Beautiful garden, and surprisingly it's free.

Small but quiet and beautiful

nice

(Translated by Google) I visited in October 2024. This garden, centered around a pond, was apparently once the villa of the feudal lord of Tsuyama. It's well-maintained, but admission is free, and I saw many local residents strolling around. There were lotus flowers growing in the large pond, which I imagine would be incredibly beautiful during the flowering season. I wondered where the pond's water came from, and after searching for the source, I discovered that water was drawn in from an external waterway on the north side, flowing around a small stream within the garden before flowing into the large pond and then being discharged out the south side. I was impressed by how well-thought-out the garden was. The trees in the back were also impressive and well-maintained, and I personally found them more impressive than the pond. The entrance is adjacent to a school field, and on the day I visited, I could hear the voices of students practicing baseball. Rather than being a special place, it feels more like a relaxing spot in everyday life. It's only about a five-minute drive from Tsuyama Castle, so it's a good idea to visit both. The facility's parking lot is large enough to accommodate a few cars, but you can also use the city hall parking lot across the street from the entrance for free. (Original) 2024年10月に訪問しました。池を中心にした庭園で、かっては津山藩主の別邸だったそうです。よく手入れされていますが入園は無料で、近所にお住まいっぽい方々が散歩されていました。 大きな池には蓮が生えていたので開花シーズンはとても綺麗だと思います。池の水がどこから来ているのか？と思い水源を探したところ、北側にある外部の水路から水が引き込まれ、園内の小川をぐるっと巡って大きな池に流れ込み、そして南側から外部に排出されていく様子を確認できました。良く考えられているなと感心しました。また奥の方に植えてある木々も立派で手入れされており、個人的には池よりこちらの方が見応えがありました。 入口付近は学校のグラウンドが隣接しており、訪問した日は野球の練習をする生徒さん達の声も聞こえておりました。特別な場所というより日常の中にあるゆったりスポット的な存在だと感じます。 車で津山城から5分程度なのでセットでうかがうのがいいと思います。施設自体の駐車場は数台停めれる程度の広さですが、入口から道路を挟んで反対側にある市役所の駐車場も無料で利用できます。

You can buy muscats here and send them. Not expensive. There is a huge Gundam, a man made all by himself. It’s worth to visit here

(Translated by Google) It's a standard-sized roadside station, and you can buy locally grown produce and fruit at fairly low prices. The restaurant serves Tsuyama's specialty, hormone udon. Of particular note is the Z Gundam standing right next to the building. At about 7m in length, it's about one-third of the original scale. Although it's smaller than the Gundams at the Expo and Odaiba, it still has a strong presence. It's missing the shields on its back arms, which makes it feel a little lacking, but the Z Gundam's handsome features are still intact. (Original) 道の駅としては標準的な大きさで近隣で採れた農作物、果物がそこそこ安く買える。 食堂には津山名物ホルモンうどんなども。 特筆するのは、建物すぐ横に佇むzガンダム。全長7m位と設定の三分の一位の縮尺。 万博やお台場のガンダムに比べると小さめながら存在感はしっかりと。 背中腕の盾がないのでなんか物足りないところはあれど、zガンダムの端正な顔立ちはそのままに。

(Translated by Google) Tsuyama's specialty, local B-grade gourmet "Hormone Yakiudon," is delicious! The bell peppers are huge! I was surprised by the impact of the huge, thick bell peppers, but the horumon and thick udon noodles, and the sweet sauce made it perfect for eating with rice. I love horumon, so this dish, packed with various cuts, was very satisfying. I entered the restaurant at 12:45. Even though it was past lunchtime, there were about 15 people waiting at the touch panel. I was able to order around 1:00 PM, and my number was called around 1:25 PM. Once your order is complete, two receipts are printed. When your number is called, hand over the receipt with the number at the food collection counter. Despite the wait and line, I was able to enjoy a delicious lunch, so I'm very satisfied. I also bought some horumon udon as a souvenir. I'd like to enjoy horumon yakiudon at home too. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 津山名物のご当地B級グルメ『ホルモン焼きうどん』が旨い！ピーマンがデカい！ 肉厚の巨大ピーマンのインパクトに驚きながら、ホルモンと太めのうどん、そして、 ソースが甘めなのでご飯も進みます。 ホルモンが好きなので、さまざまな部位がたっぷり入ったホルモンは食べごたえがあります。 １２時４５分に入店。昼時を過ぎているのに、タッチパネルには１５人位並んでいました。注文できたのは１３時位で、番号を呼ばれたのが、１３時２５分位。 注文が完了すると２枚のレシートが出てきます。番号が呼ばれたら、料理の受取りカウンターで番号がある方のレシートを渡します。 並んでも、待っても、美味しいランチにありつけたので、大満足です。 お土産でもホルモンうどんを買いました。 自宅でもホルモン焼きうどんを楽しみたいと思います。 ご馳走さまでした。

(Translated by Google) I went to the Gundam roadside station for the first time in a while. I had the local B-grade gourmet dish, horumon yakisoba, at the cafeteria. It was packed with horumon! My jaw was sore lol. The taste was a little light, or rather sweet, so adding a little soy sauce made a huge difference. I'm not saying this is good or anything, but it's delicious with a little soy sauce. Gundam has been around for a long time, so there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it, but it's incredibly cool. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. (Original) ガンダムの道の駅に久々に行きました。 食堂でご当地B級グルメのホルモン焼きうどんをいただきました。 ホルモンはめちゃめちゃ入ってる！ 顎が疲れるw 味に関しては少し薄めと言うか甘めなので醤油を少し垂らすと素晴らしく味が変わります。 これがいいとかそう言うのではないけど醤油垂らすとうまいってことです。 ガンダムはまあ昔からあるので特筆すべきとこはないけど素晴らしくかっこいい。 近くに寄る機会があればぜひ立ち寄って欲しいところです。

(Translated by Google) Kumenosato Roadside Station, Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture The parking lot is spacious and easy to park in. There are restrooms and rest areas, and it's well-maintained. There are plenty of local souvenirs, and currently they have Shine Muscat grapes. The prices are reasonable. The vegetables are also beautiful and inexpensive! They also have sushi and prepared foods, and you can eat outside. There's a large Gundam in the plaza. It's a great place to take a break, enjoy the pleasant breeze, and do some shopping. There's also a dog run. (Original) 岡山県津山市　道の駅　久米の里 駐車場は広くて停めやすい お手洗い　休憩所があり綺麗に管理されていた お土産　地元物産がたくさんおいてあり今はシャインマスカットがありました。値段も安くお手頃価格です。野菜もきれいで安い！お寿司や惣菜もあり外で食べることもできます。 広場には大きなガンダムがありました。 風が気持ちよくお買い物もできてちょっと休憩するにはとてもいい場所です。 ドッグランもあります。

(Translated by Google) I came here for the hormone yakisoba. I was hungry, so I bought a set meal for 1,100 yen from the ticket machine. My order was called by number, but I was a little worried because I didn't know how long it would take for my food to arrive. It seems the order of serving also varies. What really caught my eye was the big bell pepper. Sweet and delicious. I added mayonnaise first, as I had expected from the appearance, and the peppery spiciness was milder, which was great. Satisfaction rating: 4.5. The only negative point is that it took a long time to serve. I was very satisfied with the taste. (Original) ホルモン焼きうどん目当てに来訪。 お腹が空いてたので、定食1100円を券売機で購入。 番号で呼ばれるのだが、着膳までの時間がわからないのは少し不安。 順序も前後するみたい。 やはり目をひくのは大きなピーマン。 甘くて美味しい。 見た目から予想して先にマヨネーズ追加したら、胡椒辛さもマイルドになってGOOD。 満足度4.5です。 マイナスポイントは提供時間の長さ。 味については大満足。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my motorcycle tour to see the Z Gundam. The Gundam was a lot bigger than I had imagined from looking at photos. To think that it was built by an individual...it's amazing. While I was there, I stopped by a restaurant to try Okayama's specialty, hormone udon. It was delicious. (Original) Zガンダムを見ようと、バイクでツーリングして寄りました。 ガンダムは写真で見て感じていたより、かなり大きかった。 これを個人が作ったとは…素晴らしいです。 来たついでにお店で岡山名物ホルモンうどんを食べました。 美味しかったー。

It's a bit strange. It is a place which has 20 thousand natural specimens. Many labels are handwritten. The founder clearly put a lot of love into their work. Maybe that person died and now others dont care for the building? They have so much, and many endangered species from before the laws were changed. The building itself is an old church and kinda falling apart. It smelled of moth balls. It's a very eerie contrast with the meticulous specimens. And they have a lot of them. They have a polar bear, lions, tigers. Even a baby lion. Very surreal experience.

This is an outstanding museum pertaining to creatures including mammals, shells, insects, and humans. It's certainly one of the best museums in Japan regarding the nature. It is sad that not a lot of people know this place. For the sake of the founder, Mr Mori Keizo, it is important for us to appreciatively preserve this museum for the generations to come.

The exhibits at the museum are amazing and miracle. We never prepare such kind of exhibits under current law. You should visit this museum in your life. Maybe, this could be the wonderful experience for your life.

(Translated by Google) I visited the museum for the first time during the night session, which started at 6:00 PM. 🔦 In pitch darkness, I wandered through exhibition rooms 1-15 using only my cell phone light. At first, I entered with an adventurous spirit, but I was overwhelmed by the beauty and power of nature, with so many exhibits, including stuffed animals, the first director's organs (photography prohibited), skeletal specimens, shells, and fossils. At the end, I was able to see only the silhouette of a stuffed elephant seal in the dark, but when they shone a light on it, even though I was an adult, I freaked out. lol I think it's even more enjoyable than visiting during the day. (Original) 18:00~のナイトミュージアムで初めて訪問しました🔦 真っ暗闇の中携帯のライトを頼りに館内1~15までの展示室を回りました。 最初は探検気分で入りましたが、剥製や初代館長の臓器(撮影禁止)、骨格標本、貝や化石などたくさんの展示があり自然の美しさと迫力に圧倒されました 最後の方にあったゾウアザラシの剥製を暗闇の中シルエットだけがわかる状態からライトを照らした時大人ながらビビり散らかしました笑 昼間に行くよりも更に楽しめると思います

(Translated by Google) What a wonderful collection! I was overwhelmed. I'm so happy to be able to see such a wide range of exhibits in Tsuyama without having to travel all the way to the faraway museum in Ueno. I was surprised by the generous display of polar foxes and polar bears outside the museum, but upon entering, my anticipation grew even stronger to be greeted by Joseph? Patrasche? Of course, there are many rare exhibits, but there are just so many. There are so many highlights that it's hard to say which one is the signature exhibit. Even the museum's first director is on display (!). The nostalgic exhibition hall, housed in a former high school, is tastefully decorated with handwritten guides and explanatory boards, and the floorboards creak when you walk on them. Even today, the outside temperature in August was nearly 40°C, but the inside of the hall was chilly. The rooms, each with their own exhibit, are connected like a maze, and the strange little details are part of its charm. The chirping of cicadas can be heard in every room, and I thought it was just tasteful background music for summer vacation, but I was wrong! It was coming from between the gaps in the walls. It was a live performance... Times have changed, and it is no longer possible to obtain all these exhibits or to enjoy this romantic wooden architecture. I hope that it will continue to exist for a long time to come. (Original) 素晴らしいコレクションの数々!! 圧倒されました。 遠い上野の博物館まで行かなくても、津山でこれだけの展示品が見られるなんて幸せ。 館外の看板展示のホッキョクギツネ＆ホッキョクグマという気前の良さに驚きながら入館すると、ヨーゼフ？ パトラッシュ？ のお出迎えにますます期待がつのります。 希少な展示物が多いのはもちろんですが、とにかく数が多い。 目玉と言えるものがたくさんあり過ぎて、どれを代表展示物と言ってよいのか。 初代の館長さんまで展示（！）されています。 高校を利用したという年季の入ったノスタルジックな展示館に、筆文字手書きの案内文や解説ボードも味わい深く、歩くと床板はギシギシ。 8月の外気温は今日も40℃近くても館内はヒンヤリ。 展示内容に応じた部屋も迷路みたいに繋がり、こまごまとナンジャコリャなところもご愛嬌です。 どの部屋でも聞こえる蝉しぐれ、夏休みのセンスの良いBGMかと思ってたら違った！ 壁のスキマから聞こえてた。ライブだった·····。 時代が変わり、これだけの展示品を入手するのもロマンある木造建築も、現在はもう不可能。 ぜひ末永く存続していただきたいです。

(Translated by Google) This place is amazing❗️ The vast number of stuffed animals on display and the loving explanations are amazing🤩 If you're an animal lover, I highly recommend a visit❗️ It's located on the site of a former school, so it's perfect for those who love old school buildings👍 For those with children, strollers are available on every floor, but they have poor cornering ability, making them difficult to use🙋 There is no elevator, so you'll have to take the stairs up to the third floor. (Original) ここは素晴らしいですね❗️ 動物の剥製の展示数の多さ•愛のこもった解説の数々🤩 動物好きならぜひ一度訪れることをおすすめします❗️ 学校跡地を活用しており、古い校舎など好きな方にもピッタリです👍 子ども連れの方、ベビーカーは各階あるのですが、コーナリング性能が悪すぎるので使いにくいです🙋　エレベーターはなく、3階まで階段での移動となります。

(Translated by Google) I visited Nakayama Shrine⛩️, which I wanted to visit on the first day of the month. There is plenty of parking space up a slight slope🙆‍♀️ I thought there would be a lot of people there because it was the first day of the month, but it wasn't that many, and I was able to take my time visiting. The approach to the shrine is a straight, clean space with a view all the way to the worship hall at the back, and a large muku tree welcomes you. I also made sure to visit Saru Shrine⛩️ at the very back🙆‍♀️ I'll be back again!

(Translated by Google) The approach to the shrine is incredibly wide and the air is crisp and clear. Further inside, you'll find Sarujinja Shrine, which blends beautifully with the rocks. The grounds are home to many sacred trees, waka poems, and seasonal red spider lilies, which add a lovely touch.

(Translated by Google) An old merchant's house. It is a blessing that such historical buildings remain and that tourists can easily see them. Tsuyama City, which is currently in a state of decline, is a reminder of how vibrant it once was. I visited during the Okayama Mori Art Festival. The exhibit made good use of the building's history and structure, and I was satisfied with both the art and the building. (Original) 昔の商人の家。 こういう歴史的な建物が残っていて、観光客が気軽に拝見できるのは有り難いことです。今は失礼ながら斜陽の津山市が、かつてどれほど元気があったかを偲ばせます。 岡山森の芸術祭で訪問しました。建物の歴史と構造がしっかりと活用された展示で、アートも建物も満足でした。

(Translated by Google) This is another amazing facility. There are no strange exhibits or warnings, and it is truly released as it is. You can see all the parts that were expanded during the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. The person managing the building was very kind and I could feel their love for the building. It looks like it will become a lodging facility, so I hope they don't mess around with it. (Original) これまたすごい施設。 変な展示とか注意書きが一切なく、本当にそのままの状態で解放されています。 江戸、明治、大正、昭和と増築された部分が全部見れます。 管理をしてらっしゃる方もすごく親切で、建物に対する愛情を感じました。 宿泊施設になってしまうようで、そのためにあれこれいじられない事を願っております

(Translated by Google) First of all, is it really okay to be allowed to tour such a historic building for free? That's what I thought 😄 At first, I went for a walk and just felt it, but before I knew it, a lot of time had passed. It is a space where you can feel the weight of history.

Also, the hallway with its Japanese bush warbler flooring was a highlight for the ferry.

(Translated by Google) This memorial museum introduces the scholars of the time, including Udagawa Genzui, Genshin, Yoan, and Mitsukuri Genpo, who studied Western science from the late Edo period through to the Meiji and Taisho periods and contributed to the modernization of Japan. Udagawa Yoan is the scholar who invented Japanese scientific terms such as "cell," "fiber," "oxygen," "hydrogen," "oxidation," "reduction," "temperature," and "pressure," and came up with the kanji reading of "coffee."

(Translated by Google) Located in a townscape preservation district along the Izumo Kaido, the Tsuyama Museum of Western Studies is a memorial museum showcasing scholars who made significant contributions to Japan's modernization from the Edo period through the Meiji and Taisho periods. I visited on a national holiday, and it was pretty empty. However, I found myself lost in time as I immersed myself in the tasteful building and well-thought-out exhibits. One of the most famous scholars is Udagawa Yoan. He coined the term "coffee," as well as modern-day scientific terms like "cell," "oxygen," "temperature," and "pressure." I was amazed by the exhibits! The exhibition room is lined with books and documents from the time, allowing you to experience the world of Dutch studies up close. The building is located next to the former residence of Mitsukuri Genpo, and its beautiful white walls create a tranquil space. Photography is not permitted inside the museum, but you can listen to the audio guide via QR code, so you can enjoy it at your leisure. There is also a small park and garden outside, making it a perfect place to stop by during your stroll. This museum is full of small discoveries that give you a glimpse into Tsuyama's intellectual side.

(Translated by Google) It was a museum centered on Dutch studies during the Edo period. I entered the field thinking it wasn't a field I was particularly interested in, but the content was quite difficult. Among them, the medical content left an impression on me, but I could hardly understand it. The building was beautiful and had a very quaint atmosphere, including the garden. I also think that the admission fee of 300 yen is not expensive. Photography was prohibited at the exhibition. (Original) 江戸時代の蘭学を中心とした博物館でした。 さほど興味のある分野でもないと思いつつ入ってみたのですが、内容としてはかなり難しかったです。 その中でも医学に関する内容が印象に残りつつも自分にはほとんど理解できませんでした＾＾；行ったときは中学生くらいの団体さんがいましたが、果たして理解できるのだろうかと・・・。 建物は綺麗で、庭も含めてなかなか趣のあるものでした。 また入館料￥300というのも、高くはないと思います。 展示は撮影禁止でした。

(Translated by Google) Mitsukuri Nenho...If you can read this easily, please go to the Western Studies Museum! ! I think it will be a day where you will be satisfied with the preciousness and abundance of the materials. (Mitsukuri Genpo) I couldn't read it at all, but as I twisted my head (lol), I felt like I was able to feel a little bit of the dawn of Japan. I had a great time and felt like I was back in my student days long ago. I had been wondering about this strange space on Joto Street for some time, and I was finally able to go there. Tsuyama, who has heard that there is nothing, is actually in modern times, I knew that he had played a wonderful role. First of all, watch the video that is shown on the floor immediately after entering the museum, and then once you enter, you will have some preliminary knowledge. I think it's a little easier to understand. (This is sold by the lady at the reception desk) There are some nice restaurants on Joto Street where you can have lunch. Please spend the day relaxing. (Original) 箕作阮甫…これがサラッと読める人はぜひ洋学資料館に行ってください！！その資料の貴重さ、多さに満足できる一日になると思います。(みつくりげんぽ)と全く読めなかった私も、首をひねりながら（笑）日本の夜明けを少し感じられたような気がして、 遠い昔の学生時代に戻ったような時間を過ごすことができました。 城東通りにちょっと不思議な空間があるな、と前から気になっていたのですが、やっと行くことができて、 何もない、と聞いてきた津山は実は近代において、 素晴らしい役割を果たしていたのだと、知ることができました。 まずは入館してからすぐのフロアで上映しているビデオを観てから、中に入られると予備知識ができて 少しはわかりやすいかと思います。(受付のお姉さんの受け売りです) 城東通りにはランチできる素敵なお店も何軒かあるので ぜひ一日ゆっくりと過ごしてくださいね。

(Translated by Google) I went to see Mitsukuri Genpo's former residence. The former residence of Natsuho Mitsukuri is located in a townhouse built in the old days of Joto, and the building has a typical townhouse structure. The site is 90 tsubo, and although it is small in scale, it is a magnificent structure. I didn't know who ``Ranpo Mitsukuri'' was, so I looked it up and found the following. Mitsukuri Nyoho was a doctor and Western scholar for the Tsuyama domain.He was ordered to translate the personal letter of the American president when Perry arrived in 1853, and when Russia's Putyatin arrived at the same time, he was sent to Nagasaki as a member of the negotiation team. It is said that he was a scholar who displayed great talent during Japan's opening to the world, including being dispatched to Japan. After the opening of the country, the Shogunate recognized the need for a full-fledged Western studies research and educational institution, and established the Bansho Research Institute in 1856, appointing Ruan Fu as its chief professor, and the Bansho Research Institute later became the University of Tokyo. It seems that it has developed. He is said to be ``Japan's first university professor.'' Mitsukuri Natsuho's former residence is the house where Natsuho Mitsukuri spent his childhood from birth until he was 13 years old. Nguyen Fu was born in 1799 as the son of Sadatatsu, a domain doctor. Having lost his father and older brother at an early age, he was forced to take over the family and devoted himself to studies from an early age. In 1822, he was appointed as a domain doctor and began commuting between Tsuyama and Edo, but around this time he studied Dutch studies under Genshin Udagawa and began his career as a Dutch scholar. After moving to Edo with his family in 1831, he held positions such as professor at the Bansho Research Institute, and was appointed as a retainer of the shogunate and was the author of many books on medicine, military tactics, Western geography, history, etc., including ``Japanese and Dutch Literature.'' He wrote and translated books and contributed to the development of Dutch studies at the end of the Edo period. (Original) 「箕作阮甫旧宅」(みつくりげんぽ)を見てきた。箕作阮甫旧宅は城東むかし町家にあり、建物は典型的な町家造り。敷地は９０坪で規模は小さいが立派な造り。 「箕作阮甫」さんを知らなかったので調べると以下の通り。 「箕作阮甫」は津山藩医で洋学者で、1853年のペリー来航時にアメリカ大統領の親書の翻訳を命ぜられたほか、同じ時期にロシアのプチャーチンがやって来た時は、交渉団の一員として長崎に派遣されるなど、日本の開国に際して大いに才能を発揮した学者だそうだ。開国後、本格的な洋学の研究・教育機関の必要性を認識した幕府は、1856年に蕃書調所を設立し、阮甫をその首席教授に任命、この蕃書調所が後に東京大学へと発展となったそうだ。「日本最初の大学教授」と言われている。 箕作阮甫旧宅は、箕作阮甫が生誕から１３歳までの少年期を過ごした家。阮甫は寛政１１年（１７９９）、藩医貞固の子として生まれ、早く父と兄を失ったため家を継ぐことになり、幼年期から学問に励んだ。文政５年（１８２２）に藩医に登用され、津山と江戸との間を往来するようになったが、このころ宇田川玄真について蘭学を学び、蘭学者としての途をたどり始めた。天保２年（１８３１）、家族とともに江戸表へ出て以後、蕃書調所教授等の職をあずかり、幕臣に挙げられ「和蘭文典」等、医学、兵学、西洋地理・歴史などに関する多くの著訳書を残し、幕末蘭学の発展に寄与した。

(Translated by Google) Today, we volunteered to clean up at Sakura Shrine in Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture. This is a historic shrine with ties to the Southern Court loyalist Kojima Takanori Ason and Emperor Godaigo. It is also the site of a famous anecdote (published in the Taiheiki) in which Takanori carved a poem for Emperor Go-Daigo on his way to exile in Oki at the end of the Kamakura period. The cross carved into the trunk of a cherry tree and the poem, > "Heaven, do not abandon Goujian. There is no time without Fanli" are still passed down as a symbol of loyalty. The grounds are tranquil and spacious, and include a literary monument with a sense of history, a wooden statue of Kojima Takanori, and a famous sword by Raikuni Gyosaku, making it a sacred place where you can feel at peace and dignified.
