A beautiful and magnificent temple, serene and shaded, with an atmosphere that evokes the temple’s former glory in the past.

Its a shrine with sprawling grounds comprising temples, ponds and fixtures. The environment is quiet and peaceful. Our guide shared that couting couples would come to the shrine for their dates too. We spent around 1-1/2 hours walking around and exploring after seeing the main shrine and camphor tree.

This is a very beautiful Shinto shrine. I would argue the most beautiful I've ever been to. This shrine is ranked 2nd in importance after Ise Jingu near Nagoya. I've visited there as well, however, I'd rate this as more physically beautiful. Both the nature and the architecture are stunning. The main shrine itself was under construction, though everywhere else was still visible. A number of sights stood out to me, such as the covered bridge over the river , the bridges in the pond, and the huge torii gates. I noticed an interesting tradition here that stood out to me. You clap four times while praying, unlike the usual two. There's also a spot with 3 shrines lined up in order left to right, and the tradition is to pray at each one in order.

A beautiful shrine with an atmosphere like Ise Jingu.

Such a lovely shrine! It’s the second most prestigious shrine after Ise Shrine in Mie. Part of it was under construction, but it was still nice to walk around the quiet area and snack at the places lined up outside the gates. Not as spacious as Ise Shrine, but still definitely worth a visit

Went for new year, was busy but no real queuing or waiting like you get at other shrines on new year's day. Very beautiful shrine, feels like you're stepping back hundreds of years into traditional Japan.

Usa-jingu in Oita is believed to be the first Shinto shrine in Japan in which Hachiman-ji, the god of military power, was enshrined. A Buddhist temple called Miroku-ji is also built next to it, which makes it the first shrine-temple ever. The main hall and the Kujaku Monkei are designated amongst Japan's National Treasures. When visiting, be sure to place your hands on the large camphor tree there to wish for success.

Amazing safari experience! We usually steer clear of such attractions, but here the animals looked relaxed and well-kept. Driving the full route in our own car was more than enough, so the feeding bus felt unnecessary (we even got a refund). Our kids (10 and 8 yo) loved it.

It was my first time visiting an open-concept zoo like this, and I truly enjoyed it! The safari is very spacious, and the animals look so much more at ease in the wide, open areas. Highly recommend joining the Jungle Bus feeding experience, you get to see the animals up close!

Wow wow wow! You can get really up close to the animals while being in the comfort of your car and at your own pace. Animals are well taken care of and there is ample space for them. Such an environment is more natural than being in zoos. Saw a lot of animals with their cubs and calves. 🥰 We spent about 2 hours including the safari and a smaller section where you can feed miniature horses, kangaroos and pet guinea pigs. This place closes at 4pm so I would suggest arriving before 2pm.

Very exciting, went with my kid. Advice is to arrive early to lineup for the official jungle bus. I arrive at 9 and got the jungle bus spot at noon. It’s a very unique experience.

Amazing experience and highly recommended! You can either take the park's Safari bus, or drive your own car into the enclosures and see the animals up close. There are lions, bears, giraffes and many other kinds of animals. The Safari bus is very popular, so you will need to arrive early to get a seat. You can get to feed the animals on the safari bus. Otherwise, just drive through in your own vehicle, which is just as fun and you can move along at your own pace. A must to visit for all visitors to Fukuoka/Beppu/Kyushu!

As part of our Day Tour trip, we arrived at the Wildlife Park in a Tour Bus. It was a exciting experience driving-through the park in our Bus allowing us to move around in the Bus seeing and taking photos of the animals. A stop-over at the Park’s interactive zone with rabbits and hamster added to the fun of the trip.

Park opens at 9am. Queue outside the park with cars starts earlier. Self-drive starts at 9:30am. Drive up close to the animals present. Saw the giraffe, elephant, lion, tiger, cheetah, zebra, deer, etc. After the drive, do consider heading to the miniature horses (which you can feed by buying carrots for a fee using tongs), the cat saloon (entry for adults 500 yen, children below 4 free) or the dog saloon (entry 500 yen, children below 4 not allowed).

The only disappointing part was that there was no free wine tasting. Be sure to climb up to the highest point above the vineyards to get a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains.

Wine tasting is free. But the wines on offer were not at all to my taste. And the prices listed were higher than what they deserve.

Wonderful

(Translated by Google) Unlike before, tasting now costs 1,000 yen per person, but there's no limit on the number of samples you can try, so you can relax on a bench outside and compare different wines. They also sell brandy-flavored soft serve ice cream, which is also delicious. One suggestion: I'd like them to sell coffee and other drinks to drivers so they don't have to waste time. The waiting time is quite long. (Original) 以前と違って、テイスティングには1人1000円支払うシステムになりましたが、 試飲の制限もなくゆっくり外のベンチでくつろぎながらワインの飲み比べ出来ます。 ブランデー風味のソフトクリームも売っていて、こちらも美味しい。 ひとつ提案として、ハンドルキーパーも時間を持て余さない様にコーヒー等を販売してもらいたい。待っている時間が結構長いんですよね。

(Translated by Google) This is my favorite winery in Kyushu. I almost always attend the new wine festival and barrel opening. All of the wines are delicious, but more than anything, the air here is pleasant. If you visit early in the morning, it's even more refreshing than during the day, and you'll be soothed by the beautiful songs of the wild birds. The historic glassware on display in the barrel storehouse is gorgeous and beautiful, and it's fun just to look at it. While the paid tastings are fun, the brandy soft serve ice cream sold at the shop is a recommended dessert that you should definitely try. (Original) 九州のワイナリーで一番好きなワイナリーです。 新酒祭や樽開きはほぼ参加します。 ワインはどれも美味しいのですが、何よりもここの空気が気持ち良い。朝早い時間で訪れると昼間とは違い、一層の清々しさと美しい野鳥の声に癒されます。樽庫の中で展示されている歴史あるグラスも華やかで美しく、見ているだけでも楽しいです。有料試飲も楽しいですが売店で売っているブランデーソフトクリームは是非食べてもらいたいおすすめスイーツです。

(Translated by Google) You can sample over 10 different wines without a time limit. 🤤 However, the sparkling wine served first, which wasn't available for self-tasting, was delicious! lol The brandy-flavored soft serve ice cream was also fragrant and delicious. 🙌 (Original) 時間制限なく10数種類のワインを試飲できます🤤 ただ、最初に出されるセルフ試飲のないスパークリングワインが美味しすぎｗｗ ブランデー風味ソフトも香りよく美味しかったです🙌

(Translated by Google) For just ¥1,000 per person, you can sample over 10 different wines and brandies. 🤤 You can buy your favorites to take home, so it's easy to choose. 👍 You can also tour the wine-making process and the wine cellars. 🧐 It was a fun winery, and there was even a souvenir shop in the annex! 👍 (Original) 一人1000円で10種以上のワイン、ブランデーを試飲できます🤤 気に入ったものを買って帰れますので、選びやすいです👍 ワインの製造工程や、貯蔵蔵等の見学も行えます🧐 楽しいワイナリーでした、別棟にはお土産売り場もありました！👍

Beautiful landmark, short distance at foot from the parking lot but really enjoyable nonetheless.

One of the nicest waterfalls I’ve seen in Japan. Walk is easy but slippery. Water is beautiful and chilly. There was one other couple when we were there. Can’t recommend enough.

Another hidden gem, very worth the visit if you are in the area for the safari anyways, glad we went. Slippery path for scenic hidden waterfall, so be careful, but blown away by how zen and secluded it feels. Wish we stayed a bit longer, a bit scary as very unpopulated

It is a waterfall within a waterfall. I truly enjoyed the hike with my wife. not too long. We are both retirees. It is however quite slippery especially when we need to walk across a waterfall towards the 85m waterfall. Wow.

It's a short but challenging walk to the fall. It's slippery w moss and rocks along the way. I would recommend proper shoes instead of sneakers. White sneakers is definitely not recommended! But otherwise, an excellent trek and view of the fall :)

Spectacular! Tall waterfall that is accessible. If you dare to brave the cold, you can even swim in the pool. We had our lunch at the resting area / parking. Parking fee is ¥300. Beautiful cherry blossoms in the the vicinity of the waterfall. Nice! 😉

Awesome waterfall. Have been there many times. Its always fun to go with friends. Parking and toilets are available. The main waterfall is in a 5 minute walking distance from the parking. Definitely recommend to go visit. Need to drive there as no buses ply to the waterfall, plus the drive is pleasant and full of beautiful scenery. Taking a few snacks and doing a simple dry picnic is also a good idea.

A beautiful and magnificent temple, serene and shaded, with an atmosphere that evokes the temple’s former glory in the past.

USA City writes in Japanese “USA”. There is a quite splendid USA shrine in the country nearby. Moreover, the large salamander of a natural monument is bred in the station on this road, and it is possible to watch it. The parking lot is also spacious and easy to use. In addition, there are many old stone bridges in this district, and it is still used in the current service.

The views are great and also the food.

Lots of food, hot and cold drinks. Clean toilets and food court.

(Translated by Google) Even though it was just after 12:00 in the middle of Golden Week, there was no food such as bento boxes anymore. There were a lot of customers inside the station - the parking lot was full and there were a lot of bikers - it's certainly a popular roadside station. As someone who finally got there after being too hungry,... I had no choice but to buy a bag of peanut mochi and some tea. No, this is surprisingly good. Peanut mochi will fill your stomach. Next time I would like to have this as a souvenir. The restrooms were clean even though there were a lot of people there, and the staff at the store were kind enough to see me crying because I didn't have my lunch box. Thank you very much. Also, the tea from Watanabeen in Shimoge, Ajimu-cho, Usa City was very delicious! The best tea I've bought recently, 80g 1080 yen There were a lot of fresh foods, but it was getting hot so I couldn't buy them because I had a long way to go home.I'm sorry, but they were shiny green onions for a little over 100 yen. (Original) GWの最中まだ12：00過ぎたばかりと言うのにもうお弁当などの食べ物は全くありませんでした、 場内凄いお客さんでわんわんしていました~駐車場は満車、バイカー大勢～～確かに人気の道の駅なのですね、 腹を減らし過ぎてやっとたどり着いた自分としては、、、真っ青、 しょうがないのでピーナッツ餅なるものを一袋とお茶購入～ いやこれが意外とうまいのです、 ピーナッツ餅お腹にもたまります。次回はこれをお土産にしたいと思います～ 人が多いのにお手洗い綺麗、お店の人も弁当が無いと泣きそうな私を見て優しい対応でした、ありがとうございました。 それから、宇佐市安心院町下毛の渡辺園さんのお茶が🍵大変美味しかった！ 最近買ったお茶の中では一番良かった、80g1080円 生鮮品は沢山ありました、熱くなってきたので帰り道の長い私には買えませんですみません、ネギとか百数円でピカピカのやつでしたよ～

(Translated by Google) I stopped by before the summer festival. The soft serve ice cream made with the local specialty yuzu is refreshing and delicious! I think the mixed flavor is great for a smoother taste. The pudding was also delicious 🍮 (Original) 夏祭り前に立ち寄りました。 名産のゆずを使ったソフトクリームは、爽やかで美味しい！ ミックスを選ぶとまろやかで良いと思います。 プリンも美味しかったです🍮

(Translated by Google) This is my first time here. They also sell bonsai trees. They have a wide variety of yuzu. There's shade. They also have cats. (Original) 初めて来ました　盆栽も売ってました　ゆずの種類が豊富ですよ　日影も有ります　猫ちゃんも居ますよ

(Translated by Google) From Ishibashi and Yuzu no Sato Station, it's about a 3-minute walk to Arase Bridge 😉✌️ You can eat shibire, loach, and soft-shelled turtle dishes 😊✌️ The yuzu soft serve ice cream 🍦 is recommended 🙆 There are two EV quick chargers installed, and you can even sleep in your car in the parking lot 😉✌️ (Original) 石橋とゆずの里の駅で、歩いて３分ぐらいで荒瀬橋があります😉✌️ シビエ・どじょう・すっぽん料理が食べられます😊✌️ ゆずソフトクリーム🍦が、オススメです🙆 EV急速充電器が１台２口設置していて、駐車場で車中泊も出来ますよ😉✌️

Informative museum

(Translated by Google) Usa in Oita Prefecture is famous for Usa Hachiman Shrine, and there is a large shrine built based on its model. A splendid golden Buddha statue and a stone Buddha statue that looks like a very large mural. You can take photos in front of this. The number of museums is astounding. Artifacts excavated from the Taira Kofun have been carefully repaired, preserved, and exhibited. There are very fine collections on display, such as the culture of Usa Hachiman, the culture of Mt. Rokugo, the world of Fukiji Temple's main hall, and Buddhist culture. You can witness the wonders of ancient culture with your own eyes. It was raining today, so there weren't that many visitors, so we were able to enjoy the museum at our leisure. (Original) 大分県の宇佐は..宇佐八幡神宮 が有名ですがその雛形を模型に大きく作られたお社があり... 立派な金色の仏像やとても大きな壁画のような石仏仏像。 この前で 写真を撮ることができます。数ある美術館の数々には目を見張るばかりです。 平古墳の出土品など丁寧に 修理保存され 展示されてました。 宇佐八幡の文化や六郷山の文化、富貴寺大堂の世界、仏教文化などもとても立派なコレクションを展示されてあり... 一度は見て この大分県の歴史博物館の素晴らしさを認識~鑑賞されると古代文化の凄さを目の当たりにできます。 今日は雨でしたので...お客様がそんなに多くなくて ゆっくりと博物館内を 鑑賞することができました。

(Translated by Google) It was well worth seeing and I was very satisfied. Admission is 310 yen for adults, 160 yen for high school and university students, and free for elementary and junior high school students. (We recommend checking the website in advance for detailed admission fees.) The first thing you'll see when you enter the museum is the "Dainichi Nyorai Statue." It's hard to tell from the photo, but the actual statue is quite large and impressive. Going further in, you'll find a variety of exhibits organized by theme. There were many exhibits, and they were quite impressive. Please note that photography is prohibited within some exhibits. The museum also has an exhibition lobby, a library, and a coloring area, making it a well-equipped museum. It's definitely worth the admission fee. I highly recommend visiting. (Original) 見応えがあり大満足でした。 入場料は一般が310円、高校・大学生が160円、少中学生は無料で観覧出来ます。（その他の詳しい料金は事前にサイトで調べることをおすすめします） 入り口から入るとまず『大日如来像』が出迎えてくれます。写真では分かりづらいですが、実物はかなり大きく圧巻です。 そこから奥に進むとテーマごとにさまざまな展示物を見ることが出来ます。展示数が多くかなり見応えがありました。中には撮影禁止の物もあるので注意が必要です。 その他に展示ロビーや図書室、塗り絵が楽しめる場所もあり設備が充実した博物館だと感じました。 間違いなく入場料以上の価値があります。ぜひ一度訪れてみてはいかがでしょうか。

(Translated by Google) I visited for the special exhibition, "Yukihira of Bungo Province." I took my time to admire the beautiful works of master craftsman Yukihira. There was also a wide selection of related works, and I was able to learn about the historical background of ancient swords in Kyushu and Oita. I also viewed the permanent exhibition. The Great Hall of Fukiji Temple is the oldest wooden building in Kyushu. It has a life-size reproduction of its original appearance, and the dazzling seated Amida Buddha statue is captivating. There were also other impressive exhibits, such as a replica of a rock-carved Buddha and a model of Usa Shrine. Through the exhibits and explanatory texts, I learned about the history of "prayer" that lives on in this region. Since I spent time on the special exhibition, I had to rush through the permanent exhibition. Still, the impact of the exhibits and the explanations were both amazing, and I'd like to return at a more leisurely pace. (Original) 特別展の「豊後国行平」展を目的として訪問しました。 名工・行平の美しい作品をじっくり鑑賞。 関連する作品も充実していて、九州・大分の古刀の歴史背景を知ることができました。 合わせて常設展も見学。 九州最古の木造建築物である富貴寺大堂。 その創建当時の姿が実物大で再現されていて、 煌びやかな阿弥陀如来坐像には思わず見入ってしまいます。 他にも、磨崖仏のレプリカや宇佐神宮の模型など、見ごたえのある展示が並び、 展示品と解説文を通じて、この地域に息づく「祈り」の歴史を学べました。 今回は特別展に時間を割いたので常設展は駆け足に。 それでも展示物のインパクト、解説の内容ともに素晴らしく、改めてゆっくり再訪したいと思える内容でした。

(Translated by Google) I headed towards the temple from the direction of Usa Shrine, and found the large vertical signboard, so I found it easily. I was able to pay the admission fee with PayPay. I purchased tickets for both the special exhibition and the permanent exhibition. There were also replicas of the Fukiji Temple main hall and the rock-carved Buddha, which was nice. The projection mapping on the Fukiji Temple main hall was an unexpected and enjoyable performance. However, the reproduction of the interior was a bit disappointing, as the colors were a bit too garish. (Original) 宇佐神宮方面から向かいましたが、縦長の大きな看板が見えてきたのですぐに分かりました。入館料はPayPay支払いができました。特別展と常設展の両方の券を購入しました。富貴寺大堂のレプリカや磨崖仏のレプリカもあり良かったです。富貴寺大堂に投影されるプロジェクションマッピングが思いがけない演出で良かったです。ただ、内部の再現は、色使いがどぎつ過ぎてちょっと興醒めなのが残念でした。

(Translated by Google) The permanent exhibition focuses on ancient Buddhism and Hachiman Shrine, and is very comprehensive. (Original) 古代仏教と八幡宮に特化した常設展示ですが、充実しつます。

(Translated by Google) A history museum with a mirror ball! In the free zone directly ahead as you enter the building, there is a large rock-carved Buddha statue, and a five-minute projection mapping show is held every hour on the hour. To the right is the paid permanent exhibition zone, which is a replica of the main hall, and there is a projection mapping show every hour on the hour. Towards the end, the mirror ball starts spinning, creating a truly otherworldly atmosphere! There is also a coloring corner in the free zone. Outside on the grounds, or rather the adjacent land, there is an ancient tomb, with lawns, tables and benches, which is very pleasant in good weather. I enjoyed my time there for over two hours, combining the permanent exhibition, projection mapping, special exhibition and a stroll around the tomb. (Original) ミラーボールのある歴史博物館！ 建物入って正面の無料ゾーンに大きな磨崖仏があり、毎時00分に5分ほどのプロジェクションマッピングの上映があります。 右手が常設展の有料ゾーンですが、こちらは大堂を再現しており、毎時30分にプロジェクションマッピングの上映があります。 終盤にはミラーボールが回りだしなかなか異世界です！ 無料ゾーンには塗り絵コーナーもあります。 敷地というか隣接地というか、屋外には古墳もあり、芝生やテーブルとベンチもあり、気候のいい時期は気持ちがいいです。 常設展とプロジェクションマッピング、特別展に古墳の散歩で2時間以上楽しめました。

Nice location good nature walks large cabins

My family was very enjoyed It's beautiful Next time we want to go in autumn

Great👍

Natural

(Translated by Google) Visited on 2025.03.09. I happened to be passing by so I stopped by. It's probably crowded during the season, but today there was no one there and the teahouse was closed. I felt like I had it all to myself and was able to take a leisurely stroll. The river surface, flowing thinly and smoothly over the bedrock and sparkling in the sunlight, was a charming sight. When it gets a little warmer, I want to go for a walk in the stream. (Original) 2025.03.09訪問。 たまたま通りかかったので寄りました。 シーズンには賑わうのでしょうが今日は誰もおらず茶屋も閉まってました。 独り占め感満載でゆったり散策出来ました。 岩盤の上を薄く滑らかに流れ、太陽の光でキラキラ光る川面は趣きがありました。 少し暖かくなったら沢歩きに行きたくなりました。

(Translated by Google) The riverbed is shallow, making it an ideal place for small children to play and a great play area for when it's hot. There's also a campsite nearby, so it's a great place. The toilets are well-equipped, too, which is nice. (Original) 川底が浅く幼児が遊ぶのに最適で暑い時の遊び場に最適、そばにキャンプ場もありとても良いところです。 トイレなども整備されていていいですよ。

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is small and there are not many cars, but playing in the river was great. The water was clean and the flow was gentle, so it was great for small children to play. We didn't play in the pool much, but we played in the river. We didn't find any crabs, but there were small fish and gobies, so we looked for them with a net. I recommend buying food and drinks before you go. (Original) 駐車場が狭くて台数少ないかと思うけど、川遊びは最高でした。水が綺麗で、流れも緩やかなので小さい子が遊ぶにはとても良かったです。うちはプールではあまり遊ばすに川遊びでした。蟹は見付けられなかったけど、小魚とハゼが居たので網を持って探して…。行く前に飲食物買ってから行く事をお勧めします。

A fine view, but does not require a stop, just watch it from your car

I would have rated 5 stars if it wasn't too cloudy. We waited for half an hour or so but still can't see it. What a missed!

Nice view. Takes 5 minutes to see from the overlook. There was a vegetable market going on at the overlook and the prices were great.

Nice little lookout to see the mountains. There was also a little farmer's market on Saturday and we bought fresh grapes.

Nothing to eat around.

Beautifull Weiss and incredible similitud!

This is hilarious. Good for a laugh and beautiful to look at.

(Translated by Google) I went in July 2024. The stone bridge is nicer than I expected and the taste is nice ♩ (Original) 2024年の7月に行きました。 思っていたより立派な石橋で味があっていいですね♩

I only saw it briefly while passing by last summer, but hearing how this bridge was built over a hundred years ago is simply astonishing. While taking a short break at Roadside Station INNAI nearby, I read the descriptions and looked at photos of other bridges in the area. Now I’m looking forward to where I might go this summer.

(Translated by Google) Torii Bridge, which is said to be the Lady of Stone Bridges, is located right next to the hospital's interchange. There is a parking lot just past the bridge, and you can also take photos from the promenade under the bridge. The piers are long and beautiful. Innai-cho is the town with the most stone bridges in Japan, so it might be fun to visit the stone bridges. (Original) 石橋の貴婦人と言われている鳥居橋ですが院内インターの直ぐ側にあります。橋を渡った先に駐車場がありますし橋の下の遊歩道から写真も撮れます。橋脚部分が長く美しいです。院内町は全国一石橋の多い町ですので石橋巡りも楽しいかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) Usa has many stone bridges and seems to be a tourist attraction, and I've been curious about the signboard indicating this for some time. The first stone bridge I visited this time was Torii Bridge. It is said to be called the Lady of the Stone Bridge because of its five piers and its beautiful shape. There was some grass growing naturally, so I felt that it would become even more beautiful if it was removed. It was a bridge that hung right next to a modern, solid bridge, and I was able to cross it. Perhaps because there are many people visiting as tourists, there are parking lots, restrooms, signboards with explanations, and stores nearby. The parking lot is free and can accommodate about 5 cars. As a side note, this bridge seems to be the most downstream of the stone bridges worth seeing, but I was told that there was another ``Ichi-no-hashi Bridge'' about 2.5km away, so I wanted to visit there as well. It may also be a bridge that confuses visitors. (Original) 宇佐は石橋が多く、観光名所になってるようで、そのことを示す看板が以前から気になってた。 今回、巡ってみようと最初に訪れた石橋がこの鳥居橋。 五つの橋脚と、その造形の美しさから石橋の貴婦人と呼ばれているらしい。 少し草が自生してるため、それが取り除かれると更に美しさが増すように感じた。 現代のしっかりとした橋のすぐ近くに掛かる橋で、渡ることも出来た。 観光として訪れる人が多いのか、近くに駐車場やトイレ、説明が書かれた看板、店舗所などがあった。 駐車場は無料で、五台程が停められる。 余談だが、見応えある石橋としては、この橋が一番下流にあるようだが、2.5km程離れた場所に、「一の橋」があると案内されているため、そこも訪れたくなる。 訪れた者を惑わす橋でもあるのかも。

(Translated by Google) Long legs! This is the arched stone bridge in Usa. Please stop by and enjoy its beauty! (Original) 脚が長い！宇佐のアーチ型石橋です。是非お立ち寄りいただき、美しさを眺めてください！

(Translated by Google) On the way to Higashi Shiiya Falls, I saw a beautiful Megane Bridge (stone bridge), so I stopped by for a break. There were 5.6 people in work clothes cleaning the bridge and its surroundings. Great to feel the history 👏 It was a bridge. The surrounding area was beautifully planted with flowers, and I could tell that the locals cherished this bridge! Usa City seems to have many stone bridges, and Torii Bridge seems to be called (Lady Lady). (Original) 東椎屋の滝に行く途中に綺麗な眼鏡橋(石橋)を見かけたので、休憩もかねて寄りました。 作業服姿の人が、5.6人で橋の上や周りを清掃してました。歴史を感じる素晴らしい👏 橋でした。周りは、綺麗に花を植えていて地元の方がこの橋を大切にしている事が伺えました！宇佐市は、石橋が多いらしく、鳥居橋は、(貴婦人)と呼ばれてるようです。

(Translated by Google) Touring the stone bridges in Usa (inside the hospital). It is along National Route 387. Fujimi Bridge, Mikutsu Bridge, and Torii Bridge are recommended. Torii Bridge has a very thin foot compared to other stone bridges. This is why she is called the Lady of Ishibashi. It's beautiful. Moreover, it is durable enough to not be washed away even during typhoons and floods. It's amazing. (Original) 宇佐（院内）の石橋巡り。国道387号線沿いです。 富士見橋、御沓橋、鳥居橋がオススメです。 鳥居橋は他の石橋と比べると足がとても細い。これが石橋の貴婦人と呼ばれる所以ですね。美しいです。 しかも台風で洪水の際も流されない耐久度。素晴らしいです。

Beautiful wisteria with a very delicate but nice fragrance. They also have Dekopon on sale

The Wisteria were quite brilliant and the tea farm was well kept, the rose garden was good too but not in full bloom. You would have to time it to come here, in the right season it has a great view.

(Translated by Google) Visited at 08:45 on Sunday, April 27, 2025 I went to see wisteria. Admission is free! (There is a donation box available) From common purple wisteria to white wisteria and double wisteria, it's all worth seeing. Moreover, there is a rose garden right next to it, so the cost performance is excellent. Entrance fee to the rose garden varies from 100 yen to 500 yen/person depending on the blooming situation. When I visited, it was 100 yen/person for one bloom. (Original) 2025年4月27日(日)08:45訪問 藤を見に行きました。何と入園料無料！(お気持投銭BOXあり)一般的な紫藤、白藤や八重藤まで、見応えバツグン しかも直ぐ横にバラ園までありコスパ超最高。バラ園は入園料開花状況により100円〜500円/人みたい。小生が伺った時は1部咲きで100円/人でした。

(Translated by Google) “Senzai Farm” is a famous wisteria spot in Oita, located near Yokkaichi IC in Usa City. You can enter this wisteria garden for free, and the wisteria trellis spreads out on the slope of the hill. Originally a tea farm, there is a tea plantation, and there is a fee, but there is also a rose garden that opened in 2016, and you can see various roses from May onwards. We also sell tea 🍵 and citrus fruits 🍊, so it might be a hidden gem for holidaymakers during Golden Week! (Original) 宇佐市四日市ICから程近い場所にある大分では藤の名所で知られる『千財農園』です😃 こちらの藤園は無料で入園出来て、丘の斜面に藤棚が広がります。 もともとお茶🍵農園で茶畑があり、有料なのですが2016年開演のバラ🌹園もあり、5月以降に色んなバラが鑑賞出来ます😊 お茶🍵や柑橘類🍊の販売もやってますので、GWの行楽などには穴場かもしれませんね！

(Translated by Google) 2025.4.27 11 era Isn't wisteria flowers at their peak? There will be a line to use the restroom, so please be careful on weekends ⚠️ Thank you for the free viewing of the beautiful flowers✨ There was also a sale of ponkan, which was a huge success. Also pay attention to ice cream 👀 Tea leaves, carp streamers, and scarecrows can also be seen!

(Translated by Google) I visited the garden on April 29, 2025. The wisteria trellis was in full bloom. The purple and white gradations were fantastic and very beautiful. The roses were also just starting to bloom, so I was able to enjoy them. (Original) 2025年4月29日に来園しました。藤棚は満開。紫と白のグラデーションが幻想的でとても美しかったです。バラも咲き始めで楽しむことができました。

(Translated by Google) This is my third time visiting here, and I was finally able to see the wisteria trellis in almost full bloom. Although my holiday with friends and the flowering season didn't quite match up, I was able to be enchanted by the beautiful wisteria trellis and spend a good time with my friends amidst the scent of fresh tea. It must be difficult to care for them and manage them. thank you very much. (Original) こちらに訪問するのは３回目ですそしてようやくほぼ満開の藤棚を見る事ができました。友達とのお休みと開花時期がなかなか合わずでしたが綺麗な藤棚にうっとりでき新茶の香る中良い時間を友達と過ごせました。大切に育てていて管理も大変なことでしょう。ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) The shop and museum are housed in one building. It is quite small. It may be good for people who want to enjoy communication, but for others it may feel a bit intimidating. At the museum you can learn about the history of Futabayama. They also have handprints, which I think are interesting to compare with your own. I wanted to take a look at the shop as well, but it seemed like I couldn't leave without buying something, so I gave up this time. This may be a good place for people interested in sumo and Futabayama. (Original) ひとつの建物に売店と資料館が入っています。規模は小さめです。コミュニケーションを楽しみたい方には良いかもしれませんが、そうでない方にはやや入りづらい雰囲気がありました。 資料館では双葉山の歴史を知ることができます。手形もあるので自分の手と比べてみるのも面白いと思います。 売店の方も拝見したかったのですが、何か買わないと店を出られない様な感じがしたので今回は断念しました。 相撲や双葉山に興味がある方にとっては良い場所かもしれません。

(Translated by Google) This is the Yokozuna Futabayama Memorial Museum in Usa City, Oita Prefecture. It's beautiful and easy to understand. Yokozuna Futabayama held the title of Yokozuna from 1938 to 1945, winning a record 12 makuuchi championships (when there were two tournaments per year), and winning 69 consecutive matches from 1936 to 1939 (including a five-tournament undefeated streak). At the time, he gained national popularity beyond the realm of professional sumo. I think it's no exaggeration to say that up until the Showa era, he was the most respected figure in the sumo world. I've been watching sumo regularly since around 1970, and up until the mid-Heisei era, there were still people alive who had seen Futabayama during his active career, so whenever he was mentioned on TV or in magazines, everyone would praise him. I got the impression that he was respected and almost deified. As for Futabayama's record, since there are now six tournaments per year, if you simply multiply that by three, you get 36 wins. Hakuho has now won 45 tournaments, surpassing Futabayama. Hakuho's record for consecutive wins is 63, so Futabayama still holds the record (though Hakuho also managed four consecutive undefeated tournaments). Before the war, the Osaka and Nagoya tournaments were considered "semi-basho," and if you include these, Futabayama had a winning streak of 87 from 1937 to 1938. If you're interested in sumo at Futaba no Sato, we recommend a visit. The facility is closed on the third Monday of every month (if the third Monday falls on a national holiday, it will be closed the following day instead). It's also closed over the New Year period, so please check. (Original) 大分県 宇佐市にある横綱双葉山の記念館です。綺麗で わかりやすい記念館でした。 横綱双葉山は 昭和13年(1938年) から昭和20年(1945年) まで横綱に在位し､幕内最高優勝12回(年2場所時代)、1936年から1939年にかけて69連勝した(5場所連続全勝優勝含む) 大横綱です。当時、大相撲の枠を超えて国民的人気を得た。 昭和の頃までは 相撲界で一番尊敬されていた人物と言っても過言ではないと思います。昭和45年頃から相撲をよく見ていますが、平成の中期までは 双葉山の現役時代を見た人が存命だったので、テレビでも雑誌でも 双葉山の話になると 皆が褒め称えました。皆から尊敬され、神格化されているような印象でした。 双葉山の記録については、今は年6場所なので 単純に3倍すると 36回優勝。白鵬が45回優勝し 双葉山を抜いた。連勝記録は 白鵬は63なので､今でも双葉山が最高記録です (連続の全勝も白鵬は4場所)。戦前は 大阪場所や名古屋場所が「準場所」だったが､この準場所を含めると､1937年から1938年にかけて 双葉山は87連勝している。 「双葉の里」相撲に興味がある人は 1度来てみる事をおすすめします。第3月曜日が休館です ( 第3月曜が祝日の場合は翌日が休館)。年末年始も休館になるので要確認です。

(Translated by Google) It's my first time coming here 🎵 I came on March 31, 2024 because I wanted to come and see the village of Futabayama, the great yokozuna of the Showa era who achieved an immortal 69 consecutive wins. As expected, it's amazing. I can't think of it now. Everyone please come and take a look 😉 I think you can see how amazing Futabayama is 👌 (Original) ここに来るのは初めてです🎵 昭和の大横綱で不滅の69連勝を成し遂げた双葉山の里に来て見たかったので2024年3月31日に来ました。 やはり、凄い。今じゃ👋😆💕考えられない。皆さんもここに来て見てくださいね😉 双葉山の凄さがわかると思いますよ👌

(Translated by Google) It's free at the Futabayama Museum. Just placing my hands together in front of Futabayama's handprint gave me energy♪ The ladies at the gift shop were very nice and it was great to talk to them! I wish there was a life-size bronze statue or a photo. (Original) 双葉山の資料館で無料です。 双葉山の手形に手を合わすだけでパワーを貰えました♪ 売店のお姉さま方も感じが良くてお話できてよかったです！ できれば等身大の銅像か写真があればと思いました。

(Translated by Google) Visited on the morning of a public holiday in January 2024. There were no customers and we had it all to ourselves. You can clearly see the footprints of Futabayama. Also suitable for disabled people. There is a birthplace in the back and you can also tour it. (Original) 2024年1月の祝日の午前に訪問。 お客さんはおらず独り占め。 双葉山の足跡かよくわかります。 バリアフリーにも対応。 裏手に生家がありこちらも見学できます。

(Translated by Google) This time, I stopped by to see the annual chrysanthemum exhibition. Thanks to the cooperation of local residents, you can see magnificent large chrysanthemums. Normally, there is a memorial hall and monument honoring Yokozuna Futabayama's achievements, and his restored birthplace at the back. I think you'll have about 10 minutes to visit. As he was a great figure from a long time ago, most of the people who come here when he was alive seem to be locals and people of an age who remembered his achievements. (Original) 今回は、毎年行われる菊花展を拝見に寄りました。 地元の方の協力で、見事な大輪の菊を観ることができます。 普段は、横綱双葉山を業績を称える記念館と記念碑、そして奥に復元した生家があります。 観光滞在時間は、10分程度かと思います。 ずいぶん前の偉人ですから、生前のここに来られる方の多くは、活躍を知る年齢の方や地元の方が中心にようです。

A beautiful and magnificent temple, serene and shaded, with an atmosphere that evokes the temple’s former glory in the past.

Its a shrine with sprawling grounds comprising temples, ponds and fixtures. The environment is quiet and peaceful. Our guide shared that couting couples would come to the shrine for their dates too. We spent around 1-1/2 hours walking around and exploring after seeing the main shrine and camphor tree.

This is a very beautiful Shinto shrine. I would argue the most beautiful I've ever been to. This shrine is ranked 2nd in importance after Ise Jingu near Nagoya. I've visited there as well, however, I'd rate this as more physically beautiful. Both the nature and the architecture are stunning. The main shrine itself was under construction, though everywhere else was still visible. A number of sights stood out to me, such as the covered bridge over the river , the bridges in the pond, and the huge torii gates. I noticed an interesting tradition here that stood out to me. You clap four times while praying, unlike the usual two. There's also a spot with 3 shrines lined up in order left to right, and the tradition is to pray at each one in order.

A beautiful shrine with an atmosphere like Ise Jingu.

Such a lovely shrine! It’s the second most prestigious shrine after Ise Shrine in Mie. Part of it was under construction, but it was still nice to walk around the quiet area and snack at the places lined up outside the gates. Not as spacious as Ise Shrine, but still definitely worth a visit

Went for new year, was busy but no real queuing or waiting like you get at other shrines on new year's day. Very beautiful shrine, feels like you're stepping back hundreds of years into traditional Japan.

Usa-jingu in Oita is believed to be the first Shinto shrine in Japan in which Hachiman-ji, the god of military power, was enshrined. A Buddhist temple called Miroku-ji is also built next to it, which makes it the first shrine-temple ever. The main hall and the Kujaku Monkei are designated amongst Japan's National Treasures. When visiting, be sure to place your hands on the large camphor tree there to wish for success.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by to see the Buddha statue. As others have written, the path is a mountain path, so it is better to wear suitable shoes. The chapel built on the quay is majestic. Once inside, I worshiped three Buddha statues that were said to have been made from a single tree. Unfortunately, the temple at the foot of the mountain is very deserted (the shoji screens are torn, there are many stray cats hanging out, and there is a smell of animals coming from inside...). I think if it is properly maintained, the number of worshipers will increase. (Original) 仏像を拝観しに寄りました。道は他の方が書かれているように山道なのでそれなりの靴を履いた方が良い。岸壁に作られた礼拝堂は荘厳です。中に入ると一木で作られたという仏像が三体、しっかり礼拝しました。惜しむらくは麓にある寺があまりにも寂れている事(障子は破れ多数の野良猫がたむろし中からは獣臭が...)。しっかり整備すればもっと参拝者が増えると思います。

(Translated by Google) The admission fee was 200 yen. However, you may be surprised at where you pay the admission fee. People with cat allergies should be careful. Then there is the approach to the shrine, which may require a lot of physical strength. It may be difficult for those with weak legs. But once you arrive at the shrine, it is a wonderful place. I hope that this historical cultural asset will be protected and restored forever. I can only pray. (Original) 拝観料は200円でした。しかし拝観料を支払う場所には、びっくりされるかも。猫アレルギーのかたは注意が必要です。 後は参道ですがかなり体力がいるかも。足腰の弱い方は難しい。 でもたどり着いた先は素晴らしい場所でした。どうか🙏いつまでもこの歴史的文化財の保護、修復ができますように。祈るばかりです。

(Translated by Google) Hello everyone. Today I went to Ryuganji Temple in Oita. I came here to get some power 🙏 It was my first time there, so I was wondering what it was like... The parking lot is spacious and there are stairs to get to the temple that make you sweaty💦It seems like people with walking disabilities cannot climb them. First of all, there was a group of cats at the top 🐱It's good if you like cats, but if you have allergies, you might want to avoid it 😅 I paid 200 yen and climbed to the top 🙏 It was a sacred place that I'm glad I went to. . Please come and worship 🤲 (Original) 皆様こんにちわ。今日は大分の龍岩寺様に パワーを貰いに来ました🙏初めての場所だったのでどんなところか…。駐車場は広めで寺に行くにはこの階段があり汗かくパターンでした💦足の不自由な方は登れないみたいです。 まず登り上がった先には猫たちの群れが🐱猫好きなら良いでしょうがアレルギー等ある方はやめた方がいいかもですね😅200円を払い上まで登りました🙏行ってよかった神聖な場所でした。参拝してみて下さい🤲

(Translated by Google) The road to the parking lot is narrow, so it may take some effort to get there by car. There are many insects and snakes on the road from the entrance to the temple to the visitor reception, and on the road to the inner sanctuary, so you will need courage if you are not good with them. Also, if you go to the back of the temple with determination to not be outdone by the exterior of the main hall, which is probably also the visitor reception, you will be greeted by a magnificent Buddha statue and will be impressed. However, considering the entire process, it may be more of a negative than a positive. *I didn't like cats. (Original) 駐車場までの道のりは狭く、車で行くには多少頑張りがいるかもしれません。 参道入口から拝観受付までの道のり、奥の院までの道のり、何れも虫や蛇がたくさんいますので、苦手な方は勇気が必要です。 また、拝観受付でもある、おそらく本堂の外観で負けない気持ちを持って奥まで行けば、素晴らしい仏像に迎えられるので、感動を得ると思います。 ただ、すべての行程を考えると、マイナスよりかもしれません。※私は猫が苦手でした

(Translated by Google) The Taira clan, who were defeated in the Battle of Dannoura, went up the Yakata River and reached the Innai side. The area is Innai Daimon [Tsukimata]. The Taira clan, who escaped from the Genji clan, set up a base in the hidden rock cave of Ryuganji Temple and built a mound to bury Norimori's belongings. After that, they were defeated by the Genji clan and seven Taira clan members died. The surviving Taira clan members buried their dead soldiers in the mound. The mound became the Heike Seven Tomb, and Kadowaki-no-Kaishu, while maintaining the mound, invested his own money and, at the tomb of Kiyomori in Shimonoseki, chanted sutras to transfer Kiyomori's soul into the stone, erected Kiyomori's tombstone, and buried the stone containing Kiyomori's soul under the tombstone. Tombstones for Norimori and the seven Heike clan members who died were erected. Various improvements have been made to the area around the Heike Seven Tombs, and to console the souls of the Heike clan, a Kagura hall and a rest area for worshippers have been set up, along with many photographs of worshippers and mysterious photographs. Kadowaki-kaishu guides visitors almost every day, providing detailed explanations. One time, when they were preparing to perform a Kagura dance, a mysterious phenomenon occurred, in which orbs (mitama) appeared around the Tomb. It is said that the size of the mitama represents the rank of the military commander. Kadowaki-kaishu protects the spirits of the deceased Heike clan at the Tomb of the Seven Heike. (Original) 壇ノ浦の戦いで敗れた平家一族は、駅館川を登り、院内側に、辿り付きました。その地区が院内大門[月俣]です。源氏から逃れた平家一族は、龍岩寺の隠れ岩戸に拠点を構えて、教盛公の遺品を埋める為に、塚を作りました。その後に源氏から終われ、平家一族7人が亡くなりした。生き延びた平家一族は、亡くなった兵士を塚に埋めました。その塚が平家七人塚となり、門脇会主様が、塚の整備をしながら、私財を投じて、下関に、清盛公の塚がありますので、お経を唱えて石に清盛公の魂を移して、清盛公の墓石を建立し、墓石の下に、清盛公の魂が入った石を埋蔵されています。教盛の墓石、亡くなった平家七人の墓石等を建立されました。平家七人塚の周りを色々と整備し、平家の魂を慰める為に、神楽殿や参拝客の休憩所や、参拝客の写真、不思議な写真も、沢山飾っています。門脇会主は、毎日のように、参拝客を案内し、丁寧に説明をされています。ある時にお神楽を舞う準備をしていましたら、不思議な現象が、七人塚周辺に、オーブ(御魂)が現れました。御魂の大きさは、武将の地位だそうです。平家七人塚は、門脇会主により、亡き平家一族の御魂を、お守りしています。

(Translated by Google) This temple is said to have been opened by Gyoki (a monk from the Nara period) who visited Usa Jingu and was guided by a dragon woman to carve three Buddha statues in one night. The entrance fee is 200 yen. When traveling from Myoban Onsen to Yufuin, I wanted to take a short detour, so I searched for Buddhist statues and ended up here. The photos of the Buddha statues looked beautiful, so I went there with high expectations, but when I saw the main hall and stopped by the shrine office, I was shocked. Please see other people's reviews for details. By the way, I went there without reading any reviews, so I was quite surprised. I think the Buddha statue was very nice. There were traces of it being colored, so I guess it was a little more colorful in the past. It seems to be in very good condition, so I wonder if it was made recently? It may seem that way, but the mountain was founded in 746, which means it was built over 1,200 years ago. (Original) 宇佐神宮を参詣した行基（奈良時代の僧）が龍女に導かれ三体の仏像を一夜で彫り、開山したといわれるお寺。参拝費用は200円。 明礬温泉から湯布院へ移動する際に、ちょっと遠回りして行きたかったので、仏像で検索してたどり着いたところ。仏像の写真は綺麗だったので期待して足を運ぶが、本堂を目の前にし、社務所に立ち寄って愕然とする。詳細は他の皆さんのクチコミにてどうぞ。ちなみにクチコミを全く読まず足を運んだので、けっこうびっくりした。 仏像はとても良かったと思う。色がついていた名残があったので、昔はもう少しカラフルだったのかな。状態がとても良いように見えるので、最近作ったの？と思える部分もあるけど、746年開山ということで1200年以上前に作られたものということになる。

(Translated by Google) There is an Okunoin temple that is considered one of Japan's three major Nageire-do halls (the entire hall is built into a natural rock cave). It is said that the buildings other than the inner temple were destroyed by the Christian feudal lord Otomo Sorin. The path to Okunoin is a series of somewhat steep stairs, but I think it will take about 10 to 15 minutes each way. You can go up to the inner temple by opening the side door, and when you sit on the throne, you will see the wooden (single carved) figures of Fudo Myoo, Amida Nyorai, and Yakushi Nyorai. It was very beautiful. I think it's a place worth seeing, with the Nageire Hall and the wooden Buddha statue, so I'd like many people to visit. (Original) 日本三大投入堂(堂全体が自然の岩窟に入り込んでいる構造)の一つに数えられている奥の院があります。奥の院以外の建造物はキリシタン大名である大友宗麟によって失われてしまったそうです。 奥の院までの道のりは若干険しい階段が続いていますが片道10~15分もあればつくと思います。奥の院は側面の扉を開けて上がることが可能で、御座に座ると木造(一本彫)の不動明王、阿弥陀如来、薬師如来が並んでいます。とてもきれいでした。 投入堂、木造の仏像など一見の価値のある場所だと思うので、たくさんの人に訪れてもらいたいです。

(Translated by Google) March 10, 1993 Usa Culture (No. 36) Temples around Usa Shrine ⑥ On the northern slope of the Usa Basin, there were temples lined up like little gems. However, this Daizenji Temple is located at the southern foot of the mountain, facing north. That's not all. Among the many Zen temples of the Rinzai sect, this is the only Soto sect temple. In addition, many of the Soto sect temples in Usa City are located at the end of Senpukuji Temple in Kunisaki, and it was opened by the fifth master of Kozanji Temple, Kigai Ryoyu, in Chofu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This was in the early Edo period. At the time of the Separation of Shinto and Buddhism ordinance in the early Meiji period, a storm of anti-Buddhism protests broke out in Usa, and many valuable cultural properties related to shrines were destroyed. The statue of Jōroku Yakushi Nyorai from the main hall of Mirokuji Temple has been moved to Daizenji Temple. It was designated as a national important cultural property in March 1989 (the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva was moved to Gokurakuji Temple). Other statues related to Usamiya Mirokuji Temple include Nikko Bosatsu, Gekko Bosatsu, Fudo Myoo, and Aizen Myoo.
