them, the sold-out bento box is well-balanced and allows you to enjoy the seasonal flavor, so it is useful as a true ekiben. (Original) 地場産くるめは隣にファミリーマートが在り、そちらとはひと味違うお土産物を販売している。特に地元に住んでいてもわからない銘菓にも出会うことが出来ますし、交通系ICでもお買い物が出来るのもこのお店の特徴。フードロス対策としても、ご奉仕品でお求め易くなっているのも在るので、一度、試しに購入してみるのもオススメ。中でも売り切れゴメンのお弁当はバランスもとれていて季節感も味わえるので、本当の駅弁としても重宝します。

(Translated by Google) I bought Kurume Ramen as a souvenir. It's small, but they have a good selection of souvenirs. (Original) お土産に久留米ラーメンを購入しました。こじんまりしていますが、それなりにお土産は揃っています。

Great place to relax. There are a lot of trees that give shade and the area is massive. Great for picnics.

Vanquish Nihilism with a stroll around these grounds. Beware though: sometimes the wind carries foul odours from the adjoining bird sanctuary.

Nice view in June

Nice place for a quiet walk.

There is a fountain at center of park. Its a good.

Great place to get away from the bustle of the city.

Ok

Bairinji is much more than a temple with a garden where it is nice to view the plum blossoms. It is a so called training temple of the Rinzai (Chinese: Linchi, Korean: Imje) Sect, which is one of the two main Zen sects inJapan ( Soto and Rinzai). The meditation and religious programs of the temple are somewhat difficult to access or to have information about. However it is possible by making a phone call or by ringing the buzzer at the main entrance. This temple is now the main training temple of the Rinzai sect in Kyushu. The temple was moved from around Kyoto area to its current location in the Edo dynasty. Most mornings the monks and some lay people take part of a personal interview with the Zen Master (Roshi) who resides at the temple. One time a month there is an open ceremony in the great hall (Hondo) dedicated to the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, Kannon. The vent is called “Kannongou”, literally “Kannon Lecture”. In case the temple is contacted it might be slightly difficult to get accurate information. This may be due to inexperienced young monks. But if people persist and do not give up easily much more can be learned and experienced about Bairinji Temple than the beauty and the serenity of the garden.

wonderful temple

(Translated by Google) 25.3.9 Sunny weekend. The weeping plums were in full bloom, and there were some branches that were past their peak in some places. There were also a few white-eyes. There seem to be several parking lots, but the riverbed parking lot is probably the widest and easiest to park. However, there was still a bit of a waiting list in the afternoon. If you go on a weekend, the roads are narrow with people coming and going, so please drive carefully. (Original) 25.3.9晴天の週末。 しだれ梅満開、ところどころ、ピークを過ぎてる枝もありました。数羽、メジロの姿もありました。 駐車場はいくつかあるようですが、おそらく、河川敷駐車場が一番広く停めやすいのではないでしょうか？ただ、それでもお昼過ぎは、空き待ち状態が少しありました。週末行かれる際は、人の往復があり道が狭いので、運転お気をつけて。

(Translated by Google) This is a Rinzai sect temple located about 5 minutes from Kurume Station. It was originally built when the Arima clan, the lord of Kurume Castle, moved here from the Fukuchiyama domain in Kyoto. It is the family temple of the Arima clan. The Arima clan's mausoleum and mausoleum are designated as important cultural properties by the government. (Original) 久留米駅から５分ほどにある臨済宗のお寺。久留米城主有馬氏が京都の福知山藩から移動した時にこの地に遷座したのが始まり。有馬氏の菩提寺です。有馬氏の廟所、霊屋が国の重要文化財です。

(Translated by Google) This is the family temple of the Arima clan of Kurume Domain. The name of the plum grove comes from Bairin-in, the posthumous posthumous name of Noriyori, the father of the first domain lord, Toyouji. Including the outer garden, the temple is incredibly vast, with beautiful stone pavements and white walls, and the main hall is also majestic. The graves of past domain lords are located on a high spot behind the main hall, and several mausoleums have been built, including for the first domain lord, Toyouji. (Original) 久留米藩有馬家の菩提寺です。 梅林の名は初代藩主・豊氏の父・則頼の戒名「梅林院」から名付けられています。 外苑まで含めると大変広大で石畳や白壁が美しく、本堂も荘厳な造りです。 本堂裏手の高い位置に歴代藩主の墓所があり、初代藩主・豊氏はじめ、霊屋が複数建てられています。

(Translated by Google) This is the family temple of the Arima clan, lords of the Kurume domain, which held a fiefdom of 210,000 koku. It's very quiet, but there's a pleasant, tense atmosphere that makes your spine tensed! It's a pleasant sense of tension! It also contains the graves of past feudal lords! It seems quite rare for a feudal lord's gravesite to be designated a cultural asset! (Original) 久留米藩21万石の藩主有馬家の菩提寺です。 とても静かですが、ピリッとした心地よい緊張感があり、思わず背筋がピンとなります!これは心地よい緊張感です! 歴代藩主の墓もあります! 大名の墓所で文化財になっているのは、かなり珍しいようです!

(Translated by Google) It is a temple of the Myoshinji sect of the Rinzai sect and is the family temple of the Arima clan, the lord of the Kurume domain. It is the only family temple of the feudal lord, and it is a magnificent temple. The temple is easily accessible, less than 5 minutes walk from JR Kurume Station. As the name suggests, the adjacent garden is a plum grove. Since I visited in autumn, the place was filled with the scent of ginkgo. I couldn't see plum blossoms, but In early spring, the scent of plum blossoms wafted through the air, creating a pleasant atmosphere. (Original) 臨済宗妙心寺派のお寺で久留米藩主有馬氏の菩提寺です 藩主の菩提寺だけあり、堂々たる伽藍です JR久留米駅から歩いて５分弱とアクセスのよいお寺です 名前にもあるとおり、隣接の外苑は、梅林となっています 訪れたのは秋だったので、銀杏の香りに満ちており 梅花は拝めませんでしたが 初春には梅の香りが漂って雰囲気が良さそうでした
