Top 38 things to do and attractions in Kakegawa

Get the combo ticket for a fun step back in time when visiting the castle. It includes access to the old buildings plus matcha tea and sweets. A really memorable experience!

Kakegawa Castle is a hidden gem — elegant, peaceful, and wonderfully restored. The wooden main keep stands proudly above the town, offering great views of the city and surrounding hills. Unlike some larger castles, it feels intimate and authentic, with a calm atmosphere that lets you really appreciate its history. The reconstruction was done using traditional methods, so the interior still feels like stepping back in time — wooden floors, steep staircases, and open rooms that echo with the past. The small museum nearby gives great context about the castle’s history and the local area. The surrounding gardens and paths are lovely to stroll through, and the whole site is clean, well-maintained, and easy to explore. It’s a quieter, less touristy alternative to some of Japan’s bigger castles, but every bit as beautiful. If you’re travelling through Shizuoka or between Tokyo and Kyoto, it’s definitely worth a stop — a peaceful window into Japan’s feudal past.

I visited Kakegawa Castle, and it was such a beautiful and peaceful place! 🏯✨ The view from the top of the castle is amazing — you can see the whole city and the surrounding mountains. The castle itself is well-maintained and full of history. I really felt the traditional atmosphere of Japan while walking around the area. Perfect spot for history lovers and for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy scenic views. 🌸

Surprisingly interesting. While the castle is a reconstruction what makes this special is that the palace is original. Most of the Japanese castles no longer have the associated palace. It is well with going here if you’re in the vicinity. Be aware that all the explanations are in Japanese. We used Google translate to read them.

Kakegawa Castle is a wonderfully restored historic site in Shizuoka that offers a rich and peaceful look into Japan’s samurai-era past. The main castle keep has been authentically rebuilt using traditional wooden construction techniques, giving it a distinct charm compared to the more modern reconstructions found elsewhere. Climbing to the top rewards you with sweeping views of Kakegawa city and the surrounding landscape. One of the highlights is the preserved Ni-no-Maru Palace next to the keep. This original structure lets you walk through tatami-floored rooms once used by the feudal lords, making it easy to imagine life during the Edo period. There’s also a small garden and tea house nearby where you can enjoy a quiet moment with matcha and wagashi (Japanese sweets). It’s only about a 10-minute walk from Kakegawa Station, and signage around the site is helpful even if you don’t speak Japanese. The entry fee is very reasonable, and the entire grounds are well-maintained. Whether you’re into Japanese history or just want a beautiful and calm place to explore, Kakegawa Castle is definitely worth a visit.

Didn't see all of the grounds or museum but the garden and castle were really nice. Be ready for the stairs up to as well as inside the castle.

Awesome experience and great history behind feudal Japan and how they did things. It was even more impressive on how they designed these palaces from the inside to outside and this was back in the 1400s. Very organized on how things were handled and the worst thing is that you can't take pictures of the inside of the palace, only outside.

Shinkansen track available. Clean and spacious station.

Kakegawa station…. If you want to use toilets don’t come out….toilets are inside of station Tenruhamanako line is near the flatform 1 North side bus stop a little hide is your left side corner

The seats Inside of the train smells like pee they should clean it is awful but the service is good 👍🏻

静岡県のメジャーな駅の一つ! One of the major railway stations in Shizuoka Prefecture! The newest Shinkansen station in Shizuoka Prefecture built to catter the World Soccer Cup. Very interesting locsl agricultural and food store inside and some tasty station bento. For the railway buffs: Kakegawa Station was first opened on April 16, 1889 when the section of the Tookaidoo Main Line connecting Shizuoka with Hamamatsu was completed. In 1935 the first section of the Tenryū Hamanako Line opened, with Kakegawa Station as its terminus. Regular freight service was discontinued in 1984. On March 13, 1988 the Tōkaidō Shinkansen platforms opened on the south side of the station. JR Kakegawa Station has five platforms serving eight tracks. The Tookaidoo Main Line Track 1 is served by a side platform connected to the main station building’s north exit and the Tenryū Hamanako Line station. It is used for departing both east and west. Track 2 and Track 3 are served by an island platform. Both platforms are connected to the station building by an underpass, which also connects to the two elevated side platforms used by the Shinkansen (Track 4 and Track 5). The north side of the station is a wooden structure dating from 1940. The station building has automated ticket machines, TOICA automated turnstiles and a manned “Green Window” service counter.

Kakegawa, a small and nice city. This station has stop for KODAMA bullets trains which connects Tokyo and Osaka in other end. Trains are running on time, typical Japanese way, appreciated.

Catching the bullet train ..

It was soooo beautiful. The guide said this is the second museum of stained glass in Japan.

Beautiful and i liked the coffee, i would like to buy it online

Wonderful

(Translated by Google) Admission fee is 500 yen per person. I thought it was a little expensive. The inside of the museum is small, but there were many stained glass pieces on display from the entrance to the back. It seems to be quite old, but it was in very good condition. I felt very beautiful and wonderful. Touching the works is prohibited. Photography is allowed and I took many photos. If this is your only goal, it may be a little unsatisfactory. It would be a good idea to visit Kakegawa Castle, the Imperial Palace, and the Ninomaru Museum of Art. (Original) 入場料は1人500円。少し高めかなと思いました。 館内は狭いのですが、入口から奥まで多数のステンドグラス作品が展示されていました。かなり古いモノだそうですが、とてもきれいな状態でした。非常に美しく、素晴らしいと感じました。 作品に触れることは禁止です。写真撮影は許可されていて、たくさんの写真を撮ってきました。 ここだけを目的とすると、少し物足りないかもしれません。掛川城や御殿、二の丸美術館などと併せて見学するのがいいでしょう。

(Translated by Google) It's not a very large facility, but the exhibits are compact. I wonder if it's lit only by natural light? The weather was nice when we visited, so we were able to see the beautiful stained glass. It's also nice that photography is allowed. (Original) それ程広い施設ではありませんが、コンパクトに展示されています。 自然光だけの明かりでしょうか？訪問した時は天候も良く、綺麗なステンドグラスを見ることが出来ました。 写真撮影が可と言うのも良いですね。

(Translated by Google) Although it is a relatively small exhibition hall, the stained glass exhibits of religious paintings were very beautiful. There was also an exhibit on how stained glass is made, which was very educational. (Original) 比較的小振りな展示館ですが宗教画のステンドグラスの展示がとても綺麗でした。 ステンドグラスの作り方などの展示もありたいへん勉強になりました。

(Translated by Google) The stained glass was beautiful. However, considering the small size, I'd like to charge 300 or 500 yen for coffee... It seems a bit out of proportion to the price. (^_^;) For 500 yen for something this spacious, it might be better to go see the stained glass in a church. (Original) ステンドグラスとても美しかったです。 ただ、狭さを考慮して300円若しくは500円でもコーヒー付きで…とか ちょっとお値段と比例してないかな(^_^;) この広さで500円なら教会のステンドグラスを見に行った方がいいかも。

There once was a castle on this steep hill. Tokugawa and Takeda battled many times to occupy this castle in 16th century.

For da TAKEDA CRAN

Amazing hikes and scenery!

(Translated by Google) I'd like to start by saying that I was very happy when Tamori-san said something like "It's the basics" when introducing the diorama of Takatenjin Castle in the Tamori Club. My first time climbing the castle was on a bus trip in elementary school. The teachers at that time made a very reluctant decision. Naturally, it was too difficult for elementary school students and it ended up being just a hike, but I was a tomboy at the time, but I had a foundation for loving castles, and I talked enthusiastically about it with one of the smartest kids in the world. When I became an adult, I used to visit the castle every year in early March to build up my physical strength. I hiked with such a light-hearted feeling from the eastern peak where the main castle is located to the highest peak of the western peak where Takatenjin Shrine is located. In fact, from the area around Ninomaru, down the western ridge, the best civil engineering technology of the time is preserved in the best condition, like a textbook on mountain castles, with Takeda castle building techniques galore. It is a treasure-like space for mountain castle lovers. On the other hand, the area is a little more difficult due to the many defensive irregularities, so if you are not confident in your physical strength, you should not push yourself. This is as far as I went, climbing from the Otemon Gate, but due to time constraints I cut out the round trip from the back gate side and the area where Takeda rode horseback along the ridge to convey news of the fall of the castle to Kai. So I took my time going around, taking about an hour and a half. Even so, I was surprised to pass by someone even in the evening, when I used to not meet anyone. There were many cars with license plates from other prefectures, and I realized once again that castles are really booming (lol). (Original) 昔タモリ倶楽部でお城ジオラマの回があり、高天神城のジオラマ紹介の時にタモリさんが『基本だからね～♪』的な発言をされ凄く嬉しかった事を一番最初に述べたい(笑)私の初登城は小学校の時のバスでの遠足。当時の先生方もなんとも渋い選択をされたものだ(笑)当然ながら小学生には難し過ぎてただのハイキングとなってしまったが、ヤンチャ盛りながら城好きの下地のあった私は一、二を争う秀才君とこの時だけは熱く語ったものだ。大人になり一時期は３月頭に毎年体力作りも兼ね訪れていたり・・・。そんなライトな気分でのハイキングは本丸のある東峰から高天神社のある西峰最高峰あたりまで。実は西嶺を下った二の丸付近から先は武田築城術がふんだんに施された山城の教科書の様な当時最高峰の土木技術が最高の保存状態で残されている。山城好きには宝物の様な空間なのだ。逆に言えば防御の為の凹凸が多い分、少し難易度が上がるので体力に自信のない方はご無理は禁物のエリアでもある。今回追手門から登った私が訪れたのはここまでだが、搦手門側からの往復や武田落城時に尾根沿いを馬で走り甲斐に伝達したとされる方面は時間の都合でカットした。それでゆっくり回って一時間半ほど。それにしても昔は誰とも会わなかったが夕方でも誰かしらすれ違ったのには驚いた。他県ナンバー多数だったしやはりお城ってブームなんだなぁ(笑)と改めて感じた次第。

(Translated by Google) While it's not a particularly famous mountain castle, there's quite a lot to see and it really left the impression of being a mountain castle. There are two parking lots, one at the north entrance and one at the south entrance, but I recommend the north entrance, as it has more parking spaces and wider stairs. Of course, the castle itself is no longer there, but remnants of the original site remain everywhere, and when I climbed to the ruins of the castle tower, I was impressed, realizing that building a mountain castle here made sense. While the grounds are fairly well maintained, there are still some slippery patches due to fallen leaves and stones, so sneakers are a good choice. There are also toilets and benches scattered around, so you can take your time exploring. I spent a little over an hour exploring the area. It seems there's also a history of the battle for Takatenjin Castle, and history buffs were excited. But even if you don't know much history, I think you'll enjoy it. (Original) そこまで有名な山城ではありませんが、中々見どころが多く これぞ、山城という印象でした。 駐車場が北口と南口２つありますが、北口のほうが 台数も広く、階段も広いのでお勧めです。 もちろん城そのものは残っていませんが、それでも 当時の名残はいたるところに残っており、天守閣跡に 登ると、なるほどここに山城を築くのは理にかなっていると 感心しました。 ある程度整備されているものの、落ち葉や石などで滑り やすいところもあるので、スニーカーが良いでしょう。 トイレやベンチも点在しているので、ゆっくり時間をかけて 回ることができます。 自分は1時間ちょっとかけて色々周りました。 高天神城の攻防戦の歴史もあるようで、歴女の方々が 色々盛り上がっていました。 でも歴史をあまり知らなくても楽しめると思います。

(Translated by Google) There are several large parking lots and toilets, making sightseeing easy. It's an incredible mountain castle, and not as tiring as Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, but the stairs were quite steep. I was surprised to see a sacred carp in the crescent well along the way. It hid inside the tube, though. From the remains of the main citadel, the view of the tea fields below was spectacular. I'm glad I came. 10 million ryo was donated to Lord Motonobu. I was also surprised to find a water tank and drinking faucet. I sprayed some water on the castle soldiers to keep them thirsty, and then turned off the faucet. (Original) 広い駐車場が複数、トイレもあって観光しやすいです。凄い山城で備中松山城程は疲れませんでしたが、階段の勾配がキツかった。 途中の三日月井戸に神聖な鯉がいてびっくりしました。筒の中に隠れちゃいましたが。 本丸跡は眼下に茶畑が広がり絶景でした。来て良かった。 元信公に1000万両寄進。 なんと給水タンクと水飲み蛇口があってまたびっくり。城兵の皆さんが喉乾かないようにちょっと散水して蛇口閉めてきました。

(Translated by Google) A must-visit for mountain castle lovers! Not only is it home to the history of the numerous battles between the Tokugawa and Takeda, but it is also full of charm as a mountain castle. I entered from the back entrance, and on the way there was a small crescent-shaped pool-like pond with a rope stretched across it, and for some reason there was only one goldfish in it. Once you reach the ridge, the mountain castle becomes quite labyrinthine. In the area of the main enclosure, there is a stone cave where loyal samurai stayed, the main enclosure and several other enclosures, and there are also spots with good views. From the well on the pass, visit the Nishinomaru (Takatenjin Shrine) and then head into the intricate group of enclosures. If you can navigate the narrow paths and enclosures with moats and vertical moats well, you will have made a complete loop. It is truly a maze, and it is exciting. Once you return to the well, it is only a short distance down to the back entrance. If you take your time and enjoy the highlights, it will take about 1.5 hours. A very good score. If you download the AR at the foot of the mountain onto your smartphone and scan it at various points, you can enjoy imaginary images that recreate what it was like at the time. (Original) 山城好きはぜひ訪れるべし！ 徳川対武田の数次にわたる戦の歴史もさることながら、山城としての魅力満載である。 搦手から入ったが、途中に三日月形の小さな水溜りのような池に注連縄が張って何故か金魚が一匹だけいた。 尾根筋に出るとそこからは迷路性の高い山城である。 本丸方面内には忠義に厚い武士のこもった石窟あり、本丸他いくつかの郭あり、見晴らしの良いスポットもある。 峠の井戸から西の丸＝高天神神社にお参りして、いざ入り組んだ郭群へ。堀切や竪堀が配置された郭と細い道をうまく回ると周回になる。本当に迷路であり、ワクワクしてくる。井戸のところまで戻ってくれば搦手まで降りるのもわずか。 ゆっくりポイントを味わいながら回ると1.5時間ほど。かなりの高得点。 麓にあるARをスマホにダウンロードしてポイントポイントで読み込めば、当時の様子を復元した想像図も楽しめる。

(Translated by Google) I visited on a Sunday afternoon. The scenery was great, with a panoramic view of the surrounding area. However, the road was very narrow, so I had to use passing refuges scattered throughout the road to pass oncoming vehicles. (Original) 日曜日の午後にうかがいました。 景観はとてもよく、辺りが一望できます。 ただ、道がとても狭く所々に有る待避所を利用して対向車とすれ違いながら上がって行く形になります。

(Translated by Google) The highest peak in the Makinohara area (532m above sea level) offers a 180-degree panoramic view from Enshu Kakegawa to Shida Yaizu, Fujieda, and Shimada. Around 2018, the teahouse and observation deck at the top of the mountain was renovated and has become extremely beautiful. Personally, I have visited many times since I was a child, and recently I have been visiting occasionally when I have time when I return home. The last time was a few years ago, so there was an increase in the number of trekkers and cyclists, changes in the social situation after the coronavirus pandemic, guides at the trailhead and summit who were assigned during the busy season, and the number of people entering the mountain by car. The changes in the time zones for getting off, etc., and the renewal of the teahouses were truly amazing. . Although it can't compete with Oshiro's jumbo zodiac, a large tiger zodiac decoration was made, and the food menu served was delicious. Although the front side (Higashiyama area on the south slope) seems to be undergoing improvements, the mountain trail on the back side (Kurama area on the north slope) remains as it was around 1985, with many falling rocks and a rough road surface. On the Kurama side, the road is barely wide enough for a light vehicle. There are not many shelters, so depending on where you are, you may have to back up several tens of meters of dangerous narrow mountain roads. The close encounters can be too tiring for those of a generation used to modern roads and those with wide vehicles, so I don't recommend it to anyone other than those who are used to local roads. We recommend climbing from the Higashiyama area on the southern slope of the mountain. (Original) 遠州掛川～志太焼津・藤枝・島田まで、180度のパノラマを望める、牧之原エリアの最高峰(海抜532m)。 2018年頃に山頂の茶屋兼展望台がリニューアルされ、めちゃくちゃ綺麗になった。 個人には、子供の頃から何度も訪れ、最近も帰省時に時間が取れたら、たまに訪れています。 前回は数年前だったので、トレッキングやサイクリストの方々の増加、コロナ禍を経ての世相の変化、混雑期に配される、登山口や山頂の誘導員の方々、それによる自動車入山者に対する登り降りの時間帯分け、等々、、茶屋のリニューアルともども変化が本当に凄かった。。 大代のジャンボ干支には敵いませんが、大きな虎の干支飾りが作られていたり、供されるフードメニューも美味しくなっていました。 表側(南側斜面東山地区)の整備が進む印象だが、裏手(北側斜面倉真地区)の登山道は、昭和60年頃のままで、落石も多く、路面が荒れています。 倉真側は、道幅も軽自動車でやっと。 待避所もあまりないので、場所により数10mは危険な細い山道をバックする羽目になります。 すれ合いも、最近の整備された道に慣れた世代や車幅がある自動車にはしんどすぎるので、地元の道に慣れた人以外には、あまりお勧めしません。 表側の南側斜面東山地区からの登山をお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit to Kaposhi Terrace at Mt. Awagatake since it was built, but the road is still as narrow as before, and although there are shelters here and there, there are many places where they are missing or cannot be seen! ⚠ There are 3 parking lots! There was also a parking lot for wheelchairs and a parking lot for 2 or 3 cars near the Kaposhi Terrace building! On the east side of the upper part of Kaposhi Terrace, there is a small room on the protrusion, and there are pictures on display. (It looks like a secret base) There was a bench on the opposite protrusion so you could look at the sky! Recommended! However, it is necessary for driving!

(Translated by Google) Good view! 😄 Mt. Fuji looked hazy today😢 The road is narrow🍁 (Original) 景色良し！😄 今日の富士山は、霞んで見えました😢 道狭いです🍁

(Translated by Google) I went to the top of the mountain by car. Because the road is narrow, it is divided into an up-bound time zone and a down-bound time zone. If you run without protecting yourself, you will run into a collision and become unable to move. The view at the top of the mountain was great and it was cool! (Original) 車で山頂に行きました。道幅が狭いので上りの時間帯と下りの時間帯に分かれてます。守らないで走ると鉢合わせになって身動き取れなくなります。山頂は展望も良くて涼しかった！

it's simple nature park

Great view. Need to be more clean

nice place with a good trail space to camp with a view and the comfort of security ...

It was windy when we went there, but the place was nice.

Beautiful Scenery

Great beach and good for fishing

Huge clean beach and parking with loos

Nice place to enjoy a green tea in very calm and cozy atmosphere. You spent 15 minutes up to 30minutes in this tea house. The great thing is, beside they already prepared tea, the view into the garden, the greens, the water. It is totally relaxing and invites you for small meditation unit. I missed the tea ceremony, therefore 4 out of 5 stars.

When we visited Kakegawa Castle while our trip to Shizuoka, we visited their Japanese Tea Room on the premises. Kakegawa Castle was originally built about 500 years ago. However, most of the castle was destroyed in the big earthquake of 1854. It was rebuilt in 1944, and it was the first castle Japan to be rebuilt with wood. Ninomaru Tea Room was also built with wood, in 2002, one story, traditional house. The Tea Room is sitting right by the Kakegawa Castle Tower, you have a beautiful view of the tower from there. Blue sky, green grass and trees, and the castle, perfect scenery for an afternoon tea. The main tea room is in the back, with large windows that overlooks their peaceful garden. It is such a beautiful setting with the greenery outside against red carpet. The windows are all around the room, so that the view of the garden can be enjoyed from any and all seats. In the middle of the room was where the tea is made, it is quite interesting to be at a real Japanese tea ceremony to see them work. We were not here for any kind of tea ceremony event, so that was not done in front of us, but we still got to taste their tea and sweets. We were all given a Japanese confectionery of a purple flower, and sencha green tea. After we took our time enjoying the tea, we walked around its garden and relaxed some more. It was such as treat during our visit to the castle. While taking in its history and detailed reconstruction and architecture of it, it is good to have a little down time to take it all in. Read my full review of this tea room on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

Very nice. Just show your ticket to the castle and they’ll give you 100 yen off the tea. It’s great.

We had a very lovely experience with extremely polite and welcoming "staff". They made us feel at home and served us very good sencha tea with homemade sweet. It was just like being in a very Zen room with old friends enjoying good tea. Thank you so much :)

Ninomaru Tea Room is in the traditional Sukiya style and has Ichimonji straight line tiles on the roof. You can enjoy drinking tea over the garden and castle with fee.

(Translated by Google) What I was looking forward to even more than the castle tower was the tea room. Apparently, seven-time champion Fujii played his O-sho match in this room. It was hot and humid, so the view of the garden from the air-conditioned tea room was amazing. The matcha was from Kakegawa's proud tea shop, Kimikura, and the nerikiri was from a Japanese confectionery shop in the city, and both were absolutely delicious and lived up to my expectations. The hospitality of the staff here was also wonderful, and while a visit here alone costs 510 yen, the castle set ticket costs 960 yen, so I recommend getting the set ticket. (Original) 天守閣以上に楽しみだったのがこの茶室。 藤井七冠もこちらの部屋で王将戦の対局を行ったそうな。 蒸し暑かったのでエアコンの効いた茶室で眺める庭は最高でした。 抹茶は掛川が誇るお茶やんの「きみくら」練り切りは市内の和菓子やさんのものなのですが、どちらも文句なく美味くて期待通りでした。 こちらの店員さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしかったですし、ここ単独だと510円ですが、御城セット券だと960円なのでセット券がお薦めです。

(Translated by Google) A spacious tea room where you can experience the spirit of Kakegawa City's tea ceremony. The elegant Ninomaru tea room, built in the sukiya style, blends in with the surrounding landscape. When you want some space When you need some space When you have some space It can also be used for tea ceremonies for individuals, groups, and organizations. 🍵 (Original) 掛川市の茶事の心にふれるひとときのためのゆとり茶室。 周囲の景観と調和した数寄屋造りの趣のある二の丸茶室です。 ゆとりがほしいとき ゆとりが必要なとき ゆとりがあるとき 個人、グループ、団体などのお茶会にも ご利用いただけます。🍵

(Translated by Google) The Shimizu family once served as a purveyor to the domain. During the Meiji period, the family business changed to a designated post office. The remains can be seen above the entrance along the highway. The garden is stroll-style. Although it is small, it has solid ups and downs and is rich in variety. You can enjoy matcha and amazake at the Yusuitei on the premises. The information pamphlet states that the main building was rebuilt (around 1864) following the Ansei Tokai Earthquake (1854), indicating that it had once collapsed. By the way, the signboard introducing the nearby Yokosuka ruins states that the inlet dried up and the port function was lost due to the Hoei Earthquake, and the Enshu Sea basin has a history of suffering severe damage from the Nankai Tonankai Tokai Earthquake. is conveying. (Original) かつて藩の御用達を勤めた清水家。明治期には家業を特定郵便局へ変えた。街道沿いの入口上に名残りが見える。庭園は回遊式。小さくともしっかり起伏があり、変化に富む。敷地内の湧水亭にて抹茶や甘酒を頂ける。案内パンフに安政東海地震（1854）母屋再建（1864頃）と書かれ、一度倒壊した事が伺える。因みに近くの横須賀🏯跡の紹介看板には宝永地震によって、入江が干上がり、湊の機能が失われたと記されていて、遠州灘流域が度々南海東南海東海大地震による甚大な被害を受けてきた歴史を伝えている。

(Translated by Google) I happened to find it when I was passing by and stopped by. It's a nice garden 😊 A pleasant breeze passes through the arbor, and carp are attracted to the pond. I was thinking of getting a tea service for 510 yen, but I was hesitant to go home because there was a person in a kimono talking to me😅 There seems to be a guide to the toilet at the back right of the main building. (Original) 近くを通った時にたまたま見つけおじゃましました。 素敵なお庭ですね😊 東屋には気持ちの良い風が通り、池では鯉が寄ってきます。 510円で呈茶ｻｰﾋﾞｽとあったので頂こうと思ってたのですが、着物姿の方がお話ししてたので何となく気後れして帰ってしまった😅 ﾄｲﾚは母屋の右奥に案内があったようです

(Translated by Google) Admission is free, and adults can enjoy matcha tea with Japanese sweets for 510 yen at Yusuitei in the garden. We also have amazake and matcha latte. There are also chair seats, so if you can't sit up straight, don't worry. Koi carp swim gracefully in the pond, and if you walk through the garden and climb up a little, you'll find a pavilion where you can relax. The autumn leaves look beautiful in autumn. (Original) 入園は無料で、庭園内の湧水亭では大人510円で和菓子付きお抹茶が頂けます。 その他に、甘酒や抹茶ラテもあります。 イス席もあるので正座が無理な方は安心です。 池には鯉が優雅に泳ぎ、庭を散策し少し登って行くと東屋があり、のんびりできる所です。 秋には紅葉が綺麗みたいです。

(Translated by Google) Admission is free if you do not receive tea service. The size of the garden is surprising considering this is a private residence. Since it was a weekday and the leaves were early in the season, it was just the beginning of autumn, so there weren't many people and I was able to enjoy the view at my leisure. It seems to be crowded during cherry blossom season. The parking lot is not large, so it can be difficult during busy times. (Original) 呈茶サービスを受けないなら、拝観料は無料です。 これが個人宅とは驚く様な庭の広さです。 平日で紅葉にも早く秋の入り口程度の季節に行った為に殆んど客は居らずゆっくりと見ることができました。 桜の時期には混むそうです。 駐車場も広くはないので混む時期は大変そうですね。

(Translated by Google) It's not very big, but it's very beautiful, and you can also enjoy matcha tea at the shop inside the garden. This time I only went for a walk, but next time I would definitely like to have some matcha tea and spend some time relaxing while looking at the carp in the pond. (Original) 広くはないけど凄く綺麗で庭園内のお店で抹茶もいただける 今回は散策のみで伺いましたが次回は是非抹茶をいただきながらゆっくりとした時間を過ごしてみたいと池の鯉を見ながら思いました

(Translated by Google) The house used to be a shipping wholesaler, and you can see the lovely garden for free. There are two parking spaces. On some days, you can have tea in the house (for a fee). There is a spring, and there are carp in the pond, and a gazebo on a slightly elevated area. (Original) かつて回船問屋を営んでいたお宅とのことで、素敵な庭園が無料で見られる。駐車場は２ヵ所。日によってお屋敷の中でお茶をいただけたり（有料）するらしい。湧き水が出ているそうで、池には鯉、ちょっと小高い場所には東屋もある。

The photo shows the floats making the shrine visit in the light rain ☂ at the Kakegawa Festival 2025. 🏮 (Original) 掛川城から北に800m。🏯の鬼門方角にある守護神⛩️ 御祭神 素戔嗚尊 (スサノオノミコト） 例祭 毎年10月第2金土日曜日には社殿での神事に先立ち、氏子町内19地区の山車屋台が宮参りを行う。 3年に一度の大祭ではご神幸があり神輿・山車屋台が出て掛川城下・町内を勇壮に練り歩く。 写真は掛川祭2025年小雨☂の中、宮参りする屋台の様子も含む🏮

(Translated by Google) I visited this shrine while pilgrimage to the Enshu Yaegamidama. It is not a large shrine, but it is very beautiful and calming. It is a little far away, but it is a shrine I like very much and would like to visit again. (Original) 遠州八重神玉巡りで伺いました。大きくはありませんがとても綺麗で心が落ち着く神社でした。少し遠いですがまた行ってみたくなるとても好きな神社です。

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine because I heard it was decorated with wind chimes. There was a large free parking lot, so it was easy to park. From the entrance, you have to climb a long flight of stairs. The steps are unstable, so be careful. There seems to be a detour that cars can use. It's a small shrine, but the colorful wind chimes and lanterns on the wind and forest shelves were very beautiful. There seems to be a garden at the base, but I didn't have time to stop by. (Original) 風鈴が飾られているというので参拝いたしました 広い無料駐車場があり駐車しやすかったです 入り口から長い階段登ります 足元が不安定なので注意が必要です 回り道で車の通れる道はあるようです 小さい神社ですが風林棚に色とりどりの風鈴や提灯が飾ってあってとても綺麗でした 麓には庭園があるようでしたが、時間がなく立ち寄れませんでした

(Translated by Google) Visited on September 27, 2025. The shrine is located in a quiet place. There was a cute Doraemon. I stroked it❣️ I also saw the adorable Ebisu statue. They had some purifying salt for me. (Original) 2025.9.27 参拝。　静かな場所に鎮座されていました。　かわいいドラえもんがいました。なでなで❣️ かわいらしい恵比寿さまもみえました。　お清めの塩がありいただきました。

(Translated by Google) I was able to collect goshuin stamps on August 12th, the summer solstice! It was a very hot day, but a refreshing breeze blew through the shrine, and the wind chimes, which are displayed for the summer, created a beautiful sound. 🎐 The wind was constantly blowing through the shrine, and I felt a sense of power! Each wind chime tunnel was so beautiful, I was mesmerized. 😍 (Original) 8/12 夏至に御朱印集めできました！とても暑い日でしたが、ここの神社は爽やかな風が駆け抜けており、夏に飾られている風鈴のトンネルがとてもきれいな音色を奏でておりました🎐 ずっと風が通っており、パワーを感じる神社でした！風鈴のトンネルも、ひとつひとつとても綺麗でうっとりしました😍

(Translated by Google) This is a place I've wanted to visit for a long time. Because it was a Sunday, there were many other visitors. For some reason, Doraemon was there. (Original) 以前より、参拝したかった場所であります。 日曜日だった為、他の参拝客の方が多く 来られておりました。 何故か、ドラえもんがいました。

(Translated by Google) I came to collect goshuin stamps! It was a Sunday afternoon, but there was only one visitor. Since it was a snake day, I received a special goshuin stamp and one written by hand! (Original) 御朱印集めに来訪！ 日曜の午後でしたが参拝客は1名のみ 巳の日ということで特別御朱印と 直書きをいただきました！

Excellent works of art! This is the modern art .

(Translated by Google) I learned about the history of Shiseido. For some reason, there was no tech21 exhibit. There are no cosmetics either. I would like to display the YAMAHAtech21 bike that Tadahiko Taira, whom I admired, rode. (Original) 資生堂の歴史、学べました。なぜかtech21の展示が、無かったです。化粧品自体も無いし。私が、憧れた平忠彦の乗っていたYAMAHAtech21バイク展示して欲しいです。

(Translated by Google) I'm so sad that it's closing on 11/29/2025 😢 The last time it was closed, and I was really looking forward to going next time... But there are only about 10 days until it closes... It was too sudden and I couldn't fit it into my schedule even if I tried to go (it takes 5-7 hours by car). It seems that the Art House will also be closing next year, and it will be such a shame that this wonderful space, including the garden, will be gone... (Original) 20251129で閉館なんて悲しすぎます😢前回休館日で次こそ行きたいと思っていたのに…。閉館まで約10日…急すぎて無理して行くにもスケジュール合わず無理でした（車で5～7時間かかる）。 アートハウスも来年で終わりだそうで、お庭も含めてあの素敵な空間がなくなってしまうのは非常に残念です…。

(Translated by Google) Parking and admission are both free of charge. This facility displays Shiseido's commercial videos and posters. Photography was prohibited inside the museum. I also wanted to visit the art house, but unfortunately it was closed until the end of February. (Original) 駐車場•入館とも無料で見学出来ます。資生堂のコマーシャル映像やポスターが展示されている施設です。館内は撮影禁止でした。 アートハウスも見学したかったのですが、2月いっぱいは休館だそうで残念でした。

(Translated by Google) Shiseido Art Corporate Museum This is a place I've always wanted to go to. Shiseido's history is introduced in chronological order You can see the products in real life from the time they were first released. Uniforms designed by beauty staff member Issey Miyake are also on display. I think it's a really nice design that you can still wear today. Past posters are also from Shiseido! It doesn't feel old and makes you imagine that it was very innovative and fashionable at the time. You can watch the commercial on video, but I lost track of time and ended up watching the whole thing. So I stayed in the building for about 4 hours. If you love the history of Usani-Kaku cosmetics and retro cosmetics, this is a place you should visit. As expected from Shiseido, you can enter for free! (Original) 資生堂アート企業資料館ずっと行きたいと思っていた場所です。 資生堂の歴史が年代順で紹介されて 発売当初からの商品をリアルに観る事が出来ます。 美容部員さんの三宅一生さんデザインのユニホームも展示してあって 凄く素敵で今でも着れそうなデザインだと思います。 歴代のポスターも流石資生堂さん！ 古さを感じさせなくて当時はとても斬新でオシャレだったと想像させられます。 CMもビデオで観る事が出来るのですが時間忘れて一周見てしまいました。なので４時間位館内に居ました。兎に角コスメの歴史やレトロコスメ大好きな方は行ってみて欲しい場所です。 無料で入館出来るのも資生堂さん流石です！

(Translated by Google) Founded in 1872, Shiseido is credited with elevating its brand image and the advertising that represents it to the level of culture and art. Here you can see its history and many of its works (it's actually a product, but it's more appropriate to call it that). While Suntory, the leading figure in the Western advertising world, developed advertisements through the hands of star creators such as Ken Kaiko and Hitomi Yamaguchi, Shiseido in the East discovered star models such as Minari Maeda, Kimie Shingyoji, and Sayoko Yamaguchi, and in the past, There was even a play performed by the beauty staff, and I think the focus was on ``how to present''. They are so thorough that they have created their own font called the "Shiseido typeface." It is also used as the nameplate (?) on the entrance wall here. When you enter, you will see product packages and containers from the Meiji era to the present. What's amazing is that even though this product is over 100 years old, it doesn't feel old at all. Good design is universal, regardless of trends. There is also an art house (museum) next door. The Art House was designed by Yoshio Taniguchi, a modernist architect who also designed the new building of MoMA, and although it opened in 1979, almost 40 years ago, it has a timeless feel. This is also the same as the product. In other words, this facility itself is located on the same axis as many products, and it probably represents the identity of Shiseido as a company. (Original) 1872年創業の資生堂は、ブランドイメージとそれを表現する広告を文化芸術の域まで高めたと評価されています。ここではその歴史と数々の作品（商品なのですが、こう呼ぶ方が相応しいです）を見ることができます。 西の広告界の雄、サントリーが開高健や山口瞳らスタークリエイターの手による広告展開だったのに対し、東の資生堂は前田美波里や真行寺君枝、山口小夜子などスターモデルを発掘、また過去には美容部員による演劇まで開催、徹底して「見せ方」にフォーカスを当ててたように思います。 その徹底ぶりは、独自の「資生堂書体」と呼ばれるフォントを作り上げたほど。ここのエントランス壁の表札（？）にも用いられています。 中に入ると明治から現在までの商品パッケージや容器が並んでいます。凄いのは、100年以上昔の商品なのに、古臭さを全くと言っていいほど感じません。流行に関係なく、良いデザインは普遍的なのですね。 尚、隣にはアートハウス（美術館）もあります。アートハウスはMoMA新館も手掛けたモダニズム建築家の谷口吉生氏の設計で、開館が1979年ともうすぐ40年になるというのに、時代を感じさせません。これも商品と一緒ですね。 つまりはここの施設そのものが、数々の商品と同軸上に位置するものであり、資生堂という企業のアイデンティティを表しているのでしょう。

(Translated by Google) [First visit in September 2018] The building and exhibits show Shiseido's sense of style. ★I would have given it a 4, but minus 1 because taking photos is prohibited😂 Why not? I don't think it violates copyright... It is also not allowed to enter the lawn on the premises. Is it because of Chinese tourists? (Original) 【平成30年9月 初訪問】 資生堂のセンスがわかる建物と展示です。★4で良いのですが、写真撮影禁止のため、マイナス1😂 なぜ、だめなんでしょう？ 著作権には抵触しないと思うのですが‥‥‥ 敷地内の芝生への立ち入り禁止もいまいちです。 中国人観光客のせいなんですか？

June can be very rainy but we had a lucky day which was a bit hot but made the viewing of the flowers very nice. They are perfect around early June I think. It's cool to see both a mix of colours and all the same color. Highly recommended for flower lovers.

At the Kasuisai Temple, sure it is not as big as the others, but it has its own small charm for a New Years rites visit. It even has a nice doll festival museum which is worth visiting at least once. But what makes this interesting is the Monk Chef. He apparently is famous and his face is all over every ice cream and cuisine he has to do with. I wondered who this man was, but found an old individual selling udon under a tent which is simple but good that I eat every year there. IT WAS HIM! never realized it until now. Let's make this nice old man famous! Humble but skilled, doesnt draw attention to himself selling udon under a tent, but one should shake his hand. I will from now on.

It's quite a nice place but so expensive. Far too expensive for what it is, plus the parking is 500yen on top of the 1100yen each entry fee. Go down the road a bit and use the 300 yen parking instead

Beautiful place for a walk

(Translated by Google) I visited on July 2nd. It took about 3 hours to get there from Yokohama Machida Interchange, including breaks. I think the highway toll was about 5,500 yen. It's about 20 minutes on the general road after getting off at Fukuroi Interchange. There are several parking lots, but the closest one is 500 yen, and the furthest one is 100 yen. If you're going to the neighboring Kasui-sai, it's better to park in a faraway place. It's only about a 5-minute walk to the garden. Here's a word of caution! This year's flowers will end on July 6th (according to the website). They seem to be at the end of their season, but thanks to the care, they are in full bloom. Speaking of lilies, their scent is also great, and it's the best! The great thing about this garden is that you can enjoy it from various perspectives, such as looking up or down from the slope. There are places where the flowers are planted in mixed and single colors. The photos that everyone has uploaded are beautiful, but they are even more amazing in person. Please go and see them. Next, I want to go to the hydrangeas in Kaisei-cho, Kanagawa, and the sunflowers in Akeno-mura, Yamanashi. I hope this helps you. Have a nice trip! (Original) ７月２日訪問しました 横浜町田インターから休憩入れて約３時間程度で到着。高速代は5500円位だったかな？袋井ICから降りて一般道で20分程度。駐車場が数カ所ありますが、園から一番近い場所は500円、遠い場所は100円。隣接する可睡斎へ行くなら遠い場所がいいでしょう。園まで歩いても５分程度ですしね。 ここでご注意！今年は７月６日で終わりだそうです（HPより）花は終盤感がありますが、お手入れのお陰でしょうか綺麗に咲き誇っています。 百合の花といえば香りも楽しみですが最高です! この園のすごさは斜面の下で見上げたり、見下ろしたり色々な視点で楽しめる事。花色もミックスと単色で植えている場所があります。 皆さんのがアップしている写真はきれいですけど、実物をみるともっと凄いです。ぜひ行ってみてください 次に行きたいのは神奈川開成町のあじさいと山梨県明野村のヒマワリ。 皆様のお役に立てれば幸いです 良い旅を！

(Translated by Google) We visited the garden on June 15th. Heavy rain until the morning caused damage to many of the plants and flowers, so we will probably have to wait for the buds to bloom around the weekend. Today it seemed like the flowers were just holding on, but they were very beautiful. I trusted the weather forecast and arrived from Kanagawa at 9am, aiming to arrive after the rain, but there were about 30 people ahead of me and we were able to look around at our own pace. I was overwhelmed by the number of plants and the size of the garden, and the colorful flowers, including the hydrangeas, made for a beautiful sight. My daughter insisted on going because it is set on the hill where those flowers bloom, but if the timing is right I will definitely visit Kasuisai for the lilies and Hinamatsuri. (Original) 6月15日に来園、朝までの大雨でかなりの株に被害と花にもダメージが出てますので、今週末頃に咲く蕾待ちになりそうですかね。 本日はギリギリ花か持ち堪えてる感じでしたがとても綺麗でした。 天気予報を信じ雨上がりを狙って神奈川から9時に着きましたが先に30 人程でまぁゆっくり見てまわれました。 とにかく株数、広さに圧倒、紫陽花も含めて色とりどりでとにかく素敵な景色でした。 あの花の咲く丘での舞台でもあり、娘がどうしてもという事で行きましたが、百合とひな祭りはタイミングが合えば必ず可睡斎に伺おうと思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited in late June. There are paid parking lots at and near the entrance to the garden. I think it's 500 yen everywhere. The admission fee was 1100 yen per person, not at its peak (1500 yen at its peak). The view of the vast grounds filled with lilies is overwhelming. I've never seen such a beautiful view before. Since it's only open seasonally, I think the admission fee is reasonable. (Original) 6月下旬に訪問しました。園の入り口と近くに有料駐車場があります。どこも500円だと思います。入園料は最盛期ではなくて1人1100円（最盛期は1500円）でした。広大な敷地にゆりの花がいっぱい咲いている景色は圧巻です。こんな素晴らしい景色は今まで見たことがありませんでした。季節限定の開園のためこの程度の入園料はリーズナブルだと思います。

Organically grown kiwi farm spanning across 14 hectares, kiwi and Persimmon plantation in 7-8 hectares. There are 85 varieties of KIWI. Its first of its kind plantation of Kiwi in Japan, owner has took training in California and returned to Japan for kiwi farming. Note they don’t export kiwi as export requires spraying the fruits to avoid probable insects transmission, owner doesn’t want their fruits to be sprayed as it losses organic purpose . If one is in Hamamatsu this place must be included in itinerary.

Even the day that we went was raining. But I really like this place. You can eat kiwis how many you want to! They have a FREE parking lot near the entrance,huge and comfortable BBQ House. You might can bring your friends,families, colleagues to here..! Park Entrance fee : 1300 Yen BBQ house usage fee : 3300 Yen/table(max 12 people) You can also bring your own food here to eat.!! Very recommended !!

Such a wonderful experience. We were warmly welcomed by the family and enjoyed the tea picking and preparation experience. The place is lovely, lively, and full of passion !!

Koshi san has a beautiful farm and we could not have had more fun during our visit! He took us on a quick walking tour up to pick green tea leaves, sharing the history of the farm and the varieties of kiwi they grow (in English), and then back to the covered area for an amazing barbecue. They were so kind and welcoming to us and our kids, and the food was bountiful and incredibly delicious. This is a really special place, whimsical and lovely in all the right ways. We will definitely be back!

À Lovely And family atmosphère ! Great experience of Tea picking And preparation, very interesting ! Baby sheep, rabbit, duck, etc are so cute ! Kiwi ice cream is very good !! Thanks for all !

Though it took quite some time to get to this organic farm from JR station, visiting this organic kiwifruit farm was definitely worth our while. The farm-guide was remarkably friendly, knowledgeable, and fluent in English. Even though the harvest season for kiwi-fruits was over, we could eat several kinds of kiwi-fruits (all-you-could-eat, which was included in the admission fee)! This farm also grows tangerines, persimmons, Japanese tea and has a mini-hiking trail. If you can afford spending 2-3 hours in this place, just do it!

Experience the beauty of nature interacting with humanity at Kiwi Fruit Country Japan. This place will leave you with a lasting impression. From organic Kiwi production with over 80 varieties that you have never seen anywhere to a space for camping and barbecuing hedged and designed below the Kiwi plantation. Who else can create a a shade of Kiwi plantation with a sensation of barbecue slots. The mouth watering aroma also helps to wade off pets and diseases thus the organic Kiwi fruits. Health and Wealth meet up at Kakegawa Fruit Country Japan.

There are no castles or other buildings there, but a nice place like the park.

beautiful

(Translated by Google) There is one parking lot on the south side of the main enclosure and one on the west side (restrooms are available). The staircases and other areas are made of concrete. It has a strong impression of being a historical park rather than a castle ruin. The cobblestone walls made from Oi River are unique. I guess it can't be helped, but concrete is used for the connections. Zannen. The ruins are easy to understand. Are the places where Ninomaru would have been preserved in a wide area? Susukino was spreading. If you go a little to the south, you can easily see the remains of the outer moat from that time. It is interesting to see that the former highway is now a public motorway. There are a fair amount of ruins left, so I want to take a leisurely walk while imagining what it was like back then! Right in front of you is an inlet that can be accessed by large ships? Minato? It's hard to believe that it was. There is quite a distance to the current coastline! Earthquakes are scary, even if some areas have been reclaimed. . Apparently there was also a cove on the south side of Takatenjin Castle, which is right in front of you. It would have been very useful for supplies and trade, and it would have also been an impregnable castle that took advantage of the natural topography. It's a very quiet town and you hardly see any cars or neighbors. The view of the Enshu Sea from the main enclosure is amazing and there are no benches. It might be nice to sit on the stone wall and have lunch. I've never seen anything like that before, but I'm sure there are some people who would like to eat at the castle ruins! It looks like it's barely okay 👍 (Original) 駐車場は本丸の南側と西側(トイレあり)に１ヶ所ずつ。 階段部などコンクリートでかためられているのがザンネン。城跡というよりは史跡公園の印象が強い。 大井川のものを使った丸石の壁面は独特。これまた仕方がないのだろうが繋ぎにコンクリート使用されて ザンネン。 遺構は分かりやすい。二の丸があったであろう場所は広域に保存されているのか？すすきのが広がっていた。少し南側に行けば当時の外堀の遺構も分かりやすい。かつての街道も現在も一般自動車道になっていて面白い。程よく遺構が残されているので当時をイメージしながらゆっくり歩いてみたい！ すぐ目の前は大型船も往来可能な入江？湊？だったのがおよそ信じ難い。現在の海岸線まで結構ありますよ！埋め立てたエリアもあったにせよ地震って恐いですね。。 目の先の「高天神城」南側も同じく入江があったそうです。物資供給や交易でも多いに役立ったでしょうし自然地形を利用した難攻不落城にもなったでしょう。 とても静かな町にありクルマもご近所さん方もほとんど見かけません。 本丸から見える遠州灘の景色は素晴らしくベンチなどはありませんが 石垣に座らせてもらってお弁当とかいいかも。そういう光景は見たコトないですが😅　(食事も城跡で食べたいな！)って人もいるのでは？ ギリ大丈夫そうですが👍

(Translated by Google) In 1578, Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered his vassal Osuka Yasutaka (the first lord of the castle) to build Yokosuka Castle as a base for the capture of Takatenjin Castle. In 1581, Takatenjin Castle fell and was abandoned, and Yokosuka Castle was positioned as a base for southern Enshu. The stone walls made of pebbles were unusual and interesting. (Original) 天正6年（1578年）徳川家康は家臣の大須賀康高（初代城主）に命じて高天神城攻略の拠点として横須賀城を築かせました。天正9年（1581年）高天神城は落城と共に廃城となり、横須賀城が遠州南部の拠点として位置づけられました。 玉砂利で出来た石垣が珍しく面白かったです。

(Translated by Google) Although there is no castle tower or turret, I still think it's worth visiting this castle ruins if you have the chance. It's said to be a castle built by Ieyasu in preparation for his battle against the Takeda clan. The stone walls are very distinctive and you won't see them anywhere else. What's the stone stacking method called? Is it round stone stacking or boulder stacking? I've seen many stone walls, but I've never seen one that uses round stones so thoroughly. A normal stone wall would use "sanki-zumi" (stone stacking), where larger stones are stacked alternately to reinforce the corners, but here all we have are round stones, so the corners are rounded. The stone material is the same as other castles, with most being metamorphic rock. I think the rest is andesite and other rocks. (Original) 天守閣や櫓などはありませんが、この城跡は機会があるなら訪問した方がいいと思います。 家康が武田家と戦うために整備した城と紹介されてます。それにしても他所では見られない特徴的な石垣です。 積み方はなんというのでしょうか？丸石積みとか、玉石積みとかでしょうか？？ たくさんの石垣を見てきましたが、ここまで徹底して丸石を使っているものはありません。 そのため、普通の石垣なら隅の補強のため大きめの石を交互に積む「算木積み」をするのですが、ここでは丸石しかないので丸みのあるコーナーとなっています。 石材は他の城と同じで、変成岩が多いです。ほかは安山岩などだと思います。

(Translated by Google) This is the ruins of a castle. I searched for tourist spots near Ecopa Arena, and visited it because I had time. It is famous for its stone walls made of river stones, and they were indeed very beautiful. I like complex structures, so it gave me goosebumps. I wonder about people who don't like them. (Original) 城趾です。エコパアリーナ近くの観光地を検索し、時間があったので訪れました。川の石で作られた石垣が有名だそうで、実際とても素晴らしかったです。集合体が好きなのでゾワっとしました。苦手な人は…どうでしょう😅

(Translated by Google) It seems that the current castle ruins are the result of local residents' opposition to the development of the main keep into residential land. It was a key point for maritime traffic at Yokosuka Port and continued to thrive until it was abandoned after the Meiji Restoration. There is a free parking lot right in front of the castle. It seems that a large part of the land leading up to the sea has been reclaimed. I wonder what it looked like when the four-story castle tower was still standing. It is characterized by its two main gates and stone walls made of round stones from the river. Some of the stone walls appear to be reinforced with concrete. (Original) 本丸が宅地開発されるのを地元の方が反対して現在の城跡があるようです。横須賀湊の海上交通の要所で明治維新後に廃城になるまで継続、栄えた場所。城のすぐ前に無料駐車場あります。海まではだいぶ埋め立てられたようです。4層の天守がある時の姿はどうだったのか。大手門が2つある両頭城、川の丸石による石垣など特徴的。石垣は一部コンクリで固められてるよう

(Translated by Google) I went with my grandson, who loves Thomas. It's rare for adults to go on a trip alone, so we enjoyed learning about railways other than Thomas and feeling nostalgic. There was a mini steam locomotive available for a fee, as well as a free mini steam locomotive (which you can back up to), and the turntable Thomas was very popular. It seems there's parking nearby when you ride Thomas, which is convenient for families with small children. The concession stand had a wide selection of items, and the ekiben (boxed lunches) served on the train included local specialties, which was great. Limited edition Thomas merchandise was available for purchase on board, and PayPay was accepted. I got it. Ice cream is cash only. The wooden Thomas train play area was very popular, with kids constantly playing there. Even though there was a Plarail train behind it, the wooden one was more popular. It seems there were limited edition gachapon machines. There was also a rest area. I rode the Thomas train to Kawane Onsen Station, and at a station along the way, a fellow train stopped, which seemed like a popular photo spot and was quite crowded. The impressive rocking and sound were a joy. There was no air conditioning, so I had to use a fan and open the windows, which can be tough on hot summer days. (Original) トーマスが好きな孫と一緒に伺いました なかなか大人だけでは行かないので、トーマス以外の鉄道に関する情報が得られたり懐かしい感じがしたりと大人も楽しめました 有料で乗れるミニSL、無料のミニSL（バックして戻る）等あり、回転台でトーマスが回る等大人気でした トーマスに乗ると駐車場も近くに停められるようで、小さい子供がいる家族には助かります 売店も沢山の品物があり、電車の中で食べられる駅弁も地元の名品が入っていたりして良かったです 限定トーマスを車内でも購入でき、ペイペイが使用できました アイスクリームは現金のみです 木でできているトーマスのレールの遊ぶ場所は人気が高くて、常に子供達がたわむれていました その奥にプラレールがあるのに、木の方が人気でした ガチャガチャも限定があるようです 休憩スペースもありました トーマス号に乗り川根温泉駅まで行くのですが、途中の駅にて仲間の電車が停まっていてそこが写真スポットのようでなかなかの混雑です 迫力満点の揺れと音で楽しめました クーラーはなくて扇風機と窓を開けるという感じなので、夏や暑い日は厳しいですね

Very beautiful area. Make sure to check their website for train times and plan accordingly. Highly recommend the train though!

(Translated by Google) I just happened to drop by Kawane Onsen ♨. The spring water is good and the parking is free. And you can see Thomas coming from the bath. I wasn't that interested, but when I heard the whistle, I was so excited ⤴️ヽ(｀▽´)/♡ I screamed. (lol) Thomas~~~~~♥ I was waving my hands all over the place 👏 It's the best~~~~~✨️✨️✨️ I thought I was just accompanying my child, but it seems I've grown to like him too. Please let him run for a long, long time. Thank you very much.

(Translated by Google) I went there on March 29, 2025 I thought it was too early because the cherry blossoms in the neighborhood were only 30% in bloom, but they were in full bloom✨ It was my first time there, and the cherry blossom tunnel was shorter than I expected The parking lot was nearby, and they sold Kawane tea and dried shiitake mushrooms There were snacks and ramen shops where you could eat It was cold, so I only stayed for about 30 minutes, but if it had been warmer, I think it would have been nice to take a walk (˶ᐢωᐢ˶) (Original) ２０２５年３月２９日行きました 近所はまだまだ３部咲きで早いかなぁと思いましたが、満開でした✨ 初めて行きましたが、思ってたより短い桜トンネルでした 駐車場も近く、川根茶や干し椎茸が売られていました 軽食や、ラーメン屋もあり食事も出来ます 寒かったので滞在時間は３０分くらいでしたが、暖かかったら散歩したりも良かったかなぁと思いました(˶ᐢωᐢ˶)

(Translated by Google) The branches are sticking out and look like a tunnel, so it's quite a sight to see. Just driving under the cherry blossom tunnel is enough to make you feel spring. (Original) 枝がせりだしトンネルのようになっているので、見ごたえありますね。 桜トンネルの下を車で走り抜けるだけでも充分、春を感じます。

(Translated by Google) I went on March 31st (Monday) There were times when it was lightly cloudy and there was a light rain, but I was very satisfied with the fact that the flowers were almost in full bloom. The parking lot is not large, but I got in easily. There are a few places where you can eat, but there are. (Original) 3/31（月）に行きました 薄曇りで小雨がぱらついた時も有りましたが、ほぼ満開の状況で大満足でした 駐車場は広く有りませんが、すんなり入れました 食事が出来る処は、少ないですが有りました

(Translated by Google) It was my first time going there, and the cherry blossoms were spectacular. We are looking forward to seeing you again next year. (Original) 初めて行きましたが圧巻の桜でした。 また来年楽しみにしております。

(Translated by Google) I visited on April 6th. The cherry blossoms in the Sakura Tunnel and on the Ieyama River bank were in full bloom. It just so happened that the Oigawa Railway EL was passing by, so I excitedly pressed the shutter. The pale pink cherry blossom tunnel made me lose track of time. The cherry blossoms on the south bank of the Ieyama River are within reach, so this is a recommended course that allows you to feel closer to the cherry blossoms. (Original) 4月6日に訪問しました 桜トンネルと家山川護岸の桜は満開でした 折しも大井川鉄道のＥＬの通過時刻であり、ワクワクしながらシャッターを押しました 淡いピンクの桜トンネルは、時間を忘れてしまいそうでした 家山川南護岸の桜は手が届く位置にあり、より身近に桜を感じることができる、おすすめのコースです

(Translated by Google) I usually passed by the large signboard, but when I stopped by to see Kataba no Ashi, I decided to take a look. As expected from a historic Sanmon gate, it was under construction. I wonder if the well with the hanging pot was used until recently? If you look closely, you'll see a motor pump installed. (Original) 普段から大きな看板を横目に通りすぎていたが、片葉の葦を観に寄ったタイミングで拝観させていただいた。 歴史のある山門らしく、工事中であった。 つるべのある井戸は、最近まで使われていたのであろうか？良く見ると、モーターポンプが設置されていた。

(Translated by Google) I came here on a leisurely bicycle trip around Kikugawa. It is pronounced Oshokyoin. It is a Jodo sect temple. The temple gate was under construction! I was thinking, "I can't get in, I can't get in," when I saw a car going uphill, so I followed it and was able to get in! The construction cost of the temple gate is about 490 million yen. It is a nationally designated important cultural property, and if you donate, your name will be written on the temple gate. There is a "pebbles" that appears in the lyrics of the national anthem "Kimigayo." It is a rare stone that is a power stone and is said to improve luck and ward off evil spirits. There is a long-leafed plant called "Ryūsetsuran" that blooms once every 60 years. It was so strange that I was shocked. There is also an interesting Jizo called "Drinking Jizo." There are many empty sake jars, and it is a Jizo who is quite a drunkard. (Original) ぶらり菊川自転車旅で来ました。 應聲教院（おうしょうきょういん）と読みます。浄土宗のお寺です。 山門が工事中でした！ 「ムリか〜、入れないか〜」と思ってたら車が上り坂を上がって行ったのでついてったら入れました！ 山門の工事費は約4億9千万円かかるそうです 国指定重要文化財で寄付すれば山門に名前が明記されます。 国歌「君が代」の歌詞に出てくる「さざれ石」があります。珍しい石でパワーストーンなので運気を高め邪気を払ってくれるそうです。 60年に1度咲く花「龍舌蘭」という長い葉の植物があります。奇妙すぎて「ギョッ」としました。 他にも「呑んべい地蔵」というおもしろい地蔵があります。空の酒壺がたくさんあり相当な飲んだくれ地蔵です。

(Translated by Google) This Jodo sect temple was founded in 855 during the Heian period, and is also known as the inner temple of Sakuragaike. It was originally a Tendai sect, but Honen Shonin converted it to the Jodo sect. It is said to have a miraculous power to bring good luck, warding off evil spirits, good health, and fulfillment of wishes. The Sanmon Gate is a heavy vermilion-painted eight-legged gate and is a nationally important cultural property. As you can see in the photo, the ceiling painting of the bell tower is also stunning. There are many unique statues to please your eyes, such as frog statues that look like guardian dogs, Nonbe Jizo statues, kappas, and Manneken Pis statues. (Original) 平安時代の855年に創建された浄土宗の寺院で、桜ヶ池の奥の院としても知られています。もとは天台宗でしたが法然上人が浄土宗に改宗しました。開運厄除け、無病息災、心願成就に霊験あらたかとされています。 山門は重厚な朱塗りの八脚門であり、国の重要文化財です。写真のように鐘楼の天井画も見事です。 狛犬のようなカエル像、のんべえ地蔵、カッパ、小便小僧等、数々のユニークな像が目を楽しませてくれます。

(Translated by Google) The grounds are dotted with unique statues, such as the Nombei Jizo, the Peen Piss Boy, and the stone frog statue. The robot priest appears to have retired. (Original) 境内には、呑んべい地蔵や小便小坊主、カエルの石像など、ユニークな像が点在しています。 ロボット和尚は引退した様子。

(Translated by Google) I couldn't believe that Jizo Jizo was a stranger, and I wanted to drink with him. Also, the yellow leaves of the ginkgo were nice. (Original) 呑んべい地蔵が他人と思えず、お地蔵さんと一緒に呑みたくなりました。 あと、銀杏の黄葉具合も良かったです。

(Translated by Google) Although it is a temple of the Jodo sect, it has a distinctive name, ``Oseikyoin.'' The first thing that catches your eye is the Sanmon Gate, which is located at the top of a steep staircase from the road.It is a magnificent vermilion gate that has been designated as a national important cultural property. It is said to be one of the most famous buildings in the Tokai region. The precincts are dotted with not only the bell tower, which has its origins, but also various Buddhist objects (Tea Jizo and Manneken Pis), so I think it's a good place to take a leisurely visit. Personally, I liked that the stone Buddha on the approach to the shrine looked like Dosojin. (Original) 浄土宗の寺院ですが「応声教院」と名前に特徴があります。 道路から急な階段を登った先にある山門が先ず目に入ってきますが、国の重要文化財にも指定されている朱色の立派な門です。東海地方随一と言われている名建築です。 境内には由来のある「鐘楼」だけでなく、様々な仏教オブジェ(お茶地蔵や小便小僧)が点在しておりゆっくりと訪問するには良いと思います。個人的には参道の石仏が道祖神っぽくて良かったです。

(Translated by Google) It was founded in 855 by Ambassador Jikaku, a famous monk from Mt. Hiei, as Tendai Sect's Tengaku-in temple, which was an imperial shrine of Emperor Montoku. Later, Honen Shonin, who founded the Jodo sect, enshrined Habuki Nyorai, and the temple was renamed the Jodo sect Ouseikyoin, which remains to this day. It is said that Honen Shonin's teacher, Koen Ajari, became the dragon god of Sakuragaike in 1169, praying for the appearance of Maitreya Bodhisattva for the sake of the salvation of sentient beings. Later, Honen Shonin stopped by on his way back from visiting Sakuragaike, where he wanted to be a mentor, prayed for the soul of his mentor, and converted, which is why it became Sakuragaike Okunoin, the family place of Emperor En Ajari. Chion-in temple in Kyoto, also known as the Omi Zodiac Tatsumi Sacred Site, the temple includes a dragon scale believed to be part of the body of Emperor En-Ajari, an auspicious book containing the biographies of Emperor En-Ajari and Honen Shonin, and a statue of Amitabha Nyorai. It contains many treasures related to the past. Inside the precincts, there is a bell tower, Aizen Myoo-do, Mizuko Jizo Bodhi-sho, Mizuko Jizo stone Buddha donated from China, Nonbee Jizo-do, etc. Among them, there is a vermilion-painted Sanmon gate that towers at the top of the stone steps. (National Important Cultural Property) enhances the atmosphere of the temple. (Original) 比叡山の名僧慈覚大使により斉衝2年(855年)、文徳天皇の勅願所、天台宗天岳院として創建。その後、浄土宗を開宗した法然上人が歯吹如来を安置し、浄土宗応声教院と改名され、現在に至っている。 法然上人の恩師である皇円阿闍梨は、嘉応元年(1169年)衆生済度のため弥勒菩薩の出現を願って、桜ヶ池の竜神になったと伝えられている。後に法然上人が恩師をしたい桜ヶ池を訪れた帰途に立ち寄り、恩師の冥福を祈り改宗したことが、皇円阿闍梨の菩提所、桜ヶ池奥の院となった由縁。京都知恩院末寺、近江十二支辰巳霊場としても知られ、皇円阿闍梨の御片身とされる竜のうろこ、皇円阿闍梨と法然上人の伝記が記された縁起書、阿弥陀如来像など院ゆかりの宝物が数多く収められている。 境内には鐘楼堂、藍染明王堂、水子地蔵菩提所、中国から寄贈された水子地蔵石仏、のんべえ地蔵堂などが建てられており、なかでも石段を上がったところにそびえ立つ朱塗りの山門（国の重要文化財）が院風を高らしめている。

(Translated by Google) The coast continues to look like this around here. The wind was so strong that it seemed like it would blow my bike away. Runners were running along the embankment above. (Original) この辺りはずーっとこんな感じの海岸が続きます。自転車とか吹っ飛ばされそうなくらい風が強い。上の堤防をランナーがトッテッテと走る程度。

(Translated by Google) There isn't much going on, but there is a free parking lot, so it's a good place to take a walk. (Original) 何かあるわけではないですが、無料の駐車場があるので、お散歩するには良い場所です。

(Translated by Google) In the shallows, the waves were calm and the water was clean, so some people were swimming. The unusually shaped bridge serves as a bicycle path, and pedestrians can also climb it. The scenery is beautiful. (Original) 浅瀬のところは波も穏やかで水も綺麗だったので、泳いだりしてる人もいました。変わった形の橋は自転車道になってて、歩行者も登れます。景色が綺麗。

(Translated by Google) Be careful as it's windy but the views are great. (Original) 風が強いので気をつけて 見晴らしは良い所です。

(Translated by Google) The beach was not wide, but full of sand. On the day I visited, it was very windy and there were white waves. There was a baseball field nearby, and there was also a small public restroom. It has a wide coastline. The sunset was also beautiful. (Original) 砂浜も広くというより、砂がいっぱいの海岸でした。訪れた日は、とても風が強く白波でした。近くに野球場等もあり、小さいですが公衆トイレもありました。 広い海岸線です。夕陽も綺麗でした。

I would say its for kids and alot of birds are there and you can feed them easily,you have to buy everything to feed birds.its about 100 yen /200yen

If you love birds, you'll love this place! I easily spent over 2 hours here. You can feed the birds, but the sale of food ends at 3:30 PM, so be sure to arrive before that. At 3:30 PM, the birds will get fed, so you won't be able to go close to them while they eat, but it is adorable to see them all munching down on their meal. There are bird shows as well, but the outdoor show is only once per day. Highly recommend if you love birds!

There are lots of different kids of birds walking around in the place. You can feed most of them too. It was my first time to see flamingos and toucans so up close. (You know in the zoo, they're far away form you.) When I brought my 3yo, flamingos looked down on her and she got really upset. So, it might be more enjoyable for kids who are older than elementary school age. This time, my kids were 8yo and 10yo, so they had no problem. There are various activities available, such as holding cute ducks and penguins. You can also put several different kids of owls on your arms. Thankfully, they have a variety of menu at the cafeteria. They even have hamburgers, and they were pretty good. My little one went with something unique that has a shape of a bird nest. She was really happy. It's a bit far from the nearest station, so we took a taxi on our way there from Kakegawa station. We wanted to explore a bit, so we walked back to the station. We will definitely go back again.

Another beautiful city in Japan! My day at this bird park is unforgettable ❤️ I saw different varieties of birds for the first time here !! Most birds aren’t even caged so taking pictures and feeding them was so much fun 🤩

I came here for the first time in 10 years! I enjoyed interacting with birds as usual! This is the place where you can see many owls, penguin shows, and flamingos up close without fences and more! This time, I paid 500 yen separately and experienced doctor fish! Both children and adults can enjoy feeding!

Lovely little zoo, so many beautiful and friendly birds. Bring some cash so you can get food to feed them. The flowers in the seating area were also beautiful.

This is a great place to visit, especially with kids! A variety of birds on display, many of which you can touch, pet and feed. It's an assault on the senses, especially the smell, but the place is quite clean and constantly being scrubbed -- especially the bird areas. The suspended flower garden entrance is enchanting, and the attached restaurant section is good for a bite or two. You get a chance to buy bird-related souvenirs on your way out. You can easily walk from the Kakegawa Station, and it's efinitely worth checking out.

Very peaceful place to visit, small, but beautiful. I really love that place. I’m not sure, but I hear someday something like: “your wishes can come true going there”.

(Translated by Google) I visited on a solo trip. Ever since I saw Tsurube-san visit there on a TV program, it was a place I'd always wanted to go. This time, right after visiting Kotonoha Hachiman-gu Shrine, something very happy happened, perhaps by coincidence, and I'd like to go back again someday to give thanks. After getting off the Shinkansen, it's about a 20-minute bus ride from Kakegawa Station. (※The number of buses is very low, about once every two hours, so it's essential to do some research beforehand! If you get off at the "Kotonomama Hachiman Shrine" bus stop, it's right in front of you. It was a weekday after Golden Week, so it was pretty empty and I was able to take my time worshiping. As this shrine also appears in The Pillow Book, the grounds have a very historic feel to them. Locals are visiting the shrine while out for a walk, and there are rice fields right in front of you, giving the grounds a refreshing atmosphere. The main shrine and main hall are across the road, but you should first worship at the main hall. There are "Fukunokami" (gifts of good fortune) available at the shrine office, so I took one. When I visited, the front staircase leading to the main hall was undergoing construction due to deterioration;; After worshiping at the main hall, the sacred cedar tree, and the rest of the shrine, I crossed the footbridge and headed to the main hall. To the shrine. Counting from the main shrine entrance, we climbed 272 steps on a mountain path. The dirt was rough and each step was narrow, so I recommend wearing sneakers! I'm used to climbing uphill stairs, and I reached the shrine in about 6-7 minutes. At the "Fukunokami" shrine, we polished the stones and made a wish. Maybe because everyone was polishing them, all the white stones were shiny. We returned to the main shrine and went to the dragon god's shrine behind it. On the way, we passed by the tea fields, and went down the stairs to Sakasakawa and Ryujin Shrine, where we paid our respects. We returned to the main shrine and placed our hands on a large camphor tree to pay our respects. The fresh greenery in the shrine grounds was so beautiful, and we felt a very warm power. (Original) ひとり旅で訪れました。 鶴瓶さんが番組で訪れていたのを見てから、ずっと行ってみたいなぁと思う場所でした。 今回、事任八幡宮に参拝直後に、たまたまかもしれませんが、すごく嬉しいことがあり、またいつかお礼参りに行きたいです。 新幹線を降りて、掛川駅から路線バスで20分くらい。(※バスの本数がかなり少なく、2時間に1本くらいしかないので事前リサーチ必須！「ことのまま八幡宮」バス停で降りたら目の前です。 GW明けの平日だったのでかなり空いており、ゆっくり参拝出来ました。 枕草子にも出てくる神社ということもあり、境内はとても歴史を感じます。 地元の方が散歩ついでに参拝していたり、目の前は田んぼで、清々しい雰囲気の境内です。 道路を挟んで本宮と本殿がありますが、まず最初に本殿で参拝。 社務所に「ふくのかみ」が用意されてるので、1枚いただきます。 訪れた時はちょうど本殿に繋がる正面階段が老朽化で工事中でした;; 本殿、ご神木杉などすべて参拝して、歩道橋を渡って本宮へ。 本宮入り口から数えて272段、山道の階段をひたすら登ります。 途中土で足場が悪かったり、一段一段が狭かったりするので、スニーカーがおすすめです！ 普段から坂道階段は慣れている私(30代女)で、お社まで一気に登って大体6～7分で着きました。 先ほどの「ふくのかみ」で願いをこめて石を磨きます。皆さんが磨いているからか、白い石はどれもピカピカ。 本殿に戻り、裏手にある龍神様をお社へ。 途中、茶畑の横を通って、階段を降りた先に逆川と龍神社があり、参拝。 再び本殿の方へ戻り、大きなクスノキに手を当てて参拝。境内の新緑がすごく綺麗で、なんだからすごく暖かみのあるパワーを感じました。

(Translated by Google) A famous shrine. I visited for the first time in a while. The large tree seemed to radiate divine energy. I wondered if it was really that big? I also like Ryujin Shrine along the river behind it. The sound of the stream is soothing. Thank you. It seems that Ere Maria and the Yamakawa couple will be giving a lecture in November 2026. (Original) 有名神社。 久々訪れました。 大きな木が神気を発してるようで〜 こんなに大きかったかなぁ？と。 裏側の川沿い龍神社も好きです。せせらぎが心地よい。 ありがとうございます。 2026年11月にエレマリアさんと山川夫妻の講演会があるようです。

(Translated by Google) I was deeply moved by meeting the beautiful goddess (enshrined deity: Kinonomachihime-no-Mikoto). The sacred trees (large camphor tree, large cedar) also have incredible power! If you climb a little way up the hill from the worship hall, you'll find the "God of Bonding"...and since there aren't many people here, the energy was incredible. And the main shrine has even stronger energy and is amazing!! (There were also few people there.) This is an amazing shrine⛩️ that I'd love to visit again soon. (Original) 美しい女神さま(祭神 己等乃麻知媛命)に会えて大感動でした。 ご神木たち(大楠､大杉)もすごいパワーです！ 拝殿から少し小山の上まで登ると『結びの神さま』がいらっしゃって⋯こちらは人がほとんど来ないのですごいエネルギーでした。 そして本宮はさらにさらに強いエネルギーで最高です!!(こちらも人は少なかった) またすぐにでも行きたい素晴らしい神社⛩️です。

(Translated by Google) I visited here a few years ago and decided to go back again. Many of the wishes I made a few years ago have essentially come true, so I believe it's beneficial. The large camphor trees and cedars are truly impressive, and looking at them cleanses the soul. I crossed the road and climbed up to the shrine, but I had completely forgotten that one way to pray is to polish the stones with paper or cloth, so I only managed to polish three with the cloth I had on hand. (I think I made the same mistake last time.) I think it's best to stop by the place where you receive talismans first and get a cloth there. (Original) 数年前に訪問し、再度訪問しました。数年前にお願いした事は実質的にはかなり叶っている為ご利益はあると思っています。 大きな楠、杉はとても見応えがあり、見ると心が洗われます。 道路を渡り登った先の社ですが、紙や布で石を磨く参拝方法があるのを完全に失念しており、何とか手持ちの布で三つ磨けました。(前回も同じ失敗をしていた気がします) 先に御札を頂く所に寄って布を頂くのが良いかと思います。

(Translated by Google) Visited on September 27, 2025. The large camphor tree in the grounds was an impressive power spot🩷❤️ I was moved. The shrine itself had a very good energy flowing through it, which was nice. I visited before a live performance, so I was able to get some energy from it and it was a shrine that made me want to visit again⛩️ (Original) 2025.9.27 参拝。　境内にある大楠が圧巻のパワースポットでした🩷❤️ 感動しました。　神社自体がとてもいい気が流れていてよかったです。　ライブ前に伺ったのでパワーいただけてもう一度参拝したいと思えた神社でした⛩️

(Translated by Google) It's a place I love and go to often. The main shrine is on the mountain across the road. I take a white cloth from the shrine office to the main shrine and polish three stones. The first is for the gods. The second is for everyone. The third is for myself. After polishing the stones, I return them to where I found them. It's said that if you take the polished white cloth home and wipe the entrance with it, it will bring good fortune. Sometimes the goshuin stamps I get are nice and sometimes not, which can be a bit disappointing... (Original) 大好きな場所で、よく行きます。 本宮が道を渡った山の上にあります。 本宮には、社務所にある白い布を持って行き、3つの石を磨く。一つ目は、神様のため。二つ目は、みんなのため。三つ目は、自分のために。 磨いた石は、あった場所へ戻す。 磨いた白い布は、持ち帰り、玄関を拭くと、ご利益があるとか。 御朱印が素敵な時とそうじゃない時があって、ちょっと残念な時があります…

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit even though I'm local. Admission is also free. Paintings and ceramics are on display. It was very good. On the way home, I found a souvenir from Shiseido Parlor, so I bought it. (Original) 地元にありながら初めてお邪魔しました。 入場料も無料です。 絵画や陶芸品などが展示してあります。 とても良かったです。 帰りに資生堂パーラーのお土産があったので買ってしまいました。

(Translated by Google) I arrived by taxi from Kakegawa Station. It takes about 20 minutes on foot. Sculptures dotted around the spacious grounds, an art house and museum housed in a modern building. I was able to see the Japanese paintings and modern crafts in the collection up close. The museum exhibits Shiseido's past cosmetics and advertisements, which are interesting and worth seeing. We bought postcards and oil absorbing paper at the museum shop and had a luxurious time. (Original) 掛川駅前からタクシーで到着した。徒歩だと20分程。広々とした敷地に点在する彫刻作品、モダンな建物のアートハウスと資料館。収蔵されている日本画、現代工芸品を間近で見る事が出来た。資料館では資生堂の歴代化粧品や広告等、興味深く見応えがある。ミュージアムショップで、ポストカードや油取り紙を買い、ちょっと贅沢な時間を過ごしました。

(Translated by Google) I was surprised that admission was free. I happened to arrive just as the curator was giving a presentation, and he was very knowledgeable about the exhibits and the artists, so he gave a lively explanation. It was a memorable experience. I also thoroughly enjoyed Yoshio Taniguchi's architecture. The view from the window was also great. It's only open on certain days of the week, so it's best to keep that in mind when you visit. (Original) 入場無料にも驚きました。ちょうど学芸員の方の説明の時間に行き合わせ展示品、作家の方を詳しくご存知で生き生きとした解説をしていただきました。心に残る時間を過ごせました。谷口吉生建築も堪能。窓からの眺めも良かったです。 開いている曜日が限定されているので気をつけて行かれるといいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It is located to the west of Kakegawa Station in Shizuoka Prefecture. It is located close to Shiseido's Kakegawa factory, which is famous for cosmetics and other products. In recent years, the museum has often been closed, but I went there because my day off and the opening date matched. It's quite far from Kakegawa Station, but it's a walk. If you walk along the railroad tracks from the station, you won't find the atmosphere of a factory site, and you will see a museum, an art house, and several objects sitting quietly in the park. The museum was closed this time, so we entered the Auto House and took a walk around it. At the art house, for a limited time, there was an exhibition of various works that would decorate the dining and tea tables. In addition to individual items being displayed, there were also places where items such as vessels were placed and displayed to suit each situation. Personally, I was impressed by the fact that the corners, which would normally be rounded, were rounded. It is a vase with a bamboo insect cage and white and transparent parts that seem to grow upwards. There were also other items with extremely detailed workmanship and unique shapes, but these two items stood out to me this time. There is a parking lot. I think there was also a bicycle parking lot. I think it's better to check the opening dates in advance. (Original) 静岡県掛川駅の西の方にあります。化粧品などで有名な資生堂の掛川工場にほど近いところにあります。近年閉館することも多かったのですが、自分の休みと開館日の都合が合ったので行ってきました。掛川駅から結構遠いのですが歩きです。駅方面から線路沿いに歩いてたどり着くと工場の敷地の雰囲気はなく、公園に静かに佇む資料館とアートハウス、いくつかのオブジェが見えてきます。今回資料館はお休みでしたのでオートハウスへの入館と周りの散策です。アートハウスでは期間限定で食事の席、お茶の席を彩る様々な作品などの展示がありました。単品での展示の他、それぞれのシチュエーションを見立てて器などを配置して展示してあるところもありました。個人的に印象的だったのは食事やお茶の席とは離れますが、通常角になる部分を丸く加工した？竹細工の虫籠と、白い部分と透き通ったような部分とが上の方に伸び上がっていくような感じの花器です。他にも実に細やかな細工を施したものや特徴的なフォルムを持った物もありましたが今回はその2点が印象的でした。駐車場ばあります。駐輪場もあったように思います。開館日は事前に確認された方が良いかと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's free and there are many high-quality paintings, ceramics, and lacquerware on display, making it a very satisfying experience. It's difficult to explain as photography isn't allowed, but I recommend visiting the Shiseido Corporate Museum as well as anyone interested in paintings and art, or anyone who feels nostalgic for old Shiseido commercials. It seems to be closed on Sundays, so please check the opening days before you go. (Original) 無料でとても上質な沢山の絵画や陶芸作品　漆器の展示がありたいへん満足できる内容です。 写真の撮影が出来ないため説明が難しいですが資生堂企業資料館と併せて絵画や芸術に興味がある方やかつての資生堂のＣＭに懐かしさを感じる方なら一度行ってみる事をお勧めします。 日曜日はお休みのようですので開館日を確認して行ってくださいね。

(Translated by Google) I had seen the Shiseido Art House along the Shinkansen in Kakegawa and had been curious about it, so I decided to go. Even though admission is free, the building and exhibits are very sophisticated and a real treat for the eyes. You can enjoy a wide range of exhibits, from cosmetic design and advertisements to paintings and sculptures. The space is quiet and calm, so you can take your time exploring. It's truly a luxury to be able to see so much for free! (Original) 掛川の新幹線沿いで見かけて気になっていた資生堂アートハウスに行ってみました。入場無料なのに建物も展示もすごく洗練されていて、目の保養になりました。化粧品のデザインや広告、絵画や彫刻まで幅広く楽しめます。静かで落ち着いた空間なので、ゆっくり見学できるのも◎。無料でこれだけ見られるのは本当に贅沢です！

(Translated by Google) It was such a wonderful collection of perfume bottles that I couldn't believe that admission was free. The art house itself is also made of glass, giving it a very open feel. It's worth it to have been vaccinated. I bought Kakegawa tea eau de toilette, which is limited to Art House. (Original) 入館料が無料ととても思えない素晴らしい香水瓶のコレクションでした。アートハウス自体もガラス張りでとても開放感があります。ワクチンを打ってきたかいがありました。アートハウス限定の掛川茶のオードトワレを買いました。

Nice place for family outing

It's very quiet and peaceful place, every night it turns into light show with entrance fee ( $10)

I love the sentou (public hot bath) of this hotel. Lots of facilities, good for spending holidays with your family.

It is a small water park and the price is a little expensive but the staff is great and very friendly. We spent a wonderful day!

Excellent place lots of fun and great for children

Very nice resort with lots of activities to be done.

Great wonderful

it's not a huge place but able to spend an hour or two here. a huge indoor flower greenhouse, where there's a lot of flowers planted, very colourful. although it's quite humid and slippery inside, be careful when you walk and while taking photos. there's also an area for ducks, a bit smelly but it's expected, ducks were very cute there. another highlight was the owl, they didn't fall asleep when i visited so i was able to watch them (and they watch me). here's great for photos afterall and good for kids to come and learn about flowers and birds. a pity that the day i visited was very rainy so wasn't able to go out to the pond and look further. anyway happy experience.

Lovely place to visit. It's so beautiful. You can also get a tour of a historical house hidden in the garden.

(Translated by Google) It was announced that the gardens will close on June 22, 2025, so I visited for the first time in a while (June 14). While the irises seemed to have passed their peak, I enjoyed the various kinds of hydrangeas in full bloom. The greenhouses have deteriorated considerably, and there are no more birds of prey, so it was sad to think that they might all be gone. (Original) 2025年6月22日で中締め と発表があり久しぶりに訪問しました（同6月14日）。 花菖蒲はピークを過ぎた感がある一方で様々な種類の紫陽花が見頃で楽しめました。 温室はかなり老朽化が進み、猛禽類もいなくなるなど このまま無くなってしまうのかと思うと寂しい気持ちになりました。

(Translated by Google) Although there are signs of aging everywhere, there are many flower displays, and the greenhouse and outdoor iris garden are worth seeing. The admission fee of 1000 yen is a bit expensive compared to nearby facilities, but it's not too bad as it's not crowded and you can walk around at your own pace. The prices of the drinks on sale are very reasonable. (Original) 至る所に経年劣化の痕跡があるものの、花の展示は多く、温室と屋外の菖蒲園は見応えがある。 1000円という入場料は近くの施設と比べると割高感もないわけではないが混雑はなく、ゆっくりと回れるため、悪くない。 販売している飲料の価格は大変良心的。

(Translated by Google) I've been touring the gardens for many years and have already passed through the main house, but this time I went around the whole house, including the tatami room, as it may be the last time it will be open to the public. There were many interesting things, and I wished I had seen the interior sooner. (Original) 長年庭園をまわり、母屋は通り抜けてしまっていましたが、公開がラストになるかもしれないとのことで、今回は、お座敷まで全部 まわりました。 興味深いものがたくさんあり、もっと早く 室内も見ておきたかったな、と思いました。

(Translated by Google) The hydrangeas and irises were so beautiful and soothing! The building in the back, which may have been a miso storehouse, is very tasteful, and even though I visited in May, it felt like early summer, but inside the building it was cool and refreshing, which was very pleasant! (Original) 紫陽花と菖蒲がとても美しく、癒されました！奥にある、元味噌蔵？の建物は風情があり、5月なのに初夏の陽気のような日に訪問しましたが、建物内はひんやりと涼しくとても気持ちよかったです！

(Translated by Google) I visited around 10am on Saturday, May 16th. There were few customers, so I was able to look around at my leisure. It was disappointing that there were no birds such as owls, and no shop. (Original) 5月16日土曜日の10時頃訪問。 お客さんが少なく、ゆっくり見ることができました。 フクロウ等の鳥がいなかったり、売店も無かったのが残念でした。

Amazing historical site. Very accessible and has an information plaque beside it

(≧∇≦)b

(Translated by Google) This is the ruins of Yokosuka Castle, which was the base of the Takeda and Tokugawa forces at the end of the Sengoku period. It is said that whoever controls Takatenjin Castle will control Enshu, and it was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in preparation for Takeda Katsuyori's attack on Takatenjin Castle. The stone wall, which was rebuilt with cobblestones, is unique and has an unusual shape, but it is said that stones brought from the lower reaches of the Oi River were used. Due to its location and close proximity to the sea, cobblestones may have been used as part of the stone walls during the Sengoku period. As it is a national historic site, it has been well maintained, and traces of the foundation stones remain. It is said that until the Hoei earthquake, there was an inlet near the castle, and Yokosuka Minato was the base for water transportation. There weren't many people visiting, but since it's one of Tokugawa Ieyasu's precious Hirayama castles and is near Takatenjin Castle, I decided to stop by. It is maintained as a park and has a parking lot. (Original) 戦国時代末期の武田vs徳川の拠点だった横須賀城跡🏯です。高天神城を制するものが遠州を制すと言われ、武田勝頼方の高天神城攻めのために徳川家康が築いたそうです。 丸石を敷き詰めて再建された石垣が特徴的で珍しい形状ですが、大井川下流域から運んだ石を使ったそうです。 場所柄、海も近いので戦国時代当時も石垣の一部に丸石が使われていたのかもしれません。 国史跡だけあって整備されていて礎石の跡も残っています。 宝永の大地震までは、城の近くまで入江があり、その水運の拠点として横須賀湊があったそうです。 訪れる人はあまりいませんでしたが、徳川家康の貴重な平山城の一つで高天神城の近くなので立ち寄ってみました。公園として整備されており、駐車場もあります。

(Translated by Google) When I visited for the first time, I didn't expect it to be this great, so I thought I had to study hard. However, due to the influence of the Taiga drama, there are many out-of-prefecture license plates in the parking lot. When you look into the Crescent Moon Dig, you'll see a large turtle-shaped frog 😹 I didn't have enough time this time to take it easy, so next time I'd like to fully enjoy the town of Osuka. For lunch, we recommend yakisoba (with sauce). (Original) 初めて伺いましたが、こんなに素晴らしいとは思っていなかったなので、しっかし勉強しないといけないと思いました。それにしても大河ドラマの影響大、駐車場には県外ナンバーが多く見受けられます。三日月掘りを覗くと亀の大きなカエルがいますよ😹今回は時間が無くゆっくり出来なかったので、次回は大須賀の町を満喫したいと思います。昼食は､焼きそば(ソース後かけ)がお薦めです。

(Translated by Google) May 2025 I've climbed up to Honmaru from the south side before, but this time I went around the whole castle ruins, going down from Nishinomaru to the west parking lot, passing through the plum garden, and climbing Mt. Matsuo. It was really easy (lol) because I had already stopped by Takatenjin Castle. 2021 As the name suggests, this park is centered around the ruins of Yokosuka Castle. While the castle ruins are well preserved, there are also park elements such as the plum garden on the north side and the vast plaza of Kitanomaru. You can explore all the way around, including Mt. Matsuo on the northeast side. (Original) 2025年5月 南側からお手軽に本丸まで登る事はあったが、今回は久々にプラス西の丸から一旦西側駐車場まで下りて梅園を経由して松尾山も登るという城跡を丸々一周回ってみた。高天神城に立ち寄った後だったので実にお手軽(笑)そこがまたいいんだけど。 2021年 名のごとく横須賀城跡を中心とした公園。しっかりと城跡を残しつつ、北側の梅園や北の丸の広大な広場等公園的要素も。北東側の松尾山まで含めて一周グルりと探索出来る。

(Translated by Google) It's a nice place with a good view. I would like to go again during the plum blossom season. (Original) 見晴らしも良くていい場所です。梅の咲く時期にまた行きたいな。

(Translated by Google) Great location, perfect for a short walk or stroll! (Original) ロケーション抜群、ちょっとした散歩や散策にはもってこいですね！

(Translated by Google) I have something to do nearby and can't make it by the appointed time. I had some time, so I stopped by. There is a shrine where you can see Mt. Fuji if the weather is good. I headed to the parking lot relying on just that simple information. According to the information board, it is a 15 minute walk from the parking lot to the shrine! The road was an unpaved mountain road, so I gave up on visiting the shrine. I want to prepare well and take revenge. There seems to be about 8 parking spaces. There is also what appears to be a parking lot a little further away. An antelope near the private house where we descended the mountain? Encounter! When I photographed it from inside the car, it disappeared into the bushes. (Original) 付近で用事があり、約束の時刻までに 時間があったのでフラッと寄ってみました。 天候が良ければ富士山が見えるらしい、神社がある。と言うだけのテキトーな情報だけを頼りに駐車場へ。 案内板によると駐車場から神社までは徒歩15分！ 道も舗装されていない山道だったので参拝を断念しました。 しっかりと準備してリベンジしたい。 駐車場は8台くらいありそう。 少し離れた場所にも駐車場らしきものあり。 下山した民家近くでカモシカ？に遭遇！ 車内から撮影すると藪の中に去って行きました。

(Translated by Google) There are several climbing routes, but some are very dangerous given the height, as some are narrow along the edges of sheer cliffs, and others are suspension bridge-like roads with cliffs on both sides. (Original) いくつかの登山ルートが有るが、途中落ちたらひとたまりもない断崖絶壁のフチの細い道や両側崖のつり橋状の道があり、高さの割に非常に危険。

(Translated by Google) This is not about Mt. Ogasa, but it is a place I would like to introduce. The Mt. Ogasa hiking course has many entrances, and one of them is the one near the Kamiitazawa exit, which is accessed from the prefectural road Kakegawa Takane Line, where the Kami-Ogasagawa River flows through a tunnel. Is it a natural thing? Was it dug by someone? I don't know much about it because I don't have any information, but it's a view worth seeing. It's not narrow and dark like Don Don Tunnel, so anyone can easily pass through it, and it's short so it's bright with sunlight. It's also close to the city. It would be a waste to leave a property like this anonymous. Kakegawa City. (Original) 小笠山の事では無いのですが紹介したい場所です。 小笠山ハイキングコースには、多くの入口がありますが、その内の一つ県道掛川高根線からアクセスする、上板沢口付近の上小笠川がトンネルの中を流れている場所です。自然の物か？人が掘った物か？情報が無いので、解りかねますが一見の価値が有る景色ですよ。ドンドン隧道の様に狭く暗い状態では無いので、どなたでも気軽にくぐれますし、短いので陽の光で明るいです。市街地からも、近いですしね。 これだけの物件を、無名のままにするのは勿体無いですよ。掛川市さん。

(Translated by Google) It is on the 138th parallel east longitude. The shortest route will take you about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the open observation point. I don't know if you can call it a trailhead, but there are quite a few routes for such a small mountain. Personally, my favorite place is Ogasa Pond from Iriyamase. You can almost go to the top of Ogasa Shrine by car. For those who want to enjoy the form of mountain climbing, I think the route from Fujimidai Cemetery is a good option. I have climbed it many times in the past, and there are many rare bird plants. If the nature of Mt. Ogasa can be maintained in the future, I believe that Kakegawa City will become an important part of nature conservation. (Original) 東経138度線上です。 最短ルートなら開けた展望箇所にも10〜15分程行けます。 登山口と言って良いのかわかりませんが、小さな山にしてはかなりルートがあります。 個人的には入山瀬からの小笠池が好きな場所です。 小笠神社には、ほぼ車で上まで行けるので。 登山という形を楽しみたい方は、富士見台霊園からのルートが良いかと思います。 過去何度も登りましたが、珍しい鳥類植物が多く存在します。 今後も小笠山の自然が維持できるのであれば、掛川市としても貴重な自然保護に当たる存在になるかと思います。

(Translated by Google) It is a large mountain mass that straddles Kakegawa City and Fukuroi City, and there are many trailheads and routes. Ogasayama Shrine is near the summit, and the mountain massif includes Mitsubine, Takatenjinyama, Misawayama, Ryogenjiyama, and Senjugamine, and although there are some dangerous places due to the Cuesta terrain, it is an enjoyable hike. Trees such as ubamegashi (a raw material for binchotan charcoal), konara oak, red oak, rhododendron, Japanese azalea, and mochi azalea, as well as edible mushrooms such as shiitake, oyster mushroom, and wood ear fungus (matsutake also grows here), and many ferns grow here. Cod sprouts and wild yam have decreased dramatically in recent years. There are many types of wild birds, including white-eyes and woodpeckers (red-headed woodpeckers and green woodpeckers), as well as flycatchers that can be seen from May to July. Since there are many Quercus cora, you can also find natural silkworms and beautiful colored cocoons. (Original) 掛川市と袋井市に跨がった広い山塊で、たくさんの登山口と登山ルートがあります。山頂近くに小笠山神社、山塊には三ツ峰・高天神山・三沢山・楞厳寺山・千手ガ峰などもあり、ケスタ地形で所々に危険な場所も有りますが楽しく山歩きできます。ウバメガシ（備長炭の原料）・コナラ・アカガシ・リョウブ・ミヤマツツジ・モチツツジ等の樹木、シイタケ・ヒラタケ・キクラゲ等の食用キノコ（マツタケも生えてます）やシダ類も多く生育しています。タラの芽や自然薯は近年、激減しました。野鳥の種類も多く、メジロやキツツキ（アカゲラ・アオゲラ）等の他に5〜7月にはサンコウチョウも見られます。コナラが多いので天蚕もいて、綺麗な色の繭玉も見つかります。

(Translated by Google) There were cliffs on both sides and many forks, so I felt nervous as I climbed. Children need attention. (Original) 両脇が崖の道や、分岐点が多く、緊張感を持って登りました。子供は、注意が必要です。

(Translated by Google) The summit is simple with just a sign and a trig point, but the view is spectacular. If you are coming from the shrine side, be careful as the path is narrow in some places due to the cliffs. (Original) 山頂は看板と三角点があるだけの簡素なものですが、眺望は素晴らしいです。神社側から来る場合、崖で道が狭い箇所があるので注意です。

(Translated by Google) Located next to the parking lot of Kakegawa City Osuka Branch🚙 I stopped by after visiting the Yokosuka Castle ruins to get a real sense of the old atmosphere, and it has been relocated and preserved just like it was in the past, which is quite rare~🤔 (Original) 掛川市 大須賀支所の駐車場横に立地🚙 昔の風情あり趣き実感、横須賀城址行った後チョッと立ち寄り、良く昔のまま移築保存してありますね、中々珍しい～🤔

(Translated by Google) It's a small building that looks like it's in ruins, but it's a historical building that was relocated from the original building. You can't go inside, but you can park your car in the parking lot of the town hall, so it's easy to tour. (Original) 廃墟かと思うような小さな建物ですが当時の建物を移築した歴史ある建造物です 室内には入れませんが役場の駐車場の車を止めることができるので見学はしやすいです

(Translated by Google) A museum with exhibits about Yayoi Yoshioka, who was from Kakegawa City and made great contributions to the Japanese medical community. Since it is run by Kakegawa City, the admission fee is reasonable at 200 yen per adult. In the back, the restored house where he was born is also on display. (Original) 掛川市出身で日本の医学界に多大な貢献をした吉岡彌生に関する展示をする博物館。掛川市営なので入場料は大人一人２００円とリーズナブル。奥には復元された生家も展示されている。

(Translated by Google) The building is still new and clean. You can't go inside the house where it was born, you can only see it from the front door, so it feels like a dead dragonfly. Since it is a memorial museum, only good things are displayed. There has been a lot of confusion regarding the expulsion from public office. Please take a look and comment. However, if a woman was to become a doctor in that era, I don't think it would have been possible just to be a good person. I looked at the family tree and looked for former Chairman Iwamoto... There were no other visitors besides me, so I was able to relax and enjoy the view. I want Ginko Ogino to watch Zehi too. (Original) 建物はまだ新しくきれいです。生家の中に入れなず、玄関から見るだけなので、尻切れトンボ感。記念館なので、良いことしか展示していません。公職追放の辺り大分お茶を濁してあります。ツッコミつつ見て下さい。ただ、あの時代に女性で医者をやるのであれば、いい人だけでは出来なかっただろうなとも。家系図見て、岩本前理事長を探してしまった…。自分以外来館者が居なかったのでのびのびゆっくり見られました。荻野吟子の方もゼヒ見て欲しい。

(Translated by Google) It's a well-organized museum. Although it was during Golden Week, I was the only visitor. You can look around in about an hour. Free parking is also available. Nearby is the Takatenjin Castle ruins, which Yayoi Yoshioka visited during her childhood festivals, and you can also go hiking. (Original) よくまとまった資料館です。GW期間中でしたが、来館者は自分だけでした。1時間程度で観て回れます。無料駐車場もあります。近くに吉岡彌生が幼少期お祭りなどで訪れたという高天神城址があり、ハイキングなどもできます。

(Translated by Google) This is a memorial museum to Ms. Yayoi Yoshioka, who contributed to women's medical education and to the advancement of women's status through the profession. You can see her life and what she has accomplished. Also, the house where he was born has been preserved on the premises, and you can also see it. (Original) 女性の医学教育と、職業を通しての女性の立場向上に貢献した吉岡彌生女史の記念館です。 女史の生涯と、成されてきた事を観る事ができます。 また、敷地内には生家が保存されており、こちらも観る事ができます。

(Translated by Google) I went on a weekend morning and I was the only one there. It takes about 30 minutes at your leisure. He is a positive and hard-working person who has enriched his work and family life, and is a great person who gives us strength and courage and could be the subject of a morning drama. I would like people who are working towards their dreams and goals to come and see us. Is the explanatory animation playing inside the museum the same as the one on You Tube? It's probably best to prepare in advance. (Original) 週末の午前中に行きましたが自分しかおりませんでした。所要時間はゆっくり見ても30分くらいです。ポジティブで努力家で仕事も家庭も充実させ、朝ドラのテーマになっても良さそうな力と勇気を与えてくれる偉人です。夢や目標に向けて努力されている方々にぜひ見学して欲しいと思いました。 館内で流れている解説アニメはYou Tubeにあがっているものと同じかな？事前に予習していけそうですね。

(Translated by Google) The video introducing Yayoi Yoshioka's early life is easy to understand, so you should watch it. (Original) 吉岡彌生の生い立ちを紹介するビデオはわかり易いねので見たほうがよいです

(Translated by Google) This is a facility where you can learn about the footsteps of someone who broke through an era when the glass ceiling was much thicker than it is today, as a human being, a woman, and a doctor. The inside of the house where he was born can be seen from the front door. It's relatively close to the Kakegawa Interchange, so I think there's no harm in stopping by. Unless there are people in groups, it won't be crowded, so you can feel safe going even during the coronavirus pandemic. You must enter the museum by 4:30 p.m. Please be careful of that. (Original) 一人の人間として、女性として、そして医師として、現代とは比較にならないくらいガラスの天井が分厚かった時代を打ち破った方の足跡を知ることができる施設です。生家は玄関から中を見るようになっています。掛川インターから比較的近いので、気軽に立ち寄って損はないと思います。団体の方がいなければ、混んでいることはないので、コロナ禍でも安心して行けますよ。16時30分までに入館する必要があります。それだけはお気をつけください。

(Translated by Google) The second Tomei Expressway runs nearby, but it is a place with a calm atmosphere. I thought that many of the Kannon statues were relatively new. May 11, 2020 (Original) すぐ近くに第二東名が走っていますが、落ち着いた雰囲気のある所です。 たくさんの観音像は、比較的新しい物が多いように思いました。 令和6年5月11日

(Translated by Google) 100 Kannon in Kurama, Kakegawa City Free Do you feel like the tree has grown a little too big? It is located near the Kakegawa Plat Park outbound line on the Shin-Tomei Expressway, and there are many Kannon statues with different appearances, and the sidewalks are well maintained. Worth a look. (Original) 掛川市倉真の百観音　無料 立木が少し大きくなりすぎた感が少しあります？ 新東名の掛川ぷらっとパーク下り線近くにあり、一体一体容姿が違う多くの観音様、また歩道もよく手入れもされております。 一見の価値あり。

(Translated by Google) The old walking path had many stairs and cedar leaves were scattered along the way. However, the river and plants are worth seeing! The area around Kurami Onsen is easier to visit than the mountain path. (Original) 古い散策道は、階段が多く途中で杉のはなどが散乱していました。 ただし、川や植物は見応えがあります！ 倉見温泉周辺では、山道より訪れやすいです。

(Translated by Google) There were many Kannon statues and it was worth seeing. It seems to be a power spot. (Original) 沢山の観音様があり見応えがありました。パワースポットらしいです。

(Translated by Google) There are many expressive Kannon statues. (Original) 表情豊かな観音様いっぱいいるよ

(Translated by Google) We put our hands together. You will be saved by believing. (Original) 手を合わせました。信じることで救われますね。

(Translated by Google) A Jodo sect temple. During the Edo period, Enmanji Temple and Tennenji Temple were used as lodgings for Korean envoys. In the precincts is the grave of Geisbert Hemmy, the head of a Dutch trading post in the late Edo period. During his visit to Edo, his chronic illness worsened and he passed away while staying at the main camp in Kakegawa City. There are no details about this person on the information board or on the city's website, so I'll leave the information I know as a memo. Born in Cape Hope, Africa. In 1792, he became the director of Dejima Trading Post. Visited Edo in 1960 and 1992. After visiting the capital for the second time and having an audience with the 11th Shogun Ienari Tokugawa, he died in Kakegawa. There was a donation from the Netherlands for the maintenance of the grave, and it seems that successive trading directors visited the grave on their visits to Edo. On a personal note, when I visited the Nagasaki History Museum, I saw a photo of this place posted there, and I remember being able to learn about local information while being far away in Nagasaki, which left a lasting impression on me. If you would like to research about Henmy, please refer to the following literature. (Mitsuo Shoji, “Hensbert, Director of the Dutch Trading Company: Henmie” (“Dutch Studies Materials Study Group Research Report No. 118”) Jiro Numata, “Historical Materials Related to the Western Dutch Kohitan Henmie Owned by Tenten Temples”) (“Historical Geography”, Vol. 91, 3) issue) (Original) 浄土宗のお寺。江戸時代には円満寺とここ天然寺は、朝鮮通信使の宿所として利用された。境内には江戸後期のオランダ商館長であったゲイスベルト・ヘンミイの墓がある。江戸参府のおり持病が悪化し掛川市の本陣に投宿中亡くなった。この人物については案内板や市のHPにも詳細が出ていないため、私の知っている情報をメモ代わりに残しておく。アフリカ希望岬生まれ。寛政4（1792）出島商館長就任。同6年同10年江戸参府。2度目の参府のおり11代将軍徳川家斉に拝謁したあと、掛川の地で没。墓の維持のためオランダ側から寄進があり、歴代の商館長は江戸参府の折には墓参りをしていたらしい。私事であるが、長崎の歴史博物館に訪れたときここの写真が掲示されており、遠く長崎の地で地元の情報に触れたことが、印象に残った記憶がある。ヘンミイについて調査をしたい方は以下の文献を参考にされたい。（庄司三男「和蘭商館長ヘ－スベルト：ヘンミイ」（『蘭学資料研究会研究報告118号』）沼田次郎「天然寺所蔵和蘭甲比丹ヘンミイ関係史料」）（『歴史地理』91巻3号）

(Translated by Google) This temple is located near the main gate of Kakegawa Castle. (Original) 掛川城大手門近くの寺院です。

(Translated by Google) It is a Jodo sect temple. It's calming down. (Original) 浄土宗のお寺です。落ち着きますね。

(Translated by Google) This museum mainly features old agricultural equipment and festivals. Personally, I was interested in the exhibition of the Sunen Line that used to run there. (Original) 昔の農機具、祭りがメインの資料館です。 個人的にはかつて走っていた駿遠線の展示が気になりました。

(Translated by Google) It's free. There are times when it is unmanned. (Original) 無料です。無人の時もあります。

(Translated by Google) You can clearly understand the life of Osuka town in the past. (Original) 大須賀町の昔の生活がよくわかります。

(Translated by Google) It was closed but the map indicated open (Original) Estava fechado porém o mapa indicava aberto

(Translated by Google) There are some nostalgic farm equipment. (Original) 懐かしい農機具があります。

Fast attendance ,good !

Ok

(Translated by Google) It's a fun spot perfect for families. The expansive grounds include huge play equipment that kids will love, and plenty of areas especially for the little ones. It is also a great opportunity to experience farming and charcoal making, and get in touch with nature. However, there is no restaurant, so we recommend bringing your own lunch. There is also a rest area, so you can feel safe even if you play for a long time. Overall, it's a great park where you can relax and play 🛝 (Original) 家族連れにぴったりの楽しいスポットです。 広大な敷地には、子供が大好きな巨大な遊具があり、特に小さなお子様向けのエリアも充実しています。 農業体験や炭焼き体験ができるのも魅力的で、自然と触れ合う良い機会です。 ただし、レストランはないため、お弁当を持参することをおすすめします。 休憩所も整備されており、長時間遊んでも安心です。 全体的に、リラックスしながら遊べる素晴らしい公園です🛝

(Translated by Google) 22nd Century Hill Park is a park that is characterized by its large size. We recommend parking in the second parking lot, as the park is right nearby. For mothers with children between the ages of 0 and 3, we recommend heading to the back right from the park entrance! There is a collection of play equipment for small children. Centered on complex play equipment with a slide, there are also animal objects, spring play equipment, seesaws, and more. There is also a lot of play equipment that you can spin around. The height of the play equipment here is low, so I think it would be a good idea for children who are not used to playing with play equipment to give it a try. There are clean restrooms and vending machines nearby, so you can play for a long time while taking breaks. To the left is a multi-purpose restroom with a wheelchair-accessible restroom and a diaper-changing table. The toilet is ostomate compatible. There's a grassy field next door, so it's a good place to bring lunch or snacks and relax. There is also a table, chairs and a place for shade. Perfect for a break. In the foreground, there is a lot of play equipment that children of elementary school age and older can play with. Although it is currently under construction, a new indoor playground called ``Mirocco'' is scheduled to open in July 2025 within the ``Tamarina'' facility. A cafe is also available for adults to enjoy. The heated pool is also scheduled to be renovated, and there will also be an area where small children can play indoors. It looks like it will be completed by this summer vacation. I'm looking forward to it. (Original) 22世紀の丘公園はとにかく広いのが特徴の公園です。 お勧めはは第2駐車場に止めていけば公園が直ぐ近くにあります。 0歳～3歳くらいまでのお子さんを持つママは、公園入り口から右奥に進むのがお勧めですよ！ 小さい子供対応の遊具が集合しています。 滑り台がついた複合遊具を中心に、動物のオブジェや、スプリング遊具、シーソーなどがあります。クルクル回せる遊具も沢山あります。ここにある遊具は高さが低いので、遊具に遊び慣れていない子もチャレンジさせてみると良いと思います。 すぐ近くに綺麗なトイレと自動販売機があるので、休憩を挟みながら、長く遊べます。 左手の方には、多目的トイレがあり車椅子対応のトイレ、オムツ交換の台付きあり。オストメイト対応トイレとなっています。隣に芝生の広場が広がっているので、お昼ご飯やおやつを持ってきて、ゆっくり過ごすのも良いですね。テーブル、椅子、日除けの場所もあります。休憩に最適です。 手前の方には小学生以上の子供達が遊べる遊具が沢山あります。 今は工事中ですが「たまりーな」施設内に新しい屋内遊び場「mirocco（みろっこ）」が2025年7月にオープン予定です。 大人も楽しめるカフェを設置。温水プールも改修される予定だし、小さな子供が屋内でも遊べる場所も出来る予定だそうです。今年の夏休みには完成してくれているようです。 楽しみですね。

(Translated by Google) I went to 22nd Century Hill Park, located near Senba IC on the Kakegawa Bypass. The parking lot is spacious, the facilities are all clean, and there are playground equipment for children both indoors and outdoors. I thought it was definitely a hidden gem of a park. For lunch, I had a tartar fried chicken bento and caramel latte, which was very tasty. When I come to this area, there aren't many places to take a break or have lunch, so I'll definitely make use of this place in the future! (Original) 掛川バイパス千羽IC近くにある、22世紀の丘公園に行ってきました。 駐車場は広々としているし、施設は全部キレイだし、屋外だけでなく、 屋内にも、子供を遊ばせられる遊具もあって、確かに穴場の公園だと思いました。 昼食に、タルタル唐揚弁当＆キャラメルラテを食べたのですが、味もなかなかでした。 こっち方面に来た時、あまり、休憩、昼食がとれるところがなかったので、 今後は、重宝に使わせていただきます！

(Translated by Google) Visited on a weekday in February. As expected, it was empty. I stopped by on my trip, and the grounds are quite large, and the playground equipment that stands in the center is overwhelmingly large. In addition to the large playground equipment, there is also playground equipment for younger children located a little further away, so you can play without coming into contact with older children. Also, what impressed me personally was that there was a seesaw installed. I was moved because they were being removed from parks in the metropolitan area more and more because they were considered dangerous, and I rarely saw them anymore. There are clean restrooms, and there are vending machines with drinks and ice cream, so if you bring your own lunch, you can play all day. (Original) 2月の平日に訪問。さすがにガラガラでした。旅行途中で寄ったのですが、敷地がかなり広く、また中央にそびえ立つ遊具は圧巻の大きさです。大型遊具の他に低年齢向けの遊具も少し離れた場所にあるので、大きな子と接触する事なく遊べると思います。また、個人的に感動したのが、シーソーが設置されていた事です。危ないという理由で首都圏の公園からはどんどん撤去されていて、滅多に見ることが無くなっていたので感動しました。 綺麗なトイレも有り、飲み物とアイスの自販機があったのでお弁当等持っていけば1日中遊べると思います。

(Translated by Google) Takatenjin Castle is quite a climb. I think we've finally reached the top, but the approach to the shrine is quite a climb 😅 Sadly, I don't have the stamina, so the more I struggle, the more I'll never come again! (I don't want to go because it's difficult) It's a vicious cycle of looking at everything and getting exhausted😅 Physical strength is important🚴💨 (Original) ただでさえ結構登る高天神城。 やっと頂上部と思うも神社の参道も結構登ります😅 悲しいかなスタミナないワタクシは苦労すればするほど、2度と来ないしな！(大変だから行きたくない) と全部を見て廻ってグッタリするという悪循環😅　体力って大事🚴💨

(Translated by Google) This is a small shrine located near the main enclosure of Takatenjin Castle. There is a torii gate at the entrance of the castle, and the whole castle looks like a shrine, but the main shrine is small. (Original) 高天神城の本丸近くにある小さな神社です。城趾の入口に鳥居があり、城趾全体が神社のようになってますが、本殿は小さかったです。

(Translated by Google) May 2025 The remains of the Nishinomaru (Tanba Kuruwa) of Takatenjin Castle. The deities enshrined are Takamimusubi no Mikoto, Ame-no-bohi no Mikoto, and, as the name suggests, Tenjin-sama (Michizane Sugawara). 2020 It is located on the site of Takatenjin Castle, which is famous as a mountain castle, so you need to be prepared to climb quite a bit. Many people probably stop by after visiting Takatenjin Castle, and the shrine office will be almost deserted unless there is an annual festival. (Original) 2025年5月 高天神城西の丸(丹波曲輪)跡。ご祭神は高皇産霊命、天菩比命の他、名のごとく天神様(菅原道真公)も。 2020年 山城として名高い高天神城跡にあるので、それなりに登る覚悟が必要。高天神城を訪問したついでに寄る方が多いと思われ、社務所も例大祭とかでなければほぼ無人でしょう。

(Translated by Google) You can go to the shrine by going up the stairs on your right at the fork in the road with the main enclosure ruins. It's the last climb (Original) 本丸跡との分かれ道を右手に階段を行くと神社に行けます 最後のひと上がりです

(Translated by Google) Takaten Shrine Address: 2650 Kamijikata Minemukai, Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture Company rank Gosha Founding year: Engi 12 (921) According to the shrine's legend, the year it was founded is unknown, but the shrine was built as a sacred place where Ninigi no Mikoto descended. It is said to have been solicited in the 12th year of Engi (921) during the Heian period, and when Ryoshun Imagawa built Takatenjin Castle in the 23rd year of Oei (1416), a branch spirit of Michizane Sugawara was solicited from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Since then, it has been revered and protected by successive castle lords as the guardian shrine of Takatenjin Castle. Initially, it seems to have been enshrined near the main enclosure of Takatenjin Castle, but it seems to have been moved to its current location due to the construction of the castle. (Original) 高天神社(たかてんじんじゃ) 所在地　静岡県掛川市上土方嶺向2650 社格　　郷社 創建年　延喜12年(921年) 社伝によると創建年代は不明らしいですが、瓊瓊杵尊(ににぎのみこと)が降臨した聖地として社殿が設けられた。 平安時代の延喜12年(921年)に勧請されたとされ、応永23年(1416年)に今川了俊が高天神城を築いた際、太宰府天満宮から菅原道真の分霊が勧請された。以来、高天神城の鎮守社として歴代城主達から崇敬保護されました。当初は、高天神城の本丸付近に鎮座したようですが、築城により現在地に遷座したようです。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is located at the site of the Nishinomaru, a strategic point of Takatenjin Castle. It still attracts many visitors and has a solemn atmosphere. (Original) 高天神城の要所に位置する西の丸跡にある神社。今なお参詣者は多く荘厳な雰囲気がある。

(Translated by Google) Takatenjin Shrine is a shrine located on the ruins of Takatenjin Castle. Although it is a little deserted and I am a little worried about its future maintenance, I have high hopes for the efforts of the parishioners. I thought I might be able to get a goshuin stamp here, but the shrine office was not open on the day I visited (weekday afternoon). There is a stone statue of a cow behind the guardian dog, but this is also starting to weather. (Original) 高天神社は高天神城跡にある神社。少し寂れていて今後の維持が少し心配されるが氏子さんたちの頑張りに期待。こちらでも御朱印を頂けそうであったが訪問日(平日午後)には社務所が開いていなかった。狛犬の奥に牛の石像があるがこちらも風化が始まっている。

(Translated by Google) There is a large parking lot right next to it, which is convenient. There is a vermilion-painted gate and a small Kannon statue. Senjumine can be seen from the temple grounds. There is a hiking course and it took about 30 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. (Original) すぐ横に広い駐車場があって便利です。朱塗りの門や小さな観音様などがあります。 境内からは千手峰が見えています。ハイキングコースがあり、山頂まで30分くらいでした。

(Translated by Google) There are more than 20 temples in the former Osuka town, but among them, Senjuyama Fumonji has the longest history. Looking at the information sign, it appears that the temple area in the past was so vast that it covered almost the entire mountain. Fumonji is an ancient temple that is said to have been founded in 704 by the Bodhisattva Gyoki during the Asuka period under the imperial command of Emperor Monmu, and was originally a Hosso sect, but later converted to the Tendai sect. Later, during the Sengoku period, many of the halls were destroyed by military fire, but the halls were rebuilt by Lord Yasutaka Osuka, the first lord of Yokosuka Castle. The vermilion-painted Benzaiten-do Hall, which stands inside a pond, is said to have been commissioned by Taira Shigemori from Itsukushima in Aki during the Heian period. Fumonji is comprised of three other halls: Kannon-do and Zenkoji-do. It is also the 12th temple of the Enshu Sanjusan Kannon Sacred Site. The photo shows the main hall, Kannon-do and Benten-do. (Original) 旧大須賀町には20ヶ寺以上の寺院を数えますが、その中でも千手山 普門寺は最も長い歴史を有しています。案内看板を見ると、往時の寺域はほとんど山全体に及ぶほど広大だったようです。 普門寺は文武天皇の勅命により飛鳥時代の704年に行基菩薩が開創したとされる古刹で、初めは法相宗でしたが、後に天台宗にと改宗しました。その後、戦国時代には堂宇の多くを兵火により焼失しましたが、初代横須賀城主大須賀康高公によって諸堂が再建されました。 池の中に建つ朱塗りの弁財天堂は、平安時代に平重盛が安芸の厳島から勧請した伝えられています。他に観音堂および善光寺堂の三堂により普門寺が構成されています。遠州三十三観音霊場の第十二番札所でもあります。 写真は本堂の観音堂と弁天堂です。

(Translated by Google) It is said to have started when Gyoki built it on Senju-no-mine in 704 by Emperor Monmu's imperial order. Senjuyama and Fumonji are temples of the Tendai sect. The principal image is the Bodhisattva Sho Kannon. This is the 12th temple of the Enshu Sanjusan Kannon Sacred Site. . When it was founded, it was the Hosso sect, but from the 14th generation onward it became the Tendai sect. In 1177, Taira no Shigemori prayed for Emperor Takakura's recovery from his illness, safety at sea, and safety on board, and moved the temple to the site and rebuilt the various halls.The temple is said to have been created by Saicho (Dengyo Daisho). The Sho Kannon Bodhisattva was enshrined here. Adjacent to the temple is Yasho Shrine, which serves as the guardian deity of the temple. There is a Bentendo temple in the pond within the precincts. Bententen, Bishamonten, and Daikokuten are enshrined here. In addition, the Zenkoji Hall enshrines the spirit of the Ikko Sanzon Amida Nyorai statue from Zenkoji Temple in Shinano, and the Fudo Hall enshrines Nakiri Fudo Myoo. It is a temple with a long history that is not found in the nearby area. (Original) 慶雲元年(704年)文武天皇の勅命により、行基が千手の峰に立てたのが始まりといいます。 千手山、普門寺は天台宗の寺院です。本尊は聖観音菩薩。遠州三十三観音霊場の12番札所になります。。 創建当初は法相宗でしたが、14代から天台宗になりました。治承元年(1177年)平重盛が高倉天皇の病気平癒と海上安全、船中無難を祈願して寺を現地に移し、諸堂を再建すると共に、最澄(伝教大帥)の作と言う聖観音菩薩を安置しました。隣接して寺の鎮守として八所神社があります。 境内には弁天堂が池の中にあります。弁天天、毘沙門天、大黒天が祀られています。また、善光寺堂には信濃の善光寺より、一光三尊阿弥陀如来像を分霊して祀り、不動堂には波切不動明王が祀ります。近郷にない、歴史の古い寺院です。

(Translated by Google) It's a quiet and relaxing place. The chief priest is very friendly and interesting to talk to. (Original) 静かで落ち着ける場所です。そして御住職はとても気さくでお話しが面白いです。

(Translated by Google) Not only is it a historic temple, but we always participate in the New Year's event held every year😊The chief priest is also a wonderful person. (Original) 歴史あるお寺さんというだけでなく、毎年行われる年始のイベントには必ず参加しています😊住職さんも素晴らしい方です。

(Translated by Google) It was a quiet temple with a large parking lot. Goshuin stamps and stamps were also prepared. (Original) 駐車場が広く静かなお寺でした。御朱印(書き置き)や印も準備してありました。

(Translated by Google) In order to visit all the temples, you will probably need to prepare for some light mountain climbing. (Original) 全てのお堂をお参りするには軽登山な支度が必要と思われます。

(Translated by Google) Zenkoji Temple Address: 331 Okazu, Kakegawa City Visit date　2023/12/28 This Amida Buddha is revered as the ``Tathagata Buddha'' who enters people's hearts and protects them from evil spirits. The history of Zenkoji Temple is unknown, but it has been said since the Edo period that this Amida Buddha was the guardian deity of Sakanoue Tamuramaro, a military commander active in the Heian period. Currently, only the Amida-do Hall stands within the grounds of Chudo-ji Temple. (Original) 善光寺(ぜんこうじ) 所在地　掛川市岡津331 訪問日　2023/12/28 こちらの阿弥陀仏は、人の心に入り身を守る「胃病厄除け如来」として崇敬されています。 善光寺の沿革は不詳なれど、この阿弥陀仏は平安時代に活躍した武将「坂上田村麻呂」の守り本尊だったと江戸時代から言い伝えられているそうです 現在は、仲道寺の境内に阿弥陀堂が建つのみです。

(Translated by Google) It is a very lively temple. There are also tea shops where you can take a break. There is a long line for the goshuin. (Original) 大変賑やかなお寺です。 お茶屋さんなどもあり、休憩できます。 御朱印は、行列が出来ています。

(Translated by Google) It seems that the predecessor of the current Chudo-ji Temple was Zenko-ji Temple, but no detailed records seem to remain. Eventually, Tendai sect? Or the Jodo sect? I think it was rebuilt by a Soto sect monk after it had been in decline... Although I haven't actually seen it, I heard that the Zenkoji-style Amida Triad statue is enshrined here. Even though the name of the temple has changed, it seems that it has carved out a history as a spiritual place for the local people. (Original) 現在仲道寺の前身が善光寺だったようですが、詳しい記録は残っていないようです。いずれ、天台宗系？　か、浄土宗系？　の寺院があって衰退していた後に、曹洞宗の僧侶が再建したのではないでしょうか…… 実際に拝観してはいませんが、善光寺式の阿弥陀三尊像が安置されていると聞きました。寺名は変わっても、地元の人達の心の拠り所として、歴史を刻んで来たようです。

(Translated by Google) I visited Zenkoji only because of the name, but it didn't feel like someone who wasn't a danka would come to worship there. (Original) 善光寺の名前だけを見て伺いましたが檀家でない人が参拝するような感じではありませんでした。

(Translated by Google) Zenkoji is located right in the middle of the 53 stations of the Tokaido. However, the appearance lacks topicality. We have managed to maintain it thanks to the support of the pine trees. Since it's in the middle, I want to liven it up. (Original) 東海道五十三次のちょうど真ん中に当たる善光寺。しかし、話題性に欠けるその姿。松並木が支えてくれてなんとか維持できています。真ん中なんだから盛り上げたいものです。

(Translated by Google) This is the extra temple of Totomi 33 Kannon. It is quite old. (Original) 遠江三十三観音、番外札所です。だいぶ老朽化しています。

(Translated by Google) It's a temple (Original) お寺です

(Translated by Google) I didn't notice it when I was walking nearby, but I stopped by and asked about it, and it seems that it is currently the only Shingon sect school. Apparently it's not Koyasan Shingon Buddhism. I think that's the case from Mr. Danka. There is also a wisteria trellis, so I would like to come when the wisteria is in full bloom in the fall. 2024.12/07. (Original) 近くを歩いていても気にならなかったのですが、ふと立ち寄って聞いてみました処、現在は真言宗だけだそうです。高野山真言宗ではないそうですよって。檀家さんの方から、そうだとおもいます。また藤棚があるので秋の藤が見頃のとき来てみたいと思います。 2024.12/07.

(Translated by Google) The main hall is an old concrete building, but it has a sense of dignity. (Original) 本堂は、コンクリート造りの古い建物ですが風格があります。

(Translated by Google) Hongenji Temple Address: 5431 Nishiobuchi, Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture Sect: Nichiren sect Mountain name: Mt. Jakusei Temple name: Hongenji Founded in 1628 The name of the mountain is Jakuseizan, from the Jakusei of Jakusei-in Nikken Shonin, who was invited to open the mountain, and it is called Hongenji, taking its origin from the posthumous name of Masanari Inoue, the 10th lord of Yokosuka Castle, and from Chugen-in-dono Ryusho Nisso Daikoji. The temple halls were completed 12 years after the mountain was founded. The place where it was founded was on the east side of the Inari statue in the valley of Sakashita (one valley west of this place), which was used to ward off evil spirits at Yokosuka Castle. Later, after Masatoshi Inoue, the 11th lord of the castle, transferred the castle to Kasama, Hitachi Province, his nephew Toshinaga Honda became the lord of Yokosuka Castle from Sanshu Okazaki Castle, and moved it to its current location around 1662.

(Translated by Google) I think it's a spacious and well-maintained sports park. (Original) 広くて綺麗に管理されている運動公園だと思います。

(Translated by Google) The outdoor pool is open from 9:00 to 16:00 from mid-July to late August. There are only Japanese-style toilets outside with no multipurpose toilets. (Original) 屋外プールは7月中旬〜8月下旬の9時〜16時までです。 屋外には多目的トイレ無しの和式のみ

(Translated by Google) It is exclusively used in an exercise instruction class for elementary school students. In the summer, there are many places where bees are infested, and there are no sunshades, so be careful of high temperatures and heat stroke ⚠️ The restrooms and scenery are kept relatively clean, and there are some people walking around. The parking lot 🅿️ is too small to be used by pool, ground, and tennis court users, so it may become full if the ground is used exclusively by users of each facility. (Original) 小学生向けの運動指導教室で専用使用させてもらっています。 夏場は蜂🐝が発生している場所もちらほらある、日除けがないため高温熱中症注意が必要です⚠️ トイレや景観は比較的綺麗に保たれており、散歩している方もいらっしゃいます。 駐車場🅿️はプール、グラウンド、テニスコート利用者兼用にしては手狭なため、グラウンド専用利用と各施設利用者が重なると満車になる可能性があります。

(Translated by Google) There is a baseball field (multipurpose plaza), tennis court, and gateball field. You can also use the pool in summer. Usage fees are low. ✨ (Original) 野球場(多目的広場) テニスコート ゲートボール場 が 有って 夏 は プール も利用出来ます。 利用料金が安いです。✨

(Translated by Google) I used it for a short break while driving. The multipurpose square seems to require advance reservations, and there is also a pool. It looks like a municipal sports complex located in the Ecopolis Industrial Park area. (Original) 運転の小休憩に利用しました。多目的広場は、事前予約が必要みたいでプールもありました。エコポリス工業団地のエリアにある市営の総合スポーツ施設みたいです。

(Translated by Google) I went to the outdoor pool, which is only open in the summer. It's like THE municipal pool. It's faster and better to put on your swimsuit at home. Of course, there are changing rooms and coin lockers (100 yen refund, cannot fit a lot of luggage). However, it is old and cannot be called clean. Small children are likely to sit on the ground. If you are concerned about hygiene, it may be a good idea to have leisure sheets. There are tents and benches scattered around the poolside, but it doesn't feel like there's a lot of shade. I thought about using a pop-up tent, but it seemed like a no-no. Better check. So I brought an umbrella as a parasol. There are showers by the pool and showers at public elementary schools. There were also snacks for sale by the pool. I thought I would change my clothes in the changing room on the way home, but the kids were changing by the pool. (Original) 夏だけオープンする屋外プールに行ってきました。THE市営プール、という感じです。 自宅で水着を着ていく方が早くていいです。更衣室、コインロッカー(百円返金、荷物はたくさんは入りません)はもちろんあります。が、老朽化しており、きれい、とはいえません。小さいお子さんは地べたに座ったりしてしまいそう。衛生面が気になる方は、レジャーシートなどあると安心かも。 プールサイドは、テントやベンチが点在していますが、日陰がたくさんという、感じではありません。ポップアップテントを、と思いましたがNGな感じでした。確認したほうがいいです。ので、日傘として傘を持参しました。 シャワーがプールサイドにあり、公立小学校にあるシャワーです。 プールサイドには軽食の販売もありました。帰りの着替えも更衣室で、と思いましたが子どもたちはプールサイドで着替えていました。
