Fukuyama, Japan skyline: the 36 most iconic buildings and best views in Fukuyama

Worth the visit. Just right outside fukuyama station. You can visit inside the castle for 500 yen. Great view of Fukuyama city on top of the castle.

Fukuyama Castle – A Rebuilt Legacy with Panoramic Views Located just a short walk from Fukuyama Station in Hiroshima Prefecture, Fukuyama Castle is a striking reminder of Japan’s feudal past. Though much of the original structure was lost during World War II, the main keep (tenshukaku) has been carefully reconstructed and stands today as a proud symbol of the city’s history, resilience, and cultural heritage. Originally built in 1622 by Mizuno Katsunari, a cousin of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Fukuyama Castle was a strategically important stronghold during the Edo period. Its reconstruction in 1966 restored much of its former glory, and recent renovations have further enhanced the experience for visitors. The elegant white façade of the keep, flanked by stone walls and cherry trees, is especially beautiful during spring when the blossoms bloom across the castle grounds. Inside, the castle houses a museum offering exhibits on the local samurai culture, weaponry, armor, and the castle’s own tumultuous history. Displays are modern and informative, with English signage available for most exhibits. From the top floor, panoramic views stretch out over Fukuyama city and the surrounding area, offering a lovely reward for the climb. The surrounding Fukuyama Castle Park is a favorite among locals for walking, picnicking, and seasonal festivals. It’s especially popular during cherry blossom season, when the area transforms into a lively and photogenic hanami spot. Fukuyama Castle may not have the same name recognition as Himeji or Osaka, but it offers a quieter, more local experience steeped in history and charm. For travelers exploring the Chugoku region—or anyone passing through Fukuyama—it’s well worth a stop.

What a beautiful castle. Wasn’t crowded at all. The interior is surprisingly updated with an elevator and air conditioning. Lots of nice displays and the huge garden is absolutely fantastic. Koi ponds, huge statues and bonsai. Definitely worth visiting if you’re headed towards Himeji which is about 40 minutes away by Shinkansen. Castle is white in the front and black in the rear. Nice place!

Stunning castle in Fukuyama, worth the trip. Inside there is a small shooting gallery, sort of.

Fukuyama Castle is a beautiful and historic site that you should definitely visit. The castle's construction is impressive. Whenever you're in the area, make sure to go and enjoy exploring this remarkable piece of history!

Wow, what a beautiful castle. I'm so glad I took the time to go to Fukuyama. Beautiful castle full of beautiful rooms and amazing culture. The top of the castle with such amazing views... wow!! Definitely a place to visit. The garden right next door to the castle is absolutely breathtaking. Definitely go see both!

Lovely spot to visit, didn’t have time to check out the inside but wandering around and taking in the castle & gardens was very pleasant.

A Park Where Stillness Speaks Tucked away from the city’s rhythm, this park doesn’t ask for attention—it offers quiet instead. Shaded paths, gentle water, and the hush of wind through leaves create a space where your thoughts can slow down and settle. It’s not grand, not crowded—just calm. A place where time stretches, and silence feels like a companion. If you’re looking for peace, not spectacle, this is where you’ll find it.

Lovely relaxing spot to visit. There were very few people there when we visited mid-week. Took a bus to and from Fukuyama station, which took about 40mins. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby and lots of other interesting places to visit within walking distance.

I super love this place , Very old town and i feel back in an old era, during my visit to this town in May of this year 2023 , i feel happy walking alone and the place is realy refreshing, maybe one of the oldest town in Japan, if you want far from husstle city this town is for you, there are lots of things to do in this place while walking you will see those restaurant , the famous ice cream shop with fresh mochi, the Fuku zenji, and many more During my visit its cold weather with shower

Calm and secluded area. Very quiet fishing port, bus ride is definitely long enough for you to catch a short nap from hiroshima station. Shops was mostly closed when I went not sure if there was any special occasion and most shops were closed during the day. But a few restaurants are opened, definitely do try them out!

A good weekend visits or even a night stay at this beautiful town by the bay.

A very pleasant, small fishing town on the Seto Inland Sea

I was so amazed of how the locals and the government were able to maintain the place as though you are walking on history. You can feel the ancient culture,, the atmosphere of years past.. Highly recommended..

I love museum 🖼️🎨

Nice place ….

Nice view 🌅

Nice area

Nice building ok exhibition

Got accused of taking photos when I was just Google searching information about the paintings because the information under the paintings is only in Japanese. that was a really disappointing experience and a huge vibe kill.

(Translated by Google) This is a municipal art museum located on the grounds of Fukuyama Castle. You can see the beautiful Fukuyama Castle tower from the main entrance. When I visited, the museum was hosting the "Masterpieces from the Geidai Museum of Art" exhibition, and I was moved by the wonderful works. The staff were kind and polite, and I felt really welcomed. However, it's a shame there isn't a museum shop. So I'm giving it one minus ⭐️🤭 (Original) 福山城の敷地内にある市立美術館です。 正面玄関から、美しい福山城天守閣が見えます。 訪れたときは「藝大美術館の名品展」を催していて、その素晴らしい作品に感動しました。 スタッフも親切且つ丁寧で、歓迎されていると感じました。 ただ、ミュージアムショップがないのが残念。 そこで⭐️1つマイナスです🤭

(Translated by Google) A very nice little place to rest in sunny weather, I stayed on the beach for a while, it was very pleasant and the boat only cost 240 yen round trip. It's a shame that the hike is closed, apart from the beach, there are no other activities but it's very relaxing and pretty. (Original) Un très joli petit coin pour se reposer en temps de soleil, je suis restée un moment sur la plage, c’était très agréable et le bateau ne coûtait que 240 yens aller retour. C’est dommage que la randonnée soit fermée, mis à part la plage, il n’y a pas d’autres activités mais c’est très reposant et joli.

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekend afternoon in May, and it was raining, so there were no people around, and it felt like a deserted island. The promenade along the coast was still closed due to a landslide. (May 2025) (Original) 5月の週末昼訪問で雨天だからか人影なく無人島的体験。海岸沿いの遊歩道はいまだに崖崩れ通行止めになってました。(2025.5)

(Translated by Google) We took the ferry here for a stroll. Since it was cloudy and almost dusk, it was fun to take advantage of the opportunity to wander around. There are restrooms and a rest area and smoking area at the ferry terminal, so even if the weather wasn't great, it was still a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Actually, a full circumnavigation of the island would probably take half a day to reach the top, but I didn't have that much time, so I just enjoyed the island's fascinating scenery and created some wonderful memories! (Original) 搭渡輪過來逛逛，因是陰天而且已近黃昏，把握時間小晃一下也是很有情趣，這裡有洗手間、渡口有休息間吸菸區，就算天氣沒很好，玩的也是輕鬆愉快。 其實真要環島可能要撥個半天爬到頂，我沒這多時間所以就淺嚐一下這有趣的島嶼風光，也留下美好回憶！

(Translated by Google) I visited Sensuijima to participate in an event in Tomonoura. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to arrive from Okayama. There are about 3 ferries every hour, and a round trip for adults costs 240 yen. Everyone visiting the island seemed to like power spots, and even though it was December, the weather was very nice, so people were going barefoot at the beach, putting their feet in the sea, and being earthed! Unfortunately, there was a fire in the bathroom a few days ago, so I wasn't able to use it. The road leading to Goshikiiwa was closed due to falling rocks. I had heard that you can go around the area in an hour, but I was pretty relaxed and the hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye, so if I can take a bath again and go to Goshikiiwa, I can easily spend half a day there. It felt like We walked around Senningaoka and then rode on the back of a dragon. Although it was a shame that the road was closed, I felt that spending time relaxing by myself was a luxury, and I would like to go to Mt. Omi in clothes that allow me to move more easily next time. There were some anglers, “At night, things are completely different.” I was talking. I was told that I could catch squid... It is said that the power of Sensuijima increases greatly during the full moon... I would like to go again on a full moon day! (Original) 鞆の浦でのイベントに参加するため、仙酔島を訪れました。 岡山から1時間15分程で到着しました。 フェリーは1時間に３本ほど出ていて、往復大人は240円です。 島を訪れている皆さん、パワースポット好きな方ばかりの様で、12月でしたがとてもいいお天気だったので、海水浴場で裸足になって海に足をつけてアーシングされていました！ 残念な事にお風呂が数日前に火事になった様で、入れなかったです。 そして、落石で五色岩方面へ続く道が通行止めになっていました。 1時間で回れると聞いていたのですが、結構のんびりしてたらあっという間に1時間半は経っていたので、お風呂が再開して、五色岩の方にも行けたら割と半日過ごせる感じでした。 仙人ヶ丘を歩き、その後龍の背中に乗せていただきました。 通行止めは残念でしたが、1人でのんびりと過ごす時間は贅沢で今度はもっと動ける服装で大弥山に行きたいなと思いました。 釣り人が何人かおられ、 「夜はまた様子が全然違う」 と話していました。イカが釣れたり…との事。 満月は仙酔島のパワーがすごく高まるとか… 満月の日に再び行ってみたいです！

(Translated by Google) 2023.12.26 A remote island that can be reached by boat in just 5 minutes. Unless you live on an island or are a remote island geek, people today don't often have the opportunity to ride a boat, so I hope they can enjoy a cruise where riding is an attraction. According to Wikipedia, Sensuijima is 6 km in circumference and although some people commute to hotels on the island, it is an uninhabited island with no permanent residents. You can see the townscape of Tomonoura from the highest peak, Mt. From the pier, we climbed up to Mt. Omi via Tomonoura Beach, played at the observation deck, and then came back down using the same route, a hike that took about an hour and a half. I also wanted to go to Goshiki Rock, but the promenade was closed and I couldn't get close. (Original) 2023.12.26 僅か5分の船旅で行ける離島。島住まいや離島オタクでもない限り、船に乗る機会が少ない現代人には乗ることがアトラクションの船旅を楽しんでもらいたい。 ウィキペディアによると、仙酔島は周囲6kmで島内のホテルへ通勤する人がいるが、定住者のいない無人島になっている。最高峰の大弥山からは鞆の浦の町並みを望むことができる。 船着き場から鞆の浦海水浴場経由で大弥山まで登って、展望台で遊んだあと同じルートで降りてきて、1時間半ほどのハイキングだった。五色岩にも行きたかったが、遊歩道が通行止めで近づくことができなかった。

(Translated by Google) A very cute little island, easily accessible by ferry from Tomonoura, but with all the coastal paths closed following landslides and the campsite closed, the island takes on the appearance of an abandoned island. (Original) Petite île très mignonne, accessible facilement en ferry depuis Tomonoura, mais avec tous les sentiers côtiers fermés suite à des éboulements et le camping fermé, l'île prend des allures d'île abandonné.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful view, an island fit for a hermit to get drunk This is the third time the island is at high tide, so the promenade is submerged. I had to turn back halfway through. When there are many tourists, the big Irohamaru, this time There aren't many, so use a smaller ferry boat. Arrive in about 5 minutes from Tomonoura Port Ideal for tourist information as a set with Tomonoura sightseeing No matter how many times I come here, I am healed by this view. (Original) 素晴らしい眺め 仙人が酔うにふさわしい島 今回３度目　島は満潮時の為　遊歩道が浸かり 途中で引き返す事になりました。 観光客が多い時は　大きないろは丸　今回は 少ないので小さい方の渡し舟 鞆の浦港から約5分で到着 鞆の浦観光とセットで観光案内には最適 何度来てもこの景色に癒されます。

Enchanting! A must-visit temple whenever you are in the southern part of Fukuyama.. one of my best cycling experiences.. on top of a cliff with a fantastic view all around!

Great little Shrine.

Small temple but good view. Suggest to go here during week days because fewer visitors.

Pls don't visit this remote location unless you have a private transport. The bus only travel couple of times a day. And you be stuck in a remote location that take 2hrs to travel and 5mins to visit. The shrine is quite unique but I feel a total visit of time. Not worth the travel.

Few buses if you plan to do day tour. The bus passes every 50mins or 1hr It’s worth the visit. 100 yen to enter Peaceful great history and awesome views

It’s breathtaking! Love it.

Tiny peaceful place !

A funky little museum covering mostly cars and then clocks after. Was fun being able to get into the cars as well, seeing how uncomfortable and difficult to get they were back in history. The odd few wax models of particular characters there. I’d say worth going if you’re really into cars, otherwise won’t be much time spent here.

Wild I came upon this place by chance just randomly looking on Google maps. Never heard of it before, but so glad I made the walk over. They have a bit of everything old and vintage. Cars, planes, military equipment, old machinery, clocks, etc. The best part is that they let you interact with the exhibits. Machines can be cranked and cars can be sat in. Their phamplet says they believe that history should be interacted with and not be something left in the past. Will things get worn out quicker? Almost certainly. But it definitely was an amazing experience being able to actually sit in the driver's seat. Definitely a must do in fukuyama!

Truly impressive! Hopped a quick shin from iwakuni to Fukuyama, walked about 10 minutes and literally found myself in heaven! As an amateur horologist, aviation and automobile enthusiast this place is like a mini mecca! First off photos do not do the collection size justice. The amount of antique clocks, watches, pocket watches, pianos, toys, phones, fuel pumps, vehicles, rocking horses, machines, airplanes, and motorcycles is mind blowing. A lifetime of incredible collecting for the average Joe to go and enjoy. These cars are not locked away. If you can fit in them or on them, you're welcome enter the vehicles and sit on the motorcycles and even sit in the airplane!! My son was over the moon while I was blown away by the amount of history and rarity at my fingertips. Honestly, it is one of the best museums I have visited in Japan and absolutely worth the trip. Short walk from the train station and lots to do and see in the area. Only 900 yen to enter for adults and worth ever yen! Can easily spend over an hour without even trying. Great photo opportunities in every nook and cranny of the museum, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable talking to me about the owner and items in the museum (when she had a spare moment). I will be going back again just to enjoy this collection before I leave Japan. Go, enjoy, and support this incredible collection of history!!!!

I set this museum as today’s cycling destination. The collection includes automobiles, clocks, and aircraft from earlier times. Personally, I especially enjoy seeing the cars — it’s fascinating to imagine how people used to drive back then. The numerous clocks on the wall were also quite impressive.

A must visit when you are in the area! I’m glad to see a Japanese rendition of an oldtimer museum The staff is friendly and there is a great gift shop! Elvis was also present 🕺

Excellent museum with lots of old unique cars and clocks. Easy to find. About a 20 minute walk from Fukuyama Station going past Fukuyama Castle. Much bigger than I expected with lots of cars and buses in display on the road on either side of the museum.

A VERY large variety of antiques and collectibles, beyond just clocks and automobiles. Definitely recommend going and giving yourself well over an hour, and you can also open and even sit inside of most vehicles (depending on how large you are, as I had a few bumps trying to go in and out at 5’11”/180cm). Extremely nice and helpful staff. If you’re interested in history at all, definitely go, as there are little corners with different bits of history tucked away throughout the buildings (and other vehicles/ultralights outdoors).

This temple/museum is huge, and there are so many things to enjoy. The koi fish were beautiful and lively. It was also my first time seeing a donkey. I had udon for lunch, and the experience was very interesting. The server explained the meaning behind each way of eating. I wanted to try meditation and syakyou, but it was too hot outside, so I gave up. Hopefully, I can try them next time I visit, haha.

Had an interesting experience at the zen museum. The architecture itself is just outstanding and the installation you can experience in the museum is unique and a lot to feel during and after the experience. I won't talk too much about the installation as it is different to each person what you feel and think but you will be surprised.

We visited the Museum and Gardens in Mid-July 2025, on our great tour of Japan, the socalled "Golden route" as a kind of rest stop between busy megacities. It is a very beautiful estate and park, with some lovely old temples and other buildings reconstructed here, and a spectacular newbuild for a Zen experience in total darkness. You can have lunch with extra big udon. The highlight was the introduction in Zen Meditation by an english speaking monk, who had travelled especially from Kyoto to give this instruction to us. It was one, if not THE, highlight of our Japan trip. It was very quiet too (even in July) outside our little group of 4, we saw only 3 or max 4 visitors on the whole estate and park. Absolutely recommended !

Visited during Obon holiday but there were not many people, we could enjoy the park and exhibitions at our own pace. Highly recommend.

One of the best place to enjoy autumn foliage. It was beautiful. Lovely 😍 I came on weekday and not many crowd, spent around 3 hours. I took private charter bus so its easy to navigate.

It is located in Shinshoji.The garden here is very beautiful,too. And the white pattern of a rock is worth seeing. The building was built by nawa, a famous Hiroshima-born man. That has a strange shape, but I think it is good. It's a half-hour system with max 20 people, but you hardly have to wait, so enjoy it whenever you want.

It is highly recommended to reserve more than 2 hours for this place. Due to the light bus schedule that we could only enjoy partial of Shinshoji this time. The experience here should be relax and joyful. We also enjoyed the 五觀偈 Shinsho-ji udon at 光明堂 （1200 yen for one set). The most special part for me is to experience how monks eat these foods. The Unsui chopstick is cool even to Chinese people like me. To be honest, I still did not get a clue about the 洸庭’s performance for the entire 30 mins. It will be really nice if I can have some pre-study or introduction. Or please someone let me know wha exactly this is about! Last but not the least, I would like to express my appreciation to the staff again. They are super helpful! They guide us how to take bus to our next destination. In the end, they even drove us to the bus station! It saved our life and made our trip more memorials! 👍👍👍

It’s amazingly clean&well maintained zoo with a pond nearby makes it more fun , definitely recommended for families

The zoo is clean and tidy, has many animals, and the tickets are cheap. And you can bring your own food to enjoy, which is very suitable for a family visit.

Hight recommend. The zoo is not large but it’s very clean, the animals are near and look like happy. The children can see and learn a lot of things

I do not recommend this zoo. The animals are mostly solitary (even extremely sociable animals like meerkats) and kept in small, sparse, cold enclosures. They mostly do not seem happy, especially the large predators. ASA zoo in Hiroshima is not great either, but far better than this.

Highly recommended because it's really a nice place to bring your children. A place where you can spend time with family , have a family bonding without spending to much money..My children loves watching the animals in the zoo and they enjoy playing in the playground..

Nice place embedded with natural beauties. children enjoy the place very much. there is a childrens corner, which is completely free of cost. Recommended for those who lives in Fukuyama, Hiroshima area.

A wonderful zoo! Small, but plenty of interesting animals. The habitats are more humane than most Japanese zoos.

Since the location was perfect for a lunch break, I set here as an interim goal of the day. I had this pizza for lunch, which I bought at a nearby café. The old-style post box was so charming that I ended up using it as my profile icon. The scenery might have been even more beautiful if it had been sunny.

Very peaceful place and sunset

Love the atmosphere. But the light won’t keep till the dawn. I think it should as a reward to the visitor who’s wake up early to visit!

A place which stays in your memory! This stone lighthouse is just beautiful and is the perfect setting to enjoy the sea views.

I dont really know much about this sight, but way to here had pretty nice sights...

Not what I expected, very disappointing Smaller than street light. Not much to see in this town.

Town’s symbolic lighthouse built in 1859. Grab a beer at a shop right by it, and enjoy the bay view.

(Translated by Google) 2025 International Rose Conference, ROSE EXPO Fukuyama, Rose Festival held simultaneously I went to this venue for the first time for a three-day event from May 17th to 19th, which featured an embassy-produced garden, a rose pot sales booth, and rose goods sales. There was also a collaboration project with TOKYO GIRLS COLLECTION, and the floor of the Rose Arena was turned into a runway with a rose arch tunnel. Tatsuya Murasame and Masashi Mikami, who appear on NHK's Hobby Gardening, also attended the talk show. Yellow bleachers are set up on the second floor. The arena is conveniently located around Midoricho Park (Rose Hill, playground equipment, waterside playground), commercial facilities, and gas stations. There are many parking lots, but I took the city loop bus "Mawa Rose" from Fukuyama Station. It costs 160 yen flat. I asked the driver and got off at the Hanazonocho bus stop, and it was about a 5-minute walk from there.

(Translated by Google) What is this... Huge, tall and spacious. The exterior is cool, the building looks like a gymnasium or concert hall. It's symmetrical and has an unusual design. This was my first time at the rose festival. There were a lot of people there that day as well, but it seems the festival had ended yesterday. Of course, there were lots of roses and stalls. The roses are beautifully maintained. In the surrounding area are the departure and arrival point for large tourist buses, a parking lot, an information center, etc. It's about a 20-minute walk from the station. There's also a bus stop nearby.

(Translated by Google) It is a tourist facility with free admission and historical exhibits in a relatively new building. The 360-degree flying view with VR goggles was spectacular. There is also a space where you can eat and drink, so I was able to warm up the octopus rice I bought at the station in the microwave and enjoy it. The coin lockers are essentially free to use, and I was able to charge my smartphone at the outlet, which was very helpful.

In the preservation area, there are approximately 300 traditional buildings from the Edo period to the pre-war Showa era that remain!

(Translated by Google) I was surprised because it wasn't there when I visited before. It's really convenient that it can be used as a rest area for free, and there are exhibits and explanatory videos to watch. It's an area that's more enjoyable if you have some prior information, so I enjoyed my walk around even more after getting some basic information here. There were also previous photos on display, which brought back a bit of nostalgia, as I remembered, "Oh yeah, there used to be so much ivy growing here."

Very nice experience. Though taking photos inside the museum is limited. I Suggest taking a friend with you as a lot to take pictures inside need someone very hard if alone

the castle is nice, but the highlight in Fukuyama is the small Japanese garden below the castle.

The location is so convenient for travel, it is next to Fukuyama station, only few minutes walk. I went there during Christmas time, it has night light show. It is a bit cold but amazing. There are few museums around it. It is not much different from other castle in Japan.

One of the best castles and the train goes through the castle property.

The castles throughout Japan are architecture gems. The ones that are still standing are true survivors. They been reconstructed and preserved. This one I think is more grand than the Hiroshima Castle, even though Hiroshima Castle surround areas are more open. I did enjoy visiting this place and definitely a must visit if you are in the area.

Worth a visit if you are staying in Fukuyama, but not worth travelling for. Sadly, wasn't able to go inside on the day of visiting. Very pretty gardens let down by a bizarre display involving lots of inflatable eggs in the gardens.

Reconstructed castle with a museum and cherry trees. The gardens and bath houses are well preserved. Right across the Fukuyama train station with plenty of rose plants. Well worth stopping and visiting if you’re taking the Shinkansen to Hiroshima from Tokyo.

This was a memorable visit. We were just two of us at that time and the 3 elderly people there were just waiting for people to come visit so they could do the tour. We were with a lovely lady who read the English explanations for us and it was very helpful to understand all the different parts of the buildings. It s a huge house that served as a sake brewery and shop as well as an inn. GO!!!!

This house was built during 18th century and some famous nobles stayed here for a few days. It has some attractive points to see such as warehouse, garden, ceiling and wall. The family who lived here sold “Homei-shu” during Edo period all over Japan. And then, they produced it here so there are some warehouses. The reason why they could build such a great house was they were allowed to sell Homei-shu dominantly by Han, the lord. Thanks to its policy, they could make fortune. Este es edificio muy grande y maravilloso y fue fundado durante Edo tiempo(siglo 18). Hay un jardín pequeño. Eso representa el espíritu Sado, espíritu de té en Japón. Si llama atención a su pilar en edificio, puede encontrar un dibujo tradicional que se llama “Kugi-kakushi “.

A lot of traditional old buildings. Very lovely to walk around in the morning.

Japanese style house

(Translated by Google) It's near the night light. Admission fee: 500 yen. Closed on Tuesdays. I went sightseeing in Tomonoura on Sunday morning. There were about 3 people including me touring the Ota family residence. This building dates from the late Edo period to the early Meiji period and is a nationally important cultural property. (Original) 常夜灯の近くにあります。 入館料500円。火曜日は休館日です。 日曜の午前中に鞆の浦へ観光に来ました。 太田家住宅を見学してるのは私を含め3人ほど。 江戸時代末期〜明治時代初期の建物で国の重要文化財です。

(Translated by Google) I asked him once. It is a wonderful mansion and is also an important cultural property of the country. This liquor store has been around since the Edo period, so the entrance is It's like watching a historical drama. The buildings are elaborate and the storehouses are interesting. I feel like I have traveled back in time. The storehouse at the back of the building has a unique dice pattern. (Original) 一度伺いました。 国の重要文化財でもあり素晴らしい邸宅ですね。 元々江戸時代からある酒屋なので入口が 時代劇で見る様な感じです。建物の作りも凝っているし倉も面白いです。 タイムスリップした様な錯覚を覚えます。 建物の裏側にある蔵には独特なサイコロの目の模様が入れてあります。

(Translated by Google) It's a great place to stop by on your way to the Joyoto. There is an admission fee of 400 yen, but the staff will explain the facility in an easy-to-understand way, and then you'll be free to wander around freely. Photography is also allowed. In the back, there are the storehouses and tools used to make Homeishu, which are well worth seeing. This is one of the must-see tourist spots for learning about the history of Tomonoura. (Original) 常夜燈に行く途中に立ち寄れる場所にあります。入館料400円は必要ですが、説明担当のスタッフさんが分かりやすく、施設の説明をしてくれ、その後は自由に回らせてくれます。写真撮影もOKです。奥には当時保命酒を作っていた蔵や道具もあって、見応えがあります。 鞆の浦の歴史を知る上で、外せない観光スポットの一つ。

A museum of the famous debate for ship compensation of the famous Sakamoto Ryouma. He is one of the icons of Japan modernization. This museum is telling her story his ship accident and show his hiding place “ such that, he had many enemies”. Ryoma story is well know in Japan so this museum purpose might be vague for foreigners who don’t acquainted with such history. For the people who read about him, it is a good place to go.

Great small museum. The lady working here was very friendly and spoke Great English.

Great little museum space avec the famous samurai and his lost ship. Wish they had some stuff in English !

(Translated by Google) [Ryoma Sakamoto's favorite pilgrimage to sacred places✨] The inside of the museum is not very large and there isn't much to see. There are quite a few Oshikatsu goods, so I wonder if they are aimed at people from overseas. If you are Ryoma-tan, please come 😃 (lol) When I went up to the second floor, Ryoma Sakamoto was there. It was really scary (lol) To put it bluntly, it was very real. When I changed the angle, our eyes met and it was so scary that it felt like a dream (lol) I was able to come due to good timing as it was only open on weekends, but it was a little inconvenient. (Original) 【坂本龍馬推し活 聖地巡礼✨】 館内は全然広くなく見るものはそんなに無い。推し活グッズは割と置いてあり海外の方向けなのかな？ 龍馬担の方は是非😃（笑） 2階に上がると坂本龍馬がいた。めちゃくちゃ怖かった（笑） よく言えばリアルとっても。角度を変えたら目が合ってて夢に出そうなくらい怖かった トラウマ（笑） 週末しかやってないのでタイミング良かったから来れたけど、ちょっと不便かな

(Translated by Google) The steamship Iroha Maru, purchased by the Ozu clan and operated by Ryoma Sakamoto's Kaientai, collided with the steamship Meiko Maru, owned by the Kishu clan, while sailing in the Seto Inland Sea, causing major damage and heading towards Tomonoura. This exhibition hall is named after the Irohamaru Incident, which involved a maritime accident in which the ship sank while being towed, and the compensation negotiations that followed. Ryoma stirred up public opinion in order to gain an advantage in negotiations and thoroughly damaged the reputation of the Kishu clan. The Kishu domain was engulfed in smoke and exhausted under the banner of universal public law. What they are doing is the same as the current Communist Party and Constitutional Democratic Party. He can hardly be called the behavior of a samurai, and is more like an unscrupulous merchant or a monster complainer. As a result, the ratio of errors was 10 for the Meiko Maru and 0 for the Iroha Maru, resulting in a total victory for the Kaientai. This was despite subsequent research suggesting that the Iroha Maru was also at fault, and that the Iroha Maru's cargo and damage amounts had been greatly inflated. Ichijiro Shigeta, who was in charge of the Kishu clan, was a hard worker who worked hard to get promoted from a humble beginning, but his life was ruined because of his involvement with Ryoma. The compensation that Ryoma stole was 80,000 ryo, which is more than 16 billion yen in modern terms, but he himself was brutally murdered without receiving any of the money. There are various theories about who was responsible for Ryoma's assassination, including Tadazaburo Sasaki of the Mimawarigumi, Kuwajiro Oishi of the Shinsengumi, Hajime Saito, and even Hanjiro Nakamura of Satsuma, but there have been rumors since then that he was a renegade of the Kishu clan. did. However, that would be too unsightly, so perhaps the name of a famous swordsman of the time was mentioned. And well, if you do something like this, no matter who kills you, it will only be considered divine punishment. This exhibition is strictly from Ryoma's side, so while it praises Ryoma's negotiation skills, it does not criticize his greedy methods. I think it is better suited for light users, but the content is undeniably thin. It's not worth making your schedule to see it, but it's a great way to kill time. Also, regarding the compensation that Ryoma never received, it is actually unclear what happened to him after that. It's only a myth, but there's a rumor that the money was embezzled and used to fund the founding of a certain conglomerate...Oh, it looks like someone's here, so please excuse me. (Original) 大洲藩が購入し坂本龍馬の海援隊が運用していた蒸気船のいろは丸が、瀬戸内海を航行中に紀州藩所有の蒸気船・明光丸と衝突して大破、鞆の浦にむけて曳航中に沈没した海難事故と、その後の賠償交渉をふくめた「いろは丸事件」にちなんだ展示館です。 龍馬は交渉を有利に進めるために世論をあおり、紀州藩の体面を徹底的に傷つけました。万国公法をたてに紀州藩を煙に巻き、疲弊させました。やっていることはいまの共産党、立憲民主党のたぐいとおなじです。武士のふるまいとは言いがたく、まるっきり悪徳商人、あるいはモンスタークレーマーです。 その結果、過失割合は明光丸一〇に対していろは丸は〇で、海援隊の全面勝利となりました。その後の研究によれば、いろは丸にも少なからざる過失があった、いろは丸の積荷と損害金額は大幅に水増しされていたとの説があるにもかかわらずそうなりました。紀州藩の責任者であった茂田一次郎は小身から努力を重ねて出世をとげた苦労人にもかかわらず、龍馬に関わったがために人生を台無しにされました。龍馬が掠め取った賠償金は八万両、現代の金額にして一六〇億円を超えますが、彼自身は大金を手にすることなく惨殺されました。龍馬暗殺の下手人としては見廻組の佐々木只三郎、新選組の大石鍬次郎に斎藤一、果ては薩摩の中村半次郎までいろいろと説はありますが、当時から紀州藩の意趣返しとの噂はありました。ただ、それではあまりに無様なので、当時の名だたる剣客の名が挙げられたのでしょう。そしてまあ、こんなことやっていれば誰に斬られたとしても天罰としか思えません。 ここはあくまで龍馬の側に立った展示なので、龍馬の交渉術を讃えてはいてもあこぎなやり方を非難したりはしていません。そのほうがライトユーザー向けではあると思いますが、内容の薄さは否めません。予定をくりあわせてまで見る価値はありませんが、時間つぶしにはなります。 あと、龍馬が手にすることのなかった賠償金ですが、その後どうなったかが実ははっきりとしません。俗説の域は出ませんが、横領されて、とある財閥の設立資金になったという噂が…おや、誰か来たようなのでこれにて失礼します。

(Translated by Google) This facility introduces the Iroha Maru sinking and Ryoma Sakamoto, and charges apply. In particular, the Iroha Maru sinking accident is explained in great detail. On the second floor, Ryoma Sakamoto's secret room is recreated. The actual hidden room in Tomonoura is located at the Tomonoura Tourist Center (charges apply) The facility is small. Ryoma Sakamoto goods are also on sale. (Original) いろは丸号沈没事故や坂本龍馬を紹介した施設で有料です。特にいろは丸号沈没事故をかなり詳しく解説しています。 2階には坂本龍馬の隠れ部屋を再現しています。鞆の浦にあった隠れ部屋は鞆の浦観光センターの方に実際のものがあります（有料） 施設はこぢんまりとしております。坂本龍馬グッズも販売されています。

(Translated by Google) This facility is perfect for people who don't know much about Ryoma, or people like me who have only read a few novels or manga. I'm sure there are a lot of thoughts on Ryoma, but I enjoyed watching the show, muttering things like ``I wish there was a story like this'' while taking quizzes. (Original) 竜馬の事をあまり知らない人や、自分の様にちょこっと小説や漫画見たよって人に丁度良い施設。 龍馬に対する考察は色々あるんでしょうが、「こんな話あったなあ」とか呟きながらクイズを外したりして楽しく観覧しました。

Beautiful and serene but could be treated with more respect. I saw a ladder and various pails just stored along the side and the electric service could have been hidden at the back. It looked cluttered instead of neat. But it is worth visiting.

Nice temple along the temple walk in Onomichi. A audio guidance in English is available on the grounds.

very historical place.

I can feel the history.

Nice temple, frequented by locals. Don’t follow signs for parking at temple , park at port and walk up as the streets are deathly narrow. You will meet trainspotters at the temple who frame shots of the passing trains within the entrance to the temple.

Calm, serene, filled with information.

(Translated by Google) This ancient temple was founded by Prince Shotoku. I visited in early spring and it was a magnificent temple. Looking down, the view of the Seto Inland Sea and the trains running along it was magnificent. (Original) 聖徳太子の開基の古刹。春先に訪れましたが、立派なお寺さんでした。見下ろせば、瀬戸内海に電車も走ってる、素晴らしい景色でした。

so peaceful and scenic. visited in the morning. take a walk using stairs that went upwards. outstanding

(Translated by Google) My long-cherished wish came true and I stopped by a temple that I was interested in as I passed by it for work. It looks like a temple with a very old history, and the five-story pagoda, along with the main hall, is a national treasure! Yes! everyone! wonderful! I won't go into details, but this is a temple you should definitely visit. (Original) 仕事で近くを通ることがあり気になっていたお寺さんに念願叶って寄らして頂きました。 歴史もかなり古いお寺さんのようで5重の塔も本堂と合わせて国宝！ですよ！皆さん！素晴らしい！詳しく述べませんが絶対行くべきお寺さんです。

(Translated by Google) We visited in the morning, and the weather happened to be good and the temperature was comfortable. The temple is built on the riverside, on a higher ground, and the scenery is good. There was something going on that day, a meeting was held in a nearby room, but it ended quickly. We didn’t see any temple personnel during the visit, but we met enthusiastic worshipers. We also learned to add money for sesame oil and light candles for blessings by ourselves. There was a wooden plaque of Humo next to it, but no one wrote it, and we weren’t sure whether it needed to be written in what way, so we didn’t write it. There are no staff in the area selling royal guards and souvenirs, but there is a bell next to it. If you press it, someone will come out. The temple staff were very kind and even helped call a taxi. Thank you very much! There were a lot of fat little bees flying that day. Later I checked online and it seemed they were bumble bees, which were very cute. (Original) 早上去參訪，剛好天氣好、氣溫也舒適。寺廟建在河邊、地勢較高，風景不錯。當天剛好有進行活動的樣子，在旁邊的屋子開會，但很快就結束了。參觀時沒看到任何廟方人員，有遇到熱心的參拜民眾，我們也學著自己添香油錢、自己點祈福的蠟燭，旁邊還有護摩的木牌，但沒有人寫，也不確定是否需要照何種方式寫，所以就沒有寫。販售御守、紀念品區沒有工作人員，但旁邊有電鈴，按了會有人出來。廟方人員很親切，還幫忙叫了計程車，非常感謝！當天有很多很胖的小蜜蜂在飛，後來上網查似乎是熊蜂，滿可愛的。

(Translated by Google) Take the Tomo Line bus of the Tomo Railway, get off at the Kusado Ohashi bus stop, and walk for about 15-20 minutes to reach the temple. After climbing a long flight of stairs, you will find the main hall and five-story pagoda, both national treasures. You can get a panoramic view of the city. There is information on the bus stop timetable, but I walked along the road next to the houses on Prefectural Route 22 (Prefectural Route 22 has a lot of traffic and no sidewalks, so it is dangerous to walk on it). (Original) 鞆鉄道の路線バス 鞆線に乗り、草戸大橋バス停で下車、徒歩15-20分程度で到着します。少し長い階段を上ると、国宝の本堂や五重塔があります。市街を一望できます。停留所の時刻表にも案内がありますが、県道22号脇の住宅沿いの道を歩いて行きました(県道22号は車の往来も多く、歩道もないので歩くのは危険です)。

Great historical temple in Japan. Main hall "Hondo" and Five-storied pagoda are very impressive!

(Translated by Google) The main hall is a designated national treasure. The temple grounds also house a five-story pagoda, also designated a national treasure. You can learn about the history of the main hall by scanning a QR code. Getting to the main hall can be difficult as the story is complicated. There is also a shoin study and Sanno-do hall. The main hall and five-story pagoda can be seen by climbing the steep stone steps from the parking lot. People with mobility issues can drive up the approach to the left of the stone steps and use the parking lot above. It is also known as the temple of flowers, and when I visited previously in spring, the temple was in bloom. I visited in September and was able to enjoy the green maples, pokeweed berries, and lily of the valley flowers. (Original) 本堂が、国宝に指定されている。 境内には、同じく国宝に指定されている五重塔も建立されている。 本堂の歴史は、QRコードを読み取って聴くことができる。本堂については、複雑な流れがあるので難しい。 書院や山王堂もある。 駐車場から、急な石階段を登っていくと、本堂と五重塔が見える。 足の不自由な人は、石階段左の参道を車で行き、上の駐車場を利用。 花の寺とも言われ、以前、春に訪れたときは花が咲いていた。 今回は9月で、青もみじやヤマゴボウの実、ヤブランの花を楽しむ事ができた。

(Translated by Google) A pagoda that could do with a bit of renovation. We walked 2 km to see it. The advantage is that it's free, the disadvantage is that it's the only thing to see, taking a total of 1 hour's walk there and back from the station. (Original) Pagode qui mériterait un bon coup de rénovation. Nous avons fait 2 km à pied pour la voir. L'avantage c'est qu'elle est gratuite, l'inconvénient, c'est qu'il n'y a que ça à voir pour en tout 1h de marche à pied aller-retour de la gare

Sorry a display of photos from Disney archives is not art. I expected a bit more from a museum of art. Wouldn't have gone up that hill you're on if I had knew this was the art on display. Only 1 star is for the view which is lovely but 0 for the art. Also you can't take photos of it? Your whole display is a photocopy of an archive. Shame I wasted 800 yen for this nonsens.

Nice view over the city. Specially in the morning, when there is mist over the hills. The art museum has a great collection of jewellery. Also note the laces under the jewels.

The sea I can see,I did see. I felt nostalgic as getting this scenery after 20 years. At that time this art museum had not been built. Not so many famous artist creations are exhibited. But this museum give us great experiences artists had been trying to express. Impressive,Fauvism,Cubisme,Japanease painting,Sculpture, Whichever selected the soul is bried. Surprisingly no permanent exhibition. I can sea some answers how local museum will exist.

I find this museum to save me from the horrible summer heat

The cherry blossoms are blooming. They're just gorgeous!

I decided to visit and took the train from Hiroshima hoping to spend a nice day in Onomichi. This is the 3rd time I have tried to visit the museum. Once again it was closed. The English website is confusing about opening times, perhaps a visual calendar with colour coding showing the days that they are closed would be helpful. Onomichi is as always a charming and friendly town, but no more tries for the Art Museum, too disappointing

Cool modern and traditional architecture that reside adjacent to each other. Unfortunately, the interstice between them cannot be accessed.

Beautiful view in the end of the path that starts in the temple’s area. Not too hard. Definitely a MUST if you’re in Tomonoura.

Amazing views of tonomoura in the morning. Well worth the hike.

the view is great!

(Translated by Google) I went to Ioji Temple in Tomonoura for cherry blossom viewing. Looking down from Ioji Temple The townscape and port It's one of the most spectacular views. Many tourists also came. If you climb a little bit, you can also see Tomonoura from the mountainside.

(Translated by Google) I didn't plan to stop by since it seemed like a long walk from Yoyato, but when I was looking at the map in front of the police box, a local man who was passing by praised this place, so I decided to stop by. It's a little tiring because you're climbing a steep hill, but it's not a big deal considering the distance. From that crank, which is famous for traffic jams, it's a leisurely 10-minute walk passing in front of Myoenji Temple. Even my mother in her 70s with knee pain was able to go. There is a parking lot, so you can go up by car, although the road is narrow. Best of all, the view is amazing. You can see a panoramic view of Tomonoura. There is a bench next to the bell tower, so I think it would be a good idea to sit and think for a while. (Original) 常夜燈からかなり歩きそうなので寄るつもりはなかったのですが、交番前で地図を見ていたら通りがかった地元のおじさんがこちらを絶賛していて、急遽寄ることに→結果大正解（笑 急な坂道を登るので少し疲れますが、距離的には大したことないです。渋滞の名所のあのクランクから、明円寺の前を通ってゆっくり徒歩10分。膝が痛い70代の母でも行けました。駐車場もあるので、道は狭いですが車でも上がれます。 何より、眺めが素晴らしいですね。鞆の浦を一望出来ます。鐘楼の脇にベンチがあるので、腰掛けて暫し物思いに耽るのも良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) The stone steps are steep 😓, but the views are great. Of course, there's no parking, so is there any other way to get there than walking? This is the second oldest temple in Tomonoura. It's said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi (Kukai) in 826. It later burned down, but was rebuilt during the Keicho era by Tomonoura Castle's lord, Osaki Genhan. The temple seal is handwritten. There were many stray cats on the south side of the stone steps.

This is a review only for the food. Beautiful lunch but somewhat expensive. Looking at the past reviews, the prices seem to have gone up by quite a bit.

Wonderful experience and friendly staff, great vacation spot!

Really really really really really reallynice.

(Translated by Google) We had lunch of sea bream chazuke at a restaurant with a calm and retro atmosphere. The ohitsu comes with more rice than you can eat, and you'll have sea bream that has been aged for two weeks. First it was sashimi, then it was topped with quail eggs and sea bream miso for a pickled rice bowl, and finally it was sea bream chazuke with hot dashi. The dashimaki tamago was also freshly baked and warm and surprisingly delicious. I love tamagoyaki, so I often order it at soba restaurants, and it was definitely the best tamagoyaki I've ever had. I felt it was natural for Director Miyazaki to want to preserve this flavor and atmosphere. The price is a little high, but you won't regret it (Original) 落ち着いたレトロな雰囲気のお店で鯛茶漬けのランチをいただきました おひつに食べきれないほどのごはんがついてきて、２週間熟成させた鯛をいただきます 最初はお刺身で、それからうずらの卵や鯛味噌をのせてづけ丼に、最後はあつあつのお出しをかけて鯛茶漬けに。 だし巻き卵も焼き立てのあたたかいもので、衝撃を受けるくらい美味しかったです。卵焼き大好きなので蕎麦屋さんなどでもよく頼むのですが間違いなく今まで食べた中で一番おいしい卵焼きでした このお味と雰囲気は、宮崎監督が守りたいと思うのも当然だと感じました お値段ちょっと高めですが後悔はしません

(Translated by Google) Enjoy a typically Japanese experience far from mass tourism. An exceptional 9-course meal (gourmet cuisine) prepared by the Chef with English commentary: an explosion of delicate flavors. A feast for the senses! A showcase for a lost heritage. Spend the night in the inn that hosted Myazaki for two months in 2005 to create Ponyo on the Cliff. A typical inn, tastefully furnished. Tomonoura is a village/port town where life is good, with a café near the lighthouse, a hill for athletes, and islands for the summer. A 30-minute bus ride from Fukuyama. A four-person experience with two teenagers, we highly recommend it. (Original) Vivre une expérience typiquement japonaise loin du tourisme de masse.

Expérience vécue à 4 avec deux ados, nous recommandons vivement.

(Translated by Google) It was really great. It exceeded my expectations. As a Ghibli fan and because director Hayao Miyazaki was involved in the design, I stayed here on our wedding anniversary. ○ About the Room The atmosphere of the room is really nice. I stayed in the Kakemonochi room, and I was thrilled the moment I entered. I somehow felt like I was experiencing a bit of the atmosphere from The Wind Rises. It was comfortable, and our room had a toilet and a bath. The other rooms didn't seem to have toilets. I was a little surprised that the toothpaste was salt, lol. ○ About the Food The food was more delicious and sophisticated than I expected. It was very tasty, and I could really taste the flavors of the ingredients. For breakfast, we had sea bream chazuke, which I thought might be a bit large, but I ate it all up in no time. I was full from the morning, but it was very delicious. With everything included, it was great value for money and a really great inn! The stained glass is beautiful, and it was fun to spot Ghibli characters scattered throughout the inn! The service was relaxed and not tense, so I'd definitely like to stay again. I highly recommend this inn to fans of Ghibli, Sakamoto Ryoma, and delicious food! (Original) とても良かったです。期待以上でした。 宮崎駿監督が設計に携わったということで、ジブリ好きのため、結婚記念日と言うこともあり宿泊しました。 ○ お部屋について お部屋の雰囲気が本当にいいです。 かけものおちの部屋に宿泊しましたが、部屋に入った瞬間心躍りました。 なんとなく、風立ちぬの雰囲気を少し感じたような気がしました。 快適に過ごせましたし、こちらの部屋には、トイレとお風呂がついていました。 別の部屋にはトイレはついてなさそうでした。 歯磨き粉がお塩なことには少し驚きました笑 ○食事について 想像以上に美味しく洗練されたものに感じました。 とても美味しくて、素材の味を感じられて最高でした。 朝ごはんも鯛茶漬けが出ており、量が多いかな？と思いましたが、スルッと食べることができました。 朝からお腹いっぱいになりましたが、とても美味しかったです。 全て込みだと、コスパも最高によくとてもいいお宿だなと感じました！ ステンドグラスも綺麗ですし、宿内にちょこちょこジブリのキャラクターがいるのを見つけるのも楽しかったです！ サービスも緊張せず、リラックスさせてくださるので気軽にまた泊まりに行きたいなと思いました。 ジブリ好き、坂本龍馬好き、美味しいご飯好きにはとてもおすすめのお宿です！

(Translated by Google) I went for lunch. I ordered the sea bream rice set. The sea bream marinated in salted rice malt was packed with flavor and was incredibly delicious. The interior of the restaurant was also beautiful. I went in as soon as they opened at 11:00, but after about 30 minutes there was already a line. It's so delicious that it's definitely worth waiting in line! (Original) ランチ利用です。鯛めしのセットを注文しました。塩麹？に漬けた鯛は旨みが凝縮されておりめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。また、お店の内装も綺麗でした。11時の開店と同時に入りましたが30分ほどすると待ちも出るくらいになってました。美味しいので並ぶ価値は十分ありますね！

The station is not so big but it surrounding by shopping mall. The toilets at the station is not really clean, still use old style of toilet. Fukuyama is know as rose city. There are many rose tree outside of the station, It is so beautiful. The station is close to Fukuyama castle and museum.

Roses bloom by the station; castle walls watch from across the street. Fukuyama feels proud and unassuming — the beauty of a town that has survived and blossomed again. Tourist Tip: Visit Fukuyama Castle (visible from platform) and rose gardens. Easy transfers to Tomonoura’s seaside village.

Recently refurbished with several cafe and dining options. Got to be one of the stations that is closest to a castle in all of Japan (just outside the north entrance). The bus station in front is the place to head if going to Tomo-no-ura.

Small but convenient station with a really long escalator.

A big nice station, two connecting lines. And the station is just in front of the castle!

Attention foreigners! Fukuyama is not part of the Hiroshima area! At least this is what it said on the Hiroshima Yamaguchi area jr pass. You get charged additional 2000 yen for getting off this station in Hiroshima prefecture. The staff is also rude for treating foreign tourists like you and which nearly ruined my connection to my destination. Nice Japanese experience overall.

Fukuyama station is very easy to navigate and has many dining options within its premise. Tourist information office located in the station is very helpful and Fukuyama castle and museums are all short walking distance.

It is enough for shopping necessary things. The Japanese are really so kind. Mall is big enough. You can reach there by public transportation.

Clean and pleasant!

After donating blood, a bandage is applied to the area where the blood was taken to stop the bleeding. When I was a child, I felt a certain sense of pride when I was wrapped in a bandage, and I still feel the same way now that I'm older. Triplet souls, up to a hundred.

Helping out behind the scenes until artificial blood becomes widespread. ▼info The amount of blood in a human being is approximately 1/13 of the body weight.For example, if a person weighs 60 kg, the amount of blood is 60 kg/13 ≒ 4.6 kg ≒ 4.6 liters (1 liter of blood weighs approximately 1 kg). Next, how much blood does a person have to lose before they die? In general, if 20% of the blood in the body is rapidly lost, it causes hemorrhagic shock, and if it goes up to 30%, it can be life-threatening. There is. The 400ml of blood that can be donated using a blood donation bus is 0.4/4.6=8.6% for a person weighing 60kg, so if you are a healthy person, donating blood will have almost no negative effect on your body, and the amount of blood you can donate will be 3. It is said that recovery will take ~4 weeks. (Original) 昼前11時頃、ふらり立ち寄り。400mℓ献血。 結構混んでたが、問診から献血まで約20分ぐらいで完了。 献血後、血液を採取した箇所に止血度めの包帯を巻かれる。子供の頃に包帯を巻かれると、なんだか誇らしい気持ちになったものだが、齢を重ねた今でも同じような心持ち。三つ子の魂、百まで。おっさんの皮かぶった小学生。 人口血液が普及するまで、陰ながらお手伝い。 ▼info 人間の血液の量は、体重の約1/13らしく、例えば体重が60kgの人であれば60kg/13 ≒ 4.6kg ≒ 4.6ℓとなる（血液1ℓの重さは約1kg）。 次に血液をどれぐらい失うと人は没するのかというと、一般に体内の血液の20%が急速に失われると、出血性ショックとなり、さらに30％まで失うと、生命に危険を及ぼすとされている。 献血バスで可能な献血400mℓは、体重60kgの人であれば、0.4/4.6=8.6%であるため、健康な人であれば、献血が体に悪い影響を及ぼすことはほとんどなく、血液は3〜4週間で回復すると言われている。

(Translated by Google) It was very crowded to get out of the parking lot. After that, Toyota's unique rules are amazing. Why do you park in a place other than a parking space? Too many people who drive Toyota don't even have the will to abide by society's rules. (Original) 駐車場から出るのに混雑が凄い。 後はトヨタ車の独自ルールが凄い。 何故、駐車スペース以外に堂々と止める。トヨタに乗る奴は社会のルールすら守る気が無いのが多すぎる。

(Translated by Google) It's a shopping mall with a chaotic parking lot. First of all, the route to enter the multi-storey parking lot is confusing. I'm wondering which parking lot to park next, the Yume Town side or the Tenmaya side. And the inside of the parking lot was not a one-way street, which is unusual these days, but cars were coming from various directions. The inside of the store feels a little old, but it is clean and bright. The Yume Town side is not much different from other Yume Towns in the prefecture, and there is nothing unusual about it. On the Tenmaya side, there are tenants such as Xebio and Loft that are not often found in Yume Town, so there are many things to see. Parking is free, so you can roam around at your leisure. However, it seems that traffic congestion is inevitable near Route 2 in the evening. (Original) 駐車場がカオスなショッピングモールです。 先ず初めに立体駐車場に入るルートがややこしい。 次にゆめタウン側か天満屋側かどっちの駐車場に入るか迷う（悩む） そして駐車場内は今時にしては珍しく一方通行では無く様々な方向からクルマがやってくる。 店内は少し古さを感じますが、清潔感ある明るい店内です。ゆめタウン側は県内にある他のゆめタウンと大差無く、珍しさは無し。 天満屋側にはゼビオやロフトなどゆめタウンにはあまり入っていないテナントがあり見どころあり。 駐車場が無料なのでゆっくり回ることができます。 ただ、夕方は2号線付近渋滞必至のようです。

(Translated by Google) It is a complex where various tenants gather in the area, allowing for efficient shopping. (Original) いろいろなテナントがエリア内に集まって、買い物を効率良く出来る複合施設です。

(Translated by Google) I've been using this restaurant since it first opened several decades ago, and I can't recommend the atmosphere or the service. (Original) 数十年前のオープン当初から利用していますが、店の雰囲気もサービスもこれといったおすすめポイントがないです。

(Translated by Google) This is an art museum affiliated with Roppo Gakuen in Mizunomi-cho, Fukuyama City. The exhibits are mainly works by people who live in facilities for the disabled and people with various disabilities. The colors and compositions are diverse and talented, and I was impressed. The exhibits included unique works like those of professional illustrators and works that were made with great care, and they were beautiful works that I, an ordinary person, could never express or imagine. Fortunately, the curator gave me a very detailed and in-depth explanation, and I was able to understand the works. The exhibits displayed the outstanding talents and efforts of people with disabilities, and I was able to touch and feel them, which made my visit truly meaningful. The exterior of the building had a classical atmosphere typical of Tomonoura, and I heard that it was a former brewery built about 150 years ago. When I went inside the building, the very impressive, thick beams and pillars were beautiful. (Original) 福山市水呑町の六方学園系列の美術館です。 展示物は障がい者施設に入所されてる方や色んな障がいを抱えている方々の作品を中心に展示されています。 色彩的にも、構図的にも多彩で多才で感心然り。 プロのイラストレーターのような個性的な作品や、とても丁寧な作業の作品が展示されていて、凡人の私にはとてもではなく、表現出来ない、発想出来ない、丁寧な美しい作品の数々でした。 幸いにも、学芸員の方にとても丁寧かつ深い解説をして頂き、作品を理解出来ました。 チャレンジドの方々の、大変優れて秀でた才能と努力の表現が展示されていて、それらに触れあえ、感じられて、こちらを訪れて本当に有意義な時間になりました。 建物の外観も鞆の浦らしいクラシカルな雰囲気で、築150年位いの元醸造所？と聞きました。 建物の中に入ると、とても立派で太い、梁と柱が美しかったです。

(Translated by Google) ☆Nationally designated important cultural property The existing turret gate is one of the reasons for visiting Fukuyama Castle. A stately turret gate with a traditional tile-roofed gabled structure that was relocated from Fushimi Castle in Kyoto in 1622 along with the Fushimi turret.The main gate of the main enclosure is located on the south side of Fukuyama Castle and seen from the Otemon gate🚶 Dozens of reinforced steel are riveted to the pillars and doors of the gate to make it strong, and the entire turret gate has a lattice window in the center with no gun or arrow gaps, giving it a calm appearance. On the right hand side is the ruins of the guardhouse.It's not flashy overall, but it's tasteful and dignified, and it's a very nice looking building🤔 (Original) ☆国指定重要文化財 「福山城」訪問目的の一つ、現存の櫓門。 京都伏見城から元和8年(1622)、伏見櫓と一緒に移築された本瓦葺入母屋造りの重厚な櫓門、福山城の南面に位置し大手門方面からの本丸正門🚶 門扉の柱や扉に数十本の筋鉄を鋲打ちし強固に、櫓門全体には鉄砲狭間や矢狭間なく中央上に格子窓と落ち着いた構え、門扉には左手に潜戸あり、門を潜って右手に番所跡、全体的に派手さは無いですが趣と風格あり、中々の立ち姿です🤔

(Translated by Google) A strong main gate that serves as the last stronghold to protect the main enclosure of Fukuyama Castle. A valuable nationally designated important cultural property with only two buildings remaining, including Fushimi Yagura. It is said that when the feudal lord, the Mizuno clan, moved from Kannabe Castle and built a new castle, it was relocated from Kyoto's Fushimi Castle, just like Fushimi Yagura. The name comes from the fact that reinforced steel is attached to the gate. (Original) 福山城本丸を守る最後の砦となる強固な構えの正門 伏見櫓とあわせ2棟しか現存していない貴重な国指定重要文化財 藩主の水野氏が神辺城から移るため福山城を新たに築城するに当たり伏見櫓と同じく京都伏見城から移築したといわれている ネーミングの由来は門扉に筋鉄を打ち付けていることから

(Translated by Google) Right in front of Fukuyama Station on the Shinkansen. I'm glad I had time to explore unexpectedly. A spacious castle with magnificent stone walls. The scent of well-tended gardenia flowers. It felt good to see the cityscape of Fukuyama City. There were various patterns carved into the stones of the stone wall. You can enter the castle tower for 500 yen. After I returned...I forgot to look at the black iron plate that covered the entire north side of the castle. I was disappointed because I saw three white sides. It looks like a two-toned castle. (Original) 新幹線「福山駅」の目の前。 時間があったので思いがけず探索出来て良かったです。 立派な石垣に広い城内。 クチナシの花が手入されてよい香り。 福山市の街並みを見れて気持ち良かったです。 石垣の石には色んな模様が刻まれていました。 ５００円で天守閣に入場出来ます。 帰ってから…城の北面が全部、黒く鉄板が打ってあったのを見てくるのを忘れました。 白色の三面見たのに残念でした。 ツートンのお城のようです。

Each of the pillars on the lower level is fitted with a neck-wrapping metal fitting, and steel metal fittings are nailed to the four corners, and small and large butt-shaped metal fittings are nailed to the spots and ends of the mirror pillars.

Historical spot... But there was nothing to see

(Translated by Google) I had no idea there was a place in Fukuyama that was working on human rights issues like this. I thought it would be good if Buraku issues and bullying disappeared from the world. (Original) 福山にこんな人権問題に取り組んでる所があるとは思わなかった。 世の中から、部落問題、イジメが無くなれば良いと思いました。

(Translated by Google) I used to go there for a Human Rights Week event, and this time I only walked around the area, but the glass building and roses are beautiful. There are also A-bombed trees. (Original) 昔、人権週間イベントで寄ったことがあり、今回は付近をウォーキングしたのみですが、ガラス張りの建屋とバラが綺麗です。 被爆樹木もあり。

(Translated by Google) In the permanent exhibition, you can learn about the inhumane treatment that occurred during the war, and the fact that there was a lot of discrimination against the burakumin. You can now learn about leprosy at a special exhibition. This gave us a glimpse of the uniqueness of Fukuyama, where the decline in educational standards became a problem in the 1970s. (Original) 戦争における非人道的な扱いがあったこと、被差別部落の差別が多かったことが常設展示で学べます。特別展で、現在ハンセン病について学べます。 1970年代、教育水準の低下が問題になったこともある福山の特殊性が垣間見られました。

(Translated by Google) Located on the north side of Fukuyama Castle Only a few cars can park in the parking lot There are very few visitors, so if you can park in the parking lot here. You can do as much sightseeing as you want by checking out the literature museum next door and Fukuyama Castle, but... Please use with discretion. (Original) 福山城の北側に位置します 駐車場は数台しか止められませんが 入場者はごく少ないので　ココの駐車場に停める事が出来たなら 隣りの文学館を見て　福山城も見てと　観光し放題ですが、、、 節操のある利用をお願いします

(Translated by Google) I went to GW. There was no one there. I thought I was doing something meaningful. Buraku issues were discussed as human rights issues, and women's rights were discussed in the special exhibition. I wanted them to deal with domestic violence and abuse. I want you to face it head on and be honest. I would also like to see action taken by city hall. (Original) GWに行きました。誰もいませんでした。地味に意味のあることをしていると思いました。 人権問題として部落問題、企画展では女性の権利についてしていました。DVや虐待について取り扱って欲しいと思いました。真正面から正直に向き合って欲しいです。そして市役所の行動と連動して欲しいです。

(Translated by Google) The contents of the permanent exhibition will make you think, ``Ah...as expected,'' but the special exhibitions have their own ingenuity and are educational. The admission fee is one coin, and there is a private parking lot, so it's a good thing that you can easily enter. Also, if there is an exhibition that interests me, I would like to go to it. (Original) 常設展示の内容は「ああ……やっぱりね」っと、思わせられるけど、特別展示はそれなりの工夫があって勉強にはなります。 入館料もワンコインで専用駐車場も有りますので、気軽に入れるのも良い点かと。 また、興味のある展示が有れば行きたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) beautiful building It’s also very clean and comfortable inside It's a pity that there are no tourists at all Because what is on display are some ancient Japanese books Some Japanese historical documents? No photography allowed inside Anyone who wants to know more is welcome to visit. In short, for foreign tourists You can skip this Japanese literature museum I shouldn't be able to see him leaving for ten minutes There is a reading area outside There is a beautiful view outside the window But be very quiet This is a necessary etiquette (Original) 美麗的建築 裡面也非常乾淨舒適 可惜完全沒有遊客 因為展示的是一些日本古代書籍 一些日本歷史文件？ 裡面不能拍照 想了解的歡迎進去參觀 總之對於外國遊客 可以跳過這個日本文學館 我應該看不到十分鐘離開了 外面有一個閱讀區 有美麗的窗外景色 但是要非常安靜 這是必要的禮儀

(Translated by Google) I heard in the newspaper that a special exhibition called Welcome to the Mysterious Candy Shop Zentendo had started here, so I immediately went to see it.

(Translated by Google) At this literature museum, you can learn about Masuji Ibuse. Although I have heard of his name, I have never read his books properly. I went into the museum with a bit of a hunch as I had just gone to the museum next door, but on the way back after seeing the exhibition, I saw a small paperback book by Masuji Ibuse on the shelf next to the reception desk, and curiously decided to buy it. I want to. I bought ``John Manjiro Drifting Chronicles'', opened it casually, started reading it, and couldn't stop reading it. That's how talented a writer is!However, I had no choice but to stop reading it mid-way through the trip, but I finished reading it the same night I got home because I was worried about the fate of Manjiro and his friends. It felt like I was actually watching Manjiro and the five sailors! This modest literary museum has great power. It was called Fukuyama Castle and its art museum, and I realized the power of Fukuyama's culture. I felt that this was reflected in the design of the paving stones on the roads that connect these facilities. (Original) この文学館では井伏鱒二のことが解ります。 彼の名前は聞いたことはあってもその著書はちゃんと読んだことはありません。隣の美術館に行ったついでだからと、いい加減な気もちで入ったのですが、展示をみたあと帰りに受付けの横の棚に井伏鱒二の小さな文庫本が売っているのを見て、不思議に買いたくなりました。「ジョン万次郎漂流記」を買い求め、何気なく開いて読み始めたらやめられなくなりました。作家の実力ってこういうものなんですね!とはいえ旅の途中、やむなく途中止めましたが万次郎達の運命が心配で、帰宅したその晩に読了。万次郎たち五人の船乗りたちを実際にみているようでした! このさりげない文学館は、おおきなちからを持っています。福山城といい、そこの美術館といい、福山の文化の実力に気づきました。これらの施設をつなぐ道の敷石のデザインもそれを現しているように感じました。

(Translated by Google) I was a science person, so even light novels weren't that great...When it came to literature, I was completely uneducated, but as I got older, I started to wonder why. A mysterious, or rather mysterious, way to study. Senior courses are common, but I wonder if that's true... Rather than the literary content of the exhibition, I think it's more about the local historical perspective and orientation, as it focuses on the individual's upbringing and past lifestyles ('_') (Original) 理系人間だったので、ライトノベルでさえさほど・・・文芸となるとてんでさっぱりの無学でしたが、歳をとると何故か？興味が沸く不思議、ていうか謎の向学。 シニア講座とかよくありがちですが、あるあるなんでしょうか・・・ 展示の文学としての内容ていうよりも、その人なりの生い立ちや昔の暮らしに目が行くあたり、郷土史的な視点・志向なんでしょう('_')

(Translated by Google) Free for high school students and under. It was interesting. I think it will be open until mid-June 2024. (Original) 高校生以下無料。おもしろかったです。2024年６月中頃までかな?銭天堂しています。

(Translated by Google) I went to Aki Kondo's work exhibition for the first time. As expected, he is very popular, and not only women but also families were there. There were so many wonderful pictures and I'm glad I went. I would like more exhibitions like this to be held in Fukuyama. I look forward to it. (Original) コンドウアキのおしごと展で初めて行きました。さすがに大人気な方とあって女性だけでなく、ファミリーなどもいらっしゃいました。とてもステキな絵がたくさんで、行ってよかったです。こういった展覧会、もっと福山でやってほしいです。期待しています。

Clean, comfortable pit stop with a lot of food options and restaurants. Bathrooms are clean and there is a gas station toward the exit if you need it. There is a McDonalds, a play area for kids with mats on the floor, a decent size dog run area and plenty of parking

(Translated by Google) I stopped by during Golden Week. The roses hadn't bloomed yet, but I'm sure it will be beautiful when in full bloom. There are also two toilets. The store is clean and has a great selection of local souvenirs and other items. The food court has a great lineup of mats and Osaka Ohsho. (Original) ゴールデンウイークに寄りました。 まだ薔薇は咲いてませんでしたが、満開時にキレイにだと思います。 トイレも2箇所あります。 店内はキレイで地元お土産等充実した品揃え豊富で良いです。 フードコートにマット、大阪王将と素晴らしいラインナップです。

(Translated by Google) [Highway Service Area] On my way back to Kansai, I stopped off here to buy some souvenirs. I was able to buy souvenirs from Hiroshima and Okayama, and the portions were just the right size and quantity. I recommend the Onomichi ramen.

(Translated by Google) 2023 8/24 I stopped by on the way home from Onomichi from Shimanami Kaido. The rose on the outside of the store was very conspicuous, and although it was a weekday, there were plenty of trucks. It's even more beautiful at night with the lights on. When I entered the store, I could smell the maple scent, and the souvenir corner had a great selection of Maple Momiji Financiers. I bought a small one because of the smell and there were a lot of them lined up. There were many people lining up for Mac. For an early dinner, I ordered a large Setouchi rice bowl with sea bream pickled in sesame and kettle-fried whitebait rice bowl, as well as whitebait sea bream chazuke. The wasabi in the Setouchi bowl was quite effective. The taste was delicious, but I was disappointed with the lack of sea bream and whitebait. (Original) 2023 8/24 しまなみ海道から尾道の帰りの高速で帰りに寄りました。店舗外観のローズがとても目立っていたのと平日ですが一般、トラックがいっぱいでした。 夜はライト点灯でまた綺麗です。 店内入るとメイプルの香りがすごくお土産コーナーはメイプルもみじフィナンシェの推しが凄かったです。匂いと大量に並んでいたのに釣られ小さいのを購入しました。マックもたくさん人が並んでいました。早めの夕飯で鯛のごま漬けと釜揚げしらすの丼の瀬戸内丼の大盛り、しらす鯛茶漬けを注文。瀬戸内丼のわさびがかなり効くわさびでした。味は美味しかったんですが、鯛、しらすの枚数が少ない印象で残念。

(Translated by Google) Arrived on Sunday around 8pm There were many cars and trucks parked in the parking lot. On the day I visited, it was in collaboration with Dragon Ball. The clerk was wearing a Dragon Ball T-shirt. There are many local mokeke and mini mokeke lined up. Seasonings, alcohol, sweets, and a wide variety of souvenirs are available. Some items, such as Momiji Manju, are sold separately. It's great for people who enjoy a variety of flavors and people who only want a few. You can enjoy a wide variety of meals, including McDonald's, ramen, seafood bowls, and tonkatsu. The later you arrive, the more items will be sold out. If you choose your souvenir after eating, you may be able to avoid the crowds at the souvenir register. (Original) 日曜日、20時ごろ到着 駐車場は乗用車、トラックどちらも多く止まっていました。 訪れた日はドラゴンボールとコラボ中で 店員さんがドラゴンボールTシャツ着ていました。 ご当地モケケ、ミニモケケたくさん並んでいます。 調味料、お酒、スイーツ　豊富にお土産が並んでいます。 もみじ饅頭など、一部はバラ売りしているので いろんな味を楽しみた人、数個だけ欲しい人には嬉しいです。 マクドナルドをはじめ、ラーメン、海鮮丼、とんかつなど種類豊富に食事を楽しめます。 遅くなると売り切れ品が多くなります。 食事をしてからお土産を選ぶと、お土産のレジの混雑を避けられるかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) This is crazy ice cream located inside Fukuyama SA Inori. Ordered donuts and ice cream. Is it the Halloween version? It's cute...

The exhibition took up two small rooms. There were almost no people there. I am not familiar with calligraphy, so I did not understand the value of the exhibits. (Original) ふくやま美術館の2階にあります。企画展とのセット販売のチケットで鑑賞できました。小さな部屋2つ分の展示でした。人はほぼいませんでした。自分は書道に詳しくないので、展示物の価値がよく分かりませんでした。

(Translated by Google) It was full with many customers. I was impressed by the wonderful work. (Original) 沢山のお客様で一杯でした。 素晴らしい作品に感動しました。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. You can learn about the history and culture of Tomonoura, a scenic spot representing Setouchi. It was built in 1988 on the ruins of a castle called Tomo Castle. It is built on a small hill and has a very nice view. Admission fee is 150 yen and the museum is closed on Mondays. It looks like it will be closed for a while from mid-December 2024 for renovation work. There were exhibits about the history of Tomonoura, people related to it, Korean envoys, and local festivals. Photography inside the building is prohibited. Since it is a castle ruins, you can also receive a castle seal if you request it at the reception desk. Access is a 6-minute walk from the Tomonoura bus stop, and if you are driving, it is convenient to use the History and Folklore Museum parking lot (25 spaces), but it may be full during the busy season. It's located along a narrow road in the back, so it may be more empty than the parking lot along the main road. It's located on a small hill, so in any case, you'll have to climb a slope or stairs to reach it. Visit period: November 2024 (Original) 広島県福山市にある博物館です。瀬戸内を代表する景勝地「鞆の浦」の歴史や文化を学ぶことができます。 1988年に鞆城というお城の跡に建てられました。小高い丘に建てられていて景色もとても良い場所です。 入館料150円で月曜日は休館日です。2024年12月中旬からしばらく改修工事で休館になるようです。 鞆の浦の歴史やゆかりの人物、朝鮮通信使、地元のお祭りなどの展示がありました。館内撮影は禁止となっています。 お城跡ということで受付で希望すれば御城印も頂けるようです。 アクセスはバス停鞆の浦から徒歩6分、車なら歴史民俗資料館駐車場(25台)が便利ですが、繁忙期は満車かもしれませんね。 奥まった狭い一通道路沿いにあるので、幹線道路沿いの駐車場よりは空いてる可能性があるかもです。 小高い丘にあるのでいずれにしても最後は坂道か階段を登ってたどり着けます。 訪問時期：2024年11月

(Translated by Google) A museum located on a slightly higher ground in Tomonoura It was a little tiring because we had to travel by car, but the view from here is also nice. Admission fee is as low as 150 yen Exhibition of Tomonoura's history and folklore materials... Well, it's cheap so it's okay. (Original) 鞆の浦のちょっと高台にある資料館 ちゃりでの移動やったんで、ちょっとしんどい、けどここからの景色もいい感じ 入館料は150円とお安め 鞆の浦の歴史、民俗資料の展示、、、、まぁ、安いからいいか

(Translated by Google) The attraction included in the package. I personally don't have much feeling for this spot. If you don't buy the package, I don't think you need to go in to see it. But the scenery outside is pretty good. (Original) 包含在套票裡的景點 個人對這個點是比較沒有感覺 如果沒有買套票感覺不需要特地進去看 但是外面的景還不錯

(Translated by Google) It was built on a hill above the ruins of Tomo Castle as a commemorative project for the 70th anniversary of Fukuyama City. Historical materials from ancient times to modern times, as well as folklore materials related to the Otebi Shinto ritual and the Oyumi Shinto ritual, are on permanent display, and the museum is affectionately known as the "Tide Waiting House." The view overlooking from this hill is also wonderful. (Original) 福山市制70周年の記念事業として、鞆城跡の高台に建設されました。古代から近世にいたる歴史資料、お手火神事やお弓神事などに関する民俗資料が常設展示され、「潮待ちの館」の愛称で親しまれています。 この高台から見下ろす景色も素晴らしいです。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located on a hill up the hill from Tomonoura. It is located in a location with a great view of Tomonoura. Admission fee: 150 yen. The museum introduces the history of Tomonoura, which prospered as a port for waiting for the tide, as well as special products such as Homeishu, and events such as festivals. On the second floor, there is also an exhibition about Michio Miyagi, a musician connected to Tomo Town. Overall, I can't deny that it feels a little plain, but I think it's a good place to get some background information about Tomo sightseeing. Please note that photography is not allowed inside the building on either the 1st or 2nd floor. Please be aware that there are signs prohibiting photography everywhere. (Original) 鞆の浦から坂を上った高台に建つ資料館。 鞆の浦が一望できる眺めの良い場所にあります。 入館料150円。館内では、潮待ちの港として栄えた鞆の浦の歴史のほか、保命酒をはじめとする特産品、祭りなどの行事が紹介されています。 2階には鞆町ゆかりの音楽家宮城道雄の展示も。 総じてやや地味な感じは否めませんが、鞆観光の予備知識を仕入れておくのには良いかと思います。 なお館内は１F、２Fとも撮影不可。至る所に撮影禁止の掲示がありますので注意しましょう。

(Translated by Google) 2019.11 Using the Tomonoura Historic Site Tour Coupon I entered the museum. Festival mikoshi etc. The festival exhibits were impressive. Photography is prohibited inside the museum. Walking up the long stairs I moved to the museum. View from the front of the museum The view of Tomonoura It was wonderful.

(Translated by Google) I wasn't really interested in the museum because it was a museum that displayed the history of footwear such as geta and zori sandals, but it was better than I expected. Footwear and toys from all over the world and all eras are on display, and there are a tremendous number of exhibition rooms. There was also a wealth of content other than footwear, including belongings of people connected to Fukuyama, such as Kiichi Miyazawa and Carp players, and works by Taro Okamoto. It's only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and there aren't many customers, but it's well worth a visit. The admission fee of 300 yen is also a good deal. You can take pictures of everything except Kiichi Miyazawa, so it is also recommended for influencers. (Original) 下駄や草履などの履き物の歴史を展示した博物館ということで、あまり興味をそそられなかったのですが、思った以上によかったです。 世界各地•あらゆる時代の履き物と玩具が展示されており、凄まじい数の展示室があります。 宮澤喜一やカープ選手など、福山ゆかりの人物の持ち物や、岡本太郎の作品など、履き物以外のコンテンツも充実していました。 金•土•日しか開館しておらず、お客さんもまばらですが、一度行く価値は十分にあります。 300円という入館料もお得です。 宮澤喜一関連以外は全て撮影可能ですので、インフルエンサーの方にもおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) It's located near Matsunaga Station. I was skeptical after reading many reviews saying it was better than expected, but it certainly exceeded my expectations. It's definitely worth the 300 yen admission fee. The admission fee was cheap, so I assumed there would only be one or two exhibition rooms, but there are actually eight exhibition rooms, and even exhibits in the hallways. While the name "Footwear and Toy Museum" suggests, it's divided into exhibitions of footwear, toys like tops and battledores, and traditional crafts. There was also an exhibit on former Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa. I didn't know this, but apparently he was from Fukuyama. He was the prime minister around the time I was old enough to understand, so it was fascinating to see. ... (Original) 松永駅付近にあります。思っていたより良かったというクチコミが多かったので、ホントかよと思いつつ訪れてみたのですが、確かに想像よりも良かったです。入館料300円以上の価値があります。 入館料が安かったので、一つか二つの展示室があるだけだと思ってましたが、何と第8展示室まである上に、通路にも展示があります。はきもの玩具館という名前ですが、履き物の展示と、独楽や羽子板といった玩具や伝統工芸品の展示に分かれています。 元首相の宮沢喜一さんの展示もありました。知らなかったのですが、福山の出身とのことでした。自分が物心付いた頃の総理大臣なので、興味深く拝見しました。 外には太陽の塔で有名な、岡本太郎さんの作品もあって盛り沢山です。平日でしたがあまり人はおらず、ゆっくり鑑賞できました。

(Translated by Google) I visited here about 20 years ago, and decided to revisit since the new "Miyazawa Kiichi Memorial Museum" has been added. It seems to be open only on weekends. As it is the city of geta, there are various types of footwear on display. There are also exhibits of old toys. The highlight was the exhibit of Navajo dolls, with hundreds of them, and it was thrilling to see them as if they might come to life. I think it was a special exhibit. There was only a small exhibit on Miyazawa Kiichi. (Original) 20年位前に訪問したことがあって、新しく「宮澤喜一記念館」が併設されていたので再訪問しました。週末のみの開館のようです。下駄の街だけあって、いろいろな履物が展示されています。昔の玩具も併せて展示がありました。圧巻はナホバ族の人形の展示、数百体あってどれかが動き出しそうな感じでゾクゾク、特別展示かな。宮澤喜一氏の展示は少しでした。

(Translated by Google) A museum exhibiting footwear and toys related to Matsunaga's geta. It was an interesting museum that displayed toys that colored the lives of the common people in a form that contrasted with the footwear that was necessary for the lives of the common people, but it is managed by Fukuyama City and is run mainly by volunteers. It was renewed in 2024, and a corner was set up to praise the achievements of local politician Kiichi Miyazawa. What was good about it ◇The footprint square that has become a symbol is a masterpiece by artist Taro Okamoto. A must-see. ◇Athletes' shoes are very interesting. Giant Baba's shoes are amazing. ◇The craftsman's house on the site was evicted to make way for the museum, but it remains as it is as a result of the founder paying homage to the people who opposed eviction until the very end. What I was curious about ◆Kiichi Miyazawa's achievements are great, but I think pros and cons are divided as to whether he is necessary for a museum that focuses on the lives of ordinary people. ◆Toys are thought to be aimed at children, but dolls illuminated by subdued lighting may be too stimulating for young children. ◆I hope that it will be managed by Fukuyama City and will not become a museum whose exhibition intentions are misaligned. (Original) 松永の下駄にちなんで履き物と玩具を展示した資料館。庶民の生活に必要とされた履き物を対比するカタチで庶民の生活を彩った玩具を展示した面白い博物館でしたが、福山市の運営となりボランティア中心で運営されています。 2024年にリニューアルされ、地元の政治家宮澤喜一の功績を讃えるコーナーが設置された。 良かったところ ◇シンボルとなった足あと広場は岡本太郎画伯の力作。必見です。 ◇スポーツ選手の靴は非常面白いです。ジャイアント馬場さんの靴は驚きます。 ◇敷地内の職人屋敷は博物館建設に伴い立ち退きがおこなわれたが、最後まで立ち退きに反対していた人に創立者が敬意を表した結果、そのまま残っています。 気になったところ ◆宮澤喜一さんの功績は偉大ですが、庶民の生活をテーマにしている資料館に必要かどうかは賛否が分かれると思います。 ◆玩具は子ども向けと思われますが、落ち着いた照明に照らされた人形は幼児には刺激が強いかもしれません。 ◆福山市運営になって展示意図がズレた資料館にならない事を願います。

(Translated by Google) I've been to this area before, and I've always been curious about it. Even in Fukuyama, it is located outside of the city. I thought it would be more compact, but it's actually quite spacious! The museum is also incredibly deep. The main exhibits are footwear and local toys. There are many shoes that were actually used by famous athletes of various genres, and the footwear is also developed from both domestic and international history, so it's definitely worth seeing. Giant Baba and Shizuka Arakawa are especially memorable. I also enjoyed looking at Western and Asian shoes. (Original) 以前このあたりを訪れることがあり、ずっと気になっていました。福山でも市街から外れた場所です。 もっとこじんまりしてると思ったらめちゃくちゃ敷地が広い！ 資料館も奥行きがとんでもないです。 展示物のメインは履物と郷土玩具です。 色んなジャンルの有名スポーツ選手の実際使用したシューズがたくさんあったり、履物も国内の歴史☓世界の2軸で展開してるので見応え十分です。 ジャイアント馬場さんと荒川静香さんは特に記憶に強く残ってます。 西洋やアジアの靴なども見ていて楽しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I decided to visit Plat on a whim. It's relatively close though 😅 The exhibit contents were better than I expected. Brightly colored geta and local toys were on display. Machines for processing wood are also on display and are a must-see. There is also a footprint plaza designed by Taro Okamoto. 🙀 (Original) 思いつきでぷらっと訪問してみました。 割と近くなのですが😅 展示内容は想像以上に良かったです。 色鮮やかな下駄、郷土玩具が展示されておりました。 木材を加工する機械等も展示されておりそちらも必見です。 岡本太郎氏デザインの足あと広場もあります。🙀

(Translated by Google) Most of the former castle grounds of Tomo Castle are now residential areas, and not many remains remain, but parts of the original stone walls remain. The castle ruins are now a plaza, from which you can see the Seto Inland Sea and the densely populated streets of Tomo. There is no free parking, and the surrounding parking lots are paid, which is a bit of a downside. Tomo Castle was built by the Mori clan in 1576. It is said that Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was driven out of Kyoto by Nobunaga (Tomo Shogunate), lived there. After the Battle of Sekigahara, Fukushima Masanori renovated the castle and even built a castle tower. This angered Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Fukushima Masanori was forced to demolish Tomo Castle and apologize. After the Fukushima clan was abolished, Tomo became the territory of the lord of Fukuyama, and the Tomo Magistrate's Office was established. (Original) 鞆城跡はかつての城域の大部分は住宅地とにっており、遺構はあまり残っていないが、当時の石垣が部分的に残されている。 城趾は現在、広場になっており、そこから瀬戸内海と密集した鞆の街並みが見渡せ眺望が良い。 無料駐車場はなく、周囲の駐車場は有料なのが難点。 鞆城は1576年に毛利氏によって築かれた。信長により京を追われた足利義昭が居城したという（鞆幕府） 関ヶ原の戦い後には福島正則により整備され、天守まで建てられたという。そのことが徳川家康の怒りを招き、福島正則は鞆城を破却して謝罪に追い込まれた。 福島氏改易後、鞆は福山藩主の領地となり、鞆奉行所が設置された。

(Translated by Google) I was interested in this place where the last Ashikaga shogun, the Tomo shogunate, was located, so I decided to visit this place. In fact, there seems to have been a castle itself at the time, but it was not until Masanori Fukushima that it was developed as a castle in the early modern period due to Tomo's stronghold. In the end, the castle was abolished under the One Country One Castle law. Tomonoura has changed its appearance as a tourist destination and has almost become an urban area. You can see the area around the main enclosure and the stone wall, but it's a bit lonely. (Original) 足利最後の将軍、鞆幕府が置かれたこの地に興味あり、辿り着く。 実際当時、城自体はあったようだが、鞆要害で、近世城郭として整備されたのは、福島正則以降。 結局、最終的には、一国一城令で廃城。 鞆の浦としても、観光地としての姿を変えて、ほぼ市街地化。 本丸まわりに、石垣まわりが、見受けられるが、少し寂しい限りだね。

(Translated by Google) Visited on November 18, 2012. There is a small hill in the center of Tomonoura. It is said to be the ruins of Tomo Castle and has been turned into a park. The ruins of Tomo Castle, where the Fukuyama City Tomonoura History and Folklore Museum stands, are believed to have been built in 1544 by Innoshima Murakami Shinzoto Yoshimitsu of the Murakami Navy. In 1575, Shogun Yoshiaki Ashikaga also came to this castle and was under the protection of the Mori clan, and when the Mori clan retired to the position of defense chief after the Sekigahara battle, the Fukushima clan and then the Mizuno clan moved to the town magistrate. is placed. (Original) 2012/11/18来訪。 鞆の浦の中心に当たるところに小高い丘があります。鞆城跡とのことで公園になっています。 福山市鞆の浦歴史民俗資料館の建つ鞆城跡は，天文13年（1544）村上水軍の因島村上新蔵人吉充が，築城したものと思われる。そして天正3年（1575）には将軍足利義昭もこの城に来て毛利氏の庇護のもとにあり，毛利氏が関ケ原合戦後防長に退くと，福島氏，次いで水野氏時代は町奉行所が置かれている。

(Translated by Google) A stone wall surrounds the entire folklore museum, but since it was restored after being excavated, many of the piles look unnatural for a castle's stone wall. I think the area on the northeast side with fewer people has a stronger original atmosphere. Many of the stones have clear markings, so it's interesting to take a closer look. (Original) 民俗資料館全体を石垣が取り巻いているが、発掘してからの復元なので、城の石垣としては不自然な感じの積みが多い。北東側の人が少ないエリアの方がオリジナルな雰囲気が強いと思う。 刻印がはっきりと残っている石が多いので、じっくり見て回ると面白い。

After the Battle of Sekigahara, Masanori Fukushima built a castle called Tomo Castle, but as a result of this he was suspected by Ieyasu Tokugawa, Masanori Fukushima stopped construction, and in 1615 it was demolished under the One Castle in One Country Order. . Most of the site of Tomo Castle is now a residential area, and although the stone walls that were excavated have been rebuilt, they are not necessarily in line with the remains.

(Translated by Google) Visited on November 18, 2012. Gangi is a stone staircase that allows you to arrive at the ship regardless of the tide. It is called ``Gangi'' because it resembles the flight of a wild goose. The majesty of Tomonoura's Gangi is unparalleled anywhere in the country. Nowadays, it is a representative view of Tomonoura and a relaxing place for residents and tourists to sit down and relax. (Original) 2012/11/18来訪。 潮の干満に関らず船着けできる石階段、それが雁木です。雁が飛ぶさまに似ていることから「雁木」と呼ばれています。全国でも類のない鞆の浦の雁木の雄大さ。今では、鞆の浦の代表的な景観として、住民や観光客がゆったり腰を下ろす憩い場となっています。

If you come to Dogo Onsen, this shrine could be stopped by.

(Translated by Google) The grounds are immaculately swept, leaving you feeling refreshed. "Numakuma Shrine was a shrine listed in the Engishiki (Engishiki) system, but the name was quickly lost. When Numakuma Shrine was revived in 1871, it was formed by merging the two shrines (Watarusha and Gionsha). Gionsha was revered by the people as the guardian deity of Tomonoura. It was also revered by the Mizuno clan, lords of the Fukuyama domain, and the second lord, Katsushige, donated a stone torii gate to the shrine in 1625. The third lord, Katsutada, then acquired and donated a Noh stage that had been located in Fushimi Castle. The Noh stage is modular, all made of rafters and bolts, and the roof is paneled" (Hiroshima Prefecture Cultural 100 Selections 4 (Buildings) published by the Chugoku Shimbun). (Original) 境内は綺麗に掃き清められていて、清々しい気持ちになる。 「沼名前神社は、式内社であったが、その名は早く失われた。明治四年（一八七一）に沼名前神社が復活する際に、（渡守社と祇園社）両社の合併の上に成立した。祇園社は、鞆の浦の産土神として人々から仰された。福山藩主水野氏も崇敬し、二代藩主勝重が、寛永二年（一六二五）に石鳥居を寄進したのに次いで、三代勝貞は、山城伏見城にあった能舞台を入手奉納したのである。能舞台は組立式で、すべて枘差し、込栓打ちで、屋根もパネル式になっている」（『広島県文化百選 4 (建物編)』中国新聞社）。

Very quiet and somewhat impressive shrine with large stone Tori gates and some quite steep stairs. The main shrine certainly appeared classic Japanese but many of the images in the pillars reminded me of one's I have seen in China.

(Translated by Google) It is pronounced Nunakuma Shrine. According to the shrine's history, when Empress Jingu stopped by Tomonoura on her way back from the conquest of the Three Kingdoms, she realized there was no other shrine in the area, so she enshrined Watatsumi no Mikoto, who had helped her when she crossed the sea on her conquest of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Empress Jingu offered a magnificent weapon called Izunotakatomo before the altar, and this place came to be called Tomo. The two enshrined deities are Owatatsumi no Mikoto and Susanoo no Mikoto. It is a magnificent shrine that sits majestically on the hilltop of Tomo. (Original) ぬなくま神社とお読みします。三韓征伐の帰りに鞆の浦に立ち寄った際、この地にお社がなかったことから、三韓征伐で海を渡る時にお世話になった綿津見命をお祀りしたのがはじまりと、ご由緒の中にありました。この時神功皇后は、稜威の高鞆（いづのたかとも）という武具を神前に納めたことから、この地を鞆と呼ぶようになったそうな。 ご祭神は大綿津見命と須佐之男命の2柱。鞆の高台に堂々と鎮座する立派なお社です。
