Reading the info plaque at Kokura Castle the first lord of Nakatsu castle was given surrounding lands and rules for a few years before being reassigned to Kokura. This is a relative small castle and we breezed through it along with a small museum/rest area to the side of the main keep.

A small castle in great condition. I was there by myself as no other visitors on that cold windy day

Nice castle with interesting exhibition. You can climb to the very top floor and enjoy a panoramic view.

Pretty nice small city castle. Lots of historic markers spread throughout, it was a nice 20 minute adventure. The restroom was clean, of course. 2023

Very cool castle with amazing artefacts inside to view! Also the views from the top are exceptional

Went there on 31 Mar, saw the sakura at the very peak. The place is totally lovely. U can reach there by free rental bike from tourist center. We went to the castle and the park...then took bus to maple yaba cyclying road. From yabakei cycling terminal ride back to aonodomon stop.

There is free parking, but this visit is not for those who are handicapped. Otherwise,, it is worth the time and effort to see it. The admission is very reasonable. The way the castle is made is totally different than European castles and is more akin to a guard tower than anything else. If you go, be sure to go behind the stairs of every level. There are hidden things hard to see on nearly every level.

Detailed. Fascinating. A little expensive? You be the judge.

Dropped by for a the Nakayasu manhole card

It’s a museum about Yukichi Fukuzawa. His face is drawn on the banknote.

(Translated by Google) Speaking of Nakatsu, it's fried chicken! Nakatsu Castle! Yukichi Fukuzawa! That's right. I enjoyed Nakatsu Castle first and then headed there on foot. The path is flat and easy to walk. The entrance is easy to find, so let's take a closer look inside the building. There are plenty of materials that history buffs will enjoy. Were there any childhood episodes? Once you are satisfied, take a walk around the garden. The compact yet impressive buildings and trees shone under the blue sky. As a bonus, there is also a statue of Yukichi Fukuzawa in front of the station. The statue of Yukichi peeking out from the heart of the promotion of learning is cute. (Original) 中津といえば唐揚げ！中津城！福沢諭吉！ですよね。先に中津城を楽しんでから徒歩で向かいました。フラットな道で歩きやすいです。入口も分かりやすくて、まずは館内をじっくり見学。歴史好きなら楽しめる資料が充実しています。幼少のエピソードもあったかな？満足したら庭を散策。コンパクトでありながら存在感のある建物と木々が青空の下で輝いていました。 おまけで駅前の福沢諭吉像も。学問のすすめのハートからのぞく諭吉像がかわいいです。

(Translated by Google) I'd like to share my impressions of visiting the Fukuzawa Yukichi Memorial Museum and his former home. The Fukuzawa Yukichi Memorial Museum was a valuable opportunity to deepen my knowledge, with detailed exhibits on his life and achievements. The exhibits were organized in an easy-to-view format, and I was particularly impressed by his writings and handwritten documents. The explanatory panels were also easy to understand, helping me understand Fukuzawa Yukichi's philosophy and the historical context. The former home was quaint, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of the time. The wooden architecture and gardens have been beautifully preserved, allowing me to immerse myself in the historic atmosphere. The guide's explanations were thorough, and attention to detail was evident. Overall, I recommend this spot to history buffs and those interested in education. The quiet, peaceful environment, allowing for a leisurely tour, was also appealing. (Original) 福沢諭吉記念館と旧家を訪れた際の感想を共有いたします。 福沢諭吉記念館は彼の生涯や功績が詳しく展示されており、知識を深める貴重な場でした。展示物は見やすく整理され、特に彼の著作や直筆の文書が印象的でした。また、解説パネルがわかりやすく、福沢諭吉の思想や時代背景を理解するのに役立ちました。 旧家は趣があり、当時の生活様式を垣間見ることができました。木造の建築や庭園が美しく保存されており、歴史的な雰囲気に浸ることができます。ガイドの説明も丁寧で、細部まで気配りが感じられました。 全体的に、歴史好きの方や教育に興味がある方におすすめのスポットです。静かで落ち着いた環境で、じっくりと見学できるのも魅力的でした。

(Translated by Google) The former residence itself doesn't have much of an impact. The only thing that is a bit surprising is the doll of Fukuzawa Yukichi as a child, with its flat face. However, the memorial museum next door is well worth a visit. It's just the right place for people who don't know exactly what he did. I didn't know the details either, so it was a learning experience. We spent about 30 minutes there. After visiting the memorial museum, we recommend you visit the former residence. (Original) 旧居自体には、そこまでインパクトあるものはありません。幼少期の福澤諭吉の人形がのっぺり顔でちょっと驚く程度です。 しかし、そのお隣の記念館の方は見応えありです。何した人かよく分かってない人などにはちょうど良いかと思われます。かく言う私も細かいことは分かっていなかったので、勉強になりました。 滞在時間は30分程でした。ぜひ記念館に行かれた後に旧居の方に行ってみてください。

(Translated by Google) While searching for tourist spots in Nakatsu, I learned that this area had a connection to Fukuzawa Yukichi, so I visited this memorial museum. His former residence was beautifully preserved. Since photography isn't allowed inside the museum, I carefully perused the materials. I was surprised to find that the very first and last 10,000 yen bills were housed here. (Original) 中津の観光場所を探していると 福沢諭吉に縁のある土地だと知り この記念館へ 旧居はきれいに保存されていました 記念館は写真が撮れないので じっくり資料を読みました 一万円札の1番最初と終わりが ここにあることに驚きました

👍

Nice place

Beautiful in autumn.

(Translated by Google) I visited Usa Jingu Shrine for the first time after learning that the main shrine is located there! The inner shrine is a triangular pond, and the building is the lower shrine! It has an ancient Shinto feel to it, and it was very charming! I was also very interested in seeing what were called the god's footprints! It's a place I want to go back to! ^ - ^ (Original) 宇佐神宮の元宮があるのを初めて知って伺いました！内宮が三角池で、建物が下宮！古神道的な感じで、趣がありました！また、神様の足跡なるものも、興味深く拝見しました！また行きたいと思える場所です！^ - ^

(Translated by Google) I got there from the prefectural road, but there were no signs for the shrine or parking lot, so I wandered around aimlessly. It seems that both the vacant lot in front of the torii gate and the vacant lot next to the bus stop are parking lots. There were no signs from the parking lot either, so I wandered around aimlessly to get to the main hall and to the Oike pond! I received a goshuin stamp, but the person who gave it seemed quiet, so it was less than appreciated. The Oike pond was full of aquatic plants, and water lilies and lotus flowers were in bloom. (Original) 県道から行きましたが、神社や駐車場の看板がなくウロウロ。鳥居の前の空き地もバス停横の空き地も駐車場のようです。 駐車場からも何も表示がなく、拝殿行くのも、御池に行くのもウロウロ！ 御朱印を頂きましたが、無口な方のようで有り難みが半減しました。 御池は水草がいっぱいで睡蓮と蓮の花が咲いていました。

(Translated by Google) September 2, 2025 I came here to see a photo of a beautiful torii gate in a pond. Unfortunately, the pond was currently filled with lotus flowers and aquatic plants. It seems like it was a bad time to visit. This is a very historic shrine. (Original) 2025/9/2 素敵な池の中の鳥居の写真を見て来ました 残念ながら、今は池が蓮や水草でいっぱいでした 時期が悪かったみたいです とても由緒ある神社になります

(Translated by Google) A sacred pond with a large camphor tree and rushes growing in it. I offered my birthday prayers at this wonderful shrine, which exudes a sacred atmosphere. (Original) 大きな楠に真菰の生息する御神体の池。神聖な氣が漂う素晴らしい神社で誕生日のお祈りを捧げました。

An interesting history here. It's a shame that in more modern times a road has been carved through this magnificent cliff, only to be closed due to rock fall hazard. Still, a nice quiet place to go for a walk and enjoy some scenery.

The entrance that Google lists is closed due to renovation. Instead, go to Statue of Zenkai-osho 禅海和尚の像 to access the other end of the tunnel cave.

An interesting tunnel through the rock. The historical small tunnel worth a look.

It's beautiful and great sight. You have to go to there.

The tunnel is made by hand-power according to the information available at this historical site. It is unbelievable!

Nice piece of history. Beautifully scenic area in the mountains

It's almost impossible to believe that one person dug this tunnel on there own - WITHOUT the help of machines!

No phones, no camera allowed. Cable car out of order. Don't waste your time coming here.

Serene and simply stunning! We met with Eika HOKA, a nun whose father initiated the reconstruction of Rakanji Temple 48 years ago in 1969. Eita speaks English as she lived in Spain previously. She informed us that the original temple was burned down 74 years ago in 1943. A visit to the Murodō Cave to check out the 500 arahan (aka rakan or enlightened beings). According to Eita, the hundreds of buddha statues are originals. Wow! Psst! The cable chair return ride, at ¥700 per adult, is a must try. Once in the temple, pay another ¥300 per adult to go to the apex where one can pay respect to the golden standing Buddha and ring the bell two times for good tidings. Btw, the panoramic view of the distant mountains is awesome!

It is a hundreds years old temple with thousands buddha statues. Sorry that no photo is allowed on the buddha statues. the cable ride is quite fun and i can see the amazing autumn leaves view along the ride.

We were excited to visit this temple, but our excitement was spoiled already at the entrance, where we were scrutinized to see if they would give us the 1000 yen entry permit to the mountain. Some people were sent away in quite a rude manner. After we received the tickets and were told 'no photos', we were free to go up to the temple. The path to the temple is beautiful, but unfortunately 'no photos' because - we were told - 'to look with our hearts '. After we reached the actual temple we were yelled at by one of the staff in a very rude manner. It was an exceptionally unpleasant experience and it was the first time in my 25 years of visiting Japan regularly, that I was addressed so impolitely. I think the place is beautiful, but the staff ruins the experience. I will not return and would not recommend anybody to visit.

You cannot visit this temple if you don’t have an interpreter ! We drove an hour to finally be stopped at the entrance . Too bad

Beautiful shrine on the mountain. you have to take a cable to go up there or walk about 10 km. Photos not allowed but no sign anywhere in English to tell peoples. Yes we got yelled at it.

Fun place to visit as you travel by the little cable seat. Try walking down for a difference..although views coming down on the cable seat is lovely too. 30-45 mins-done!:)

A very beautiful and sereen garden. It is quite small, but the walk is nice and the garden design is absolutely stunning!

Must visit! Super peaceful and calming

A beautiful garden. The soba restaurant has great view and tasty dessert, and the owner speaks fluent English.

Very Beautiful Japanese garden for Autumn seassons. So many momiji tree here🍁

The Japanese style garden is so beautiful in combine with maple. It is free and almost no visitor during week day that makes you to get a lots of good pictures.

Very pretty ! See for yourself .

It was a good place for seeing maple leaves.

I visited on the 8/11/24 and not much autumn foliage to be seen. Apparently the autumn foliage in Japan was delayed in 2024 by roughly a month. That being said I would suggest visiting from at least the 3rd week of November to see the autumn foliage. Other than the autumn foliage it's still a lovely place with tourist shops and a nice walk or two near the river.

Visited on November 11, 2023. Not sure if the autumn colors had not arrived or were gone, there was not much autumn to see though the small shops alongside the road are quite lovely.

I think it’s beautiful place in Autumn 🍂. I went there on spring on that time it’s only pretty geen. If you plan to travel there it’s better on September or October.

Beautiful, especially middle of november. Quite a lot of tourists, try to arrive early. We ate boar soup (shishi nabe) and deer on a stick (shika kushi). Lovely photo spot. Get in and out before 11.30am if you can.

It was alright if you’re passing by you can stop but nothing amazing in my opinion

Beautiful site of autumn leaves.

A good but tiny place to see the rocks. Park at the public one and walk for 10 minutes

(Translated by Google) I arrived 20 minutes before opening. I signed my name on the register inside the restaurant and was already 10th in line. As soon as the restaurant opened at 11:00, I was shown to my seat after paying in advance and then went to the counter to pick up various dishes. I had konjac, hijiki seaweed, meat and potato stew, fried chicken, and many other dishes, as well as dumpling soup, chestnut rice, curry, pasta, and a vegetable-based menu, but there were also many dishes I couldn't easily make myself. For dessert, there was pudding, pear, and Shine Muscat grapes! However, the Shine Muscat grapes were gone in an instant. Then there was sweet potato. 💦 I was full and would like to return when the season changes! (Original) 開店20分前に到着。店内の名簿に名前を書くとすでに10番目。11時開店と同時に前払いで席に案内され、いろんな料理を取りにカウンターへ。こんにゃく、ひじき、肉じゃが、唐揚げ、他いろいろ、だご汁に栗ご飯、カレーやパスタ、野菜メインでしたが自分ではなかなか作れない料理がたくさんありました。デザートにプリン、梨、シャインマスカットも！ただシャインマスカットは、出たら一瞬でなくなって そのあとはさつまいもでした💦 お腹いっぱいで季節が変わったらまた行きたいです！

(Translated by Google) We arrived just after 11am on a weekday. The tables were already full. It's popular. First of all, the price is 1500 yen, which is cheap these days. However, the time is a little short at 60 minutes. Also, the drink bar is 250 yen extra. At 1750 yen in total, it's not that cheap. However, they have ice cream, which is rare for a buffet. And the taste is pretty average. There are some low quality dishes mixed in, like chijimi, curry, and vinegared chicken. And they may be a little salty. There aren't that many varieties. Also, the interior is dark overall, the lighting is a little bad, and the distance between the seats is quite close. The tatami mats may be a little dirty. There's nothing about it being a comfortable place to eat or having a nice atmosphere. Overall, it's "average". It's okay to go, but you don't have to go out of your way to go. I prefer the buffet at Konoha Garden in Hita City. Yes. (Original) 平日の11時過ぎに到着。既にテーブル席は埋まっていました。人気ですね。 まず価格、1500円は今時安い。ただ時間は60分と少し短め。またドリンクバーは別で250円。トータル1750円だとそこまで安いとはならなくなる。ただビュッフェでは珍しくアイスがある。 そして味はまぁ普通かな。チヂミとかカレーとか酢鶏とかクオリティ低いのも混じってる。そして塩分濃いめかも。種類もそんなに多くはないかな。 それと全体的に店内が暗く、衛星の部分が少し悪く、隣との距離も近め。畳もちょっと汚いかも。落ち着いて食べたり雰囲気が良いとか、そんなんは一切無いっす。 総合評価としては「普通」です。別に行ってもいいけも、無理して行かなくてもいい。僕は日田市の木の葉ガルデンのビュッフェの方が好きかな。はい。

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is not suitable for young people, but you can eat a filling vegetable-based meal to your heart's content. The reason it's not suitable for young people is that it's a buffet style with side dishes that have ingredients, cooking methods, and flavors that are suitable for older people, and I think the only strong meals are Nakatsu fried chicken and curry. Among the side dishes I received this time, the ``simmered konnyaku'' was the best. The texture is like a hard gummy candy, but the taste is soaked and the rice goes well. In addition, the seasoning brings out the flavors of the ingredients, making it feel like I've had a delicious side dish for the first time in a while. It is possible to make a reservation at this store, but please be aware that if you make a reservation over the phone, the staff will write your name on a notebook at the entrance in the order in which they received your call before the store opens, and you may not be able to take a seat or be skipped if you are not there when your name is called. As of April 2025, you can use PayPay for payment. (Original) 若い人向きではないが、野菜系の食事が腹いっぱい食べられるレストランです。 若向きではない理由は、年配向けの材料や調理法・味付けのお惣菜が並ぶビュッフェスタイルで、濃いめの食事は中津唐揚げとカレーくらいかなと思います。 今回頂いたお惣菜の中では「こんにゃくの煮物」が最高でした。 歯ごたえがハードグミ並みに固いが味が染み染みで、ご飯がすすみます。 ほかにも素材の味が活きた味付けで、久しぶりに「美味しいお惣菜」をいただいた感じです。 こちらの店舗予約が可能とのことですが、電話で予約するとお店の方が開店前に、電話を受けた順に入口のノートに名前を書いてくれるといったもので、決して席を取ってくれるや、名前を呼ばれたときに居なければ飛ばされるなどありますのでご注意ください。 2025年4月現在、支払いはPayPayが使えました。

(Translated by Google) My husband and I visited the store after 13:00 on Saturday, the first day of Golden Week, after walking around Yabakei's nemophila fields and Ao-no-domon. I had intended to change the time a bit, but there were 7 or 8 groups waiting in front of me. I decided to write my name and wait. After waiting for about 20 minutes, I was called, so I paid the buffet fee and drink bar fee and took a seat. By the way, the buffet fee is 1,500 yen per adult + 250 yen for a drink bar (tax included).If you are over 65 years old, the buffet fee is 1,350 yen. The time limit is 60 minutes. As it is a farm restaurant, there are many vegetable menus. In addition to handmade side dishes such as konjac stew, stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork (?), hijiki, fried kiriboshi daikon radish, potato salad, seasonal vegetable tempura, garland chrysanthemum with sesame, shiitake mushrooms with mustard, soba salad, and fried chicken, there are also desserts such as chiffon cake, pudding, and coffee jelly. The side dishes had a light flavor that was gentle on the body and were delicious. The store is stocked with souvenirs such as local vegetables, handmade konnyaku, pickles, and sweets. Holland Bridge is also nearby, making it a perfect place to take a walk after dinner. I think the parking lot can accommodate more than 20 cars. (Original) GW初日の土曜日の13:00過ぎ、耶馬渓のネモフィラ畑と青の洞門を散策後に夫婦で来店。 時間を少しずらしたつもりだったが、前に7、8組待っていた。とりあえず名前を書いて待つことに。 20分くらい待って呼ばれたので、バイキング料金とドリンクバーの料金を支払って着席。ちなみにバイキングは大人1人1500円＋ドリンクバー250円（税込）65才以上だとバイキング料金が1350円になる。制限時間は60分。 農家レストランだけあって、野菜メニューが沢山。こんにゃくの煮物、たけのこと豚肉の炒め煮（？）、ひじき、切り干し大根の炒め煮、ポテトサラダ、季節野菜の天ぷら、春菊のごま和え、椎茸の辛子和え、そばサラダ、鶏の唐揚げなどなど、手作りのお惣菜に加え、シフォンケーキやプリン、コーヒーゼリーなどのデザートも。お惣菜は身体に優しい薄味で、美味しかった。 店内には地元のお野菜や手作りこんにゃく、お漬物、お菓子などのお土産も充実。近くにはオランダ橋もあり、食後の散策にもってこい。 駐車場も20台以上は駐車出来ると思う。

(Translated by Google) July 2015 All-you-can-eat buffet for adults 1,500 yen. The pumpkin and eggplant were delicious. The peach dessert after the meal was so good it melted in my mouth. (lol) (Original) R7年7月 バイキング食べ放題大人￥1500。 かぼちゃとナスが美味しかった。 食後デザートの桃が絶品でとろけました （笑）

(Translated by Google) I came here just in time for the restaurant to open for lunch, and it quickly filled up with customers, probably because of the nemophila season at nearby Ao-no-domon. There were many side dishes using seasonal rape blossoms, bamboo shoots, and koshiabura, and the konjac stew had a good flavor and was very delicious. The komatsuna juice that you can drink at the drink bar for an additional fee is delicious, but I felt that the apple and tomato flavor was stronger than the komatsuna. It's a little pricey if you add a drink bar, but it's very delicious and satisfying. (Original) ランチ時間開店に合わせて来ましたが、近くの青の洞門のネモフィラのシーズンのせいなのかすぐにお客さんでいっぱいになりました。 料理は旬の、菜の花や筍にコシアブラを使った惣菜が多く有り、こんにゃくの煮物が味が良く染みててとても美味しかったです。 別料金のドリンクバーで飲める小松菜ジュースは美味しいのですがリンゴとトマトの風味の方が小松菜より強く感じました。 ドリンクバーを付けるとちょっと高めですがとても美味しく満足です。

(Translated by Google) It's about 10km from the roadside station Nakatsu, so I'll stop by while I'm there. The seasonal menu for that day was bamboo shoot tempura and fresh onion with rice, and the main menu was vegetables (deep-fried chicken and mackerel nanban were also available), so it might be difficult for young people. As time goes by and there are fewer customers, they won't be restocking, so it might be better to go as early as possible. If you create a stamp card, you can receive a discount for every 10 stamps you get. (as of April 2025) (Original) 道の駅中津から約10kmなので行ったついでに寄る感じです。 この日の季節のメニューは筍の天ぷらと新玉葱のおかか和え、野菜メインのメニュー（鶏唐揚げと鯖の南蛮とかは一応有り）なので若い人には厳しいかもしれない。 時間が下がり客が少なくなると補充もしなくなるので出来るだけ早目に行った方が良いかもしれません。 スタンプカードを作ればスタンプ10個毎に割引が受けれます。（2025/4現在）

(Translated by Google) Fan Appreciation Pack + Potato 2 I made a reservation online. I got it right away. The parking lot is spacious and easy to park. A taste that you stop eating after a year. (Original) ファン感謝パック＋ポテト2 ネット予約して行ったから すぐもらえた。 駐車場もソコソコ広く、停めやすい。 年1で食べなくなる味。

(Translated by Google) This KFC Fried Chicken is easily accessible, located near Nakatsu Station. The eat-in area is bright and the takeout process is smooth. It can get crowded even during the weekday afternoons, but the wait time felt relatively short. The "Chicken Day Pack" is a particularly good deal, allowing you to enjoy a slightly more luxurious experience than usual. The original chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the aroma of freshly cooked chicken is sure to whet your appetite. Another great point is that drinks are the same price regardless of size. As you'd expect from Nakatsu, the mecca of fried chicken, the fast food here is satisfying enough. It's the perfect place for a quick treat after shopping or on a drive. (Original) 中津駅近くでアクセスも良いケンタッキーです。イートイン席は明るく、テイクアウトもスムーズに受け取れます。平日昼間でも混むことがありますが、待ち時間は比較的短く感じました。 特に「とりの日パック」の日はお得で、いつもより少し贅沢気分を味わえます。オリジナルチキンは外はサクッと、中はジューシーで、出来立ての香りが食欲をそそります。ドリンクがサイズ関係なく同一料金なのもありがたいポイントです。 からあげの聖地・中津にあるだけあって、ファストフードでも十分満足できる味。買い物帰りやドライブ途中のちょっとしたご褒美にぴったりなお店です。

(Translated by Google) Kentucky🎶 I want to try Kentucky's limited quantity burger! That's why I was brought to Kentucky in Yume Town Nakatsu. It's a regular KFC that you can find anywhere. I came a little late at lunch time, but it was pretty crowded. Other than here, I wonder if it would be Yukuhashi or Beppu? The inside of the store is also beautiful. The customer service was polite and there were no problems. This time, it was delicious! (Original) ケンタッキー🎶 ケンタッキーの数量限定バーガーが食べたい！って事で連れて来られたゆめタウン中津の中にあるケンタッキー。 何処にでもある、普通のケンタッキーです。 少しランチタイムをずらしてきましたが、かなり混んでいました。 ここ以外だと、行橋か別府になるのかな？ 店内も綺麗ですね。 接客も丁寧で問題ありませんでした。 今回も、美味しく頂きました！

(Translated by Google) Maybe it's because I'm busy, but I'm concerned about the dirt on the floor. There was no explanation given to the questionnaire, and it was disposed of before being shown to customers. Even though I love Kentucky, my feelings for this one have been reduced in half. (Original) 忙しいのもあるでしょうが、床の汚れが気になる。アンケートに対して説明がなく、客に見せる前に処分してる。折角、ケンタッキー好きなのに気持ちが半減する。

(Translated by Google) There is a line at lunchtime even on weekdays. The taste was definitely delicious, but I felt that the meat was a little tougher than usual. Drinks were 100 yen regardless of size, which was helpful! I will go again! (Original) 平日でも昼時は行列。 味は、確かに美味しかったけど少しいつもより肉が固かったような気がしました。 飲み物がサイズ関係なしに100円なので助かりました！また、行きます！

(Translated by Google) They were taking endless orders from customers, self-service customers, and mobile users, and it took a long time to hand them over. Why not give some thought to the way sales are conducted? (Original) 接客、セルフ、モバイル等注文をエンドレスで受けて、受け渡しがかなり時間かかった。 販売のあり方少しは考えたら？

(Translated by Google) Kentucky is located in Nakatsu, a sacred place for fried chicken, and there is always a line on the 28th of every month. Kentucky Fried Chicken, which I sometimes eat, is also good. (Original) からあげの聖地中津にあるケンタッキーですが、毎月28日のとりの日には行列が出来てます。たまに食べるケンタッキーフライドチキンもいいものです。

(Translated by Google) I went on a group tour, but there were too few restrooms, and even though there were fewer restrooms, the lock on the second floor was broken. Isn't it better to do such maintenance properly? Especially if you accept group tours. I had a bad impression that they seemed to be neglecting the use of restrooms. The upper floors of the store require narrow stairs, which may be inconvenient for some people. I was traveling with an elderly person, so I had to be careful on the stairs. I had the conger conger course, and although it had a slightly strong country flavor, it was delicious. (Original) 団体ツアーで参加しましたが、お手洗いの数が少なすぎ、しかもお手洗いの数が少ないのに2階は鍵が壊れているという。そういうメンテナンスはきちんとしたほうが良いのでは？団体ツアーを受け入れるなら特にです。お手洗いを軽んじている感じで印象が悪かったです。 店内上層階は狭い階段移動、不便な方もいるでしょう。高齢者と同行したので、階段には気を使いました。 ハモコースをいただきましたが、食事は田舎のやや濃いめの味付けでしたが、美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established Japanese catering shop. Their lunch menu is great value and delicious. They offer three lunch options: tempura, fried flounder, and chicken tempura, all for just 1,100 yen, which is hard to find. (Original) 老舗の和食仕出し屋さんです。昼のランチメニューがお得で美味い。天ぷら、カレイの唐揚げ、とり天の3種のランチ、いずれも1100円でこの内容は中々無い。

(Translated by Google) Used this place for a tour of all things conger eel. The conger eel dobinmushi, conger eel chawanmushi, and ochazuke made with conger eel shabu broth were delicious! There was a wide variety of dishes and I was satisfied with everything. During the rainy season, people tend to feel down, but this restaurant rejuvenated both body and mind (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠) (Original) 鱧尽くしツアー参加で利用 鱧の土瓶蒸し鱧の茶碗蒸し、鱧シャブの出汁使ったお茶漬けが美味しかったです! 品数多くどれも満足　梅雨時気持ちもダウンしがちですが心身ともに元気になりました(⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

(Translated by Google) I went to Nakatsu to eat conger conger. There are 3 stores listed. Two of these restaurants were closed on the scheduled day (even though it was a weekday...), so I went to Rurikyo. I was thinking of just flying in on the day, but I made a reservation early just in case. But I hope this is the correct answer lol My first conger conger in my life~♪ When parboiled or sashimi, the eel has a light, elegant flavor and a springy texture. The flavor of the dashi in the clay pot steamed and conger conger shabu is the best♪♪ Inevitably, we started drinking, and we had a blissful time. Thank you for the meal. (Original) ハモを食べに中津へ行って来ました。 リストアップしてた店は３軒。このうち予定日(平日なのに…)に２軒が休みだったので、瑠璃京さんへ。 当日飛び込みで行こうかと思ってたんやけど、念のため早めに予約を入れておきました。が、これが大正解やったばいw 人生初ハモ〜♪ 湯引きや刺身だとウナギを淡泊にした上品な旨さに、弾力のある食感やね。土瓶蒸しとハモしゃぶでは、ダシの旨さがバリ最高♪♪ 必然的に酒も進み、至福のひと時を過ごさせて頂きました。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) We were three Korean tourists who visited last week. We happened to stop by, but the friendly service and excellent customer service made our stay enjoyable. If I ever return to Nakatsu, I'd definitely go back. The hamo ryori here was a particularly memorable part of my trip to Nakatsu. (Original) 지난주 방문한 한국 관광객 3인입니다. 우연히 방문했는데 친절하신 응대와 좋은 서비스로 즐거운 시간 보냈습니다. 나카츠에 또 가게 된다면 꼭 다시 가고 싶습니다. 이번 나카츠 여행에서 이곳의 하모요리는 기억에 많이 남습니다.

(Translated by Google) I received a full course of conger conger. At first I thought I could eat it all, but it was so voluminous that I managed to finish it all without leaving anything behind. All of the dishes were elaborately prepared and very delicious. The conger conger shabu was so chewy that it was difficult to bite into it, so I thought it would be easier to eat if it were made a little smaller. I would definitely use it again. (Original) ハモのフルコースを頂きました。最初は余裕で食べられると思っておりましたがとてもボリュームがあり、何とか残さずに食べる事ができました。 どれも手の込んだ料理でとても美味しかったです。 ハモしゃぶの弾力が凄すぎて噛み切るのが大変だったので、もう少し小さくしてもらえると食べやすいと思いました。 ぜひまた利用したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) Around 12:50 PM on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 The employee driving the bus forced his way into the intersection despite making a right turn, blocking the path of those going straight. I honked the horn, but was met with glares. I don't understand why the violator would be the one to get glared at. Moreover, even though there were several passengers on board, the driver's driving lacked consideration for safety. He was driving with the store sign on his back, but he was completely unaware of the situation. (Original) 2025年8月12日㈫12時50分頃 バスを運転していた従業員が右折なのに無理やり進入してきたため、直進側が進行を妨害されました。 クラクションを鳴らしましたが睨まれました。違反者のほうが睨見つけるというのは全く意味が分かりません。しかもバスには何人もお客を乗せていたのに安全配慮に欠ける運転でした。 お店の看板を背負って運転をしているのに意識が欠落しています。

(Translated by Google) Soba restaurant on an island like Yeouido You order with a meal ticket at the entrance. I tried to order the katsudon and soba set, but there were no tickets available due to lack of ingredients, so I ordered ebidon soba (whole noodles). It tastes like spicy Korean udon soup, suitable even for Koreans. The quantity is enough for 1.5 bags. (Original) 여의도처럼 섬에있는 소바집 입구에서 식권으로 주문한다. 카츠동과소바세트를 주문하려했지만 재료부족인지 매표가 안되어 에비동소바(온면)으로 주문. 간이 한국인에게도 맞을정도로 얼큰한우동 국물느낌. 양도 봉지라면 1.5개분량으로 넉넉하다

(Translated by Google) We tried Zaru Soba, Sobakko Soft Serve Ice Cream, and Ikinari Dango. The Ikinari Dango was the best. The chewy skin, sweet sweet potato, and smooth bean paste were all delicious! The Sobakko Soft Serve Ice Cream was also very good! The rich, sweet milk-flavored soft serve ice cream blended beautifully with the fragrant soba and kinako (roasted soybean flour). The Zaru Soba was pretty tasty for a roadside station. (Original) ざる蕎麦と蕎麦っこソフトクリームといきなり団子を実食。一番美味しかったのはいきなり団子。モチモチ皮も甘いサツマイモも滑らかこしあんも全部美味しい! 蕎麦っこソフトクリームもかなり美味しい! 濃厚で甘いミルク味ソフトクリームと蕎麦ときな粉が香ばしさが上手く溶け合っている。 ざる蕎麦は道の駅としてはまずまずの味。

(Translated by Google) At Ishiusutei Domon Soba, I ordered a soba and rice bowl set. Both were delicious, with a carefully crafted flavor that really brought out the flavor of the ingredients. The soba was fragrant, had just the right amount of firmness, and went down smoothly. The broth was gentle, and the flavor really warmed my soul as I ate it. The rice bowl was also well-balanced and the portion was just right. The restaurant had a calming atmosphere, making it the perfect place to stop by in between sightseeing. The view of nature from the window was beautiful, and I was able to relax and enjoy my time there. 💗 It was a very satisfying lunch 🙂‍↕️ (Original) 石臼亭洞門そばでは、そばと丼もののセットを注文しました。 どちらもとても美味しく、素材の味がしっかり感じられる丁寧な味わいでした。 そばは香りが良く、コシも程よくてつるっと喉越しがいいタイプ。 出汁も優しく、食べ進めるうちに心までほっとするような味でした。 丼ものもバランスが良く、量もちょうどよかったです。 店内は落ち着いた雰囲気で、観光の合間に立ち寄るのにもぴったり。 窓から見える自然の景色も素敵で、ゆっくりとした時間を過ごせました💗 満足度の高いランチでした🙂‍↕️

(Translated by Google) I come every year to see the new soba in autumn, but last year I couldn't go due to timing, so I came here for the first time in a while (^o^) Yabakei gets quite crowded during the autumn leaves, so I went before the autumn leaves. The scenery around the restaurant is nice and the soba noodles are delicious. Tempura is crispy. It's just tempura soup, tasteless. I also want salt in addition to the tempura sauce. (Original) 秋の新そば目当てで毎年来てますが去年はタイミング合わずに行けなかったので久しぶりに来ました(^o^)紅葉時は耶馬渓はかなり混むので紅葉前に。お店の周りの景色もいいしお蕎麦も美味しい。天ぷらサクサクです。ただ天つゆ、、、味薄い。あと天つゆと別に塩も欲しいところです。

(Translated by Google) I had Sobakko soft serve ice cream. I wonder if it's soft serve ice cream topped with buckwheat flour? It has a nice fragrant aroma. It's also quite good on a buckwheat day. The buckwheat flour buns were very filling. Well, maybe because it was the off-season, there weren't many people around. (Original) そばっこソフトをいただきました。 ソフトクリームにそば粉のいったものがかけてありのかな？香ばしく香りはなかなかよい。 そぱ粉ー日もなかなか。そば粉饅頭は中たっぷり。まあオフシーズンだからか人は少なめ。

(Translated by Google) The udon and soba noodles are boiled in the same pot, so unfortunately you don't get soba soup. I was a bit disappointed, so I gave it 3 stars. (Original) 饂飩と蕎麦を同じ釜で茹でているので蕎麦湯がもらえないのが残念。モヤモヤしたので星3つ。

(Translated by Google) I had Zaru Soba noodles. Since it was late, the food was served quickly. Zaru Soba noodles have a great soba aroma and texture, and are delicious. I'll definitely eat them again if I'm in the area. (Original) ざる蕎麦を頂きました。遅い時間だったので提供も早かったです。 ざる蕎麦は、そばの香りや食感も良くて、美味しいです。 また近くに来たときは、食べます。
