We came here in public holiday! And luckily there have like experience drone pilot camera for free! So we can see all around! From the sky and 360 degrees around this place. Very beautiful and incredible.

The view is absolutely beautiful. Good for couples coz it is a lovers place where you can make a wishes and write in a heart tag and place it wherever you like. There's a big bell both couple can make it rang together.

Cute little place for couples to watch the sunset in Japan Sea.

It was ok. View is nice. Only good for couples who wants to put a love lock there haha

Such a beautiful view, that's like Heart touching.

Nice place, good Seaview, good for family picnic

Beautiful scenery

A very peaceful sandy beach. The beach is clean and full of brown sand. There are few resort around. This beach is perfect for family picnic or BBQ.

A nice beach with clear water

(Translated by Google) Saturday, July 20, 2024 If you use the park's parking lot, you can go down the stairs for free and get right to the coast. There's water in the toilet, but there's also a free shower, so I'm glad I can spend time without having to use the beach house. Some of the cave-like photos are deep, but there are puffer fish, squid, and crabs swimming around, so it's fun. (Original) 2024年7月20日（土） 公園の駐車場を使えば無料で階段で降りて行けば海岸まですぐ行けます。 トイレのところに水だけど無料シャワーもあるので海の家使わずに過ごせるのがありがたい。 洞窟っぽい写真のところは一部深いですがフグやイカとか泳いでいるし、カニとかもいるので楽します。

(Translated by Google) The sea was very clear and beautiful. There were small fish and other sea creatures, so it was perfect for making summer vacation memories. (Original) 透明度の高い綺麗な海でした 小魚など海の生き物もいたりと夏休みの思い出づくりにぴったりです

(Translated by Google) This is a beach with beautiful water. The sand is very fine, so it clings to your feet and other parts of your body when you come out of the water. The beach is shallow, so the water doesn't get suddenly deep. There are wave-breaking blocks where you can see seagulls (or maybe black-tailed gulls?) who seem to be used to people and can be seen diving into the sea next to you to catch fish. While at the beach, you can see local trains, express trains, and freight trains running on the Shinetsu Main Line. For parking, it's convenient to use the beach huts as it makes it easy to load and unload your luggage. (Original) 水が綺麗な海水浴場です。 砂がとても細かいかいため海から出るときに足など体にまとわり付きます。 遠浅の海水浴場のため急に深くなることはありません。 消波ブロックが有り、そこにカモメ(ウミネコ？)が居て人馴れしているのか人の側で海に潜って魚を捕まえる姿をみることが出来ます。 海水浴場しながら信越本線を走る普通電車、特急電車、貨物列車が見られます。 駐車場は海の家を利用すると荷物の出し入れが楽なので良いです。

(Translated by Google) Right next to the sandy beach, there is a whale wave and a tunnel in front of the whale🐳(*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡Little whale promenade*.⋆( ˘̴͈́ ॢ꒵ॢ ˘̴͈̀ )⋆.* The whale ઽᵃⁿ even has a name ꉂ ꀞꀞꀞ(ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)˒˒ Cassie & Zacky 🎵 So cute ❤️ There was also a demon hole where the legend of the red demon remains, and the scenery was very nice! From the station: It's a 1-minute walk from JR Kujiranami Station, and it's almost right in front of you, so you can go there even without a car! ! Just above the whale tunnel, there is a large free parking lot even if you come by car 🎵 It looks like there are stairs going down from the parking lot to the sandy beach. There seems to be a fee for the Hamachaya parking lot in front of you (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾⁾ᵖᵉᵏᵒ (Original) 砂浜のすぐ横にゎ、鯨波といぅだけあって、目の前のトンネルゎ鯨🐳(*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡小さい鯨ゎ遊歩道*.⋆( ˘̴͈́ ॢ꒵ॢ ˘̴͈̀ )⋆.* 鯨ઽᵃⁿ名前あるんだってꉂ ꀞꀞꀞ(ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)˒˒カッシー&ザッキーだって🎵可愛い❤️ 赤鬼伝説の残る鬼穴もあり、とても景観も良かったです！ 駅からゎJR鯨波駅より徒歩１分、ほぼ目の前なので、車がなくても行けるといぅのもいぃですね！！ちょうど鯨トンネルの上あたりに、車で来ても広い無料駐車場が上にあったょ🎵駐車場から砂浜にゎ降りる階段があるみたぃです。目の前の浜茶屋駐車場は有料のようです(❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾⁾ᵖᵉᵏᵒ

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful, quiet and peaceful swimming beach. The parking lot and the beach hut are included, so if you go by car you have to use the beach hut, but the food is delicious and you can use hot showers, so I go there often. The bathhouse is well maintained and the water is clear and clean. (Original) 綺麗で静かで穏やかな海水浴場です。 駐車場と海の家がセットなので、車で行くと海の家は必ず利用しなければなりませんが、食べ物が美味しくて温水シャワーも使えるので良く行きます。 よく管理されている浴場で、水も透明で綺麗です。

Very close to the beautiful beach and “lovers point” but the station toilets need some improvement and also vending machines are high desirable

It was said that this station is the closest to sea, the next time I will come here, I’ll be riding the train ^^

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) On a clear day, this unmanned station by the sea offers a beautiful view of the Sea of ​​Japan. There is no parking lot. If you just want to take a quick photo, there is enough space right in front of the station, so it was convenient to park there. (Original) 天気の良い日には、綺麗な日本海が望める海沿いの無人駅です。 駐車場はありません。 パパっと写真を撮るだけなら、駅の目の前に停車出来る幅があるので、そこに止めるのが便利でした。

(Translated by Google) This is a station on the JR East Shinetsu Main Line. This is an unmanned station, and ticket checking is done inside the train. When getting off at this station, show your ticket to the train crew or pay the amount displayed on the fare display machine into the fare box. There is no parking lot at the station. The area in front of the station is narrow, so only a few cars can be parked at most. The road in front of the station is a slope, so it's a good idea to stop so you don't slide down. There is a toilet, but I didn't use it so I don't know the details. Although it is small, there is a waiting room. There is a boarding station certificate ticketing machine in the waiting room, so when you get on the train, you get a ticket and board the train. There are no elevators at the station. Use the stairs when heading towards Kashiwazaki or to the platform closer to the sea. I don't think there are any accommodations currently open near the station. There may be seasonal operations. Kashiwazaki and Naoetsu seem to have better options. (Original) JR東日本信越本線の駅です。無人駅で、改札は車内で行われます。当駅で下車する際は乗務員に乗車券を見せるか、運賃表示機に表示された金額を運賃箱に支払います。 駅に駐車場はありません。駅前は狭いので、停められるのはせいぜい乗用車数台というところです。駅前の道は坂道なので、滑り落ちないように停車するといいでしょう。 トイレはありますが、使用しなかったので詳しいことはわかりません。 狭いですが、待合室があります。待合室内に乗車駅証明書発券機があるので、乗るときには発券をうけて列車に乗ります。 駅にはエレベーターがありません。柏崎方面に向かう時または海に近い側のホームに行くときは階段を利用します。 駅近辺には、現在営業中の宿泊施設は無いと思います。季節営業などはあるかもしれません。柏崎や直江津などの方が選択肢がありそうです。

(Translated by Google) I took the Echigo Shu*Kura to Omigawa Station. The weather was beautiful, creating a striking contrast between the ocean and the whitecaps. The five-minute stop flew by. Everyone was familiar with the area, and without hesitation, they rushed out onto the platform for a photo session. Afterward, I ate warm sea bream chazuke (rice with tea) in car 2 while looking out at the ocean. The onboard staff circulated throughout the carriages, offering free sake. For a train with only reserved seating (priced at 840 yen), I was extremely satisfied with the generous hospitality. I'll definitely be back. 2025/11 (Original) 越乃Ｓｈｕ＊Ｋｕｒａに乗って青海川駅へ。天気がよく海と白波のコントラストが映えました。5分間の停車時間はあっという間。皆さんよくご存知で躊躇うことなくホームへ飛び出しての撮影大会でした。その後は2号車で海を眺めながら暖かい鯛茶漬けを食していると、車内スタッフの方が全車両を巡回して振る舞い酒をふるまうなど、840円の指定席券のみの列車にしては過分なもてなしに大満足でした。また来ます 2025/11

(Translated by Google) I came here after the new station building was built. I visited by car. You can see the bypass on the cliff and the sea from the platform. It brings back fond memories. The only people taking photos of the train were me and a young man from Kobe with a "Wa" license plate. (Original) 新駅舎になってから来てみました。車で訪問です。断崖の上のバイパス、そしてホームから海が見える。懐かしい思い出が読みがあります。電車の撮影者は神戸からの「わ」ナンバーの若者と私だけでした

nice quiet park, no one else around. lots of places to enjoy a picnic

mid november is the best timing to visit

Lovely fall colors.

(Translated by Google) This is one of the most popular tourist spots in Kashiwazaki City. It's beautiful during the autumn foliage season. As of November 2nd, the leaves are just beginning to change color. They're still quite green. There are some photogenic spots here and there, but there are also spider web traps, ginkgo traps, and mud traps, so as long as you're careful, you should be able to enjoy yourself. (Original) 柏崎市で代表的な観光スポットのひとつ。紅葉の頃が綺麗。11月2日現在では色づきはじめってところ。まだまだ青い。所々に写真映えしそうなスポットはあるけど、蜘蛛の巣トラップと銀杏トラップ、泥濘みトラップ等があるので、その辺だけ注意すれば楽しめると思う。

(Translated by Google) It was the first sunny weekend in three months ☀️ and the autumn leaves were amazing 🍁! I had no idea the garden was so large! (Original) 3ヶ月ぶりの土日連休の晴れ☀️素晴らしい紅葉🍁でした！ こんなにも広い庭園と初めて知りました！

(Translated by Google) It was my first time to see the illuminations. It was so beautiful. I'd love to go again. (Original) 初めてライトアップに行きました。とても綺麗でした。また行きたいですね。

(Translated by Google) It was probably 2-3 days earlier than usual. It's in Akasakayama. There's a lot of fallen leaves, so the leaves may fall early. (Original) 2~3日早かったかな。赤坂山方です。かなり落葉が多いので落葉がはやいかもしれません

Hiked up from Yoneyama Station - took only 45 minutes to the start of the trail.

Beautiful mt. Yoneyama ❤️

(Translated by Google) The altitude is low, but when I climbed it before Golden Week, there was still snow and the scenery was good, so I had a sense of altitude. A mountain that can be easily enjoyed. (Original) 標高は低いですが、GW前に登った時点では残雪があり景色も良いので高度感はありました。 手軽に楽しめる山。

(Translated by Google) This mountain is on the border between Kashiwazaki City and Joetsu City, and the 360-degree view from the summit is amazing. There is also a magnificent hut, surrounded by flower fields. The Ohira course was a steep climb, and the climb was hot and difficult, but the refreshing breeze from the sea was cool at the summit. (Original) 柏崎市と上越市の境にある山で、山頂からは360°見渡せる展望が素晴らしいです。立派なヒュッテもあり、お花畑に囲まれていました。 大平コースは急登が続き、登りは暑くて大変でしたが、山頂は海からの爽やかな風が涼しかった。

(Translated by Google) The Yoneyama Yoneyama Yakushi is known only to those in the know and is one of Japan's top three Yakushi. You can receive bills inside the temple. Yoneyama, which is mentioned in a song from the Showa era, is often covered in clouds and the top of the mountain tends to turn white due to gas, but the Sea of ​​Japan is beautiful from the top. There is also a shelter and toilet 🚻. (Original) 米山山頂の薬師さまは知る人ぞ知る、日本三大薬師さまです。お堂の中でお札をいただく事が出来ます。昭和の歌にもある米山さん、雲がかかりやすく、山頂はガスで真っ白になりやすいけど、山頂からの日本海キレイです。避難小屋、トイレ🚻もあります。

(Translated by Google) First time climbing Yoneyama with a view of the ocean ⛰️ There are several trailheads This time, the Ohira course is 2 and a half hours long. I climbed😃 It's quite difficult as it's full of stairs. It's cool because it's a path in the shade of trees 🎵 You can see the sea even on the way The view at the top of the mountain is spectacular ✨✨ There was also a shelter and a toilet. There is also Yakushido 😃 (Original) 海の見える米山に初登山⛰️ いくつも登山口がありますが 今回は、大平コース２時間半で 登りました😃 階段だらけでけっこう大変ですが 木陰の道なので涼しいです🎵 途中でも海は見えますし 山頂での景色は絶景です✨✨ 避難小屋もトイレもありました。 薬師堂もあります😃

(Translated by Google) Although it is a low mountain, the view from the summit is great. There is also a mountain hut and toilets. (Original) 低山ながら山頂からの景色が良い。 山小屋とトイレもあります。

Had the most incredible experience here and the staff that work here were all so passionate and helpful despite not speaking english and the tea ceremony was truly something special. Big thanks to the lady at the front desk for helping me take pictures.

(Translated by Google) You can experience a tea ceremony using the tea utensils on display. They explain the tools in detail, but even if you are a beginner and don't know the etiquette, the atmosphere is tolerant, so you can enjoy yourself even if you just dropped in. Thank you for answering my questions so willingly🙇‍♀️ The garden is also wonderful, so I think you'll enjoy a walk there. It's a small but very good museum, so if you have a chance to come to Kashiwazaki, I highly recommend visiting it. (Original) 展示している茶器を使ってお茶席の体験ができます。詳しく道具の説明をしてくださりますが、初心者で作法を知らなくても寛容な雰囲気なのでいきなりお邪魔しても楽しめました。質問にも快く答えて下さりありがとうございました🙇‍♀️ 庭の造りも素晴らしく、散歩も楽しめると思います。 小さくてもとても良い美術館なので、柏崎に来られることがあれば足を運ぶのにとてもおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) There are two compact exhibition rooms. We had a quiet and happy time in the tea room, where we were treated to a tea ceremony. It was a luxurious experience, as the museum used items from the collection. It was a midsummer day, but I felt a sense of coolness as I gazed upon the lush green garden. I would like to return in the autumn foliage season. (Original) 展示室2つコンパクトにまとめられています。お茶室ではお点前をいただき、静かで幸せな時間を過ごせました。収蔵品を使っていて贅沢な一時でした。 真夏日でしたが、青々した木々のお庭を眺めていると涼しさを感じました。紅葉な時期に再訪したいです。

(Translated by Google) This is a tea ceremony museum located on a small hill. It was quite confusing to know where to start, and we got quite lost. The museum offers three types of admission tickets: exhibition room only, tea room only, and both. The exhibition room has two rooms, displaying first-class pieces, including works by Lushanren and other Living National Treasures. One of the pieces had a sign saying, "In use in the tea room today." After finishing our tour of the exhibition room, we headed to the tea room. The tea ceremony felt like a real tea ceremony, but even those unfamiliar with the etiquette were welcome, which was a relief (lol). First, we waited in the waiting area. We were greeted and given an explanation of the hanging scroll. Then we moved to the tea room and enjoyed a cup of tea. My husband, especially, was a little nervous, as he was not familiar with tea ceremony etiquette, but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming throughout. We were given a detailed explanation of the tea utensils used that day, which was very informative. The view of the green garden from the tea room was beautiful. It didn't seem like there was any opportunity to take photos during the tea ceremony, so I can't post any images, but it's definitely worth a visit. (Original) 小さい丘の上？にある茶道の美術館です。どこから登っていけばよいのかわかりづらく、かなり迷ってしまいました。 美術館は、展示室のみ、お茶室のみ、両方の3つのタイプの入館券があります。 展示室は二部屋あって、廬山人作のもの、人間国宝の作家さんの作品など、一流品が並んでいます。その中のひとつは｢本日お茶室で使用中です｣との趣旨の貼り紙がでていました。 展示室鑑賞がおわると、お茶室へむかいます。 お茶は、ほんとなお茶会のようでしたが、作法に不馴れでもウェルカムな感じだったので救われました(笑) まずは待ち合いから。ご挨拶～掛け軸の説明です。そしてお茶室へ移動し、こちらで一服いただきました。 茶道の作法になれておらず、特に主人は緊張ぎみでしたが、あたたかい終始雰囲気でした。この日の茶道具についての詳しい説明が記載されたものもいただけるので勉強になります。 お茶室からはお庭のみどりがきれいにみえて、美しかったです。 お茶の際はお写真を撮る感じではなかったので、画像掲載はできませんが、一度は是非いかれてみてください。

(Translated by Google) The museum still adheres to the policy it established when it first opened that "tools are only useful when they are used," and it is truly admirable that they still serve tea at tea ceremonies even with national treasure-class utensils. There is something special about the feeling you get from holding the utensils in the palm of your hand, rather than looking at them through a glass case. It's a wonderful place where children can experience the real thing. (Original) 「道具は使ってこそ」という開館時のポリシーを今も守り、国宝級の御道具であっても、お茶席で実際に呈茶に出して下さるその心粋は本当に頭が下がります。 ガラスケース越しでなく、掌にもったその感触からでしか得られない感覚は、格別。 子どもに本物を味わってもらえる有難い場所です。

(Translated by Google) The timing was perfect, and I was shown around the tea room without having to wait. During the tea ceremony, I was served tea in antique tea bowls, which was a truly valuable experience. I was also glad to be able to see the tea bowls in the exhibition room, including works by Living National Treasures and other tasteful and valuable pieces, as well as Rosanjin's brushstroke tea bowls. When I visited, the garden was under construction, so entering from the front was quite a detour, but I recommend going through the side entrance below the museum, which is closer. (Original) タイミングよく、待ちなしでお茶室を案内して頂きました。 お茶席では年代物のお茶碗で一服立てて頂き、とても貴重な体験をしました。 展示室のお茶碗も、人間国宝の作品や趣向ある貴重な作品、また魯山人の刷毛目茶碗も見れて良かったです。 訪れた時期 が庭園の工事中で正面から入るとかなり遠回りになりました、美術館下の通用口を通ると近いのでチェックすることをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) If you want to experience the tea ceremony, this is the place to go. You can enjoy tea in tea utensils that change depending on the season. I can't sit in seiza position for long periods of time, so I asked if it was okay to lower my posture, which they readily agreed to. I'm grateful that I was able to experience the ceremony in a very relaxed state. (Original) 茶道を体験したいならば、ここにいけば間違いありません。季節によって違う茶器で、お茶をいただけます。 当方、正座が長時間できないので、姿勢を崩してもよいですかとお聞きしたところ、快諾いただき助かりました。とてもリラックスした状態で体験できたこと感謝申し上げます。

A large building in a beautiful park. There were not many people here when we arrived. This allowed us to wander through at a leisurely pace. There was no English but that was okay as we were able to look at the stunning exhibits. For such a large building the four exhibits we saw did not seem to take up a lot of space.

Small space but good facility

(Translated by Google) I'm surprised that it's a general museum since it's municipally run and its target area is limited to Kashiwazaki City. It covers folklore, general regional history museums, geology, plants, animals, modern industry, and other general museum fields. Kashiwazaki City is a city with a strong base, but a city-run museum of this size is rare in a city with less than 100,000 people. However, it is worrisome that exhibits related to nuclear power plants, which are inseparable, are completely ignored. The museum lacks any atmosphere or spirit to attract tourists, making it more of a lifeless public facility, but since it's a pretty nice box, it seems like a fair number of seminars and the like are being held to make use of it. (Original) 市営で対象地域が柏崎市に限定されてるなかでの総合博物館とは驚きです。民俗学、一般的な地域歴史博物館、地質、植物、動物、近代産業とおおよその博物館的分野が網羅されています。柏崎市は拠点性のある都市ですが、十万人以下の都市でこの規模の市営博物館は珍しいかと。ただし切っても切れない原発関連の展示が全くスルーされてるのは気になる所ではあるのですが。 観光客を呼び寄せる雰囲気や気概が皆無の博物館で、活気のない公共施設然としてるのですが、かなり立派な箱物なので活用策としてセミナー等々はそこそこ開かれているようです。

(Translated by Google) It started raining, so I went in to kill some time and was surprised. As a city museum, the exhibits were easy to see and I learned about the history of Yoneyama.I was also able to see the planetarium, which lasted about 2 hours. I feel very satisfied. (Original) 雨が降ってきたので、時間つぶしのつもりで入ったらビックリ。市立の博物館としては展示物が見やすく米山の歴史もわかったし、ちょうどプラネタリウムも見ることが出来て２時間くらいいました。満足感が高いです。

(Translated by Google) I went to see the planetarium on a trip to the facility. The 50-minute program was very interesting. The exhibits were quick, but there was a lot to see, and I'd like to take my time and see them again. (Original) 施設のおでかけでプラネタリウムを観てきました。約50分のプログラムは、とっても面白かったです。 展示は駆け足でしたが、盛りだくさんで、もう一度ゆっくり見たいです。

(Translated by Google) I went for the first time on a Saturday before noon. There were about 3 groups of customers, so I was able to see it at a leisurely pace. I wanted to see the planetarium, but the screening on Saturday was around 2pm, so I went home without seeing it. There were various exhibits, and I thought it was a hidden gem. (Original) 土曜日のお昼前に初めて行きました。 お客さんが３組くらいで、ゆっくりと見れました。 プラネタリウムも見たかったけど、土曜日の上映は、午後２時頃だったので、見ずに帰りました。 いろんな展示があり、穴場だと思いました。

(Translated by Google) Tickets are required for the exhibition area (But some are not used) Today's visit was sparsely populated But at least the toilet is clean (Original) 展區需要門票 （但有幾個不用） 今天造訪人煙稀少 但至少廁所很乾淨

Nice one

(Translated by Google) Kashiwazaki City's manhole cards (9th edition, distributed on December 14, 2018) will be distributed from 9:00 to 17:00. However, it is closed during the year-end and New Year holidays. (Original) 柏崎市のマンホールカード（2018年12月14日に配布開始の第9弾）は9:00〜17:00に配布です。ただし年末年始は休みです。

(Translated by Google) Located inside Kashiwazaki Station. Is the building next to the police box an old one? Previously, I was given a manhole card. (Original) 柏崎駅構内にあります。交番の横の建物は昔のものかな？以前はマンホールカードがもらえました。

(Translated by Google) I went to get a manhole card. It will give you a map of where the actual colored manholes are, so it's easy to find them. (Original) マンホールカードをもらいに行きました。 実物のカラーマンホールが何処にあるか、地図をくれるので、見つけやすいです

(Translated by Google) It's good to have bicycle rentals Afterward, you can buy Kashiwazaki's specialties. Especially the delicacies of Tatsukaya, a specialty of Kashiwazaki. We recommend the salted sea urchin, jellyfish, and squid. It's delicious (Original) レンタサイクルがあるのは良い 後　柏崎の名産が買えます 特に柏崎の名産　田塚屋さんの珍味は お勧めです　うにクラゲやイカの塩辛は 美味しいですよ

(Translated by Google) It's 3pm on Saturday... It was a shame that it was closed even though it was located at the station. If we don't notify them in advance, people who come to Kashiwazaki sightseeing will be shocked, right? Isn't it okay to have at least one person? You can get a manhole card. (Original) 土曜日の午後３時ですが… 駅にあるのに、終了しているとは残念でした。 事前に告知しないと、柏崎観光に来た人はとてもとてもショックを受けるがあねえが？ 1人くらいいてもいいんじゃねえが？ マンホールカードがいただけます。

(Translated by Google) If you complete the dam tour stamp card and go to the tourist office, you will receive a premium dam card. The parking lot at the station is quite limited. (Original) ダムめぐりスタンプカードをコンプリートして観光協会へ行くとプレミアムダムカードをもらえます。 駅の駐車場はかなり少ないです。

Heaven on earth

Nice place... Making you feel relaxed.. 🌿🌳.💐 ...

(Translated by Google) There are a lot of families here, but I often go for a walk alone. It is a good environment with a variety of areas such as ponds, streams, wetlands, forests, and open fields. Personally, I like the flowers and various insects in early summer, and the sounds of dragonflies and bell bugs in autumn. (Original) 家族連れが多いですが、一人散歩で良く行きます。池や小川、湿地、森、原っぱと色んなエリアが凝縮されている良い環境です。個人的には初夏の花と色んな虫、秋のトンボと鈴虫の声が好きです。

(Translated by Google) The park is huge! And they are currently developing flower areas and facilities. Thanks to that, you can see a slightly different view every season. There is a cafe in the facility just before the entrance, so it's perfect for a light meal or soft serve ice cream when it's hot. (Original) 公園が広い！そして現在進行系で花エリアや施設を開拓しています。 そのおかげでシーズン毎にちょっとずつ違う景色が見ることができます。 入口手前の施設はカフェが入ってるので、簡単な食事、暑いときにはソフトクリームもあり丁度いいです

(Translated by Google) I went crayfish fishing. It's fun because you can catch a lot of fish. The high veranda is extremely wide, but it is well maintained. Children's play equipment is limited. It's quite spacious, so kids might get lost. Also, since it's in the mountains, you're likely to see bears. (Original) ザリガニ釣りに行きました。 すごい沢山釣れるので楽しいです。 高縁がものすごく広いですが、ちゃんと整備されています。 子供の遊具は少なめです。 かなり広いので、子供が迷子になるかもしれません。 あと、山の中なので熊とか出そうです。

(Translated by Google) A park in Kashiwazaki City that has been developed into a satoyama area. We maintain and manage the nature around us, such as reservoir ponds, wetlands, rice fields, and satoyama. The plants that grow naturally are common plants found in Niigata Prefecture, but the highlight here is the cluster of Japanese grasshoppers that grow in the wetlands from late May to early June. By dividing the plants that originally grew wild here and sowing seeds, we created the large colony that we have today. During the season, the center of the park is completely dyed blue with the flowers of the Japanese iris. There are many other things to see, such as wild cherry blossoms in spring and colored leaves in autumn, making it a place for residents to relax. (Original) 柏崎市にある里山を整備した公園。溜め池、湿地、田んぼ、里山等、身近な自然を整備、管理しています。自生している植物は、新潟県にある、ありふれた植物ですが、五月下旬から六月上旬にかけて、湿地に生えているカキツバタの群生が、ここの目玉です。元から、ここに自生していた物を株分け、種を蒔く等して、今の大群生地にしました。シーズンになりますと公園の中心部が、カキツバタの花で、一面、青く染まる程です。それ以外にも春のヤマザクラ、秋の紅葉と見る所は、多く、市民の憩いの場のひとつです✨。

(Translated by Google) This is the second time this year, but the timing didn't work out both times. (Original) 今年は2度目ですが2回ともタイミングが合いませんでした

Love it! A long, straightforward, neat and easy park. You can walk on the raised area overlooking the sea or through the forest very easily.

(Translated by Google) A sand control forest of pine trees near the coast of Kashiwazaki has been turned into a park. To put it a little exaggeratedly, it felt like a mini-Kehi Matsubara, and it was a great place to stroll around. I was impressed by the grass and pine forest along the way that could be mistaken for a golf course. (Original) 柏崎の海岸近くの松の木の防砂林が公園になっています。ちよっと大袈裟に言えばミニ気比の松原といった感じで散策するのになかなか良かったです。 途中ゴルフ場と見間違えるような芝生と松林があったのが印象的でした。

(Translated by Google) The park is similar to Naoetsu's Funami Park (see separate article) in that it includes the ocean, but the spectacular view of the horizon as it passes through the pine forest is breathtakingly beautiful, and according to the locals, it is the best at this time of year. Even Sado Island, which is difficult to see due to the haze, was clearly visible. The way the clouds in the sky line up is exquisite, and I'm very satisfied with being able to take photos that can only be taken at this time of year. However, it is also true that the sight of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in the distance (although I am not an opponent of nuclear power) cast a bit of a shadow on the landscape. Even though I know it can't be helped because it's a necessary existence. (Original) 海を含む公園、という状況は直江津の船見公園(別稿参照)と変わらないのだが、松林を抜けて視界に飛び込んだ水平線の絶景は思わず声が出るほど素晴らしく、地元の方によるとこの時期は霞んで見えないという佐渡島までも島影をくっきり確認。上空の雲の棚引き方も絶妙でまさしく「この時期にしか撮れない写真」が撮影でき満足度高し。ただ遠くに見える柏崎刈羽原発の姿は(原発反対論者ではないが)些か風景に影を落としていたのもまた事実。必要な存在だから仕方ないと分かってはいても。

Kids can enjoy a shallow pool and a streaming pool even in the winter. It is not really crowded in the winter. The whole pool is not so large so it is too much crowded to swim in the summer.

Lots of fun. Good pools and a nice slides too. Water is quite warm but was there in September.

Nice pools

sports

(Translated by Google) I used the bath, but the sauna was really good. Although the sauna temperature is quite low at just under 80 degrees Celsius, the local radio is playing, making you sweat and feel refreshed. The temperature of the water bath is a little lukewarm, but it feels good. The bath usage fee is 530 yen. The towel set is 200 yen. (Original) お風呂を利用したがサウナがなんとも良い。サウナ温度は80℃弱とかなり低いものの、ローカルラジオが流れていてじんわりと汗が流れ爽快感がある。水風呂の温度も若干ぬるいがこれはこれで気持ちが良い。 浴場利用料は530円。タオルセットは200円。

(Translated by Google) A swimming facility with a 50m indoor pool, which is considered to be rare in this area. The poster, who is a serious swimmer, didn't pay attention to anything else and only used the pool and bathroom, but there seems to be a separate "leisure pool" and there may be an outdoor pool as well (perhaps it's the same as the beach). However, perhaps due to the timing, all the windows in the indoor pool were closed with blinds, so even though it was summer, I had to swim under dim lighting, which somewhat diminished the sense of freedom. Additionally, we do not accept tickets for shared use of the bathroom with the pool, so you must exit and pay for one before entering. As a small detail, I find it a bit unconvincing that the lockers at the pool cost 100 yen and cannot be returned, but the lockers in the bathroom can be rented out for free (you receive a private key), and I would like to see improvements made if possible. (Original) この地域では希少と思われる50ｍ屋内プールを擁する水泳施設。ガチ泳ぎ勢の投稿者は他に目もくれずプールと浴室だけを利用したのだが、別に「レジャープール」があるらしくそこには屋外プールもあるのかもしれない(海水浴場と被るか)。ただ時期柄仕方ないのか屋内プールの窓はすべてブラインドが掛かっており、夏だというのに薄暗い照明の下で泳ぐことになり解放感をやや削がれてしまったのは残念と言えば残念。 また浴室はプールとの共同利用券などは扱っておらず、片方を退出精算してからの入場となる。細かいことだがプールのロッカーは返却なしの要100円だが浴室のロッカーは無料貸し出し(専用キーを受け取る)なのも少々納得のいかないところではあり、叶うなら改善を善処されたく思う仕儀。

(Translated by Google) There are four Ukawa Shrines in Kashiwazaki City (Biwajima, Shindo, Noda, and Takao), but this Ukawa Shrine is famous for its large zelkova tree. I didn't have a chance to go there, but the nice weather invited me to visit. I am grateful to the priest for guiding me and explaining various things to the mother hall. In addition, the large zelkova tree is worth seeing! The plaque reading ``Ugawa Shrine'' was written by Army General Soroku Suzuki. ○Ugawa Hachimangu Shrine Shindo Village (Shirakawa Fudoki) Company land: 6 ken from east to west, 16 ken from north to south Shrike Minowa Suruga It is located on the bank of the Ugawa River, and its history dates back to the 1st year of the Genryaku era, when the lord Yoritomo, Yasuhira Oshu, was defeated, and the Hokuriku region generals Hiki Toshiro Yoshikata and Usami Sanemasa visited Kamakura. After encountering a rainy day in Kashiwabara (now Kashiwazaki), he prayed for good weather in Hachiman and gained experience, and even when it became the territory of the Uesugi family, it was revered with donations etc. Juhachijo rare old tree) Head office: 2 ken, 2 shaku, 2 ken, 1 shaku The hall is 9 shaku between two rooms.

(Translated by Google) I was intrigued by the signboard along the road and visited. It was a nice and peaceful shrine. ■Impressions ・The fine zelkova looks like Ghibli. ・Omikuji was 50 yen (2018.8) ・There is no parking lot, which is a bit inconvenient. It's a wonderful shrine that feels rooted in the area. (Original) 道路沿いの看板で気になり訪問。 穏やかないい感じの神社でした。 ■感想 ・立派なケヤキがジブリっぽい。 ・おみくじが50円でした(2018.8) ・駐車場が無いのが、ちょっと不便。 地域に根ざした感じのする、素敵な神社です。

(Translated by Google) I went to see the hanging scroll of the Nirvana statue on the Autumn Equinox being dried in the sun. Other works were also explained in detail. I was able to come into contact with some valuable works. (Original) 秋彼岸の涅槃像の掛軸の日干しという事の公開に行ってきました。ほかの作品も丁寧に説明をいただきました。貴重な作品にふれる事ができました。

(Translated by Google) When I first visited, the chief priest and his wife made me feel very welcome, as I told them that I came from Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture. I think they carefully explained and guided us around the inside of the main hall. When I asked about the grave of Katsunosuke Watanabe, the author of the ``Kashiwazaki Diary,'' the chief priest himself climbed the mountain in the back of the temple in the rain and carefully showed me not only the graves of Katsunosuke, but also the graves of related Kuwana feudal clansmen. . At that time, I was told by Katsunosuke's wife that the grave of Kiku, Katsunosuke's wife, was located at another ○○ temple in the city. I was very surprised as this was my first time hearing about it. However, due to time constraints, I was not able to visit the temple after that, and I later forgot what kind of temple it was. Next time, about a year later, I had a chance to pass through Kashiwazaki, and this time I thought I would go to the chrysanthemum grave. However, I couldn't remember the name of the temple, and I couldn't find it even after searching the internet. I thought it would be an inconvenience, but he suddenly visited me again and explained the situation, and once again gave me detailed instructions (Kikeiyama Nishineiji Temple). Coincidentally, this was also the day and venue for the release of a modern translation of the ``Kashiwazaki Diary,'' self-published by local volunteers, so I felt a strange connection and decided to purchase it. I did. I would like to visit again sometime when I have time. (Original) 初めて訪れた時に「三重県桑名市から来た」と言ったのだったか、御住職夫婦に大変歓迎して頂けました。本堂内を丁寧に解説して案内してくださったように思います。「柏崎日記」の著者、渡部勝之助の墓を尋ねると、雨降る中、ご住職自ら裏の墓山に登って、勝之助のみならず、関連の桑名藩士の墓も丁寧に教えてくださりました。この時に奥様から、勝之助の妻、菊の墓は市内の別の○○寺にあると教えてもらって、初耳だったので大変驚きました。ただ、この後は時間の都合でその寺には訪れることができず、また、なんという寺だったかも後々忘れてしまいました。 次は一年くらい後、柏崎を通る機会があり、今度は菊の墓へ行こうと思いたちました。ですが、どうしても寺の名前が思い出せず、また、ネットを検索してもわかりませんでした。ご迷惑だとは思いましたが、またも突然訪ねて事情を説明、またも丁寧に教えて下さいました(帰敬山西永寺)。この時は偶然にも、地元有志の方々による自費出版による「柏崎日記」の現代語訳本の発売日、発売会場になっているということで、不思議な縁を感じつつ私も購入させて頂きました。 またいつか時間に余裕をもって訪れたいです。

(Translated by Google) Every year during the autumn equinox season, temple treasures are displayed to the public during the drying of insects. You can view the ``Kanmuryoju Sutra Mandala'' and ``Nirvana Statue'', which are designated as city cultural assets, for free. [Place related to Teishinni] During Teishinni's time at Fukyuan, he received various assistance from Seisho Shonin, the 28th head of Gokurakuji Temple, and as a result of this connection, numerous inscriptions remain, including a collection of poems written by Teishinni and letters addressed to the priest. Also in the collection is a portrait of Teishinni in her later years when she was ill, drawn by a priest. [Agency for Cultural Affairs/Registered Tangible Cultural Properties (Buildings)] On October 28, 2011, the sutra, kuri, temple gate, shoin, bell tower, and main hall were registered. ○Gokurakuji Okubo Village (Shirakawa Fudoki) Precincts: 26 spaces from east to west, 20 spaces from north to south It is located in Higashi 2-cho of the village, and in the Jodo sect, the mountain is called Hokozan and the temple is Anyo-in. It is the last mountain of Kyoshi Chion-in. It was originally a Shingon sect, and was a scholar monk of Mt. Koya in the second year of Kasho, and Ushu Yudono. He stayed here from the time of his pilgrimage to the mountains and built Gokuraku-ji Temple, and in the second year of the Shōan period, the sect changed its tenets due to the residence of a Jodo sect monk named Shimaa, and it became the site of the great treasure pagoda of the ancient Shingon sect. Therefore, the mountain name became Toya. Guest hall: 11 to 12 rooms, principal image of Amida, wooden Buddha, standing statue, three feet long, said to be the work of Keishin.
