There’s parking a few steps away, entrance is free. The wisteria wasn’t in full bloom yet when we visited, but it was still a sight to behold. The flowers smell so good.

Just the right timing,it was in full bloomed.Its a beautiful place. Good for relaxing 😌

I dropped by before going hiking.

I went here on 15th May, i don't see westeria season anymore :( what a waste😭

Great place

I want to ask when is the best time to come in 2020? Early April?

Somehow the nature here reminded me of Mongolian nature. Breathtaking!

NICE TEA WITH HIGH QUALITY.*********

Beautiful place with delicious dessert set and green tea.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended for the delicious tea and friendly staff. The hydrangea konpeito was also cute and would make a great souvenir. I'm from Hokkaido, but I stop by when I'm nearby. I would like to visit again(^^) (Original) 美味しいお茶と気さくな店員さんで、とてもオススメです。紫陽花の金平糖もかわいらしくお土産にもよかったです。 北海道からですが近くに来た時は寄らさせていただいています。 また足を運びたいと思っています(^^)

(Translated by Google) The Yame tea soft serve was delicious. You can also buy souvenirs. (Original) 八女茶ソフトか美味しかったです。お土産も買えます。

(Translated by Google) Visited in June 2025. The cold-brewed tea is delicious. The staff were kind and served us tea and sweets. Thank you very much. (Original) 2025.6訪問。 水出しのお茶が美味しいです。 お店の方は親切で、お茶とお菓子を出して頂きました。 ありがとうございます。

(Translated by Google) I love this matcha soft serve and go there when I miss it 😊 Sorry, the photo is not of the soft serve 💦 The tea is of course delicious, and you can buy good tea at a reasonable price, so I usually enjoy the soft serve and sweets at the cafe first, then buy some tea on the way home to enjoy at home 😊 (Original) こちらの抹茶ソフトが好きで、恋しくなったときに食べに行きます😊写真はソフトクリームじゃなくてすみません💦 お茶はもちろん美味しくて、手軽なお値段で良いお茶も購入して楽しめるので、先にソフトクリームやらスイーツをカフェで楽しんで帰りにお茶を買ってお家で楽しむ流れで利用させてもらってます😊

(Translated by Google) It was a little after 3pm on a Sunday and the store was quite busy. There was a tea shop next door, and people waiting to enter seemed to wait in the souvenir corner. I bought some fresh Yame tea. The cashier was very kind and taught me how to make delicious tea♥️ I don't like green tea, so I bought a small size because I felt it was worth trying the delicious new Yame tea. It was about 540 yen. There were also other delicious looking rice crackers on the sales floor, so I bought them as well👌🏻 ̖́-︎ When I got home and tried it, the nice aroma of fresh tea filled my nostrils, it was a rare experience♥️ I'm glad I bought it even though I had to wait in line for a while, and I'd like to use the tea shop again if I'm in the area. (ㆆᴗㆆ)♡ Payment methods include various credit cards and QR payments. There is also a parking lot in front of the store🚗³₃ (Original) 日曜の3時過ぎ、店内そこそこ賑わってました。 隣に茶屋があり、入店待ちの方が、お土産コーナーで待つシステムのようでした 八女茶の新茶を購入 レジの方がとても親切で、美味しいお茶のいれ方を教えてくださいました♥️ 緑茶が苦手な私は、美味しい八女の新茶なら試してみる価値を感じて、小さめのサイズを購入。 540円ほどでした。 売り場には、他にも美味しそうなおかきなどもあり、一緒に購入👌🏻 ̖́-︎ 帰って飲んでみたら、新茶の良い香りが鼻腔を抜ける、なかなか体験できない美味しいものでした♥️ 少し並んででも、購入して良かった、また近くに寄った際は、茶屋も利用したいです (ㆆᴗㆆ)♡ 支払いは、各種クレカ、QR決済など利用可能です。 店前に駐車場もあります🚗³₃

The dam is cool to see. If you go for rock climbing be prepared to go through path that are not being used much so it’s a bit jungly. Bolt seemed to be in good shape, but we could not climb as everything was soaked.

(Translated by Google) This dam is located along National Route 442. It is possible to drive above the dam, but please be careful as the road from the tunnel at the dam entrance to the exit onto National Route 442 is quite narrow and difficult to separate from oncoming vehicles. The management office is along the national highway about 5 minutes away from the dam itself, and there is no one in charge of dam cards on weekends and holidays, so you can get a dam card by taking the application form from the box at the entrance of the management office and mailing it in. (Original) 国道442号線沿いにあるダムです。 ダムの上は車で通行する事ができますがダム入口のトンネルから再び国道442号線に出るまでの道はかなり狭く対向車が来ると離合が困難なので注意してください。 管理事務所はダム本体から5分ほど離れた国道沿いにありダムカードは土日祝日は係の方がいないため管理事務所入口のボックスから申込用紙を取って郵送するとダムカードがもらえます。

(Translated by Google) The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and we were able to see cherry blossom snowstorms everywhere. A trip around the dam lake is about 12 km and takes about 2 and a half hours.Now is your chance. I was able to enjoy the beauty of nature. The scenery is spectacular, but the pavement is not well maintained, so you need to be careful about passing cars. Parking lots are available throughout the lake. There are two or three restrooms. You can shorten the journey by turning around at the bridge along the way. (Original) 桜は満開で桜吹雪もあちこちで見学できました。ダム湖一周で12キロ弱､2時間半の行程｡今がチャンスです。自然の造形美を堪能させてもらいました。 景色は素晴らしいですが舗道が整備されていないので往来車に注意が必要です。 駐車場は周湖のあちこちにあります。トイレは2､3箇所｡途中の橋で折り返せば短縮も可能｡

(Translated by Google) A vertical dam There is a famous spot called Heart Rock (it seems a little forced lol), but it is a great natural place worth seeing. When you visit here, be sure to visit the nearby Somono Suspension Bridge. Recommended. (Original) 縦長な感じのダム ハート岩という名所になっているスポット（多少強引な感じ笑）もありますが、見る価値かりの大自然 ここを訪れた際はぜひ近くのそもの大吊り橋へ。おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) I saw a heart-shaped rock on social media and went there. It's at Hinatakami Dam, but I couldn't find it. I got a little lost, but I finally saw it after going through a narrow road where it was difficult to pass other vehicles. It was a really big and impressive heart-shaped rock. When you cross the red bridge by car, there is a heart-shaped object and a bell on the way, and you can see it if you look towards the cliff. The air was clean and it felt good. However, it would be easier to find if there was a sign before crossing the bridge 🙂‍↕️ (Original) SNSでハート岩があるのを見て行って来ました。 日向神ダムにあるけどハート岩が分からず 少し迷子になりながら離合が難しい細い道を通りながらやっと見れました。 凄い大きな立派なハート岩でした。赤い橋を車で渡ると途中にハートのオブジェと鐘があって 崖の方を見て見るとありますよ。 空気が綺麗で気持ち良かったです。 ただ橋を渡る前とかに看板があったら分かりやすいのに🙂‍↕️

(Translated by Google) I came here by motorcycle about 20 years ago. There was a sign saying the road was closed, so you may need to take a detour to get to Kedo Rock beyond the dam. (Original) 20年ぶりくらい前にバイクで来たことあります。通行止めとの看板があったので、ダムから先の蹴洞岩へは回り道する必要があるかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) I went there at night, hoping for a thrill and a taste of the supernatural. However, this is not a place to go for a joke. If something happens, it's your own responsibility. It was quite eerie, and I had a strong sense of being watched. I got out of the car and gave up exploring. I used Google Navigation, but it guided me down a narrow path below the dam, and there were no guardrails in places, so if I fell, it would be the end of my life. If you go at night, there is a memorial, so be sure to make an offering before exploring. P.S. This photo was taken before I greeted the memorial. It looks like there's something in it. I was able to zoom in more in my photo album and see it more clearly...it looks angry, as if to say, "What's this thing?"... Before I left, I apologized to the memorial for causing a commotion. Next time, I'd like to visit during the day and offer offerings and incense. I was reminded that that place at night belongs to another world. Even as I write this, I feel a chill down my spine and it's a bit scary... (Original) スリルと超常の世界に触れたくて夜に行ってみました。ただ、ふざけた気持ちで行く所ではありません。何か起こっても自己責任です。かなり不気味で見られてる感覚が凄かったです。車から降りて探索は断念しました。Googleナビで行ったのですが、ダム下の細い道を案内されて、その道は所々ガードレールがないので落ちたら一巻の終わりです。 夜に行く際は慰霊碑がありますのできちんとお供えものをしてから探索してください。追記、写真は慰霊碑に挨拶する前に撮ったものです。何か写り込んでるように見えます。写真アルバムではもっと拡大して確認ができたのですが…何だコイツは？みたいな感じで怒っているように見えます…帰る前に慰霊碑にお騒がせした事を謝りました。今度は昼間にお邪魔してお供え物とお線香をあげに参りたいと思います。夜のあの場所は別の世界の方のテリトリーなのだと痛感しました。これを書いてるときにも背中がゾワッとしてちょっと怖かったです…

Resort is located up the hill at around 1500ft. More for summer activities like outdoor and trekking. Room is small but adequate for 4pax. Onsen is large and has both indoor and outdoor. Dinner are OK. Breakfast is basic, buffet style

Reasonable price and clean. Massive space with pool in summer, tennis courts and soccer ground

(Translated by Google) We were able to spend a relaxing time. There are 30 guest rooms on this vast site, so it was enjoyable without the crowded buffets and hot springs that are common on normal trips. I usually eat a lot at the greedy buffet, then have to wait in line to wash at the hot springs which are nearly full, so it was a relaxing and happy time. When I woke up, I was surrounded by lush greenery. I felt like I had learned the meaning of "paying money to travel." I would recommend this to anyone who is a little tired of the city. I would like to visit again. It was a really quiet environment. The hotel was also impeccable. (Original) ゆっくりした時間を過ごせました。 この広大な敷地に客室が30室ですから、いつもの旅行のように、バイキング、温泉等の混雑もなく楽しいものでした。 いつもは欲張りバイキングをたくさん食べ、満室に近い温泉で洗い場の順番待ち‥等なく、心落ち着く幸せな時間でした。 目が覚めると深緑の中でした。 「お金を払い旅行する」の意味を知らされたような気がします。 都会に多少疲れた方にはお勧めです。 また伺いたいと思います。 本当に静かな環境でした。 ホテルも申し分ないです。

(Translated by Google) I went to the pool during the summer vacation. First, the lighting was dim when I entered. The system is to buy a ticket from a ticket machine and hand it over to the receptionist, and apparently you can enter and exit on the same day. The woman at the reception desk was unfriendly and rude. She was clattering around with the tray where you put your money and seemed bored. I bought a swim ring, and although it was over 1,500 yen more expensive than other stores, they would inflate it for you. They have an air compressor for swim rings you bring with you, so you can fill them up as you like. There is artificial grass in front of the pool, and it's a good idea to lay out a tent or sheet there to reserve a spot. There are changing rooms. There is a snack bar near the pool. The pool has a shallow area and a deep flowing water pool about 110 cm deep. (Original) 夏休みにプールを利用。まず、入店して照明が暗い。券売機で券を購入して受付に渡すシステムで、当日中ならば出入りが可能らしい。受付の女性は無愛想で態度が悪い。お金を入れるトレーをカタカタしていて、暇そうにしていた。浮き輪を買ったが他店に比べて1500円以上高いがエアーを入れてもらえる。自分で持っていく浮き輪にはエアーコンプレッサーがあるので自由に入れられる。プール手前には人工芝生がありそこで各自テントやらシートやら敷いて場所取りしておくのが良い。更衣室あり。プール付近に軽食屋さんがある。プールは浅いところや、110センチくらいの深い流水プールがある。

(Translated by Google) The breeze is cool, and you can view the exhibits under a roof, so you don't get sunburned. They sell everything you need, so that's helpful. There are also a variety of slides to choose from, large, medium and small, which looked fun. (Original) 風が涼しい、屋根の下で見学できるので、日焼けも少ない。 必要なものが、ちゃんと売ってあるので助かります。 滑り台も、大中小あり選べて楽しそうでした

(Translated by Google) I used the drop-in bath. There is a discount with JAF. 510 yen → 410 yen. Shoebox 10 yen, locker 10 yen. I went on a weekday, so there were few people and there was a sauna, so I was able to relax. The open-air bath was for tea, but it has no roof, so the sun is strong in the coming season. (Original) 立ち寄り湯を利用しました JAFで割引有りです。510円→410円 靴箱10円、ロッカー10円 平日に行きましたが人も少なくサウナも有るんでゆっくり出来ました 露天風呂がお茶湯になってましたが屋根が無いのでこれからの季節日差しがキツイです

(Translated by Google) We stayed at the dog cottage with our dog. You can drive all the way around the main building and drive up to the front door. The road is narrow and has some sharp curves, but if you drive carefully, you'll be fine. The cottage is spacious, with high ceilings and a maisonette-style loft. It's fully equipped with a kitchen but no microwave. Doggie litter boxes are also provided, so you can stay empty-handed. It was a cold day, but the heater and humidifier made it comfortable. The large public bath is a shortcut away using the stairs at the back. It's pitch black, but flashlights are provided. There's also a large dog run in the garden a little further away. It was a theme park that dogs can't resist. (Original) ワンコ連れでドッグコテージを利用しました。 本館をぐるっと回って、車で玄関まで付けられます。道が狭くて急カーブですが、慎重に運転すればOK。 コテージの中は広くて天井も高くて、ロフトもあるメゾネットタイプ。キッチン完備ですが電子レンジはなし。ワンコトイレグッズもバッチリで、手ぶらで泊まれます。 寒い日でしたが、暖房＆加湿器完備で快適でした。 大浴場へは裏の階段つかえば近道。真っ暗ですけど、懐中電灯も完備。ちょっと離れた庭には、大きなドッグランも完備。 犬連れにはたまらないテーマパークでした。

(Translated by Google) Go south on Prefectural Route 743, cross the Chikugo River Bridge, turn left immediately after leaving the village, and the shrine will be on your left. This is a concrete building that is sometimes seen here and there. It has a clean structure with night lights, torii gates, pillars, guardian dogs, shrines, and stone construction as the main themes. It is a separate type of worship hall and main hall. (Original) 県道７４３を南下し、筑後川橋を渡り集落をすぐに左折するとその先左手に神社は鎮座している。時々散見されるコンクリート造りの御社である。常夜燈、鳥居、標柱、狛犬、御社と石造を基調としたすっきりした造りである。拝殿と本殿の分離型である。

Good for photoshoot and wedding events

(Translated by Google) Last Sunday of February 2021, I went to the ``Yame Bonbori Festival'' being held in Fukushima Chiku Ward, Yame City. Event-related matters due to the coronavirus pandemic It seems that it has been cancelled. While strolling along Shirakabe-dori while visiting the Hina dolls, I came across the splendid white-walled mansion "Former Kinoshita Family Residence (Sakaiya)" and was told that it was managed as a cultural asset by the city and could be viewed for free, so I immediately went inside. visit. Built in the late Meiji period, it was a ``residence with a detached parlor and a warehouse.'' The view of the garden, white walls, and warehouse from the parlor was beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds. It was great to be able to see the beautiful Hakobina dolls with a history in the tatami room.

The old house, garden, and storehouse are all impressive and worth seeing There is a rest area near the entrance to the exterior wall, and when you see local elementary school children sitting there eating snacks and chatting away, you can feel that cultural assets and everyday life coexist and prosper together It is a fine cultural asset, so I hope it will be passed down for many years to come (Original) 江戸時代から明治時代にかけて酒造業などで財を成した旧家 八女市の指定文化財として邸宅が公開されています 乃木希典も宿泊されたとか… 旧居も庭も蔵も立派で見応えがあります 外壁入口付近に休憩できるスペースがあるのですが､近所の小学生が座って駄菓子を食べながらワイワイお喋りしている姿を見ると､文化財と生活が共存共栄されているのを感じました 立派な文化財なので末永く継承されて欲しいです

They are very particular about their work (including stories about their commitment to prosperity), so please come and listen to them! (Original) 八女のぼんぼり祭りで訪問しました！管理人の方に色々丁寧に教えていただきました！こだわりがすごい(繁盛へのこだわりの話など)是非行かれて聞いてみてください！

The staff member gave us a detailed explanation (free of charge). (Original) 明治末期に完成した離れ座敷。 酒造や林業で財を成したようで、立派な建物です。 係りの方に丁寧に説明していただきました(無料です)。

Park your car at the Yame Tourist and Local Products Center and walk towards the large NTT antenna. (Original) 八女の白壁の町並みを歩いています。昭和にタイムスリップしてしまいました。ノスタルジーの極みです。八女の観光物産館に車を止めてＮＴＴの大きなアンテナ方面へ歩くとすぐです。

(Translated by Google) Although it is not a place or building that is involved in important history, it is a rare place in this cityscape that is open to the public. It's well-maintained and free to enter, so it's a place where tourists can easily stop by. (Original) 重要な歴史には関わってる場所や建物ではないが、この街並みの中では一般公開されている稀有な場所。 綺麗に整備され、無料で入れるので観光で来た人がサラッと寄れる場所でもあります。

(Translated by Google) Admission was free and we were treated with kindness. There is a passageway that leads to Iwatoyama Tumulus, and it is a short walk from the exchange center. Although the tomb has not been maintained, its shape remains intact. Is it okay to climb the burial mound? Is it bad? I can't judge, but I didn't climb it. The stone figures and clay figures in the museum are wonderful. I wish the people at the museum knew more about ancient tombs. . That's what I thought. Also, it is a pity that materials and booklets about the ancient tombs and ruins of this town are not for sale. (Original) 無料で入館出来、親切に対応して頂きました。 岩戸山古墳につながる通路があり、交流館から歩いてすぐです。 古墳は整備されてはいませんが、しっかり形状が残っています。墳丘に登っても良いのか？悪いのか？は判断できませんが、登りませんでした。 資料館の中の石人などや埴輪が素晴らしいです。 資料館の人がもう少し古墳に詳しければ。。と、思いました。 また、この町の古墳、遺跡の資料や冊子が販売されてなかったのは残念です。

(Translated by Google) In addition to exhibiting valuable materials excavated from the Iwatoyama Tumulus and other Yame Tumulus Groups, the museum also serves as a place for interaction across generations and regions by disseminating information on various hands-on activities and events. The adjacent Iwatoyama Tumulus is the largest keyhole-shaped tumulus in northern Kyushu, and is said to be the tomb of Tsukushi no Kimiwai. The Tsukushi clan, Iwai, ruled over the entire Yame area, and it is said that his power extended as far as the Genkai Sea in the north and the Ariake Sea in the south.He had his own trade route with Silla on the Korean Peninsula, and was said to have boasted a power that rivaled the Yamato monarchy. The Iwai clan was defeated by the Yamato monarchy in the Iwai Rebellion in 527, and the Iwai clan declined, but a wealth of excavated artifacts that remember the glory of the Iwai clan are on display at the History and Culture Exchange Center. (Original) 岩戸山古墳をはじめ八女古墳群から出土した貴重な資料を展示するとともに、各種体験事業やイベント等の情報発信を通じて、世代や地域を超えた交流をはかる場となっています。 隣接する岩戸山古墳は北部九州最大の前方後円墳で、筑紫君磐井(つくしのきみいわい)の墓とされています。筑紫君磐井は八女一帯を支配し、その勢力は北は玄界灘、南は有明海までといわれ、朝鮮半島の新羅と独自の交易ルートを持ち、ヤマト王権に対抗するほどの勢力を誇ったということです。 527年の磐井の乱でヤマト王権に敗北し、磐井一族は衰退しますが、その磐井一族の栄華が偲ばれる豊富な出土品が歴史文化交流館で展示されています。

(Translated by Google) At the Ueno National Museum, there's a corner where this stone figure is exhibited alongside the national treasures that appear in textbooks, and there's also an introduction to Yame Iwatoyama. It's amazing that such a valuable national treasure-level exhibit is free... Yame City is amazing. The museum isn't large, but it's well-equipped. The facilities are also excellent! (Original) 上野の国立博物館だで、教科書に載る国宝級に並んでこちらの石人もコーナー展示してあり、八女岩戸山のことが紹介してあります。 そんな価値ある国宝級展示が無料だなんて・・ すごい八女市。 館内も広くはないけど充実してます。設備も素晴らしい！

(Translated by Google) Iwatoyama Kofun is one of Kyushu's largest keyhole-shaped tumuli. This museum primarily displays materials related to its burial deity, Tsukushi no Kimi Iwai, as well as unique stone figures and horses. Tsukushi no Kimi Iwai is portrayed differently in the Nihon Shoki and fragments of the Chikuzen Fudoki. Both sources are on display, and it's fascinating to compare the differences. During the reign of Emperor Keitai, Iwai united not only Tsukushi but also the powerful clans of Hi (Hi) and Toyo no Kuni to challenge the Yamato royal authority. Viewing the videos and materials in the museum conveys just how influential he was. Though he lost the battle, he is portrayed as a hero of Kyushu. Emperor Keitai's unusual origins, such that there is even a theory that he was the cause of a dynastic transition, suggesting that there was a lot of movement within the Yamato royal authority. Furthermore, on the Korean Peninsula, conflict between Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla was intensifying at the time. Iwai may have been one of those forced to make a choice. After the defeat, Iwai's son, Kuzuno, presented the Kasuya Miyake (storehouse) as a gift. This is said to have been the catalyst for the Yamato royal authority to establish a series of storehouses in northern Kyushu, strengthening its direct control. As an aside, the Nanotsuno Miyake (official family) was later established to oversee these storehouses, and after the Battle of Baekgang, this function was taken over by Dazaifu. I suddenly wondered, "Was there enough capacity to build Iwatoyama Kofun after that battle?", but it appears that the tomb was completed before the battle. The stone men and stone horses may look like simple, familiar stone statues, but the more I read about the documents, the more I realize that their existence is a unique cultural element not seen in other regions. The fact that their spread only stopped in northern Kyushu reminded me of dolmens. Dolmens spread eastward from Europe and were hugely popular on the Korean Peninsula, but stone men and stone horses are not found on the Korean Peninsula, where a similar stone statue culture seems to exist among nomadic peoples such as the Scythians and Turks of Central Asia. Come to think of it, horses were introduced to Japan around the 5th century. Considering that stone men and horses appeared around the same time, horses may have been a shocking presence to the people of that time. I can only imagine that the people who arrived with the horses may have also brought along related technology and stone statue culture. I imagine that the people of that time wanted to convey Iwai's prestige to future generations by decorating their kofun tombs with such stone horses, and I feel like I understand their feelings. (Original) 九州最大級の前方後円墳、岩戸山古墳。こちらの館では、その被葬者である筑紫君磐井（つくしのきみいわい）に関する資料と、独自色の強い「石人・石馬」の展示が中心となっています。 筑紫君磐井については、「日本書紀」と「筑前国風土記」の逸文とで描かれ方が異なります。どちらの資料も紹介されており、その差を見比べるのも面白いところです。継体天皇の時代、磐井は筑紫だけではなく、“火（肥）の国”と“豊の国”の豪族もまとめて、ヤマト王権に戦いを挑みました。館内のビデオや資料を観ると、彼がいかに有力な豪族だったか伝わってきます。戦いには敗れてしまいましたが、九州の英雄として描かれています。 継体天皇は王朝交代説があるほど異色の出自で、ヤマト王権内部にもさまざまな動きがあったと想像されます。そのうえ、朝鮮半島でも高句麗・百済・新羅の対立が激しさを増していた時期。磐井もまた、そのはざまで選択を迫られた一人だったのかもしれません。 敗北ののち、磐井の子・葛子は糟屋の屯倉（みやけ）を献上します。これをきっかけにヤマト王権は北部九州に屯倉を次々と設け、直接支配を強めていったそうです。余談ですが、その後これらの屯倉を統括する那津官家（なのつのみやけ）が置かれ、白村江の戦い以降は、その機能が大宰府へと受け継がれていきます。 ふと、「あの戦いのあとに、岩戸山古墳を築く余力はあったのだろうか？」と思いましたが、どうやら古墳は戦いの前に完成していたようです。 石人・石馬は、ただの親しみやすい石像にも見えますが、資料を読み進めると、その存在が他の地域では見られない特異な文化であることが分かってきます。伝播の範囲が北部九州で止まっているという点で、支石墓（ドルメン）を思い出しました。支石墓はヨーロッパから東へ広がり、朝鮮半島では大流行したのに比べて、石人・石馬はむしろ朝鮮半島では見られず、中央アジアのスキタイやテュルク系などの遊牧民族に似たような石像文化があるようです。 思えば、馬が日本に伝わったのは5世紀頃。同時期に石人・石馬が登場していることを考えると、当時の人々にとって馬は、衝撃的な存在だったのかもしれません。馬とともに渡来した人々が、関連する技術や石像の文化をも伝えたのだろうかと想像がふくらみます。当時の人たちは、そんな石の馬で古墳を飾ることで、磐井の威信を後世に伝えたかったのかなと思いつつ、その気持ちを分かった気になっています。

(Translated by Google) I had vaguely heard about the Iwai Rebellion. I had also vaguely heard about the Stone Mansion. I had heard that the Stone Mansion was attacked and destroyed during the Iwai Rebellion, so I had a dark image of it, but it was a lovely place with a very bright feel. Apparently the Stone Mansion was made from Aso's tuff, which is abundant there. I realised that there are ways of making things that are unique to that area. (Original) なんとなく聞いていた磐井の乱。 石人もなんとなく聞いていました。 磐井の乱で攻撃され石人が壊されたと聞いていたので暗いイメージを持っていましたが、とても明るい感じの素敵なところでした。 石人も阿蘇の凝灰岩がふんだんにあるので素材にしたとのこと。 その土地ならではの作り方ってあるんだなと実感しました。

(Translated by Google) This is a facility where you can learn about Tsukushi no Kimi Iwai, a powerful clan leader in Kyushu. In the exhibition room, you can see videos about Iwai and the stone figures and horses that are characteristic of the Iwatoyama Tomb. After the Iwai Rebellion (527), the tombs decorated with stone figures and horses began to change into decorated tombs. (Original) 九州の豪族である筑紫君磐井について学べる施設です。展示室では岩戸山古墳の特徴である石人石馬や磐井に関する映像等を見ることが出来ました。磐井の乱(527年)以後、石人石馬を施した古墳は装飾古墳へと変化を遂げて行きます。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located next to the Iwatoyama Kofun and displays artifacts excavated from the Iwatoyama Kofun Group. You can see that this area has been a region where culture flourished since the Kofun period, and that it is a historic region with ties to the central government during the subsequent Heian and Kamakura periods. Although it is a small local facility, the presentation and exhibits are professional, and it is surprising that admission is free. If there are any books on the history of the region to go with the exhibits, it would be worth purchasing. Leaving the back entrance of the building there is a walking path leading to the kofun. (Original) 岩戸山古墳の脇にあり岩戸山古墳群からの出土品を展示してある資料館です。この地域が古墳時代から文化が栄えた地域である事、その後の平安、鎌倉時代にかけての中央とのかかわりなど歴史ある地域である事が理解できます。 地方のこぢんまりとした施設ですが演出や展示品は本格的で、入場無料は驚きです。 展示品に合わせて地域の歴史に関する書物などあれば購入したいものです。 建物裏口を出ると古墳につながる遊歩道があります。

(Translated by Google) It is a deep shopping street where the scent of the Showa era remains. There are mainly restaurants, and there are a variety of old and new shops. (Original) 昭和の香りが色濃く残るディープ商店街です。主に飲食店が多く、　古くからのお店から新しいお店様々あります。

(Translated by Google) It is a small bar district with a forest surrounding the shrine. It started as a black market after the war. It seems that it was a market after the war, but for decades there were only snack shops, small restaurants, and drunks. It takes courage to enter the store on first glance, so ask a local to introduce you. My favorite was Kamaishi Kazuhisa, which only locals know. It closed on March 30, 2023 after 55 years of history. I'm very disappointed. Kazuhisa Kamaishi's entrance was narrow, but the building looked like an okiya, with narrow hallways that continued deeper and deeper into the building, and steep stairs leading to the second floor. I thought that if a fire broke out in the kitchen near the entrance, I would never be able to escape. However, it's so delicious that I always order kamameshi, yakitori (salt and sauce), salad with lots of mayonnaise and bananas, grilled squid, and chawan mushi in quick succession, and I end up eating so much that my stomach bursts open like a pregnant woman's belly. , I was about to give birth. Whenever I see a photo of Kazuhisa Kamameshi on the internet, I miss it because I will never be able to eat it again. (Original) 神社を囲むように林立する小さな飲み屋街です。戦後の闇市から始まりました。戦後は市場だったようですが、何十年も前からスナックや小料理屋、酔っぱらいしかいませんでした。一見さんで入店するのは勇気が要るので、地元民に紹介してもらいましょう。 一番のお気に入りは、地元民しか知らない釜飯一久でした。2023年3月30日、55年の歴史を持って閉店しました。とても残念です。 釜飯一久は玄関は狭いのに、細い廊下が奥へ奥へと続き、急な階段で2階へ上がる造りは、まるで置屋のような建物でした。玄関近くの調理場で火が出たら絶対逃げられないな、と思っていました。 しかし、兎に角、旨いので、いつも釜飯、焼き鳥（塩、タレ）、マヨネーズたっぷり＋バナナ入りのサラダ、烏賊焼き、茶碗蒸しと立て続けに注文し、食べ過ぎで胃が妊婦のお腹のようにはち切れて、出産しそうになっていました。 インターネット上で釜飯一久の写真が目に入ると、二度と食べられないので、恋しく思いますよ。

(Translated by Google) I don't know about the nighttime, but during the day during Golden Week, it wasn't very lively. (Original) 夜は分からんけどゴールデンウィークの昼間は活気が無かったです。

(Translated by Google) The feeling that time has stopped, the feeling that I shouldn't come... A sense of placelessness, deep feeling, and guilt I came here with a certain image in mind, Hidden shops for young people are opening their doors, It feels a little stylish, In that sense, it was surprising. (It was a little different from what I expected) This is probably because the town of Yame itself has transformed into such a place (artistically). This is also true of Dobashi Market. However, there is also an atmosphere like the other side of the Showa era. It is left everywhere. If you come at night, it has a more unique atmosphere. I think it's the location, I guess it's a little scary to go there just for fun. It's probably okay though. Also, there is a strong argument for “toilet” (two locations) (lol) If I go back a few years later, I feel like the atmosphere has changed again. It's not a bad thing to change, but I feel that the original atmosphere of Tsuchibashi Market should be carefully preserved. (Original) 時が止まってる感・来ちゃいけない感・ 場末感・ディープ感・後ろめたさ感が もっとあるイメージをもって訪れましたが、 若い方向けの隠れ家的なお店が参入してて、 ちょっとオシャレ感があり、 そういう意味では意外でした。 （ちょっと期待したものと少し違ってた） 八女の町自体がそんな風な場所に（アーティスティックに）変貌を遂げている所為でしょうね。 この土橋市場もまた然りです。 ただ昭和の裏側のような雰囲気も 随所に残されています。 夜に来ると、もっと独特の雰囲気が出る 場所と思いますが、 ちょっと面白半分で行くの怖いかな。 たぶん大丈夫だろうけど。 それから「便所」（２か所）の主張が強いです（笑） 数年後に訪れたら、また雰囲気が変わっているような気がします。 変わっていくのは悪いことではありませんが、 土橋市場の本来の雰囲気は大事に守ってほしいなと感じます。

(Translated by Google) I have a feeling that Tsuchibashi Market will become a very popular market in Japan in the next few months! Centered around Tsuchibashi Hachimangu Shrine, there was a cooperative association, and it was all three: mania, chaos, and retro. It was a wonderful place. (Original) 土橋市場は後数ヶ月したら日本でも超注目される市場になると予感しました！ 土橋八幡宮を中心として共同組合ありの、マニア、カオス、レトロと三拍子そろった。素晴らしい所でした。

(Translated by Google) It has a very nice rural feel and Showa era feel. It seems like something quite old. It's said to be a former black market product. There are also some stylish shops, so I would definitely stop by if I go to Yame again. I used to go there when my friend opened a store, but I wonder what happened? I'll try to contact you sometime in the new year. (Original) 田舎感・昭和感がとても良いです。 なんだかかなり古いもののようです。元・闇市だとか。 洒落たお店もあるし、また八女に行ったら是非寄りたいです。 友人がお店を出すと行っていましたが、どうなったのかな？ 年明けにでも連絡してみますね。

(Translated by Google) I heard that it was a place with a Showa atmosphere near my house, so I went there by moped. I wasn't sure if each one was elaborate or if they were intentionally left as they were, but I thought it was very interesting! Nuko was cute😊 (Original) 家の近いところに昭和の雰囲気がある場所と聞いたので原付で行きました。一つ一つ凝っていたりあえてそのままにされているのか分かりませんでしたけど僕の中ではとても面白い物だと思いました！ ヌコさん可愛かった😊

an attractive place to enjoy short trekking~

(Translated by Google) This is a temple of the Myoshinji sect of the Rinzai sect. In front of the main hall, there is space to park about 3 cars. While I was getting my goshuin stamp written, the chief priest suggested I climb Zazen Rock, which was another great way to practice. By the way, the fee for the goshuin is up to you. (Original) 臨済宗妙心寺派のお寺です。本堂の前に、３台程度車を停められるスペースがあります。 御朱印を書いて頂いてる間、住職様から座禅岩ヘ登ってみるよう勧められましたが、これがまた凄い修行の道でした。 ちなみに御朱印代は、お気持ちとなっています。

(Translated by Google) After praying, we received a handwritten goshuin (red seal of a temple). Then we went to Zazen Rock and enjoyed the view of the tea fields right in front of us. (Original) 参拝した後に手書きの御朱印をいただきました。そして座禅岩へと行き、眼前に迫る茶畑の景色を堪能出来ました。

(Translated by Google) It was a temple that was truly a power spot where you could feel the power. If you are climbing up to Zazen Rock, please wear sturdy shoes. The strange rock formations are also worth seeing and I would definitely like to visit again! (Original) 力を感じるまさにパワースポットの寺院でした。座禅岩まで登る方はしっかりした靴で登ってください。奇岩群も見ごたえがありまた是非いきたいとおもいます！

(Translated by Google) Today's trip, produced by a friend, ended at Reiganji, a Zen temple famous for being the birthplace of Yame tea. I grabbed the steering wheel and came to this temple without knowing anything about it, but the strangely shaped rocks I encountered here were amazing. Although I wasn't able to see all of them today, the stone Buddha statues carved into the rock walls were also impressive and clearly conveyed that this is a sacred place for training. It was a rare and valuable experience. (Original) 友人のプロデュースした本日の旅の終点は、八女茶発祥の寺として名高い、禅寺「霊巌寺」であった。まったく何のことも知らされずにハンドルを握りこの寺までやって来たが、ここで遭遇した奇岩は凄かった。本日はその総てを見ることはできなかったが、ほかにも岩壁に彫られた石仏の姿も迫力があり、ここが修業の霊場であることをひしひしと伝えてくれた。なかなかのめったに味わえない貴重な体験であった。

(Translated by Google) Chikugo Sanjusan Kannon Sacred Site. Rinzai Zen Zen Temple. The principal image is the Senju Kanzeon Bodhisattva. There are a lot of strangely shaped rocks in the surrounding area, and it looks like you could go around them, but I gave up on it because it was hot and the grass was growing and there were probably insects (>_<) The road to the main hall is narrow, so only compact cars can enter. If you have a large car, you will have to park at the Ocha no Koryukan parking lot at the foot of the mountain and then go up Gekisaka Hill or up some steep stairs (^^; However, the greenery of the tea fields and mountains visible from the main hall was very nice (*^^*) (Original) 筑後三十三観音霊場。臨済宗霊厳禅寺。 ご本尊は千手観世音菩薩。 周囲は奇妙な形の岩が沢山そびえ立ち、奇岩巡りが出来るようですが、暑いのと草が繁って虫が出そうなので断念(>_<) 本堂までの道は狭いのでコンパクトカーまでしか入れません。大きい車は麓のお茶の交流館駐車場に停めて、劇坂を登るか急な階段を登るしかありません(^^; ただ、本堂から見える茶畑や山々の緑がとても良かったです(*^^*)

(Translated by Google) On a warm Sunday in February, I went to Yame Tea, which is said to be the birthplace of Yame tea. 🚘 After praying at the temple, I wondered how far I had to go up the well-maintained stairs, but when I did, I found large rocks and stones 🪨, and when I climbed the chains further, a beautiful view and rare stones were waiting for me 🪨⛰️ I was mesmerized by the view for a while 😊 I'm glad I made it to the top~🤗 (Original) ２月ぽかぽか☀天気の日曜日、八女茶発祥の地と言う事で、行って来ました🚘 お寺でお参りして、整備された階段を「何処まで上がるの？」と思いながら、上がると、大きな岩や石🪨があり、更に鎖を登ると素敵な景色と希石が 待っていました🪨⛰️ しばし、景色に見とれていました😊 上まで登って良かった～🤗

(Translated by Google) I went to the 2022 "Hoshinohana Park Rhododendron Festival". I have been to several other rhododendron gardens, but the rhododendrons here are exceptionally beautiful. Immediately from the large parking lot, large rhododendrons are in bloom, and there is a gradual climb, but the asphalt makes it easy to walk. In addition, it is on a hill, so the view from the slightly elevated mountain has a sense of openness. The rhododendron flowers were beautiful, some dark and vivid, some translucent. It was in full bloom, probably because the flower husks had been removed. Seeing is believing. Even if you have visited another rhododendron garden before, we would like you to come and visit us. I think there was no entrance fee at that time, just a parking fee. (Original) 2022年の『星の花公園のシャクナゲまつり』に行きました。 今まで他に何ヵ所かのシャクナゲ園に行った事がありますが、こちらのシャクナゲは別格の美しさです。 広い駐車場からすぐに大きなシャクナゲが咲きほこり、緩やかに登りますが、アスファルトで整備されていて歩きやすいです。また、高台になっており小高い山からの景色は開放感があります。 シャクナゲの花は濃く鮮やかだったり、透明感があったりとそれぞれ美しかったです。花殻も取り除いてあるのか、満開でした。 百聞は一見にしかず。今まで、別のシャクナゲ園を見学された事がある方も、是非こちらに足を運んでいただきたいと思います。 当時、入場料はかからず、駐車料金だけだったと思います。

(Translated by Google) I saw a sign saying that there was a Rhododendron Festival and went there. It wasn't in full bloom, but it was beautiful. There were a lot of road closures, probably due to maintenance, but since it's on the top of a mountain, the ups and downs were perfect for a walk and felt very pleasant. There were decks and gazebos here and there that seemed perfect for spreading out lunch boxes. (Original) しゃくなげ祭りがあってると看板で見つけて行ってきました。満開では無かったのですが素晴らしかったです。手入れの関係なのか通行止めが目立ちましたが、山の上なのでアップダウンが散歩にもちょうど良く気持ちの良い感じでした。所々にお弁当広げるのにちょうど良さそうなデッキや東屋もありました。

(Translated by Google) reiwa 07,2025,04,27,sunday,23,04 pm just / sunny & clear There were a lot of rhododendrons, including ① flowers that are blooming now, ② flowers that have already fallen, and ③ flowers that have flower buds and are expected to bloom in the future...but relatively speaking, it felt like there were not many flowers. As for the flowers, they are basically white-flowered, so I don't know much about them, but I wonder if they have passed their flowering peak or if they will continue to bloom. (Original) reiwa 07,2025,04,27,sunday,23,04 pm just / sunny & clear シャクナゲ・・・① いま咲いている花、そして、もう、② 散ってしまった花、それから、③ 花芽がついていて、これから咲くであろう花と本当にいろいろとありましたが・・・相対的にはなにか、花は少ないように感じました。 花については基本的に、シロオトなので、よくわかりませんが「花のピークをすぎたのか？」「いまから、まだまだ、咲くのか」一体、どちらでしょうかね。

(Translated by Google) The [good] spots we will introduce today are: Rhododendrons at Hoshinohana Park, a tourist spot in Hoshino Village, Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture From April 9th ​​(Saturday) to May 1st (Sunday), 2022, the ``Hoshi-no-Hana Park Rhododendron Festival'' will be held, where approximately 30,000 Japanese and Western rhododendrons will be in full bloom on a vast 100ha site. The rhododendrons I saw last year were on a rainy day... This year, there is a clear blue sky without a single cloud. Rhododendrons that bloom brightly in the sunlight attract viewers. The view overlooking from an altitude of 500m was spectacular! ! Until last year, this Hoshi-no-Hana Park was operated and managed by Adachi Mokuzai, a timber business in Hoshino Village, but due to various circumstances, it was donated to Yame City. 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】スポットは、 福岡県八女市星野村にある観光スポット『星の花公園のシャクナゲ』 2022年4月9日(土)～5月1日(日)の期間、広大な敷地100haに約3万本の和・洋シャクナゲが咲き誇る『星の花公園シャクナゲまつり』が開催されています。 昨年観たシャクナゲは雨の日だったのですが… 今年は雲一つない青空が広がっています。 太陽の光を浴び、色鮮やかに咲くシャクナゲは観る人を惹きつけます。 標高500mから見下ろす景観は圧巻でした！！ こちらの星の花公園は、昨年まで星野村で木材業を営む足達木材が運営管理していましたが、諸事情があり八女市に寄付されたようです。 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) I came on 2021.04.21. Unfortunately, it was past its peak. It's a bit of a climb from the parking lot, but it's manageable even for people with weak legs. The ground is covered with wood chips, so it's soft and fluffy, but it might be difficult to push a wheelchair around. There are paved sections, so about half of it is okay. It wasn't very beautiful because I missed the flowering season, but the mountains are refreshing in the fresh green season. Next year I'll come a little earlier. (Original) 2021.04.21に来ました。 残念ですがピークを過ぎていました。 駐車場から少し登りますが足が弱い方でも何とかなる程度です。 地面には木のチップが敷いてあるのでフカフカですが、車椅子を押すのは難しいかと。 舗装部分も有りますので半分くらいは大丈夫です。 花の時期を逃したのであまり綺麗ではありませんでしたが新緑の季節の山は清々しいです。 来年はもう少し早めに来ます。

(Translated by Google) The forest owned by Adachi Mokuzai Co., Ltd. has been maintained and opened to the public. I also saw some maintenance work. Although there are many slopes, walking sticks are available for free rental, so even elderly people can enjoy the walk. Unfortunately, on the day I visited, it was cloudy and only 70% of the flowers were in bloom, but since it was at a high place, I was able to see the surrounding scenery. (Note) There are no restrooms, so it's better to go halfway. (Original) (株)足達木材さん所有の山林を整備して開放してあります。手入れ作業も見かけました。坂道が多い場所ですが、無料の杖の貸し出しがありますので、ご高齢の方でも楽しめます。 訪れた日は、残念なから曇りで花は7割程度の開花でしたが、高所なので周りの景色も一望できました。 (注)トイレはありませんので、途中で済ませたほうが良いです。

(Translated by Google) I visited because I was told that the event was going on until May 1st, but it seemed like most of the flowers had finished blooming and only a few varieties were blooming. The reception side looks like it's barely blooming, but the back side is almost completely wiped out... I don't know what I went for... . Was there any point in paying the admission fee? If it's finished blooming so far, shouldn't it be free? As a side note, there were a lot of bees, so avoid wearing black clothing. Rather than looking at the rhododendrons, all I remember is running away from the bees. It's a shame because I was looking forward to it. (Original) 5/1迄開催中とのことでお伺いしましたが、殆どが咲き終わり一部の品種しか咲いてない感じでした。 受付側は、かろうじて咲いているように見えますが、裏手はほぼ全滅… 何をしに行ったのか…分からなくなりました。。 入場料を払った意味があったのか？ ここまで、咲き終わっているならば、無料にしてもいいのでは？ 余談ですが、蜂が多かったので、黒い服装は避けて。シャクナゲを眺めるというより、蜂から逃げた記憶しか残っていません。 楽しみにしていたので残念です。

Went there with group of 15 people end of March . Super friendly owners who can communicate some english. Very nice Amaou strawberry. The only cons is they only have portable toilet. On the way back to Fukuoka can swing by Mizuki Fortress Ruins for Cherry Blossom experience and Dazaifu Tenmangu

Small and cute strawberry farm, have to take a bus from Kurume train station and walk abit more to get here! The views and quietness around this place is beautiful, makes for a nice day trip from Fukuoka! The owners/workers were so friendly and provided us gloves, scissors and plastic box to store whatever strawberries we picked. I ate some of them while picking and it was one of the freshest/sweetest strawberries 🍓 I have ever had!! Please do visit this farm and have a small day trip around Kurume if you are staying a few days in Fukuoka!

We went to this Strawberry farm as it is on the way between Saga and Kumamoto. 1 hour adult picking of Strawberries is ¥1800. We can choose from 3 greenhouses. The owner is very friendly! A note when driving, the number is a mobile number and hence you can’t find it on your car GPS. You might need to use Google Maps instead.

Fun activity for family, sweet strawberries and we get to bring home a small box of our harvested strawberries as a souvenir! Definitely one of the highlights of our Kyushu trip

Thank you for this very well maintained strawberry farm! The strawberries are fresh and sweet. The farm is very nice and clean. The owner is friendly and helpful. Our family enjoyed the time here very much.

2500 yen for one adult. Good place to bring kids to experience.

The strawberries are amazing! The staff and owner are very kind, too. Highly recommended. We will come back again!

Mystical place.

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful shrine that I've had the privilege of visiting many times. The pleasant, healing aura is felt here, and Yametsuhime's gentle, calm personality is apparent. No matter what season or weather I visit, I always come back feeling energized. (Original) こ゚縁があり何度となくお詣りさせていただいている 素敵な神社です。 とても心地よい御神氣が感じられ癒やされ 八女津媛さまの優しい穏やかなお人柄が伝わってきます。 どの季節、どんな天気の中で行っても凄くエネルギーを いただいて帰って来ることができます。

(Translated by Google) First visit, around noon on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. This shrine, tucked away on a mountain, had a solemn atmosphere. The parking lot was well-maintained, and the restrooms were clean. You can get a goshuin (temple seal) at the nearby Somanosato souvenir shop. (Original) 2025年10月28日(火)12時頃 初参拝 山の上にひっそりとある感じの神社で 厳かな雰囲気でした 駐車場も綺麗に整備され トイレも綺麗でした 御朱印は近くの杣のさと という 物産館でもらえます

(Translated by Google) This small shrine, a famous power spot in Yame, does not have an office. However, worshippers continue to arrive one after another. The parking lot appears to have space for about 13 cars. The highlight is the large rock in front of the main hall. You can purchase goshuin stamps and amulets at the cash register at the nearby roadside station (Soma no Sato). (Original) 八女の有名なパワースポット、小さな神社で社務所はありません。しかし、次から次に参拝者がやってきます。駐車場は13台程停められそうです。 拝殿前の大きな岩が圧巻です。 御朱印や御守りは、近くの道の駅（杣の里）のレジで購入出来ます。

(Translated by Google) It was my first time visiting. The origin of the name Yame. The bedrock next to the shrine is amazing. The water seeping out from the bedrock is fantastic and seems to give you power. Next time I want to go during the autumn leaves. (Original) 初めて訪れました。八女の名前の由来の地。社殿の横の岩盤が凄いです。岩盤から染み出る水が幻想的でパワーが貰えそうです。次は紅葉の時に行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) I happened to find this place and visited, but it wasn't very popular. The slightly cave-like scenery gave it a power spot feel. The name Yame is apparently derived from Yame-tsuhime. The large torii gate and large tree facing the road, along with the stairs leading up from there, immediately create a sense of atmosphere. From the parking lot, you'll enter the shrine grounds directly, so I recommend descending the road and passing through the torii gate if possible. Once you reach the top of the stairs and pass through the torii gate, a semi-cave-like landscape to the right of the shrine building will catch your eye. I think this view is the highlight. I recommend experiencing the atmosphere, including the shrine building where the statue of Yamehime welcomes you. It seems like it would be nice to visit during the autumn foliage season. There are two parking lots further ahead from the shrine, each with space for over 10 cars. There are also restrooms, so I imagine it's a popular destination. (Original) たまたま知って訪れたが、あまり人気がなかったり、少し洞窟感のある景観にパワースポット感を感じた 八女の地名も、この八女津媛から来てるらしい 道路に面し大きな鳥居と大樹、そこから登る階段にいきなり雰囲気を感じる 駐車場からだと、いきなり境内に入ることになるので、出来れば一度道を下ってこの鳥居を、くぐり行かれることをお勧めする 階段を登りつめた先にある鳥居をくぐると、社殿の右側の半洞窟のような景観が目に飛び込んでくる この景観が最大の見どころだと思う 八女媛の像が迎える社殿も含め、その雰囲気を感じて欲しい 紅葉の時期も良いようだ 駐車場は、神社より先に進んだ所に二つあり、10台以上は停められる トイレもあるので、訪れる人は多いのだろう

(Translated by Google) In search of beautiful scenery with clear blue sky and clear water, I visited Yametsuhime Shrine. She is the Goddess of Yame, enshrined in the village of Soma. She is quietly nestled deep in the mountains of Yabe Village, and above all, it is also the birthplace of the actress Kuroki Hitomi... Her appearance and appearance exude beauty from within. The shrine is unmanned, but you can take your time to worship. (Original) 山紫水明 美景を求め…八女津姫神社様に参拝させて頂きました。杣の里に鎮座させている八女の女神様です。矢部村の山奥にひっそりと佇まれ、何よりもあの女優 黒木瞳さんの御出身地でもあり…そのお姿、容姿は内面から美しさが滲み出ています。神社は無人ですが…ゆっくりと参拝出来ます。
