Top 25 things to do and attractions in Usa

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

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

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

A beautiful shrine with an atmosphere like Ise Jingu.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11.5km trek around the peninsula and a nice Buddha face carved into a cliff face? Better than Mount rushmore. I don't want to rush and I want more! It's quite cool that after years of weathering the face is still looking dapper. One star off because the trek wasn't too friendly if you aren't fit, like me after eating all that ramen. Please press like if you liked this review.

The upper part of the staircase is like a random stone pile up, which is a little hard to climb up. You should get a walking pole at the entrance.

The steep stone walkway is no joke! Don’t be brave and just listen to the advise and use a walking stick which is free and available from the ticket office.

Buddhas in the cliff face. A unique and stunning place, with an enjoyable walk up to the top

Love this place. Very quiet and peaceful. Better prepare for walking uphill. Rock stairs are not easy for elderly people.

Nice place for trekking & to see the beautiful Buddha rock sculpture.

Amazing

This volcano hill never fail to impressive me. Visited for the third time to see this adorable hill.

We come on the day after burning

Perhaps not at its best in winter, but a pretty sight nonetheless.

Beautiful! Just go for few minutes to see.

Best view at evening before sunset

Amazing place! Beautiful and surreal in Autumn!

Only Japan is allowed to have cute looking volcanoes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The views are great and also the food.

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

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

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

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

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

Informative museum

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nothing to eat around.

Beautifull Weiss and incredible similitud!

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

Nice location good nature walks large cabins

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

Great👍

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

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

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

Amazing experience at this historic onsen that has been rebuilt. The bath is very special, with volcanic clay coming with the water, though the clay level is much less now than in some of the pictures during my visit. The highlight of the stay is our terrific Hanare room, the detached room. It is so spacious and luxurious and feels like such a wonderful and relaxing cabin to escape from the city. The meals were terrific and some of the best I have ever had in Japan and in the world. The Yamakudo dinner with the Aso aka ushi skewers were phenomenal and I have never tasted beef this good. The breakfast was also very complete and splendid and both meals were absolute experiences. The owner chef and his team were very welcoming, kind, and did their best to speak with us considering our limited Japanese. We felt very welcome and kindly treated at all times, and this is one of the best experiences we have ever had in a ryokan. Top recommended!

Absolutely loved staying here. The ryokan is a nice juxtaposition between the new and old. It is a 200 year old ryokan that was destroyed 7 years ago and was completely rebuild. The light wood is new and the dark wood is salvaged from the old structure. There is a single sex onsen and a mixed gender onsen. Both are open aired. The water composition is very good and the temperature is hot. pH is 2.8. You can smell a faint hint of sulfur in the air. It doesn’t smell bad. Just of boiled eggs. The food was really good. We had duck hotpot for dinner and it was delicious. The rice is the nicest I have ever eaten. Cooked in charcoal and every grain is delicious. Breakfast was also yummy especially the French toast with fermented Japanese butter which made it taste like Gorgonzola.

A really nice osen deep into the mountains. The private rooms smell rich of wood which is beautiful. 2nd night the owner cooked in front of us and shared his experiences alongside his amazing dinner course. They have private women and men’s public onsen. Private Onsen is also in the rooms. For mixed onsen ladies and men wear coverings which makes the experience much nicer. It consists of hot, warm and cold onsen it’s great for joints and very relaxing. If you can drive I would highly recommend this onsen

We only did the day visit, lovely mixed bathing

Heaven in the middle of paradise. Screams class everywhere. Food is awesome; pvt rooms offered, and chalets are superbly thought out. Simple and very elegantly done. Each one has it's own private hot spring bath. Japanese breakfast is a wonderful experience.

Fantastic, pure, mineral rich, amazing mud- bubbling hot spring. The water makes here makes my skin feel silly for a couple days. Also makes it smell a bit sulfery, but that's part if the experience.

Great hot spring…

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lookout point

(Translated by Google) I was drawn to see it by the signboard along the road. When I parked my car in the parking lot and walked out, a tent was set up near the entrance and a donation of 300 yen per person was collected. I would be happy to pay for the cherry blossoms in their prime at Isshingyo, but... I wish there was a signboard at the entrance of the prefectural road or in the parking lot with information about the donation. The parking lot was free, cherry blossoms were blooming there, and the view toward Aso was nice. (Original) 道路沿いの看板に釣られて見に行きました。 駐車場に車を止め歩いて行くと入口近くにテントを張られ協力金1人300円徴収されました。 全盛期の一心行位の桜だったら喜んで払えるのですが… 県道入口の看板とか駐車場に協力金の案内を書かれてたらと思います。 駐車場は無料でそこにも桜咲いてますし阿蘇向けの眺めは良かったです。

(Translated by Google) The contribution amount was 300 yen. It was in full bloom with the Aso Five Mountains in the background. (Original) 協力金は、300円になっていました。 阿蘇五岳をバックに見事に咲き誇っていました。

(Translated by Google) The people who manage the meadow are kind enough to open it to the public only during the cherry blossom season. There is an entrance fee of 200 yen in addition to the environmental maintenance fee, but recently photographers have been leaving at night and early in the morning without paying, so they are considering closing it off at night and early in the morning. Be sure to pay. The footing is very poor, so it may be difficult for people with walking disabilities. (Original) 牧草地を管理されている方々が、ご厚意で桜の期間中限定で開放されている。 環境整備費を入場料として200円必要だが、最近は夜間や早朝のカメラマン等が払わずに立ち去るので夜間、早朝は封鎖を検討しているとのこと。必ず払いましょう。 足場は大変悪いので、足が不自由な方は難しいと思います。

(Translated by Google) [Monday] March 26, 2021 [Parking] Available [Toilet] None 🔷I stopped by to see the Kannon cherry blossoms in Minamiaso Village, Aso District. There was a Kannon cherry tree about 100m up a steep grassland from the parking lot below❕The cherry blossoms were almost in full bloom and beautiful. 🔷On that day, local people were putting up splints on the cherry blossom trees❕ (Original) 【月　日】2021年3月26日 【駐車場】有り 【トイレ】無し 🔷阿蘇郡南阿蘇村の観音桜🌸を見に寄りました。下の駐車場から急な草原を100m程登った所に観音桜は有りました❕桜はほぼ満開で綺麗でした。 🔷当日は地元の方々が桜の木に添木を立ててました❕

(Translated by Google) This was my first time seeing them🌸 I parked in the parking lot with a guide map, and started about 10 meters ahead and started climbing the hill. It was a slight slope, and by the time I got close to the cherry blossoms I was out of breath and painfully aware of my lack of exercise. It looked like they were grazing cows, and there were electric wires strung around the cherry blossoms⚠️ The cherry blossoms were worth seeing. The view from there was also great. I wonder if the 200 yen admission fee is normal? I wonder if this was a while ago? No one was there, though... (Original) 初めて　観に来ました🌸 案内地図のある　駐車場に止めて すぐ先　10メートルくらいの所から 岡を上がって行きました。 少し傾斜があり 桜の近くまで到着すると息があがって 運動不足を痛感しました。 牛を放牧されてるみたいで 電流線が　桜の周りにはられてます⚠️ 桜は　見応えありました。 そこからの　眺めもよかったです。 200円は　通常とられるんでしょうか 以前の話しなんでしょうか どなたもいらっしゃらなかったですが…

(Translated by Google) Admission is 200 yen. Parking is free. There's a food area where locals serve local food. Upon entering, you'll have to climb a slightly steep hill. Wear sneakers. Rental walking sticks are also available. The view of the mountains and the cherry blossoms in the parking lot are spectacular. It was worth the climb, lol 😂 The cherry trees are sturdy and surrounded by a fence, so you can't get to the base, but the atmosphere was amazing. (Original) 入館料200円 駐車場無料。 地元の方が地元のものを提供されているフードスペースがあります。 入館するなり少し急な坂を登らないといけません。運動靴でいきましょう。 貸出杖もあります。 絶景の山並みと駐車場の桜が綺麗に見えます。登った甲斐があります笑😂 桜はしっかりしており柵で囲っているので根本まではいけませんが、雰囲気は良すぎました。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Translated by Google) Usa Jingu Rhombus Pond, along with Hatsuzawa Pond, is a famous place for lotuses, and I always look forward to it when I receive the cogon grass ring at the beginning of July. Recently, for some reason, the lotuses at Hatsuzawa Pond have disappeared, so you can only see lotuses at this pond. However, during the best time to see, the sight of so many pink lotuses blooming all over the lake is truly spectacular. The area around the pond is hot and humid, but once you enter the shrine grounds, which have a solemn atmosphere, you will feel cool and sweaty, making it a recommended place for viewing lotuses. Added on 20-06-26 When I visited on the 26th, I was surprised to find that most of the lotuses that were there were gone. It looks like it won't bloom for a while, but I'm sad about it. (Original) 宇佐神宮菱形池は初沢池とともに蓮の名所で7月初めの茅の輪を授けていただく時にはいつも楽しみにしていた所。 最近どう言う訳か初沢池の蓮が無くなったので蓮はこの池のみでしか見られません。 しかし見頃の頃は湖面一面に沢山のピンク色の蓮が咲き乱れるさまは素晴らしいの一言です。 池の周りはは蒸し暑いですが、厳かな雰囲気が漂う境内に入ると涼しくて汗がひくので蓮の鑑賞にはお勧めの場所です。 20-06-26追記 26日に訪れたところ、あれだけあった蓮が殆ど無くなっていてびっくり。 開花は暫く先になりそうですが、寂しいかぎりです。

It is a breathtaking water fall in Fukino, Usa which is a one and half hour drive from Oita. The road to the waterfall from the mainroad is narrow and little bit tricky. So you need to be very careful with your driving. Once you enter tge parking lot you will see that why it is worth all the trouble to get there. We went there on a weekend and were quite a few people there. There is a fine resting area and well maintained restrooms in the parking lot. No need to buy tickets to enter. It is a short walk from the parking lot to the waterfall. On the way to the waterfall you will find some child friendly natural pools. It is the most beautiful waterfall i have visited in Oita. There is a side walk where you cango behind the waterfall. There are some places that are slippery but altogether it is a safe walk. I wouldn't recommend swimming in the pool because for me it seemed that some areas are too deep. But there are some places down the stream. If one wants to get in the water.

A surprising little stop on the way to the floral village. The waterfall is very high and looks magnificent surrounded by the lush dark green fauna. Its just a 5-10 min easy walk to get there.

Very lovely observation point for a large waterfall. Parking was plentiful and free. Toilets as well by the car park. About 5 minute walk to observation point with very easy to walk path. Sign at car park said there is also another way to view this waterfall at the base, this was observing from opposite up high. If time is a constraint this is the one to go for.

Absolutely amazing! Wonderful view. Be careful walking to the waterfall on the path. Great clean facilities

Amazing view . Not much crowded . You will feel like to stay there forever.

Very beautiful waterfall in a fantastic natural surroundings. There is a carved passage by the side of the wall that leads to the back of the waterfall and you can watch the waterfall standing behind it. Also good for swimming in summer

Amazing place, best waterfall I've ever seen!

(Translated by Google) From the name, I came here thinking it would have a good view. The name comes from the fact that you can see Mount Yufu, also known as Bungo Fuji, from the bridge. The piers are thick and sturdy. Nowadays, you can only walk across it, but its presence was impressive. Although the river is covered with rocks, you can see potholes created by the flow of time, giving it a sense of authenticity. There was also a storefront, which could be seen from the middle height of the bridge. There didn't seem to be a parking lot, but since it's a short distance from the national highway, it seems like you'll be able to find a spot that won't interfere with traffic. (Original) その名前から、眺望が良いのだろうと訪れた。 名前の由来は、橋から豊後富士と呼ばれる由布岳が望めるからだとか。 橋脚は太くしっかりとした造り。 今では歩いて渡るぐらいしか出来ないが、その存在感は見事だった。 川は岩で覆われているが、悠久の時の流れが作り出した甌穴が見られ、信憑性さえ感じる。 店舗所もあり、橋の中程の高さから望むことも出来るようだった。 駐車場は無さそうだったが、国道から少し入るので、交通の妨げにならない場所は見付かりそうだ。

(Translated by Google) 2023.5 It was May and the carp streamers were hanging, so it was a little difficult for me to see the bridge. Let's come again in another season. The trees in the back of Mt. Yufu have grown so it's a little hard to see. (Original) 2023.5 丁度5月でこいのぼりが掛かており、橋を見たい自分としてはちょっと。季節ずらしてまた来よう。 由布岳は奥の樹木が成長しててちょっと見辛いな

(Translated by Google) July 9, 2019 I stopped by Fujimi Bridge! ️There was no parking lot, so I found a slightly wider space across the bridge, so I parked there. It's a stone bridge with three arches 🎵 On the upstream side of the road bridge, there was an artificial waterfall flowing down from the irrigation canal. (Original) 2019年7月9日 富士見橋に寄りました‼️駐車場は無いので橋を渡った所に少し広い所が有りましたのでそこに止めました。3連アーチの石橋ですね🎵道路の橋をの上流側には用水路からの流れ落ちる人工の滝が有りました🙂

(Translated by Google) I was amazed at the skill of the stonemasons in the hospital who have built not only this bridge but many other stone bridges. (Original) この橋だけでなく、いろんな石橋を作ってきた院内の石工さんの技術に驚く。

(Translated by Google) Touring the stone bridges in Usa (inside the hospital). It is along National Route 387. Fujimi Bridge, Mikutsu Bridge, and Torii Bridge are recommended. (Original) 宇佐（院内）の石橋巡り。国道387号線沿いです。 富士見橋、御沓橋、鳥居橋がオススメです。

(Translated by Google) I was passing by and saw the bridge as a point of interest. It was covered in grass so it was impossible to see the stones. (Original) Estava passando por la e vi a ponte como ponto de interesse. Estava coberta de grama então ficou impossível de observar as pedras.

(Translated by Google) While taking a break during the Oita Tour at the end of last year. This is a photo I happened to take, but I watched it on YouTube. If so, is it famous locally? It seems like it was a place I tried posting it. On YouTube, you can see cherry blossoms in early spring. Since it was the cherry blossom season (there were many cherry blossom trees along the road), I would like to visit again during the cherry blossom season. (Original) 昨年末の大分ツーリングで途中一休み時に たまたま撮った写真ですが、YouTubeを観て いたら、地元では有名？な場所だったらしく 投稿してみました。YouTubeでは春先の桜の 季節だったので、(道沿いに桜の木が、沢山有りました。)また桜の季節に再訪したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It is located along the national highway. There is a parking lot and a toilet. You can get a close look at the largest strangely shaped rock in the Yabakei area. It's a landscape of rocks, or mountains, that doesn't seem like Japan. It is said that it was also a training ground for mountain Buddhism. How about taking a break after driving? (Original) 国道沿いにあります。 駐車場あり、トイレあり。 耶馬渓地域で随一の大きさを誇る「奇岩」を間近で観ることができます。岩というか山というか、日本とは思えない風景です。 山岳仏教の修行場でもあったそうです。 ドライブがてら一休みに如何でしょうか？

(Translated by Google) A small park located across Oita Prefectural Route 50 Ajimu-Yufuin Line from the nature-created art "Sen no Iwa".

There is a place to park (Original) 自然が作った芸術「仙の岩」に対して大分県道50号安心院湯布院線を挟んで向いにある小さな公園。福岡県から由布院に向かう道中にある場所ではあるが、あまり人が立ち寄らない場所なのか、草木は生い茂っているもののその見晴らしはなかなかに素晴らしい。駐停車する場所は有り

(Translated by Google) This is a Jodo Shinshu Honganji temple in Minamiusa, Usa City. This temple, located next to the tourist information center in front of Nakamise Street at Usa Shrine, enshrines the Maitreya Bodhisattva from the lecture hall of Mirokuji Temple, a shrine temple that once stood at Usa Shrine. Mirokuji Temple was demolished due to the Shinbutsu Bunri Edict and Haibutsu Kishaku (Buddhist and Buddhist destruction) during the Meiji period, but the Yakushi Nyorai Buddha in the main hall was moved to Daizenji Temple, and the Maitreya Bodhisattva in the lecture hall was enshrined at Gokurakuji Temple, so it was spared from destruction. It is currently enshrined in the Mirokudo Hall next to the main hall. The golden shining Buddha, which is so large that you can look up to it, teaches us about the era of Shinbutsu Shugo. The Amida Nyorai Buddha, the principal image of the main hall of Gokurakuji Temple, was also enshrined in the Daini Hall, which was in front of the Hishigata Pond at Usa Shrine. Remnants of Shinbutsu Shugo, the original religious view of the Japanese, can still be felt in Usa Shrine and its surrounding areas. (Original) 宇佐市南宇佐にある浄土真宗本願寺派のお寺。 宇佐神宮仲見世通りの前の観光案内所隣にあるこちらのお寺には宇佐神宮にかつてあった神宮寺の弥勒寺講堂の弥勒菩薩様が祀られています。明治時代の神仏分離令及び廃仏毀釈により取り壊されてしまった弥勒寺ですが金堂の薬師如来様は大善寺さんへ、講堂の弥勒菩薩様はこの極楽寺に祀られており破壊を免れました。現在は本堂隣の弥勒堂に安置されています。今も金色に光輝き見上げるほどの大きさを誇る仏像は神仏習合の時代を我々に教えてくれます。 極楽寺本堂の御本尊阿弥陀如来様も宇佐神宮菱形池の前にあった大弐堂に祀られていたものです。宇佐神宮とその周辺では日本人本来の宗教観である神仏習合の名残りを今も感じられます。

(Translated by Google) A historic temple where the standing statue of Amida Nyorai, formerly enshrined at Usa Jingu Shrine, is enshrined. Before visiting the Great Buddha, visit the main shrine (Original) 元宇佐神宮に祀られていた阿弥陀如来立像が鎮座する由緒ある寺 大仏を拝観する前に本殿をお参りする

(Translated by Google) There was a Maitreya Buddha. Since it is a Jodo Shinshu temple, they do not distribute goshuin (red seals). I was able to get the goshuin (red seal) for the Miroku-ji Temple ruins at Usa Shrine. (Original) 弥勒大仏ｻﾏがいらっしゃいました。 浄土真宗ｻﾝなので御朱印頒布ありません。 弥勒寺跡の御朱印は宇佐神宮ｻﾏで戴けました。

(Translated by Google) Mirokuji Temple, which was once located within Hachimangu Shrine, was torn apart and divided into nearby temples and shrines. One of them is here. It's a fine Buddha statue. (Original) かつて八幡宮内にあった弥勒寺がバラバラにされ近くの寺社に分割された。その一つがここ。立派な仏像です。

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine today. I was also grateful to be able to see the Amitabha Nyorai on the edge of Usamiya Mirokuji Temple, which is enshrined as the main image of the main hall, and the Maitreya Buddha (probably Tathagata), the main image of Mirokuji Temple. After all, it is made of dry lacquer and is badly damaged, so we are just waiting for it to be repaired. (Original) 本日参拝致しました。 本堂本尊として祀られている宇佐宮弥勒寺縁の阿弥陀如来さまと弥勒寺本尊の弥勒仏(恐らく如来さま)も拝めて有難かったです。 やっぱり乾漆造りで傷みもひどく修復を待つばかりです。

(Translated by Google) I came to the Doburoku Festival. There are very few shrines in Japan where everything from brewing to rituals is performed as a ritual, and famous ones include Shirakawa-go, a World Heritage Site. I wanted to preserve this kind of ritual for future generations, so I paid the firstfruits fee, which was a bit expensive, and received two doburoku (doburoku) and went home. Another thing to look for is treasure! A total of 6 types of chestnuts, ginkgo nuts, and beans, just like a jewelry box. The slight sweetness of the beans, chestnuts, and ginkgo nuts and the perfect amount of salt in the rice are irresistible. When I bought two packs and froze them for breakfast, I wondered why I hadn't bought more. I want to eat more of these treasures! (Original) どぶろく祭りに来ました。醸造から振る舞いまでを神事としてやっている神社は日本各地でも少なく、有名所では世界遺産の白川郷など。こういった神事は是非とも後世に残して頂きたいということで、ちょっとお高いけど初穂料を納めてどぶろく2つ頂いて帰りました。もう一つのお目当てはお宝めし！まさに宝石箱の如く栗に銀杏に豆々豆合計6種類。豆や栗、銀杏のほんのり甘さとご飯の絶妙な塩加減がたまらない。2パック買って冷凍して朝ごはんを食べたときに、なぜもっと買ってこなかったのか、と猛省。お宝めしもっと食べたい！

(Translated by Google) 2025.2.23 The garden was beautifully maintained! Chief priest absent It looked like it was probably not there except during festivals. (Original) 2025.2.23 庭が綺麗に手入れさせておりました！ 宮司さん不在 多分祭りの時以外は居ないような風情でした

(Translated by Google) The shrine is on the left side along Prefectural Route 31. Once you pass through the torii gate, you will see the guardian dogs and Nio statues that protect the enshrined deity, and then go up the stone steps to reach the worship hall. There are many guardian dogs dedicated to the temple grounds. Judging from its origin, it appears to be a shrine that has prospered and been maintained under the blessings of many feudal lords and other powerful people. The famous Doburoku Festival will probably be difficult as the region's population declines, but I hope it continues. (Original) 県道３１号沿い左側に神社はある。鳥居をくぐると御祭神を守護する狛犬、仁王像と続き、石段を上りきると拝殿がある。境内には狛犬が多く奉納されている。由来からすると多くの大名等有力者の加護のもと繁栄、維持されてきた神社のようだ。有名などぶろく祭りは、地域の人口減の中大変だろうけど、引き続いて欲しいものだ。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is known for its Doburoku Festival, one of Japan's most unusual festivals, which has continued for over 1,300 years since 710. It is a festival in which shrine parishioners offer doburoku, made by parishioners, to the gods in hopes of a good harvest and good health.During the festival, worshipers also offer them to the gods. Doburoku is only allowed to be brewed in a few places in Japan, and it's said to be the only one in Kyushu. It's such a sake shrine, but the deities enshrined are Qiongiki no Mikoto and Sarutahiko Okami. Anyway, it's quiet when there's no festival. It even feels like a sacred atmosphere. If you want to visit the shrine, I recommend going on a day other than the festival. (Original) 710年から1300年以上続く日本を代表する奇祭･どぶろく祭りで知られる神社。 五穀豊穣と無病息災を願い､氏子達が造ったどぶろくを神様に捧げる祭りだが期間中は参拝者にも振るわれる。 どぶろくの醸造は全国でも数ヶ所しか許されておらず、九州では唯一だとか…。 そんな酒の神社だけど御祭神は瓊瓊杵命と猿田彦大神とかなんですねw 何はともあれ祭りがない時は静かなもんです。 神聖な雰囲気すら感じます。 参拝するなら祭り以外の日に行く事をオススメします。

(Translated by Google) [Enshrined deities] Keisaki no Mikoto, Sarutahiko no Okami, Tenyu Ukeme no Mikoto, and 51 others It is a shrine that gives you a sense of style. There are a pair of Nio statues, perhaps a remnant of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. This is a humorous Nio statue that looks like two people performing a manzai act. At the Chozuya, you will be soothed by the carefree faces of the dragons. Under the sacred tree, I found a snake's corpse turned inside out. It is rare to encounter a snake in a sacred area, but in this case, since it was turned inside out, it looked like a white snake at first glance, so we interpreted it as a white snake encounter. (Original) 【 祭神 】瓊々杵尊・猿田彦大神・天宇受売命・他51柱 風格を感じさせる神社です。 神仏習合のなごりか、一対の仁王像があります。二人で漫才をしているかのような、ユーモラスな仁王像です。 手水舎では、龍の呑気そうな顔に癒されます。 御神木の下に、裏返しになった蛇の死骸を発見。神域で蛇に遭遇するのは珍しいのですが、この場合は裏返しになったことで一見すると白蛇に見えるので、白蛇に遭遇したと解釈しました。

(Translated by Google) There is a special festival held on October 17th and 18th every year! It was so much fun! Doburoku sake is sometimes spicy and sometimes sweet! I think it was interesting. On October 17-18th of each year this shrine has a special festival where they give sake away for free and it's a big party. (You can also purchase sake of course) if you like strange sakes and tasting Japanese culture I highly recommend this festival ! (Original) 毎年の10月17ー18日特別な祭りがあります！とれもたのしかったです！どぶろく酒は時々辛いと時々甘い！面白かったと思います。 On October 17-18th of each year this shrine has a special festival where they give sake away for free and it’s a big party. (You can also purchase sake of course) if you like strange sakes and tasting Japanese culture I highly recommend this festival!

(Translated by Google) This is a very quiet and cozy shrine. You can worship slowly Apparently the Doburoku Festival is famous. (Original) とても静かで居心地の良い神社です ゆっくり参拝できる どぶろく祭りが有名らしいです

I went to the spot with the google. But there was a construction so I couldn't see the spot.

Lacking in the Japanese park.

(Translated by Google) Free admission This is also a place where shell digging is also carried out. There is a charge for digging shellfish. Depending on the time of year, long-eared owls can be seen lurking, so those with good eyesight can spot them. The beach is shallow, the visibility is good, the soil and sand are soft, and the entire park area is fenced, so it's unlikely that you'll get lost or wander off. Points to note There is a possibility of injury due to a lot of floating debris. Snakes are rarely seen. Basically, you can't handle fire. The park is a bit athletic, so it's dangerous at heights, but I think it can be prevented if someone is there with an adult. There are no trash cans, so you basically have to take your food home with you. If you include the beach, park, and clam hunting, it's quite a large park. We are not sure if camping is possible, but please contact Usa City Hall. (Original) 入園無料 貝掘りなども行われている場所です。貝掘りは有料です。 時期によっては極稀にミミズクフクロウが潜んでいますので目が良い人は見つける事ができます。 海辺は浅く見通しも良く土や砂が柔らかいのと公園一帯はフェンスで囲われていますので迷子や逸れるといった事は少ないと思います。 注意点しては 漂流物が多く怪我をする可能性があること。 蛇を稀に見かける事があります。 火は基本的に扱えません。 少し公園がアスレチックになっていますので高所での危険ですが誰か大人がいれば防げるとは思います。 後はゴミ箱が無いので基本はお持ち帰りです。 浜辺、公園、潮干狩りを合わせれば相当広い公園です。 キャンプは可能かどうかは分かりませんが宇佐市役所にお問い合わせ下さい。

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot and a toilet. In spring, you can dig for shellfish. You can dig for shellfish by paying a beach entry fee of 700 yen/person. (Original) 駐車場あり、トイレあり。春は貝掘りが出来ます。入浜料を700円/人支払い、貝掘りが出来ます。

(Translated by Google) I always play on the rocks. That said, there are few rocks and the coast is shallow, so at low tide I find crabs and hermit crabs and dig in the sand. There are toilets and washing areas nearby, so it's not a problem even if you get covered in sand. I've had my tent blown away by the wind before, so setting up a rest area requires some ingenuity. (Original) いつも磯遊びをします。といっても岩場は少なく、遠浅の海岸なので引き潮時にカニやヤドカリを見つけたり、砂浜を掘ったりして遊びます。 近くにトイレと水洗い場が整備されているので、砂だらけになっても安心です。 テントを風に飛ばされたことがありますので、休憩所の設置は一工夫必要です。

(Translated by Google) [A great rest spot for trips, drives, and touring] Gazing out at the ocean is calming and relaxing. 😊 The paved parking lot and restrooms are also available. Why not stop by for a breather or rest stop during your trip, drive, or touring? (Original) 【旅行やドライブ、ツーリングの休憩スポットとして】 海をじっくり眺めていると、気分が落ち着き、リラックスできます😊 舗装された駐車場に、お手洗いも完備されています。 旅行やドライブ、ツーリングの合間の息抜き、休憩スポットとして立ち寄ってはいかがでしょうか？

(Translated by Google) I came to collect clams, and I was able to catch more randomly sized clams than last year (March). The further out I went (about 4 or 5 islands?), the more there were more and more fun. Please note that if you take more than a full basket of clams, you will be charged for that amount. You may not be able to catch many clams, so if you go there, I think it's better to go for the mate shells (you'll need smooth salt and a special digging tool that allows you to clearly see the hole when digging). Also, horseshoe crabs like the one pictured in the photo (in May) are rare in the offshore. (Original) 潮干狩りに来ましたが前年より（3月）ランダムな大きさのあさりがとれました。 マテ貝は沖（島4つか5つ分？）の方に行けば行くほどいっぱいいて楽しかったです。 あさりをかごいっぱい以上とり過ぎるとその分料金取られるので注意。 アサリはあまり捕れない場合があるので行く場合マテ貝目当てで行った方がいいと思う（※サラサラの塩と掘った時穴がくっきり見えるような専用の掘る道具が必要）です。 また沖の方には（5月）写真のようなカブトガニも稀にいるようです。

If you are interested in local history, this is quite old, the mountain walk was steep but ropes are provided, interesting rock formations, take a drink and food with you. Two hour twenty minutes return walk.

(Translated by Google) It suddenly appears right next to the road. Access is easy. It seems that you can see more megaliths as you climb the mountain, but we didn't have time and only looked at the stone circle at the entrance. I was a little horrified. It's very mysterious. It's from the Yayoi period. (Original) 車道の真横に急に出現します。アクセスは楽です。山を登るとさらにたくさんの巨石が見られるようですが、時間がなく入り口のストーンサークルだけ見ました。ちょっとゾッとしました。すごく神秘的です。弥生時代のものなんですね。

(Translated by Google) A historic site with huge stones with a strong presence. There is a parking lot with a vending machine and restroom pavilion right across the road. Last time I stopped by during an autumn history tour, this time the weeping cherry blossoms were beautiful. There are many mysterious megalith spots on the mountainside of Mt. Yonegami, and the stone circle at the top of the mountain is also famous as a power spot. There is also Sada Onsen nearby, so it might be a good idea to take a relaxing soak in the hot springs after climbing. The recommended period for climbing is after the Megalithic Festival (March). The grass has been mowed, so it's easy to walk on, and the stones are clearly visible without being hidden by the bushes. (Original) 存在感のある巨石達の佇む史跡。道路を挟んだすぐ横に自動販売機お手洗い東屋のある駐車場があります。前回は秋の歴史ツアーの途中に寄りましたが、今回は枝垂れ桜が綺麗でした。 不思議な巨石スポットはこの米神山の山腹にいくつもあり山頂のストーンサークルはパワースポットとしても有名なようです。 近くに佐田温泉もありますので登山の後に湯にゆっくり浸かるのも良いかもしれません。登山おすすめ期間は巨石祭開催の（3月）後。草刈りが行われているので歩き易く石もヤブに隠れず良く見れるものと思われます。

(Translated by Google) It is one of the megalithic groups dotted around Mt. Yonekami. It's easily accessible, and there are parking lots and restrooms, so it's convenient for walking around the area. (Original) 米神山に点在する巨石群の一つです。アクセスも良く、駐車場やトイレも在るので、周辺散策にも便利です。

(Translated by Google) The "Sadakyo Stone" in Yonekamiyama, Ajimu-cho, is a very interesting example of an unsolved stone circle. 1. Features of the Sadakyo Stone: • The Sadakyo Stone is a stone circle with nine giant stones, each 2 to 3 meters high. These stones are said to be the prototype of ancient ritual sites and torii gates, but their purpose and background are not yet clear. 2. Legends of Mysterious Powers: • There are stories that when you approach the stone circle, you can feel a mysterious power, and it has a mysterious atmosphere. In particular, there is a legend about the "Koshiki Stone" among the stones, and it is said that if you remove the lid, you will be hit by a storm. 3. Legends and Local Culture: • There is a mysterious legend about this place that is passed down to the local people, and the atmosphere seems to be transmitted to tourists as well. This stone circle is a place whose mystery has yet to be solved, and it has a deep influence on the history and culture of the region. (Original) 安心院町米神山の「佐田京石」は、未解明のストーンサークルの一例として非常に興味深い場所です。 1. 佐田京石の特徴: •佐田京石は、9本の高さ2〜3メートルの巨石が並ぶストーンサークルです。これらの石は、太古の祭祀場や鳥居の原型とも言われていますが、その目的や背景については全く解明されていません。 2. 不思議な力の伝承: • 近づくと、不思議な力を感じるという話もあり、神秘的な雰囲気が漂っています。特に、石群の中の「こしき石」には言い伝えがあり、その蓋を取ると暴風雨に襲われると言われています。 3. 伝説と地域の文化: • この場所には、地元の人々に伝わる神秘的な言い伝えがあり、観光客にもその雰囲気が伝わっているようです。 このストーンサークルは、未だにその謎を解明することができず、地域の歴史や文化に深い影響を与えている場所です。

(Translated by Google) The ruins are located in front of the parking lot that also serves as the trailhead for Mt. Yonekami. A toilet is also available. There is a large parking lot and the surrounding area is very quiet, so some people may be taking a nap. It's a mountain I'm interested in, so I'd like to climb it next time. There are many sights to see along the mountain trail. I'd like to go around it all the way around. (Original) 遺跡は米神山の登山口を兼ねた駐車場の目の前にあります。 トイレも完備されています。駐車場も広く周辺はとても静かですので昼寝している人もいます。 気になっている山ですので今度登ってみたいですね。登山道沿いにも見どころがたくさんあります。一周ぐるりと周遊してみたいです。

(Translated by Google) I think it was an ancient ritual site, but not on a very large scale. If it were a large regional ritual site, later generations would probably build a shrine there and it would become the object of worship for the shrine. It does not have a sacred area like Omoto Shrine, and my impression is that it is a small-scale ritual site that was lost as stories were passed down. I also climbed Mt. Yonegami, and in the central area there are lots of megaliths of this size. The pillars are just erected from whatever was available on site, so I don't think it was that difficult to make. I feel a little embarrassed to make a big fuss about everything and talk about it in the same league as the world-famous stone circles. There are many similar megalithic worship sites in Oita, so I recommend you visit the others as well. (Original) 古代の祭祀場ではあると思いますが、そんなに大規模なものではないと思います。 大規模な地域の祭祀場であれば後の世代が社を作り神社のご神体のようになるのではないでしょうか。 大元神社のような神域があるわけではなく、なんとなく語り継がれて行くうちに失われた小規模な祭祀跡といった印象です。 米神山にも登りましたが、中域はこのくらいの巨石はゴロゴロしています。 立柱もその場にあった物を立てただけでそんなに難しい加工だとは思いません。 なんでもかんでも大げさに世界有名ストーンサークルと同じ土俵で語るのはなんだか小っ恥ずかしい限りだと思います。 これくらいの巨石信仰跡は大分にはたくさんありますので、是非他も巡ってみてください。

(Translated by Google) A side cave-style tumulus located along the Yamakuni River. Town-designated historical site. It is said to have been built at the end of the Kofun period, and was carved into the terrace cliff of a sandstone river terrace. It is interesting that 49 side cave tombs have been confirmed, and that there are many holes cut into the cliff. There is space for several cars in the parking lot. You can tour for free. (Original) 山国川沿いにある横穴式の古墳。 町指定史跡。 古墳時代末期に造られたといわれ、砂岩質の河岸段丘の段丘崖に掘られています。 49基の横穴墓が確認されていて、崖にいくつもの穴が開けられているのは興味深いです。 駐車場は数台停められるスペースあり。 無料で見学できます。

(Translated by Google) The location is Hyakuru Yokoana Tomb District, which stands along the Yamakuni River, almost on the border between Fukuoka and Oita prefectures. It is said that this tomb was built during the Kofun period about 1,500 years ago. (*Currently there is nothing but a hole) The parking lot can accommodate about 3 regular cars. It is called 100 holes because it has multiple holes. Speaking of Hyakana, Yoshimi Hyakana (used to be called Hyakketsu, but now also called Hyakuana) in Saitama Prefecture is famous. This Hyakana spreads horizontally, but Yoshimi Hyakana also spreads horizontally and vertically. I think the idea of ​​a grave is the same. Maybe there is some connection. If you are interested, please come and visit us. (Original) 場所は福岡県と大分県のほぼ県境、山国川沿い側にポツンとそびえる百留横穴墓郡。約1500年前の古墳時代に作られたお墓と言われています。（※今は穴だけで何もありません） 駐車場は普通車3台程度停められます。 穴が複数あることから百穴と呼ぶそうな。百穴といえば埼玉県の吉見百穴（昔はヒャッケツと呼びましたが今はヒャクアナとも呼ぶ）が有名ですね。 こちらの百穴は横に広がってますが吉見百穴は横と縦方向にも広がってます。お墓としての考えは同様と思います。何か繋がりがあるのかもしれませんね。 興味がある方はぜひ訪れてみてください。

(Translated by Google) The tomb is said to be about 1,500 years old, and it's located on a slightly higher ground on a back road, so it's easy to overlook it, but the number of side caves is truly impressive. Personally, since it's a grave, I didn't go deep into it, so I took photos from a distance. I am deeply moved when I think of the wonderful scenery overlooking the plains (at the time, the sea?) in front of which the people of ancient times were resting. Please don't make fun of us, just take a look around😊 (Original) 約1,500年前の墳墓だそうで、裏道のまた少し高台にあるので、つい見過ごしてしまいがちですが、その横穴の数ときたら圧巻です。個人的にはお墓なので深くは立ち入らず、写真も遠目に写させていただきました。 平野(当時は海？)を見渡す素晴らしい景色を前に古の方々がお休みになっていたんだなぁと思うと感慨深いものがあります。 どうぞ、冷やかしではなく、そっとご見学くださいますように😊

(Translated by Google) It was an ancient tomb that looked like an air raid shelter! There were holes that were separated one by one, and holes that were connected like a maze, so I couldn't get enough of it! It was helpful to have a parking lot. (Original) 防空壕のような古墳でした！１つひとつ区切ってある穴と、迷路のように繋がっている穴もあり見ててあきませんでした！駐車場もあって助かりました。

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot and it is surrounded by nature. (Original) 駐車場あり、自然に恵まれているから。

(Translated by Google) [Access] ※※※Very important※※※ When specifying a route with "Ryogo Rice Terraces" as a destination on Google Maps, be sure to specify "Yo Onsen" as a waypoint. If you specify the route directly to ``Ryogo Rice Terraces'' as your destination, you will enter the side road after passing ``Kifune Shrine (Plains)''. This road passes from Gokuraku-ji Temple to Ayo-no-taki and heads towards Ryogo Rice Terraces, but it is a very narrow road that does not allow you to separate from the rice terraces at all along the way. If an oncoming vehicle comes, it will be fatal. If you specify ``Yo Onsen'' as a waypoint, you can head to ``Ryogo Rice Terraces'' via another route that can be separated. By the way, if you want to go to Yo-no-taki, please note that you will need to specify the route on Google Maps so that you can head to the Yo-no-taki parking lot beyond Yo Onsen. [Review] *This is the normal review* [Visit date, on-site access] Well, I stopped by on November 16, 2022. In the above-mentioned access, we directly specified the Ryogo rice terraces, so we had a very difficult time getting there. Please be careful as this is a really deadly road. When you arrive, you will find a public rest area and restroom downstairs. There are roads on both sides of the rest area that lead up to the rice terraces. There is only one parking space in the middle of the road where you can make a U-turn. Be sure to park there and enjoy the rice terraces. If you go too far, you will have a hard time because there is no place to make a U-turn. *There is no guide to the parking space, so if you think you can make a U-turn here, that's the parking space. [Landscape/Ryoaikawa Bridge] This is a very quiet rice terrace in the mountains. Although the location was not the best in terms of the time and date I visited, I think it is a good rice terrace. It is approximately 4ha in size and consists of approximately 120 rice terraces. It was selected as one of Japan's top 100 rice terraces in 1999. A river flows between the two villages, and terraced rice fields spread out on the steep slopes on both sides. Although the population of both villages is declining and aging, they continue to cultivate rice using traditional hanging methods to preserve the landscape. The stone bridge ``Ryoai River Bridge'' spans the river that flows through the rice terraces, and it seems to be one of the famous spots. The Ryoai River Bridge is located a little above the rest area, and you can walk up it from the rest area. Next time I would like to visit during the Instagram-worthy period. (Original) 【アクセス】※※※超重要※※※ GoogleMapで『両合棚田』を目的地としてルート指定する際は、必ず経由地に『余温泉』を指定して下さい。 もし、直接『両合棚田』を目的地としてルート指定すると『貴船神社（平原）』を超えたあたりから側道に入ります。 この道は『極楽寺』→『余の滝』のすぐ脇を通り『両合棚田』に向かいますが、途中全く離合出来ない非常に細い道になっています。対向車が来たら致命的な事になります。 経由地に『余温泉』を指定すると離合可能な別の道を経由して『両合棚田』に向かうことが出来ます。 ちなみに『余の滝』に行きたい場合も余温泉の先にある余の滝の駐車場に向かうようにGoogleMapではルート指定する必要があるので、注意しましょう。 【口コミ】※ここから普通の口コミです※ 【訪問日、現地でのアクセス】 さて2022年11月16日に立ち寄りました。 上述のアクセスで、直接両合棚田を指定したため、非常に苦労して到着することになりました。本当に致命的な道なので注意して下さい。到着すると下の方に公共の休憩所兼お手洗いが準備されています。休憩所の両サイドに棚田に向かって登ぼっていく車道があります。 どちらの車道も道の途中に1箇所だけUターン可能な駐車スペースがあります。そこで必ず駐車して棚田を楽しんで下さい。 そこを行き過ぎるとUターン可能な場所がないので苦労します。 ※駐車スペースに案内はないので、ああここならUターンできそうだなとおもったらそれが駐車スベースです。 【景観/両合川橋】 非常に長閑な山間の棚田です。 私が訪れた時期や時間的には最高とはいえないロケーションでしたが、良い棚田だと思います。 およそ4ha、約120枚の棚田で構成されています。 1999年に日本の棚田百選に選定されたようです。 2つの集落の間に川が流れその両側の急斜面に棚田が広がっています。両集落ともに人口減少や高齢化が進んでいますが、昔ながらの掛け干しによる稲作を続け景観を守っているとのことです。 棚田を流れる川に石橋の『両合川橋』が架かっていて、名所のひとつになっているようです。 なお、両合川橋は休憩所の少し上のところで、休憩所から歩いて登ります。 次回はインスタ映えする時期に訪問したいなと思いました。

(Translated by Google) The route from Amaru Falls is extremely narrow, with long stretches of road making it difficult for other vehicles to pass each other. When I went, a rotten tree had broken and was covering the road, and although my car was able to pass, the antenna on its roof was hit and broken. I'm not sure if it's worth going. I think it's much easier and more pleasant to go to Uchinari Rice Terraces. The road running through the rice terraces is also very narrow, and there are only a few places where you can turn, so I recommend checking carefully. Looking at Google Maps, the Ryogo Rice Terraces Rest Area appears to be well maintained, but overall it cannot be said to be in good condition. (Original) 余りの滝からのルートは非常に狭くて離合できないような道が長く続きます。私が行ったときは朽ちた木が折れて道路に被さっており、車体は通れたもののルーフのアンテナが当たって折れました。 行く価値はどうでしょうねぇ。内成棚田へ行く方がずっと気楽で観やすいと思います。棚田を走る道路も非常に狭く、方向転換できる場所も限られているので注意して確認しておくことをお勧めします。Googleマップで見ると両合棚田 休憩所がよく整備されているように見えますが、全体的には整備されているとは言えません。

(Translated by Google) You have to be prepared to walk quite a narrow path to get here. However, once you pass through it, you will come across some magnificent rice terraces. I think it would be a good idea to combine this with the waterfall and Yu Onsen on your way here. There is no parking space in the rice terraces. Please park where it won't get in the way. (Original) ココに来るまでには結構な細道を覚悟しなければなりません。ですがそれを抜けると立派な棚田に遭遇します。ココに来る途中の滝、余温泉とセットで観光するといいと思います。 棚田には駐車スペースはありません。あまり邪魔にならないようなところに停めてください。

(Translated by Google) These are rice terraces in a small village in the mountains. Although there are no more rice plants planted there, the stone walls and green grass create a beautiful landscape that looks just like the ruins of Machu Picchu. (Original) 山間にある小さな集落の棚田です。もう稲は植えてありませんが石垣と緑の草がとても素晴らしい風景でまるでマチュピチュにある遺跡みたいです。

(Translated by Google) In the past, people cherished farmland. For generations, they have cultivated small, narrow rice fields by plowing the steep slopes and piling up stones. The beautiful scenery has been preserved for a long time. However, as depopulation has progressed in recent years, it has become difficult to make a living on rice and wheat, and many young people have left the countryside, and abandoned farmland can now be seen here and there, overgrown with grass. When you stand here, you can see the original scenery of Japan, and at the same time you can see the reality. (We recommend visiting in autumn when the golden ears of rice are ripening) (Original) 昔の人は農地を大事にしてきた。傾斜の急な斜面をコツコツと耕し石を積み上げて、幅がせまくて細長い小さな田んぼを何枚も何代にもわたって耕してきた。美しい景観が長い間保たれてきた。しかし近年過疎化が進み、米麦では生活が難しくなって若者の多くは田舎を離れ、あちこちに草ぼうぼうの耕作放棄地が見られるようになった。此処に立つと日本の原風景を見ると同時に現実をも見えてしまう。(秋の黄金の稲穂が実るころがおすすめです)

(Translated by Google) I saw it in the fresh greenery. I also like the scenery of rice terraces. Ishibashi is also small! good! (Original) 新緑の中、見てきました。 棚田の風景も好きです。 石橋もこじんまり！良いですね！

(Translated by Google) It is a small but beautiful terraced rice field. The road to get here is narrow and difficult. (Original) 狭いながらも美しい棚田です。ここの来るまでの道が狭くて厳しいですね。

(Translated by Google) According to the map, it looks like you can get there from Route 42, but you can only get there by stairs. The car needs to turn a little away from the Shinkai River and go past the Ajimu Soft-shelled Turtle Center along the river. There is also a parking space under Route 42. The Magaibutsu statue is located in front of the torii gate, and there are about 10 statues in total, centering around Fudo Myoo. Although it is close to the road, it is in relatively good condition and the face of the statue can be identified. Although it is a shallow carving method called half-carving, the shape remains firmly. (Original) 地図ですと４２号線から行けそうですが、階段でしか行けません。車は新貝川から少し離れたところから曲がって、川沿いの安心院すっぽんセンターの先に行く必要があります。そこは４２号線の下で駐車スペースもあります。 磨崖仏は鳥居の先にあり、不動明王を中心にして全１０体ほどが描かれています。道の近くですが保存状態は比較的良好で像の顔の判別ができます。半肉彫りという浅い彫り方ですが、しっかりと形状が残っています。

(Translated by Google) #Magaibutsu This is a very wonderful Buddha statue. It had a sacred atmosphere and was very nice. However, even though there are such wonderful cultural assets, trees and plants have been left largely untouched. I don't think it would have been this bad if the city government had done more to protect it. It is unfortunate that there is no concept of preserving cultural properties. I would like Usa City to take a little more care of its cultural assets. (Original) #磨崖仏 とても素晴らしい磨崖仏です。神聖な雰囲気もしていてとても良かったです。ただこんな素晴らしい文化財があるのに樹木や植物などかなり放置したまま。市政がもっと保護していていたならここまで悪くはなかったと思います。文化財を保存という観念がないのが残念です。宇佐市にはもう少し文化財を大切にしてもらいたいです。

(Translated by Google) It is a carved stone Buddha with shallow carvings. I think it would be a good idea to cut the grass around it. It seems that in the past it was possible to go inside, but now it is prohibited to enter due to the risk of collapse. (Original) 彫りが浅い磨崖仏です。周辺の草を刈るといいと思います。昔は奥に入れたようですが、今は崩落の危険性があるため立ち入り禁止になっています。

(Translated by Google) You can walk from Suspension Bridge Park, but as of November 2023, there is a large hornet's nest in Yakushido, so I think it is better not to go for a walk or sightseeing. The arrangement of the three temples is also nice. The Kannon-do Hall at the very back has an unusual structure. (Original) 吊り橋公園から歩いていけますが、その先の薬師堂には2023年11月現在大きなスズメバチの巣がありますので散策や観光でいかないほうがいいと思います。3つのお堂の配置もいいですね。一番奥の観音堂は珍しい造りです。

(Translated by Google) The water basin is a valve-operated type. I put in some offerings and, while I was there, bought a traffic safety talisman. The stairs are mossy and slippery, so please hold the handrail and proceed carefully. The hall is unusually constructed, as if it were wedged into a cave, and the pillars at the front are very impressive. Please note that shoes are not permitted inside the hall. And the view from the hall is spectacular. Here, I'll find peace of mind, reflect on myself, and deepen my sense of compassion. Further along the walking trail, I'll find Yakushiji Temple, the hand-carved tunnel, and the group of tunnel tombs. There's a large hornet's nest at Yakushiji Temple, but it appears to have disappeared, so don't worry. (Original) 手水はバルブを開いて出すタイプ お賽銭を入れ、せっかくなので交通安全のお札を購入しておいた。 階段は苔むして滑りやすいので手摺を持って注意して進んでほしい 珍しい作りの堂であり、岩穴に押し込まれた感じで、前面の支柱がとても印象的だ お堂は土足禁止なので注意して欲しい。 そしてお堂からの眺めは素晴らしい。 ココで心安らかにし自己を見つめ慈悲の心を深めてみよう。 遊歩道の先に薬師寺や手彫りのトンネル、横穴墓群がある 先の薬師寺には大きなスズメバチの巣があるが、どうやら滅亡している様子なので安心して欲しい。
