Always love the walk up the mid hills to the temple as it is a good workout and it gives a breathtaking view as well. The temple is nicely done up and is quite huge.

Wonderful shintoist temple with a path going up from the town similar to the Kyoto Inari temple. From there, you can also climb to the castle ruins in about 30 minutes or go up with the chair lift, where you will have an amazing view of the tsuwano city and its valley!

Definitely worth the trip up the mountains for this. One of the most sacred and beautiful shrines in Japan, and definitely worth a visit if you want to avoid the overcrowded touristy places!

I absolutely loved this place. Amongst one of my most memorable places in Japan. I didn’t see any monks during my visit, but it was a working Shrine and I have no doubt they’re there. There is a column of Tori gates as well, plus the biggest Tori gate I’ve ever seen guarding the entrance to the town and Shrine. Admission and parking is free, but souvenir’s are offered for sale to support the Shrine. Definitely worth a visit!

A small Japanese Shrine located at mid-levels. Not many tourists and it is easy to find. Beautiful old Japanese architecture. There is a great view outside the Shrine. The drive along and the stay there will be refreshing.

(visits 1) Parking was free. No English here. This place is not really meant for foreign tourists. It's a shrine more than tourist attraction. I was here for the nearby castle and this is where the parking was. I of course went to check out the shrine. It was beautiful. The view was beautiful. But I felt rather out of place as I realized this very much more a shrine shrine rather than a tourist shrine. I quickly left to go find the castle.

The shrine is the highlight of Tsuwano town especially if you know where to find the rear entrance. Taikodani Inari-jinja shrine has a big impact on the town of Tsuwano. One of the roads down into the town has an impressive big red gate as if the hole town is part of the shrine precinct. You can see the shrine from most place in the town overlooking the valley. It was built to protect the castle that no longer stands. The shrine has resulted in the popularity of deep fried tofu skin noodles and the same stuffed with rice, which are likewise named after the fox, inari, that is said to like to eat them. There is a car park directly in front of the shrine allowing visitors to go to pray or purchase omamori talismen after having only climbed a short stair case, but above all, I recommend the rear entrance so that you can go through the "1000" scarlet gates, climbing 263 steps. I think that the red gates symbolise something very important. By going through 1000 of them one may perhaps attain a little more purity at the shrine at the top. The rear entrance, with all the red gates, an be accessed along the river bank near to Yasaka Jinja Shrine which is also marked on Google Maps. Unfortunately there is no car park so the designated driver will have to use the main entrance, or walk, or take a taxi from the station to Yasaka Jinja. Taikodani Inari-jinja shrine itself is very well pretty, if a little gaudy, and the views down onto the town are very pleasant. The shrine sells Hello Kitty, and fox depicting omamori amulets as well as more traditional omamori (good luck charm) variations. The fox is the messenger of the Esoteric Buddhism related god herein enshrined but offerings are often made to the fox. One can purchase the deep friend tofu skin to make as an offering at the shrine for that reason. The fox is associated with esoteric Buddhism and with sex. The fox is sometimes depicted as having a phallic tail. The shrine, and the town of Tsuwano, is 1 hour by car or steam locomotive (March to November) and two and a half hours by road bicycle along route nine from Yamaguchi, through the scenic valley of Choumonkyo and the apple production region of Tokusa. There is, incidentally another famous, and attractive multi-red gated shrine, Moto no Sumi Inari shrine on the coast in the adjacent Yamaguchi prefecture, near the corner of Honshu, and hence perhaps the name of the shrine which means "the base of the corner fox shrine" which is I think a very appropriate name and location for one of these red-gated fox shrines.

Main Street was super enjoyable to walk on, you can feed carps in the canal, it’s so much fun for kids and adults as well! Food was about ¥100. Was interesting to find out that long time ago those canals were used as a water supply in case of a fire and as an emergency food supply too (carps). Amazing.

Simply love the peace and quiet here. So clean and tidy too. One can relax by strolling along the non busy road taking in the picturesque scenery and the local culture. The fishes in the drains add to the beauty and tranquility of the place

This is a main sightseeing street of Twuwano town. A street surrounded by samurai houses and water canal. We can see swimming carps in a clear water of a canal. All housese are preserved and maintained as old Japan. There are shops, restaurants and Sake brewery to visit. It's a pleasure walk.

Surreal place in the middle of the mountains and koi ponds

Very pretty, nice to walk around

Fish in drain very clean

Wonderful

A nice little church in the heart of the small town. Beautiful glass stain windows.

If you"re a Catholic like me and you happened to pass by Tsuwano or visited Tsuwano,Japan , there is a solemn Catholic ⛪ church there. Please visit the church and feel the peace and holiness while praying for your devotion. Outside is a playground for kids and a mini museum where you can see photograps and some religious articles about catholicism history in Japan. You can also buy religious items like rosary, pamplets saints figurine, bracelets in a very cheap price . Outside the church you will surely love to watch Koi 's (japanese colorful fish) swimming in a very clean water canal . They are really wonderful , colorful and big different kind of fishes.

Quite at home and friendly. Also very holy place!

witness to the faith

(Translated by Google) I quickly visited Tsuwano Catholic Church and found it to be a very beautiful and peaceful place. The architecture is different, with a Western style on the outside, but the inside has tatami floors, which I found very interesting. It is worth stopping by if you are exploring Tsuwano. (Original) Visitei rapidamente a Tsuwano Catholic Church e achei o lugar muito bonito e tranquilo. A arquitetura é diferente, com um estilo ocidental por fora, mas o interior tem chão de tatami, o que achei bem interessante. Vale a pena dar uma passada se estiver explorando Tsuwano.

(Translated by Google) This was the first time I'd seen a church with tatami mats, other than Sakitsu Church in Amakusa. When I entered the church, I felt a different atmosphere and it was a strange feeling. (Original) 天草の崎津教会以外で、畳が敷いてある教会を初めて見ました。 教会内に入ると、空気感が違うのを感じられ 何だか不思議な感覚でした。

(Translated by Google) R7.5 When I was feeding the carp𓆛 in the river, I noticed a church‼️😳‼️It was a small but cute and beautiful church⛪️🙂I went inside🙂The glass stands were beautiful✨✨✨😌Outside there was an explanation of the church and an unmanned sales booth🙂 (Original) R7.5 川の鯉𓆛に餌をやっていると教会に気づきました‼️😳‼️小さいけどかわいい綺麗な教会⛪️でした🙂中にも入れました🙂スタンドグラスが綺麗でしたね✨✨✨😌外には教会の説明とか無人販売所がありました🙂

Highly recommend this as an intro to Tsuwano. The knowledgeable gentlemen here were eager to share their knowledge (in English). The display of 100 painted scenes is a trip into the past. Use QR for display additional info on gallery items.

Local knowledge and history for offer here. English spoken by a college professor who has a wealth of information and perspective. There is a small museum highlighting small paintings of old Tsuwano as well as cultural artifacts, including amazing heron dance costumes.

Very informative place about Tsuwani, with very friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Very friendly and informative staff!

A great opportunity to learn about Tsuwanos fascinating history. The exhibition is free and the staff is amazing, very helpful and so friendly. They know a lot about the area. Thank you so much for teaching us and your recommendations :)

Contains the 100 paintings of Tsuwano

beautifully explained heron dance

Museum with the works of the late Anno. There is a planetarium, but the seats were too painful to lie back on.

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 21, 2024. I would like to visit again when some sort of special exhibition is held! This museum has a deep and unfathomable charm that you won't be able to leave once you visit. First, focus on looking at Mr. Yasuno's work and reading his explanations! After that, while watching Mr. Yasuno's 16-17 minute introductory video produced by NHK Educational, read ``Mitsumasa Yasuno's Record 1'' and ``Mitsumasa Yasuno's Record 2'' on the table. If you do so, I think that the works that Mr. Yasuno drew, his thoughts on each work that are written in the explanatory text, and his thoughts on this museum will become more deeply embedded in your heart. It was Mr. Yasuno's own wish when this museum was created, and it has a school-like structure, and in the library, you can carefully read his books and picture books. You will be able to remember the excitement once again as you wonder, ``Is this the work that was published in this book?'' No matter how many times I watched the video, I never got tired of it, and I watched it three times and spent almost three hours watching it. Perhaps because it is a municipal facility, the staff were very courteous when dealing with visitors. I also appreciated that if you use the parking lot in front of the station before coming to the museum, the parking fee is free. The staff's explanations were very thorough and helpful. I want to visit again and again and learn more about Mr. Yasuno. I felt that not only Mr. Yasuno himself but also the museum itself was an important treasure and asset of Tsuwano Town. Highly recommended for those who like paintings and visiting museums! The location is good as it is right next to the station. This is an art museum that we hope will continue to be visited and loved by as many people as possible. (Original) 2024年8月21日に訪れました。 また　何らかの企画展が催されたときに訪れたい！　一度訪れておしまい、では済まされない、深く底知れない魅力がこの美術館にはあります。 まずは、安野さんの作品を見て、その解説を読むことに集中して！　その後、NHKエデュケーショナルが制作した、16～17分ほどの安野さんの紹介ビデオを視聴しつつ、テーブルにある『安野光雅の記録　1』『安野光雅の記録　2』を読むことです。すると、安野さんの描いた作品そのものや、解説文にもある安野さんの各作品への思い、この美術館に対する思いなどが自分の心のなかにより、入り込んでくると思います。 この美術館がつくられるにあたっての安野さんご自身のご希望でもあった、学校ふうのつくりもよく、そのひとつである図書室では安野さんの著書や絵本をじっくり読むことができ、「最初にみたあの作品は、この本に掲載されていたものだったのか！」と、改めての感動をおぼえることもできます。 ビデオだけでも何度視ても飽きなくて、三回くらい繰り返し視て、三時間近く過ごせました。 町立ということがあってか、スタッフさま方の来館者への対応もとても丁寧でした。 駅前の駐車場を利用した上で来館すると、駐車場代がただになるのもありがたかったです。その際のスタッフさまの説明も丁寧でよかったです。 もう、何回でも何回でも訪れて、安野さんについてより深く知り、学びたいと思えました。安野さんご自身もさることながら、この美術館そのものも津和野町の大切な大切な宝、財産とまで思えました。絵画、美術館めぐりがお好きな方には強くお勧めいたします！　駅のすぐそばというのも好立地でよいです。これから先もずっと、ひとりでも多くの方に訪れてもらって、愛されてほしい美術館です。

(Translated by Google) We spent about three hours there, taking our time and looking around the planetarium. You can re-enter on the same day. The planetarium is open at 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00, and lasts about 35 minutes. You must make a reservation at the reception desk to use the planetarium. I was wondering why there was a planetarium in an art museum, but I heard from Mr. Yasuno that art and science are inseparable, and that he wanted everyone to understand the importance of imagination. The building's beautiful exterior blends in with the Tsuwano cityscape, and the interior has a warm, nostalgic feel. It was worth the long trip. (Original) ゆっくりじっくり、プラネタリウムも見て滞在時間3時間くらいでした。 当日中なら再入場も出来ます。 プラネタリウムは12:00、13:00、14:00、15:00からあり、35分程です。 プラネタリウムは受付で予約をしなければなりません。 なぜ美術館にプラネタリウムがあるのか不思議でしたが、 安野さんの声で 芸術と科学は切っても切り離せないものである、 また空想することの大切さをみんなに知ってほしいという旨の話が聞けました。 建物は津和野の街並みにとけこむ素敵な外観で、 内装もあたたかみと懐かしさを感じられます。 遠方から訪れた甲斐がありました。

(Translated by Google) This elegant art museum offers a backdrop of Mitsumasa Anno's hometown, particularly Mt. Aono. Enjoy the recreations of his classroom and studio, among other exhibits. With multiple exhibition rooms, each visit offers unique, thematically-focused works. In addition to picture books, the museum collection includes a wide variety of illustrations for serialized works, as well as works for both adults and children. The museum shop is also well worth a visit; you'll be spoiled for choice. Anno is a unique artist, gentle and beautiful, never overbearing, yet with a hint of mischief. Because he made his major debut late, everyone knows how passionately he created his works once he became popular. This museum is well worth a visit, offering leisurely viewing and a great selection of souvenirs. Located just a stone's throw from Tsuwano Station, this is the starting point for the steam locomotive that runs from Tsuwano to Yamaguchi Station. Tsuwano Station also features a locomotive exhibit, making it a fun place for children to ride. (Original) 安野光雅さんの郷土の風景とりわけ青野山を背景にした瀟洒な美術館。往時の教室を再現した展示ルームや、アトリエの再現などもあり楽しめます。いくつも展示部屋があり、毎回行くたびに展示テーマ別のこれまであまり見る機会のない作品に出会えます。 絵本以外に連載の挿絵、大人向け子供向けなど幅広い作品が収蔵されています。 ミュージアムショップも充分見るに値するし、選択に迷うほどです。 優しく美しく決して押し付けないそれでいて悪戯っぽさのある唯一無二の作家です。本格デビューが遅かった為、人気が出てからの作品づくりの熱量は、皆知るところです。 ゆっくり観覧でき、お土産も魅力的な遠方から訪問するに値する良き美術館でした。 津和野駅の目と鼻の先に位置し、津和野発山口駅行きのSLの起点です。機関車の展示もある駅で子供にも楽しめる津和野駅です。乗れますよ。

(Translated by Google) This is an art museum that exhibits the works of Anno, who also wrote picture books such as the "Travel Picture Book" "Fushiginae" and essays. The building has a Japanese-style design, and when I visited the exhibition was "Anno Mitsumasa's Hometown Tsuwano Exhibition," which displayed paintings filled with Anno's feelings for his hometown. The annex seems to have recreated an old classroom, which may evoke nostalgia among older visitors. There is also a planetarium, some of which appear to be narrated by Anno. Admission is 800 yen for adults. (Original) 「旅の絵本」な「ふしぎなえ」などの絵本やエッセイなども書かれている安野さんの作品を展示している美術館です。和風の造りの建物で、訪問した時の展覧会は「安野光雅のふるさと津和野展」で、安野さんの故郷への思いが詰まった絵が並んでいました。別館では昔の教室を再現したようですが、年配の方にはノスタルジーを感じるのかもしれません。プラネタリウムもあり、一部は安野さんの語りのようです。入館料は一般800円でした。

(Translated by Google) Mr. Mitsumasa Anno was my art teacher in elementary school. I had a lot of fun in art class. (Original) 安野光雅先生は、私の小学校時代の図工の先生でした。図工の時間がとっても楽しかったです。

(Translated by Google) He is one of the people who were active in the Meiji and Taisho eras, who laid the foundations of modern Japan. Inside the museum, Mori Ogai's photographs, works, and favorite items are on display, and there is also a VTR that introduces his life and provides easy-to-understand explanations. There are chairs along the river where you can take a break, so you can enjoy the tour comfortably. It was also a memorial museum that I wanted to visit. It's far from Tsuwano Station, so I think you can take a leisurely tour by taking a bus or other vehicle. There is also a discount on the admission fee for those with a JAF card, and you can receive a nice bookmark-style admission ticket. (Original) 近代日本の礎を築いた、明治、大正時代に活躍した方々の一人です。館内は、森鴎外の写真や作品、愛用品を展示してあり、一生を紹介したVTRもあり分かりやすく説明してありました。川沿いには休憩出来る椅子もあり、無理なくゆっくり見学出来ます。また、行きたい記念館でした。津和野駅からは、離れてるのでバスなどの乗り物で移動すれば、ゆっくり見学出来ると思います。入館料は、JAFカード保有の割引もあり、しおり風の素敵な入場券を頂けます。

(Translated by Google) I'm glad I went because I was able to learn not only about Mori Ogai as a great man, but also about his sufferings and feelings at the time of his death that I didn't know about. (Original) 森鴎外の偉人としての一面だけではなく、知らなかった苦悩とか死ぬ間際の気持ちとか丁寧に知ることができ、行ってよかったと思いました。

(Translated by Google) One hour is definitely not enough. The museum had a wealth of materials, and his birthplace was faithfully recreated to look just like it did at the time. As he was a literary giant and a high-ranking military officer, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information there was. (Original) 1時間では足りないですよ。 記念館の資料は充実していましたし、生家も当時をしっかり再現していました。 文豪で高位の武官ということで、情報の多さに圧倒されました。

(Translated by Google) I went on a bike tour to the Mori Ogai Memorial Museum. It was my first time to go to Tsuwano, and it was quite a mountain. Now, I only had a vague idea of ​​what kind of person Mori Ogai was, but once you go inside, you'll find a detailed history on display from his birth to his death. I won't go into it here, but it was very interesting. I hope you will go and experience it for yourself. (Original) 森鴎外記念館にバイクでツーリングにでかけました。 津和野には初めて行きましたが、なかなかの山の中でした。 さて、森鴎外がどのような人物だったのかは、なんとなくしか知らなかったのですが、流石に中に入ると生誕から逝去するまでの細かい歴史が、展示されています。 ここでは省きますが、とても興味深い内容でした。 是非行って感じて頂ければと思います。

(Translated by Google) He is a famous person and the building is beautiful, but since it is a little far from the center of Tsuwano, not many people seem to visit. The exhibits seem to focus on the person, and as a memorial museum for an artist, it was quite easy to understand and interesting. (Original) 有名な人物ですし、建物もきれいなのですが津和野の中心から少し離れているせいかあまり見学する方は多くなさそうでした。展示は人物にフォーカスされている印象があり、作家の記念館としてはかなりわかりやすく面白かったです。

(Translated by Google) I visited on a Saturday around noon in mid-January. From visiting the building to leaving the room, I didn't meet anyone other than the receptionist. I'm not an educated person, but I only knew Mori Ogai as a writer, and I learned that he was a man of tremendous talent, including the fact that he was a doctor. However, I learned that the Mori family was a product of Spartan-style education, based on the family's desire for restoration and prosperity, which made me think about many things. The fact that Mori Ogai never visited Tsuwano after traveling at the age of 10 suggests that he had mixed feelings about Tsuwano, including the fact that his last words were "Iwami-jin." . I think it was a good museum, including some very interesting and modern buildings, but given that it was so deserted, the entrance fee was 600 yen (honestly, I felt it was expensive) → 200 yen to 300 yen ( I think it would be better to make it a little easier to enter (free of charge as a tourist resource to attract more people to visit Tsuwano), and more people would be able to enter. The paperback books at the souvenir shop were also tanned. thank you very much. (Original) 1月中旬、土曜日のお昼ごろに伺いました。建物訪問から、退室まで、受付の方以外に何方にも合いませんでした。不勉強な私は作家としての森鴎外しか知らず医師であることも含め、こちらでとてつもない才能を持った方であることを知りました。それでも森家の復興栄達という一家の望みによって、一種スパルタ式教育の産物であることも知り色々考えさせられもしました。森鷗外が10歳で旅だった後、一度も訪問しなかったことも、この津和野への思いも含めて、最後の言葉「石見人」であること等複雑な思いがあったことと伺えます。そういったことも含めてなかなか興味深くモダンな建物も含めて良い資料館ではあったと思うのですが、これだけ閑散としているならば、入場料を600円（正直高いと感じました）→200円～300円（いっそ津和野を訪れてもらう観光資源として無料）ぐらいにしてもうちょっと入りやすい設定にされた方が、もっと沢山の人たちに入ってもらえるのではないでしょうか。お土産屋さんの文庫本も日焼けしていました…。ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) A memorial hall built adjacent to Mori Ogai's former residence. You can also enter Ogai's former residence, where he was born, with a ticket to the memorial museum. Ogai, a literary giant from the Meiji and Taisho eras, has an old image, but the memorial hall is a modern building with a bright courtyard lined with objects, making it look like a modern art museum. Inside the museum, Ogai's career and works are introduced in detail. In particular, the explanations of Ogai's origins and career from birth to death are extremely detailed, allowing us to understand what kind of works Ogai accomplished while working as a military doctor. Up until now, I had only known portraits of Ogai in his old age, so seeing a very handsome photo of him when he was younger was refreshing. In addition, Ogai's handwritten manuscripts and favorite items were also on display. To be honest, I don't have many opportunities to read Ogai's works these days, but this visit made me want to reread some of the novels I read a long time ago. (Original) 森鷗外旧宅に隣接して設置された記念館。鷗外の生家である旧宅にも記念館のチケットで入場できます。 明治・大正の文豪で、古いイメージのある鷗外ですが、記念館はオブジェの並ぶ明るい中庭・モダンな建物で、現代アートの美術館のようです。 館内では鷗外の経歴と作品が詳細に紹介されています。特に鷗外の出自や、誕生から死に至る経歴の説明は非常に細かく、軍医であった鷗外がかたわらでどのような作品をものしていったのか、よくわかるようになっています。 これまで鷗外の肖像と言えば老年期のものしか知らなかったので、若いころのなかなかハンサムな写真も新鮮でした。 その他に、鷗外の自筆原稿や愛用の品なども展示されていました。 正直、現在は鷗外の作品に接する機会も余りありませんが、今回の訪問を機に、昔読んだ小説でも読み返してみようか、という気になりました。

Beautiful and quite place. It is a bit far away from the town center, only recommended for travelers with car or a passion for cycling (a bit of uphill), but if you want to just stroll around a beautiful old mansion, with perfect garden and orchestrated view, I can highly recommend. The changing of the leafs in the fall and the light up is also beautiful. (only 4 stars, because of the bad access, not enough buses/day)

Pure tranquility

wonderful garden and architecture.

(Translated by Google) Visited on November 3rd and 16th, 2024 Hori Garden is the former residence of Mr. Hori, a copper miner. It has a 300-year history as a hereditary official of the Copper Mine Toshiyori and is now a national scenic spot. Concerts and tea parties are held at this location.・Various events such as hibachi and footbath experiences are also held. Although it is located a little far from the center of Tsuwano town, it is an easy place to visit as there is a parking lot. I think it's beautiful during the autumn leaves, but I don't think it's a problem to visit anytime. If you are interested, this is a place you should visit at least once. (Original) 2024年11月3日、16日に訪問 堀庭園は、銅山師である堀氏の旧宅です。 銅山年寄役を世襲し天領差配家として300年の歴史を継いできた場所で国の名勝になっています。 この場所では、音楽会・お茶会。・火鉢と足湯の体験などの様々な催しも開催されています。 津和野町中心部からはちょっと離れたところにはありますが、駐車場もあり訪れやすい場所です。 紅葉の時期もきれいだと思いますが、いつ訪れても問題ないと思います。興味の沸いた方は是非一度は訪れてほしい場所です。

(Translated by Google) This is the home of a copper mine king during the Meiji period. It is a wonderful facility that remembers the prosperity of those days. I visited on a rainy weekday, so it was a private reservation. I had a luxurious time. (Original) 明治時代の銅山王のお宅です。当時の繁栄を偲ぶ素晴らしい施設です。雨の平日に伺ったので貸切でした。贅沢な時間を過ごせました。

(Translated by Google) It was a beautiful garden. I visited during the rainy season, which made it even more beautiful. Listening to the soft rain and gazing at the colorful flowers blooming, the carp swimming gracefully in the pond, and the vibrant green leaves was enough to cleanse the soul. I think the best time to see it is in the fall, but you can still enjoy it during the rainy season. In fact, there are sounds that can only be heard in the rain, so even in bad weather, it's worth visiting. It was a weekday and it was raining, so I was lucky to have the place all to myself. However, I felt a bit scared to be alone, so I recommend coming with someone. (Original) 美しい庭園でした。梅雨の時期に訪れましたが、それがまた美しさを際立たせていました。しとしとと落ちる雨を聞きながら、色鮮やかに咲く花々と池の中で優雅に泳ぐ鯉と鮮やかな緑の葉を眺めるだけで心洗われます。秋頃が見頃かと思いますが、梅雨時期でも充分楽しめます。むしろ、雨だからこそ聞こえる音があるので、悪天候でも一度足を伸ばされて下さい。 平日、雨とあって人はおらず独り占め出来たのもまたラッキーでした。ただ、なんとなく1人は怖かったので、誰かと一緒に来ることをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) The Former Hori Family Garden: A Quiet and Renowned Garden Interwoven with History and Nature Nestled in a quiet valley in Tsuwano, the Former Hori Family Garden is a historic garden built by the Hori family, a copper mining family that flourished from the Edo to Taisho periods. The garden is comprised of four areas: the front garden of the main house, the detached Rakuzanso Villa and its garden, Rakuzanen, the Warakuen Garden on the opposite bank, and the exterior garden of the former Hatasako Hospital. The most impressive feature was the strolling pond garden in Rakuzanen. The stone lanterns, waterfall rock formations, and swimming koi carp in the shade are picturesque, creating a timeless, cleansing tranquility. The view from the veranda is like a framed painting. The space, filled only with the sounds of the wind and water, naturally invites you to take a deep breath. The former Hatasako Hospital building, built in modern times, still stands on the grounds, offering a glimpse into the history of the Hori family, who also contributed greatly to welfare and medical care. The white walls and namako walls along the road are beautiful, and it's wonderful that the whole area has been preserved as a single historical landscape. This is a place you should definitely visit when you visit Tsuwano. Recommended for garden lovers and those with an interest in history. (Original) 歴史と自然が織りなす、静寂の名庭「旧堀氏庭園」 津和野の静かな谷間に佇む「旧堀氏庭園」は、江戸から大正時代にかけて栄えた銅山師・堀家が築いた歴史ある庭園です。庭園は主屋の前庭、離れの「楽山荘」とその庭「楽山園」、さらに対岸の「和楽園」、そして旧・畑迫病院の外構庭園の4エリアで構成されています。 特に印象的だったのは、「楽山園」の池泉回遊式庭園。木陰に佇む石灯籠や滝石組、泳ぐ錦鯉の姿が絵のように美しく、まるで時代を越えて心が洗われるような静けさに包まれます。縁側からの眺めは、額縁の絵画のよう。風の音と水音だけが響く空間に、自然と深呼吸がこぼれます。 また、敷地内には近代に建てられた旧畑迫病院の建物も現存しており、福祉や医療にも尽力した堀家の歴史の一端を感じることができます。 道沿いの白壁やなまこ壁も美しく、全体がひとつの歴史的景観として保たれているのが素晴らしいです。 津和野を訪れた際は、ぜひ足を運んでいただきたい場所です。庭園好きの方にも、歴史に興味がある方にもおすすめです。

A souvenir shop and restaurant, in the heart of the old town of Tsuwano. The building is itself more than 100 years old. They have a small cafe where the menu has a lot of pictures, and they also have a detailed ENGLISH explanation on the local cuisine Uzumemeshi. Both the cafe and the lunch is good, and one can eat or drink while looking out at the Registered Cultural Property Japanese Garden

Fun little souvenir shop. They have a really good dessert icecream shaved ice green tea

(Translated by Google) This cafe has a great atmosphere! It was snack time, so I ordered coffee jelly. The coffee jelly was firm and had a strong coffee flavor, allowing me to enjoy both the bitter and sour notes. It went perfectly with the fresh cream and syrup! The syrup was in a separate container, so I was able to adjust the sweetness to my liking. Whether you have a sweet tooth or prefer it bitter, this cafe is delicious for both. The staff were also very friendly and even asked me, "Where are you from?" There are many tourist attractions nearby, and right in front of me was a church that's a popular tourist spot, as well as a canal filled with carp. Carp food is sold for 100 yen, so you can feed the carp in the canal right in front of you! The cafe is also connected to a souvenir shop. I recommend stopping by for a break during your trip! (Original) とても雰囲気の良い喫茶店です！ おやつ時だったので、コーヒーゼリーを頼みました。コーヒーゼリーは固めでしっかりとコーヒーの味がし、苦味と酸味を楽しむことができます。生クリームやシロップとの相性が抜群でした！シロップは別の器に入っていたので、自分で甘さを調整することができるので、甘党の人、苦いまま楽しみたい人、どちらでもおいしくいただけると感じました。 お店の店員もとてもいい方で、「どこから来たの？」と話しかけてくださいました！ 周囲にはたくさんの観光地もあり、すぐ目の前には観光スポットとなっている教会や、鯉の泳いでいる水路などがありました。鯉の餌も100円で売っていて、すぐ目の前にある水路の鯉に餌やりをすることができます！ また、この喫茶店はお土産屋さんとつながっています。旅の途中、休憩がてらに立ち寄るのがおすすめです！

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on a recommendation from an acquaintance, and they had a wide variety of lunch and cafe menu items, all of which looked delicious. The interior of the store was stylish and there was a souvenir shop inside, so it was the perfect place to take a break. Maybe it was because it was a weekday, but the store had a calm atmosphere and the staff were friendly and willing to talk to you, so I think it would be fun to stop by. (Original) 知人からのオススメで寄らせていただいたのですが、ランチメニューや喫茶メニューなど種類が豊富で、どれも美味しそうでした。 店内の雰囲気もオシャレで中には土産屋もあるので一息つくのにピッタリだと思います。 平日だったのもあるかもしれませんが店内は落ち着いた雰囲気でスタッフの方が気軽に話しかけてくださるので立ち寄ってみると楽しいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I ordered a cake set (1,000 yen) (tea and chocolate zucotte). The tableware was gorgeous, the cake was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. The staff were especially friendly, and while I was there for a while, chatting with my friend, we were treated to a sample of freshly made genjimaki and some warm soy tea. I'd definitely like to visit again next time I'm in Tsuwano. (Original) ケーキセット 1000円(紅茶とショコラズコット)を注文しました。食器が豪華でケーキも美味しく雰囲気が良いお店でした。特に店員さんの接客が良く、友人と話しながら少し長居していたところ、出来たての源氏巻のご試食と温かい豆茶をいただきました。津和野に来た際にはもう一度訪れたいです。

(Translated by Google) I stopped in for a break, and the atmosphere inside the shop was calm and relaxing. I ordered a cake set (iced coffee and cheesecake), and the coffee was delicious with a bitter yet rich flavor. There's also a souvenir shop in the back, so it's perfect for tourists. (Original) 休憩がてら寄らせていただいたのですが、店内の雰囲気は落ち着いておりゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。 ケーキセット(アイスコーヒーとチーズケーキ)を注文したのですが、コーヒーは苦味とコクがあり美味しかったです。 また、奥にはお土産屋もあるので観光される方にはピッタリだと思います。

(Translated by Google) I had the specialty Uzume rice and soba set. It was my first time trying it, but it was like a rice bowl with ingredients and a hint of wasabi, and both the rice and the soba were delicious. The shrimp tempura was freshly fried, which I was impressed with. It's a dish I want to try again when I visit Tsuwano. (Original) 名物のうずめ飯とそばのセットを食べました。初めて食べる味でしたが、わさびが効いた具入りのお茶漬けのような感じで、そばと両方、美味しかったです。海老の天ぷらが揚げたてで、感動しました。また、津和野に行った際には、食べたい料理でした。

Such a nice local restaurant that really stands out. Food was surprisingly good. Even though I am not a big fan of vegetarian, I did fall in love with those local veggies and tastes. Parking right next to the restaurant or the restaurant is right next to the train station. Highly recommended if you pass by this little lovely town.

Unbelievable food. Highest recommendation. Excellent prices, very kind staff. Food was made quickly. This is a must for anyone stopping by or visiting Tsuwano. Located very near the train station - easy access.

This is our favourite udon shop in Tsuwano. The lady boss is so kind and friendly. Service was also prompt. The udon soup is nice and tasty. The shop was a traditional building and is decorated in ancient style, preserving its history and heritage. Very insightful indeed while having a rest and meal.

The udon with local wild vegetables was fantastic. Such good flavor.

Good food. Must try the Udon and rice bowl.

Great food and such kind staff. No wait during our lunchtime stop and very authentic Japanese food with absolutely delicious grilled chicken thigh on a stick- a must try!

Very good food with a homemade feel, very nice staff, a great typical Japanese decor.

I have been coming here for the last 4 annual trips and have never regretted coming. The food is so solid. The best Italian u can find outside Italy 🇮🇹, or maybe perhaps even better than a lot of true born Italian restaurants themselves. The owner chef will do omakase for us and cook us the numbers of meals without any repeat. This is a true showcase of his skills and knowledge. The lady boss is so friendly and nice, making the dining experience so wonderful. We never fail to be impressed and amazed and will keep coming back until something prevented us from supporting them. Highly recommend to everyone for sure.

The best Italian restaurant in Tsuwano! The food is just incredible! The staff are very friendly too:) I always order their daily lunch that come with the assorted appetizer, pizza or pasta and drink after dish. There are 3-4 choices each for past and pizza. This family run restaurant has been running over 20 years now and they also make breads and cakes that are very popular among the local:) I would love anyone to go there for nice lunch or dinner. Advanced reservations will be better for dinner.

Best Italian food in Tsuwano! A must try when visiting the place. Chef painstakingly crafted every dish and the lady boss is so friendly! Highly recommended

It is always so good to dine at Pino Rosso. Only setback is the distance from main city like Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka. Food is excellent.

Great restaurant, excellent food (get their octopus and their caprese and their nori spaghetti!) Reasonably priced as well!

Food is delicious: Had a tomatosalad, pizza with fresh tomatoes and one with gorgonzola, spinach with garlic and pepper. It was fresh and tasty, we really liked it. The portion size is quite small though, so dont go too hungry.

Very good Italian restaurant, I was satisfied with the portions and the wine, although the space was a bit small. My table was right next to the window, so I had a good view onto the small but nice garden-pond.

(Translated by Google) Cross the Tsuwano Bridge, go under the Ichinotorii gate of Taikodani Inari Shrine, and then go under the iron bridge for about 100 meters. As you walk, you will find the restaurant ``Mimatsu Shokudo,'' which is famous for ``black inari sushi.'' Business hours are from 10:00 to 17:00, closed on Wednesdays (open on the 1st of every month and holidays). Although the inside of the store is not very large, there are many customers as it is a popular store for worshipers of Inari Shrine. On this day, I stopped by to buy some Inari sushi to take home, but the restaurant was full and there was a line of customers waiting. This line is a mix of both eat-in customers and Inari Sushi take-out customers, so if you are ordering take-out, please let the staff know that you are ordering take-out. Take-out customers are treated separately, so you can smoothly pay the bill.　If you wait with other eat-in customers, you will waste a lot of time. Now, the taste of the famous "Black Inari Sushi" is... Fried tofu and vinegared rice soaked in the flavor of concentrated soy sauce... Vinegared rice... The taste of fried tofu is so strong that I don't like vinegared rice. I don't know what it tastes like. Awesome secret sauce! Be sure to check it out when visiting Inari Shrine! (Original) 津和野大橋を渡り太鼓谷稲荷神社の一ノ鳥居を潜り、更に鉄橋を潜り抜け約100ｍほど 歩くと「黒い いなり寿司」が名物の食堂「美松食堂」さんが在ります。 営業時間は１０時から１７時まで定休日は水曜（毎月1日・祝日は営業）です。 店内はそんなに広くはありませんが稲成神社参拝客の人気店だけあってお客さんは多いです。 この日もお持ち帰りのいなり寿司を買いに立ち寄りましたが、店内は満席状態で待ちのお客さんも行列ができていました。 この行列はイートインのお客さんも、いなり寿司テイクアウトのお客さんも混合ですので、テイクアウトであれば店員さんにテイクアウトである事を伝えましょう。　テイクアウトのお客さんは別扱いですのでスムースに会計が済みます。　イートインのお客さんと一緒に待っていますと時間ロスが大きいですよね。 さて、名物「黒い いなり寿司」のお味は・・・凝縮した醤油の旨味がしっかりとしみ込んだ油揚げと酢飯が・・・酢飯が・・・油揚げの味が強すぎて酢飯がわの味がわかりません。　おそるべし秘伝のたれ！ 稲成神社参拝の際には是非！

(Translated by Google) When I visited Taikodani Inari Shrine as a child, I would eat soba noodles and inari sushi here for lunch. It has an unchanging taste and nostalgic feel. I often buy inari sushi here as souvenirs. In the summer and fall, you can enjoy wariko soba, and in the winter, you can enjoy warm soba. The taste of soba is nothing special, and I'm sorry to say this, but it's average. Inari sushi is sweet and delicious. (Original) 子どもの頃から太鼓谷稲成神社を参拝すると、お昼はここでお蕎麦といなり寿司を食べてました。変わらない味と懐かしさがあります。 お土産にここのいなり寿司をよく買って帰ります。夏や秋は割子蕎麦を冬は温かい蕎麦をいただきます。 蕎麦の味は特別なことはなく、言い方は悪いですが普通です。いなり寿司は甘めで美味しいです。

(Translated by Google) This is a restaurant near Taikodani Inari Shrine. I went there because I heard it was a local restaurant. I ordered the famous black tofu sushi and kitsune udon. It seemed to be a restaurant run by an old couple, and they seemed accustomed to dealing with foreigners. The black tofu sushi seemed to have a bit of a ginger flavor and I thought the seasoning was a bit strong. There seemed to be some likes and dislikes. The kitsune udon soup was not too salty, so it was good to eat with tofu sushi, and the noodles smelled a bit like wheat. I think the location was good as it was not far from Tsuwano Traditional Preservation Street. (Original) 다이코다니 이나리 신사 근방에 있는 식당입니다. 지역 맛집이라고 해서 방문했습니다. 명물이라는 검은 유부초밥이랑 기츠네 우동을 주문했습니다. 노부부가 운영하는 식당인 것 같았고, 외국인을 상대하는게 익숙해 보였습니다. 검은 유부초밥은 생강향이 좀 많이 느껴지는 것 같았고 간이 좀 쎄다 싶었습니다. 호불호가 좀 있을 것 같았습니다. 기츠네 우동 국물은 간이 쎄지 않아 유부초밥과 먹기 괜찮았고, 면은 먹다보니 밀가루 향이 좀 많이 느껴졌습니다. 츠와노 전통보전거리에서도 멀지않아 위치상으로는 좋았던 것 같습니다.

(Translated by Google) A famous black sushi restaurant in Tsuwano. I ate udon and black sushi. The black sushi had a nostalgic seasoning and was very delicious. The store has a Showa era atmosphere and is a relaxing interior. There was a ginkgo tree in front of the store, and many ginkgo fruits were falling. (Original) 津和野で有名な黒いなり寿司のお店。うどんと、黒いなり寿司を食べました。黒いなり寿司は、懐かしい味付けで、とても美味しかったです。お店は、昭和の雰囲気があり、落ち着ける店内です。店の前には、銀杏の木があり、たくさんの銀杏の実が落ちていました。

(Translated by Google) (2025.4.10) I visited you on my way back to the station from Tsuwano Castle. I ordered the udon set meal, which featured black inari, but I don't usually eat inari so I couldn't tell the difference. However, after eating the whole set meal, I think it is a delicious and mild meal. After eating, replenish your energy and continue on your journey. Payment is by cash only. (Original) (2025.4.10) 從津和野城下來，在回車站的路上便來訪。我點了烏龍麵定食，黑色稻荷是其特色，但我平常沒在吃稻荷，所以無法鑑別。不過整套定食吃下來的感想，我覺得是味道好吃，口味溫和的一餐。吃飽後補充好體力，繼續再上路。只能使用現金結帳。

(Translated by Google) I got some takeout of the original Tsuwano specialty "Black Nari Sushi". It's really delicious. And it's even better when you eat it inside a steam locomotive. ^ ^ (Original) 元祖津和野名物「黒いなり寿し」 テイクアウト致しました。 ほんと美味しいです。 さらに蒸気機関車の中で食べると、 もっと最高ですよ。^ ^

(Translated by Google) It was just the right amount for a soba restaurant in a tourist area. The style is to add inari to udon or soba. It's cheap, but the portions are small, so it was just right for a light meal. The flavor of the broth is delicious! (Original) 観光地の蕎麦屋らしくちょうどいい具合でした。 うどんかそばに、いなりをプラスするスタイル 安いけど、量も少ないので軽めの食事にちょうどいい具合でした。 出汁の味は美味しい！

We were so happy to ride a chair lift 🛗 💺 the view from the castle top 🏯 was amazing.

After the amazing shrine I thought the old castle ruins would be a bit boring but I was wrong. Amazing views and well preserved walls. We walked up - not difficult but there is a chair lift as well.

If you've seen castle ruins, you'll have a rough idea of what to expect, but the setting and scale really set this one apart. Large compound and nowhere on the premises has a bad view. I recommend paying for the chairlift unless you really want the exercise and have lots of time to spend.

Hike up!

The most wonderful view

Stunning View

(Translated by Google) 🏣Tsuwano Town, Kanoashi District, Shimane Prefecture 🅿️🚗...Yes, there was. 🚃...About a 40-minute walk from Tsuwano Station. ※ We used the chairlift. (A group of children was climbing the mountain path.) ※ A mountain castle built on the summit of Tsuwano Reikiyama (367m). Construction Year: 1295 Remains: Two turrets, stone walls, dry moat. Main Lords: Yoshimi, Sakazaki, Kameishi ※ Designated as a National Historic Site along the ridge to the south (October 14, 1942) along with Nakako Castle (Nakako Castle), located to the south. April 6, 2006...Selected as one of Japan's 100 Great Castles. ※ A typical medieval mountain castle with numerous moats on the ridge and spurs of Reikiyama. At the time of its construction, there were no stone walls, and it consisted of earthworks and dry moats. The Yoshimi clan continued to defend and expand the castle, and before the Battle of Sanbonmatsu Castle, the moat and other features were significantly strengthened. The main castle (main enclosure) was leveled during the Sakazaki clan's reign, and it was transformed into a modern castle with stone walls and a castle tower. Tsuwano Castle's modern stone walls are well preserved. Main castle, Honmaru and Ninomaru, Sannomaru, Dejo-naka-jo Castle, moat, and turrets at the foot of the mountain. Remains of the castle tower, Taikomaru, stone walls of Ninomaru, remains of the south gate, stone walls of the south gate turret, stone walls of the west gate turret, remains of the west side of Sannomaru, remains of the east gate, remains of the drainage channel and Ebi turret, remains of the east gate's three-tiered turret, remains of the moat, and more. We spent about three hours at the summit...we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had a relaxing time. Part of the trail has collapsed, so we had to climb up a metal staircase. I hope it will be restored soon.

Went there for the Archery Festival a few days ago. Competitors shoot targets while horse riding. They wear traditional dress. The event is held every second weekend of April, so sakura blooms serve as a backdrop. It´s worth seeing.

(Translated by Google) There is a yabusame horse field across the approach. Unfortunately, the main shrine was under renovation, but it is a quaint shrine with a calm atmosphere. It is within walking distance from the roadside station. (Original) 参道を横切るように、流鏑馬の馬場があります。本殿改修中だったのが残念でしたが、落ち着いた雰囲気の風情ある神社です。道の駅からも歩ける距離です。

(Translated by Google) I've been interested in Yabusame at this shrine for several years. This year! I decided to go there. Yabusame seen from the floor seats is very impressive. The horse was moving so fast that I couldn't tell when the bow was shot. Then I realized how difficult it is to shoot a bow while running a fast horse. There were three targets, and I thought it would be amazing if I could hit even one. There was only one person who got all three marks. I thought the procession to enter the Baba before the Yabusame started was wonderful with all the glittering costumes. I was lucky enough to hear Governor Maruyama speak before the Yabusame began, and to see the shrine building before it was demolished for renovations, making it a memorable trip. (Original) 数年前からここの神社の流鏑馬が気になっていました。今年こそ！と思い決意して行きました。床几席から見る流鏑馬は迫力がありますね。馬の動きが速すぎて、いつ弓を撃ったか分からなかったです。そして、いかに速い馬を走らせながら弓を撃つことが難しいかがわかりました。三つの的がありましたが一つでも的中させたら凄いと思いました。皆中（三つとも的に当てる事）は一人しかいませんでした。流鏑馬が始まる前の馬場入りの行列は衣装装束がきらびやかで素晴らしいと思いました。流鏑馬がはじまる前、丸山知事のお話が聞けたり、改修で取り壊す前の社殿を見れたりとラッキーな事が重なり、思い出残る旅行となりました。

(Translated by Google) 🏣623 Sagihara-i, Tsuwano-cho, Kanoashi-gun, Shimane Prefecture 🅿️🚗...I didn't know. 🚌...Just off the Sagihara Hachimangu bus stop. ※ Religious Corporation Hachimangu ※ According to the shrine's history, the shrine was founded during the Tenryaku era (947-956) of the Heian period, when a local samurai named Yamane Rokuzaemon-no-jo enshrined the Usa Hachimangu Shrine in Buzen. Later, in 1282, Yoshimi clan founder Yoriyuki enshrined the shrine from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura upon entering Kibe Village, Noto Province (present-day Kibe, Tsuwano-cho). The third head priest, Naoyori, built the shrine at its current location in 1387. * The grounds include a 250m long Yabusame riding ground, which retains its original form from the Muromachi period when the shrine buildings were rebuilt (Shimane Prefecture Designated Historic Site). It is a Shinto ritual held to pray for peace and prosperity throughout the world and bountiful harvests. Although details are unknown due to the lack of documents dating back to the Edo period, it is said that the riding ground was built in 1568 by castle lord Yoshimi Masayori when he rebuilt Hachiman Shrine. Shrine Building (National Important Cultural Property) Main Hall, Worship Hall, Sakuramon Gate * The shrine buildings were under reconstruction, but the majestic riding ground was still visible. I would like to visit someday when a Shinto ritual is held here. (Original) 🏣島根県鹿足郡津和野町鷺原イ623 🅿️🚗…分かりませんでした。 🚌…鷺原八幡宮下車すぐ。 ※ 宗教法人 八幡宮 ※ 社伝によると、平安時代の天歴年間（947年～956年）に山根六左衛門尉と言う郷士が豊前.宇佐八幡宮を勧請したのに始まる、その後.弘安5年（1282年）吉見氏の家祖.頼行が能登国木部村（現津和野町木部）へ入国に際し、鎌倉鶴岡八幡宮から勧請し、三代直頼が1387年に現位置に社殿を建立した。 ※ 境内は流鏑馬馬場が社殿再建時の室町時代の原型を留める馬場（250m）である（島根県指定史跡） 天下泰平.五穀豊穣.を祈願する神事。 江戸時代までの文献が無く詳細は不明だが、1568年、城主吉見正頼が八幡宮再建のおりに造った馬場だと伝えられている。 ※ 社殿（国の重要文化財） 本殿.拝殿.桜門 ※ 社殿は改築中でしたが、厳かな馬場は見られました。 何時の日か神事の行われる時に伺いたいものです。

(Translated by Google) When I visited, the main shrine was under renovation. The pain seems reasonable when viewed from the side. However, the other shrines, whether it's the Setsusha or not, are also quite damaged, so I would like to visit again in the near future once the entire area has been repaired. Of course, in conjunction with the Yabusame ritual (Original) 訪れたときは本殿改修中でした。横から見るとなるほどと思える痛み具合。ただ摂社なのか他の社もかなり傷んでますので、近い将来全体の修繕が終わって再訪したいと思いました。当然流鏑馬神事に合わせて

(Translated by Google) The goshuin stamps of this Hachiman Shrine can only be obtained on the day of the Yabusame ritual, which is held on the first Sunday of April every year. The shrine office is closed on other days, so why not visit Washihara Hachiman Shrine when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in search of a rare goshuin stamp? (Original) ここの八幡宮の御朱印は毎年4月の第一日曜日に開催される流鏑馬神事の日のみに手に入れる事ができます。 それ以外の日にちは社務所は閉鎖されていますので激レアな御朱印を求めて桜満開の鷲原八幡宮を訪れてみよう

(Translated by Google) It is located a little away from Honmachi Street towards the roadside station, near the Mori Ogai Memorial Museum. I visited the museum because it was a museum, but it was mostly closed and pitch black. The photo has been corrected and still looks bright, but it's really pitch black. When I entered the entrance, the sensor sounded a ringtone and an old man came out from the back. When I asked him if he could come in, he said, "Yes," and retreated back behind the door. Inside, there are empty boxes scattered around, spider webs, and it doesn't seem to have been cleaned or organized, so although it has a sense of history, it is not a facility that would welcome guests. (Original) 本町通りから道の駅方面へ少し離れたところ、森鴎外記念館の近くです。資料館ということで訪問してみましたが、ほぼ休業状態で真っ暗。写真だと補正されてまだ明るく映っていますが、本当に真っ暗。 入口に入るとセンサーで呼び出し音が鳴って、奥からおじいさんが出てきました。「入っていいですか」と聞くと、「はい」とひと言で、また扉の奥に引っ込んでしまいました。 中は、空箱が散乱していたり、蜘蛛の巣がはっていたり、掃除も整理もされていないようで、歴史は感じるものの、およそ客人を迎え入れる施設ではありません。

(Translated by Google) The museum seems a little abandoned. the place is almost deserted. a cat welcomes us and circles around us. the owners seem surprised to see us enter. the shelves of the store are almost empty. despite everything, we are very well received. we are offered a tasting and we discover unusual alcohols. we take a few good bottles to enjoy at home. (Original) Le musée semble un peu laissé à l'abandon. l'endroit est quasiment désert. un chat nous accueille et nous tourne autour. les propriétaires semblent étonnés de nous voir entrer. les étagères de la boutique sont presque vides. malgré tout, nous sommes très bien accueillis. on nous propose une dégustation et nous découvrons de alcools inhabituels. nous emportons quelques bonnes bouteilles pour les déguster chez nous.

(Translated by Google) I always use it in my camper. Although it is self-service, cash cards and discount cards are installed, so it will be cheaper if you use it. If you don't understand something, one of our employees will come over and help you, which is very kind. (Original) キャンピングカーでいつも利用させて貰ってます。 セルフですが、現金カードと値引きカードを設置されていますので利用したら尚、安くなります。 解らない時は、従業員さんが飛んで来て下さいます、親切です。

(Translated by Google) You can see the inside of the building for free. However, because it has not been cleaned, it is covered with dust and looks like a ruin. Was it good before the coronavirus pandemic? (Original) 無料で館内を見せていただけます。ですが掃除をされていないということでホコリを被っていて廃墟みたいな感じになっています。コロナ禍前は良かったのかな？

(Translated by Google) No one came when I called, so I went home without buying alcohol. (Original) 呼んでも誰も出て来られず、酒買わずに帰りました。

(Translated by Google) Since I started drinking one and a half cups of this nigori sake every day, my blood pressure has decreased. What used to be a high of 140 and a low of 90 has now become a high of 120 and a low of 80. (Original) こちらのにごり酒を毎日一合半、飲みはじめてから血圧が下がりました。 最高140、最低90だったものが最高120、最低80になりました。

(Translated by Google) You can purchase sake made at this brewery. Of the chestnut, taro, and pumpkin shochu, I bought the chestnut one. When I entered the store, I saw a section for birds, so I wondered why, and it turns out that swallows come to visit the beams inside the store every year. When I visited, I saw five fully grown chicks waiting for food. The structure of the store was old and tasteful. (Original) こちらの酒造で作っている酒を購入できます。栗、里芋、南瓜の焼酎のうち栗を購入。店の中に入ると鳥の分があるのでなんで?と思ったら、毎年店内の梁にツバメが来るそう。ちょうど伺った時も結構育ったひなが五匹、餌を待っている光景が見られました。店作りも古く趣もありました。

This is traditional house of Japan and preserved for tourism.

(Translated by Google) This is the former home of Shu Nishi, the son of a Tsuwano domain doctor and an Enlightenment thinker. It is said that this is the house where he lived until he was 21 years old. It is located across the Tsuwano River, just across from Mori Ogai's former residence. The main building and storehouse remain. It is said that Zhou, who was an avid student, studied hard at this storehouse. I was deeply moved when I thought about how much the Enlightenment thinker, who coined words like "philosophy" and "sense," indulged in his thoughts in this storehouse. To get here, we crossed the Tokiwa Bridge over the Tsuwano River, and while it was raining, we strolled along a country road with a stream, which gave us a very peaceful feeling. It's not a flashy tourist spot, but I think it's a place where you can learn about the origins of great people. (Original) 津和野藩医の子で啓蒙思想家であった西周の旧宅。21歳まで暮らした家とされています。津和野川をはさみ、森鴎外旧居のちょうど向かいあたりに位置します。母屋と土蔵が残っています。勉強熱心だった周は、この蔵で必死に勉強したと言われています。「哲学」「感覚」などの言葉を生み出した啓蒙思想家が、この蔵でどれだけ思考に耽っていたかと考えると感慨深いものがありました。そして、ここへは津和野川にかかる常盤橋を渡って来ましたが、雨が降っている中、小川のある田舎道を散策し、とてものどかな気持ちになりました。派手な観光地ではありませんが、偉人の原点を知れる場所だと思います。

(Translated by Google) Nishi Amane's former residence is located across the Tsuwano River from Mori Ogai's former residence. As someone who lived more than 30 years before Ogai, this building gives you a sense of the times even more than Ogai's former residence. There still remains a storehouse where Nishi Shu was said to have holed up to study, and I can't help but be surprised that a thinker who is said to be the founder of Japanese philosophy was born in such a place. (Original) 津和野川をはさんで、森鷗外旧宅の対岸にある西周の旧居。鷗外よりさらに30年以上前の時代の人だけに、鷗外旧宅以上に時代を感じさせる建物です。 西周がこもって勉強したという蔵も残っていますが、こんな所から日本の哲学の祖と言われる思想家が生れたことに驚きを禁じ得ません。

(Translated by Google) As I was driving along Prefectural Route 13, I saw this building standing quietly a little away from the road. Although it cannot be seen directly, there is a memorial museum for Mori Ogai across the Tsuwano River. This is the mansion where Nishi Amane lived from the age of 4 to the age of 25. Nishi Zhou was a thinker who studied abroad in the Netherlands and is the person who coined the word ``philosophy''. (Original) 県道13号線を走っていたら、道路から少し離れたところにひっそりと建っていました。 直接は見えませんが、津和野川を挟んで森鴎外の記念館があります。 西周が4歳から25歳まで過ごした屋敷だそうです。 西周はオランダに留学した思想家で、「哲学」という言葉を創った人物です。

(Translated by Google) He is the person who created the Japanese word "philosophy". Passing through the former residence next to the Mori Ogai Memorial Museum and heading toward the river, you will see an iron bridge called Tokiwabashi.Go straight from the bridge to the end of the road, then turn left for the shortest distance. He was very studious and spent most of his time studying in the storehouse. (Original) 哲学という日本語を作った人です。 森鴎外記念館の横の旧邸を通り抜け、川の方向に行くと常盤橋という鉄の橋があり、橋から真っ直ぐに突き当たりの道まで出て、左に曲がると最短距離です。 勉強熱心で蔵の中で勉強に明け暮れたそうです。

(Translated by Google) I'm worried that it was damaged. The roof looked like it was going to collapse. Is it something that cannot be saved or maintained somehow? (Original) 傷んでいたのが心配です。屋根は崩れ落ちそうでした。なんとか保存 維持出来ないものでしょうか

(Translated by Google) It's a small but beautiful house with a thatched roof. It's a quiet place with few tourists. (Original) 小さいですが茅葺屋根の立派なお家です あまり観光客もなく静かな場所です

(Translated by Google) I recommend relaxing and looking out from the second floor. I think it's a hidden gem in Tsuwano. (Original) ２階からのんびり外を眺めるのがおすすめ 津和野の穴場だと思います

(Translated by Google) I think it's amazing that you can visit such a wonderful museum with free admission. The building itself is quaint, and the exhibition of paintings by local painters Akira Nakao and Maya Yoshiura is very nice. Also on display is Goya's bullfighting print, which I think is so valuable that it could be displayed as part of a special exhibition at the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo. There is also a beautiful garden, so we recommend visiting when you visit Tsuwano. (Original) 入場料無料でこれだけ素晴らしい美術館を見学できるのはスゴイことだと思います。 建物自体も趣がありますが、郷土の画家である中尾彰氏、吉浦摩耶氏のお二人の絵画の展示がとても良いです。 また、ゴヤの闘牛の版画も展示されていますが、これは東京の国立西洋美術館などの企画展として展示されてもおかしくないような貴重なものだと思います。 綺麗な庭園もあるので津和野へ訪れた際にはぜひ訪れることをおすすめします。

(Translated by Google) The building itself is quite charming, and I think it's worth it just to look out at the garden from the veranda! Not only that, but there are quite a lot of works, and all of them are wonderful. I think it's incredible that facilities like this are free. (Original) 建物自体の趣も半端なく、縁側から庭園を眺めているだけでも価値があると思います！ それだけでなく作品数もかなりの量ありどの作品も素晴らしいです。 これだけの施設が無料なのはとんでもないと思います

(Translated by Google) A 12-minute walk from JR Tsuwano Station is the Shajuku Museum, which is housed in a former village headman's residence. The space is filled with the warmth of Japanese wood and shadows, and the residence of the head lord of the Tsuwano clan has been restored to its original state, with soothing paintings by painters Akira Nakao and Maya Yoshiura on display. I was more interested in the houses and gardens than the artworks. My companion was admiring the painting carefully. Although the tour was kindly explained to me, I forgot to take pictures of the interior and the paintings. Although the parking lot is not large, the number of visitors was relatively small, so we were able to relax comfortably. (Original) ＪＲ津和野駅から徒歩１２分のところに、庄屋屋敷を利用した「社塾美術館」があります。日本家屋の木のぬくもりと、陰影に富む空間、 津和野藩の筆頭庄屋屋敷を往時のままに復元し、中尾彰、吉浦摩耶画伯の心和む絵画を展示している。 美術品より、家屋や庭園に目が行った。連れの仲間は、絵画をしっかりと鑑賞していた。親切に説明してもらっていたが、屋内や絵画の写真は撮り忘れた。 駐車場は広くないが、来訪者も程々少なく、ゆったりとくつろげることができた。

(Translated by Google) This is a place you should definitely visit when you come to Tsuwano. Paintings by local artists, copperplate prints by Goya from Spain, and a well-kept garden can be viewed for free. (Original) 津和野に来たら是非とも訪れた方が良い場所。地元美術家の絵画とスペインのゴヤの銅版画と手入れのゆきとどいたお庭が「無料」で鑑賞出来ます。

(Translated by Google) I was lucky that it was only open on Saturdays and Sundays. The garden was also well maintained. (Original) 土日のみの開館に巡りあえてラッキーでした。お庭も手入れが行き届いていました。

(Translated by Google) The day I visited was a closed day, so I passed by quickly. It appears to be open on public holidays, Saturdays, and Fridays. Since I can't rate it, I'll give it a 3. (Original) 訪問日は休館日、すぐに通り過ぎました。祝祭日、土曜、金曜日に開館しているようです。評価は出来ないので〇３としておきます。

I really enjoyed my dinner at Fukuzushi. The owners were lovely people. We had a great conversation in my broken Japanese and they were very accommodating. The nigiri and tuna rolls were delicious and the prices were very reasonable, especially for how tasty everything was. I highly recommend. I'm so glad to be here in Tsuwano 🙌🏼

The food here is so good. They have an English menu with pictures so you know exactly what you are getting. Parking is very limited so we just parked down the street and walked back to it. Sake was really good hot. Will come back when in the area again.

Absolutely loved our lunch here. The chef/owner is very friendly and hospitable. He has an English menu. You can sit at the bar or at a table (recommend the bar), popular with the locals - had some great laughs over a couple of beers and shochou. The sushi was first rate. Super authentic experience.

I forgot the name of the set I ordered but the sushi was so yummy. Very fresh and I think the food was of high quality. The chef showed me great hospitality. Very happy to have visited this restaurant.

My favourite sushi restaurant in the area. The workers are friendly and professional, and the sushi is fresh and delicious. They have very good prices and an English menu. Not to be missed.

Nice sushi restaurant. The sushi is very good despite being up in the mountains. The staff is friendly. I think one staff probably speaks or understands English. Highly recommended.

This is a very good sushi place. I recommend sitting at the counter, so one can see the chefs, or as the Japanese say, "itamae-san" (direct translation: "the person in front of the cutting-bard") They have some English in the menu, the chef also spoke a bit English, and the fish is fresh... some are still swimming. It has a very nice atmosphere, definitely will be a regular. (advised to go before 6, as the counter gets full quite fast)

A nice, peaceful place for meditation. The path is a little slippery but the handrails are convenient. If you are Catholic, a very awe-inspiring sight.

I hike to the chapel on a semi-regular basis. (About 15 minutes up and 10 minutes down). While it's quite steep (I don't recommend wearing heels/anything shoes that slip easily) the chapel itself and the monuments at the clearing are really beautiful and well-kept. There are explanations written in both English and Japanese about the Christian martyrs who died in Tsuwano/Japan during the Edo period. It's definitely worth a stop for those interested in Japan's religious history or for those who just want a pleasant excursion into the mountains. In the spring, the Chapel is surrounded by Sakura. In the fall, the entire trail is lined with Japanese maples, so it's beautiful.

Martyr Yastutaro’s words to Takagi Senemon and Moriyama Jinzaburo “ I am not lonely at all in this Sanjakuro for just after midnight a lady appears, clothed in a blue gown and wearing a blue veil just like yhe image of Santa Maria. She tells me stories so I am not lonely at all. But pls do not tell anyone about this while I am still alive.” The Blessed Virgin appeared to martyr Yasutaro every night from the seventh to the ninteength of January in the second year of Meiji (1869)

I recommend that you visit not only the church, but also the memorial monument in the mountains. It takes about 20 minutes to get there.

A Christian martyr site during the days of Christian persecution.

You can understand more about the hidden Christians from Nagasaki

(Translated by Google) It is a little way from the village, and it is a quiet and peaceful place where you can't imagine that severe torture took place. It's not so bad to the church, but if you try to go through to the Monument of Bliss, the ground becomes quite rough. On the way back from the Monument of Bliss, if you go down just before the bridge, you will come out to the temple, and the path there is firmer and easier to walk on. (Original) 人里から少し入った場所にあり、苛烈な拷問があったとはイメージがつかない静かで穏やかな場所でした。聖堂まではそうでもないのですが至福の碑まで抜けようと思うと大分足下が悪くなります。至福の碑からの戻りは橋の手前を下っていくとお寺の方に出るのでそちらの方が道もしっかりしていて歩きやすいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It is famous for its weeping cherry blossoms. However, there seems to be a grave of Mr. Kamei within this temple...but I couldn't figure out which one it was. Mr. Sakazaki changed his name, but I heard that the graves of the Kamei clan, who joined the club after him, were located on this site, but I really didn't know. Mr. Kamei also served as the lord of the Tsuwano domain and studied at a Yoroikan in Tsuwano. I don't know the history of this temple, but since the Kamei clan's grave is located here, it must be a temple connected to the Kamei clan. (Original) 枝垂れ桜が有名なんですね。然し、この寺院内に、亀井氏のお墓があるらしいのですが…どれがどれかが分かりませんでした。坂崎氏は改易しましたが、その後に入部した亀井氏歴代のお墓が、この敷地にあるそうですが、本当に分かりませんでした。亀井氏は津和野藩主も務めて、津和野の養老館でも学んでいました。この寺院に関する歴史は知りませんが、亀井氏のお墓がある位なので、亀井氏にゆかりがある寺院なのでしょう。

(Translated by Google) On April 3, 2025, the weeping cherry tree was in full bloom. It seems to reach its peak around the same time as the Somei-Yoshino cherry trees. Although there was only one tree, there were no other people around to enjoy the beautiful blossoms, so we were able to enjoy them at our own pace. On the mountain behind the main hall lies the graveyard of the Kamei family, lords of Tsuwano Domain. Along the mountain path, you'll also find the grave of Nishi Amane (a great figure in modern Japanese culture)'s ancestors. (Original) 令和７年（2025年）４月３日、しだれ桜が満開でした。ソメイヨシノとほぼ同時に見ごろを迎えるようです。 一本だけですが、花見の人もなくゆっくり美しい桜を堪能できました。 本堂の裏山に、津和野藩主 亀井家歴代の墓所があります。途中の山道には、西周（にし あまね：日本近代文化の偉人）の先祖のお墓もあります。

(Translated by Google) Weeping cherry blossoms are in full bloom! It's so beautiful. (Original) 枝垂れ桜が満開です！とても美しいです。

(Translated by Google) This is a beautiful place with weeping cherry blossoms! (Original) 枝垂れ桜の綺麗な所です!

(Translated by Google) Billionaire Pure Land surrounded by weeping cherry blossoms (Original) しだれ桜にかこまれた億万浄土

A nice and quiet temple in the mountains. It also has a nicely decorated and curated garden where it is a good place to meditate. However, there is a token entrance fee. In addition, there is also another wing that houses a little museum that showcase the history.

(Translated by Google) Behind Tsuwano Station. It's on the opposite side of the station building, so you'll have to walk all the way around. It seems that the name Eimeiji is read as ``Yomeiji''. I visited by bicycle and stopped just before entering the slope of the approach, but I couldn't find a parking lot. When you reach the top of the gentle slope, you will come to a magnificent gate. Since it was just before 9am, there was no one there to pay the entrance fee, so I refrained from entering the temple grounds. If you look at the main hall from before the second gate, you will see the huge thatched roof of the main hall. This is rare. This season goes well with the autumn leaves. (Original) 津和野駅の裏手。駅舎とは反対側ですので、ぐるっと周っていくことになります。永明寺と書いて「ようめいじ」と読むようです。 私は自転車で訪問して、参道の坂道に入る手前にとめましたが、駐車場は見当たりませんでした。ゆるい坂を上りきると、立派な門があります。朝9時前でしたので、拝観料を納めようにも誰もおらず、境内に入るのは遠慮しておきました。 2つ目の門の手前から本堂を眺めると、本堂の巨大な茅葺屋根が見えます。これは珍しいですね。この季節は、紅葉との相性がいいです。

(Translated by Google) It is an imposing temple worthy of being the family temple of a feudal lord, and its architectural style and garden are top-notch. In particular, I read that the main hall has a thatched roof and a Karahafu-style facing worship, and was built in 1779. The other buildings and gardens also seem to have historical value, and the paintings on the sliding doors in the auditorium are very interesting. It is not clear whether this was Ogai's original wish, but there is also a grave in the precincts where his bones were separated, and it is nicely covered with moss. It will be difficult to maintain it, but I hope Shimane Prefecture will do its best. (Original) 藩主の菩提寺に相応しい堂々たる寺、その建築様式や庭園も一流。特に本堂は茅葺で唐破風型の向拝を持ち、安永8年（1779年）に建築されたと読みました。他の建物や庭園にも歴史的価値があるそうで、講堂の襖絵なども大変に面白い。鷗外の本来の遺志だったかどうかははっきりしませんが、分骨されたという墓も境内にあり、うまい具合に苔むしています。維持するのは大変でしょうが、島根県、頑張ってもらいたいです。

(Translated by Google) It was a really impressive temple. I definitely recommend paying the entrance fee and looking around inside. The garden was also impressive, and a gardener was tending to it when I visited. (Original) すごく立派なお寺でした。 是非、入場料を払って中を見学された方がいいと思います。 庭園も立派で、お伺いした時は庭師の方が手入れされていました。

(Translated by Google) This temple is located in a mountainous area, but not far from Tsuwana Station. The atmosphere is quiet and not crowded, making it ideal for meditation. (Original) เป็นวัดที่ตั้งอยู่ในเขตภูเขา เเต่ไม่ห่างจากสถานี Tsuwana มากนัก บรรยากาศเงียบสงบ ไม่มีคนพลุกพล่าน เหมาะกับการเจริญสมาธิอย่างยิ่ง

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful temple. I was able to see it. (Admission fee: 500 yen) Eimeiji is a temple founded by Yoshimi Yorihiro, the lord of Tsuwano Castle, in 1420. Since then, it has prospered as the family temple of the Yoshimi, Sakazaki, and Kamei clans, the successive lords of the Tsuwano domain. (Original) 立派なお寺です。 拝観させていただきました。（拝観料500円） 永明寺（ようめいじ）は、応永27年（1420年）津和野城主 吉見頼弘が創建したお寺です。 以来、吉見氏、坂崎氏、亀井氏と歴代津和野藩主の菩提寺として栄えてきました。

(Translated by Google) It is a rare temple with a thatched roof. Mori Ogai's grave is located here. There is no full-time chief priest, but parishioners take turns serving customers. (Original) 珍しく茅葺きのお寺です。 森鴎外の墓地があります。 住職は常駐していませんが、檀家さんが交代で接客してくれます。

Awesome sake with friendly hosts. They also have sake icecream which was amazing

(Translated by Google) A sake brewery located on Honmachi Street in the center of Tsuwano. The main brand is "Shatsujin". I sampled several types. Among them, Junmai Ginjo has the umami and sweetness of rice, but also has a refreshing fruity taste, which I felt had a good balance. This is definitely the type of sake that was selected for the Delicious Sake Award in a Wine Glass. Junmai Daiginjo is even more drinkable, which is dangerous in a sense. What was unusual was that there was alcohol in a pouch. This is also an ant in the sense of not letting it come into contact with air. However, it was more expensive than the bottle... I purchased 300ml of Junmai Ginjo. Credit cards are accepted. (Original) 津和野の中心地・本町通りにある酒造会社。主力の銘柄は「初陣」。何種類か試飲させていただきました。 その中では純米吟醸が、米の旨み・甘みもあり、かつフルーティなさわやかさもあって、バランスがいいと感じました。ワイングラスでおいしい日本酒アワードにも選ばれているということ、確かにそういうタイプのお酒です。純米大吟醸は、さらに、さらさらと呑めてしまう感じで、ある意味、危険。 珍しいのは、パウチに入ったお酒があったこと。空気に触れさせないという意味では、こういうのもアリですね。ただ、瓶よりも割高でしたが…。 純米吟醸の300mlを購入しました。クレジットカードが利用可能です。

(Translated by Google) I visited while walking down the street. If I wanted to taste it, I asked how much it would cost and was told that although the tasting was free, the driver was not allowed to taste it. I was able to taste it after checking whether or not I was driving. I was told I could try all 6 types of sake at the table, but I only tried one type and bought a bottle of sake. There seemed to be quite a few different types of alcohol and the taste was refreshing. For those who like alcohol, it would be a good idea to try all types before purchasing. The interior was clean and the workers were friendly. (Original) 거리를 걷다가 방문했습니다. 시음을 해보고 싶다고 금액을 물어보니 시음은 무료이지만 운전자는 시음을 할 수 없다고 운전 여부를 확인하고 시음을 할 수 있었습니다. 테이블에 있는 6종류를 다 시음해 볼 수 있다고 했는데 한 종류만 시음해보고 사케 한 병을 구매했습니다. 술 종류가 꽤 여러 가지인 것 같았고 맛은 깔끔했습니다. 술을 좋아하는 분들은 전 종류를 다 시음해보고 구매하는 것도 좋을 것 같습니다. 내부도 깔끔했고 근무하시는 분도 친절했습니다.

(Translated by Google) Hatsujin Junmai Daiginjo is very sweet and easy to drink. Very delicious. Sometimes, I come from Fukuoka to buy it. When you enter the store, a young man will let you try it, so if you're not driving, be sure to enjoy a chilled Hatsujin. (Original) 初陣純米大吟醸はとても甘口でサラリと呑める とても美味しい 時折、福岡から買いにきています。 店内に入ると若いお兄さんが試飲をさせてくれるので、運転がない方はぜひ冷えた初陣を堪能してください。

(Translated by Google) A long-established sake brewery in Tsuwano, along with Kasen Sake Brewery. "Hatsujin" brewer. An elegant store with a wide frontage. You are welcome to sample it. Tsuwano's sake is refreshing and gentle, brewed with soft water. The name “Hatsujin” is also very nice. There are also wonderful sake bags with carp designs. Enjoy auspicious sake as a souvenir of your trip! (Original) 華泉酒造と並ぶ津和野の老舗酒蔵。「初陣」醸造元。間口の広い風情ある店構え。気前よく試飲させてもらえます。津和野のお酒は、軟水仕込のさっぱりとして優しい感じのお酒。「初陣」という名前も、とてもいいですね。鯉がデザインされた素敵な酒袋なども。幸先のいいおめでたいお酒を旅の記念に！

(Translated by Google) I visited while walking around Tsuwano. I love Japanese sake, so I was happy to be able to sample it. After all, the restaurant's recommended ``Hatsujin'' sake served in a wine glass was delicious. We also bought cute drinking glasses and pound cake. The staff at the store were kind and I was satisfied with my shopping experience. (Original) 津和野散策で伺いました。 日本酒好きなので試飲が出来るのは嬉しかった。 やっぱりお店おすすめの、ワイングラスでいただく日本酒の「初陣」が美味しかった～ 可愛いぐい飲みやパウンドケーキも購入。 お店の方も親切で満足なお買い物が出来ました。

(Translated by Google) The dragon drawn (shaped) with a trowel was quite large and impressive. It was nice to be able to sample it ☺️ The original masu and choko cups are so cute and good 👍 I came by car, but they let me park for a while and said, ``Please take a walk around Tsuwano,'' which was helpful. (Original) 鏝で描かれた(造形された)龍は、結構おっきくて迫力ありました。 試飲が出きるので良かった☺️ オリジナルの枡やお猪口とか、かわいくてGood 👍 車で来たのですが、「津和野の街散策にどうぞ」としばらく駐車させていただき、助かりました✨

(Translated by Google) Free museum. You can learn about the history of Catholicism in Tsuwano Town through documents, photographs, bulletin boards, and panoramic exhibits. Visit before entering the church (Original) 無料の資料館。津和野町におけるカトリックの歴史を文献資料、写真、掲示物、パノラマ展示などで知ることが出来る。教会に入る前に訪れよう

(Translated by Google) 2023.11.3 It's on the right after entering the gate of Tsuwano Catholic Church. I had heard of Otome Pass, but I had no idea what actually happened there. I was able to tour the Otome Pass exhibition room and learn about the Christian martyrs who died at Otome Pass. It was heartbreaking to know that some of them were teenagers and small children. Moreover, I was surprised to learn that this event took place in the first year of the Meiji era, when Christianity was strictly prohibited. It wasn't the Edo period, when the country was isolated from the rest of the world. model? There was one, but when I pressed the button, the light didn't turn on, so I was looking at it while reading the explanation, wondering if this was the model. (Original) 2023.11.3 津和野カトリック教会の門を入って右側にあります。 乙女峠とは聞いたことありましたが実際何があったかは知りませんでした。乙女峠展示室を見学させていただき乙女峠でのキリスト教徒の殉教者をしることができました。その中には10代や小さな子供もいたことに胸が痛みました。しかも、キリスト教が厳禁だった明治元年の出来事と知り驚きました。鎖国中の江戸時代じゃなかったんだと。 模型？がありましたがボタンを押しても電気が点灯しなかったので説明を読みながらこの説明があの模型なんだなと思いながら見ていました。

(Translated by Google) The exhibits at the museum were scary. (Original) 資料館の展示が恐ろしかった。

(Translated by Google) It was a relaxing spot, but it was also a space that made me think about a lot of things. (Original) 癒しスポットだけど、色々考えさせられる空間でした。

(Translated by Google) It is a completely different world from the paintings and lyrics of Mitsumasa Yasuno in front of me. But at the same time, the subjects in all of them are humans and their feelings. It is clear that Fuminari Kuwabara had a great deal of trust in his subjects. There is no doubt that he played a major role at the time. (Original) 目の前の安野光雅の絵や詞とは全く異なった世界です。でも同時にいずれも対象は人間だったりその感覚です。 桑原史成は被写体にたいそうな信頼を得ていたことがわかります。また当時彼の果たした役割は大きいものがあったに違いありません。

(Translated by Google) I expected him to be a versatile photographer, but he turned out to be a news photographer. In fact, he has left behind works that are unusual for people to take, and it feels like he is stepping into the lives of the local people and photographing them. Therefore, there is a sense of being there, and it is easy to convey the situation from the photos. By the way, Mr. Fuminari Kuwabara is a news photographer from Tsuwano Town. His real name is Fumiaki Kuwabara. He graduated from Tokyo University of Agriculture and has won numerous awards. He won the 1965 Kodansha Photography Award and his work was published in Korea, Taiyo, and Weekly Asahi. Received the 2003 Donggang Prize (Korea). The award-winning works are wide-ranging. He has also had solo exhibitions in various places. 1979 Solo exhibition (Vietnam), Ginza Nikon Salon, Tokyo, etc. There are also a wide variety of solo exhibitions. Also, at the entrance of this museum, there was also an article about past photos about Mr. Fuminari Kuwabara. Currently in Vietnam until October 18, 2023. Photos related to this are displayed. Because of the emphasis on Vietnam, you might think that there are a lot of press photos related to Asia, but in the past there have also been press photos taken about the former Soviet Union. (Original) バライティーに富む写真家かと期待しましたが、報道写真家でした。兎に角、人の撮るのに、尋常では無い感じの作品を残していて、現地の人の生活に踏み切って写真を撮っている感じです。だから、そこでの臨場感があり、写真から状況が伝わりやすいです。因みに、桑原史成氏は、津和野町出身の報道写真家です。本名は、桑原史成（くわばらふみあき）その儘です。東京農業大学を卒業されており、数々の賞を取って来た方です。1965年講談社写真賞を受賞して、作品は、韓国、太陽、週間朝日に掲載されました。2003年東江賞（韓国）を受賞。受賞した作品は多岐に渡ります。それと、色々な場所で個展も出された方です。1979年個展（ベトナム）銀座ニコンサロン・東京等。個展も多岐に渡ります。後、ここの美術館の入口を入った所に、桑原史成氏に関する、過去の写真の記事も飾ってありました。今は2023年10月18日まで、ベトナム。に関する写真を展示されています。ベトナムを強調したから、アジア関連の報道写真が多いかと思えば、過去には旧ソ連に関する報道写真も撮られています。

(Translated by Google) The main focus is on press photos, but I think there aren't many on display. I feel that if the photos have a story-like effect, they will appeal more to the heart. Feeling a little wasteful? The staff was very kind (^▽^) (Original) 報道写真がメインですが展示数が少ないかな。写真もストーリー的な演出があった方が、もっと心に訴えかけてくるような気がします。ちょっともったいない感じ？スタッフさんは凄く親切な方でした(^▽^)

(Translated by Google) Old photos of Taiwan were on display. (Original) 昔の台湾の写真が展示されてました。

(Translated by Google) The photos were wonderful, but it was small and I finished looking at them quickly. I wanted to see more works. (Original) 写真は素晴らしいですが、 こじんまりしていてすぐに見終わってしまいました。 もっと沢山の作品が見たかったです。

Superb soba made with 100% natural ingredients. Definitely recommend.

(Translated by Google) There aren't many lunch options in downtown Tsuwano. Maybe there is no demand for it because you can do sightseeing in about half a day. I found this store under such circumstances. This is a shop that sells Juwari Soba and sweets made with chestnuts. Inside the store, various posters and explanations are pasted everywhere. Since the chestnut rice was only available until November, I ordered a set of juwari zaru soba and fried rice balls. The tea is legume tea, which is often found in this region. The store is run by an old lady. A little while after I placed my order, I came back to check on it again, which was a courtesy. Zaru soba comes with two pieces of sashimi konnyaku. This konnyaku also seems to be homemade, and unlike regular konnyaku, it contains air bubbles. It has no smell or harsh taste, and can be eaten as sashimi with ponzu sauce. Juwari soba has a slightly greenish color and tastes sweet even when eaten as is without dipping sauce. It's a pity that they don't do large servings. There are two grilled rice balls (I forgot to take a photo!) that are crispy grilled on one side. One was seasoned with sesame salt, and the other was miso, but I was surprised to find that it was wasabi miso. Come to think of it, wasabi is also a specialty. I also bought a chestnut yokan as a souvenir. This yokan is made only with chestnuts, string kanten, and sugar, without using azuki beans. It's a bit pricey, but it looked interesting so I bought it. Other stores also sold items wrapped in bamboo skin, but I decided to use a simple paper box packaging. I was supposed to be able to use a credit card, but the terminal was malfunctioning, so I paid in cash. (Original) 津和野の街中は、あまりランチの選択肢がありません。もしかしたら、半日ぐらいで観光できるので、需要がないのかもしれませんが。そういう状況で見つけたのがこちらのお店。十割そばと、栗を使ったスイーツのお店です。店内には、いろいろなポスターや説明書きがところ狭しと貼られています。 栗ご飯が11月までということだったので、十割ざるそばと焼きおむすびのセットを注文しました。お茶は、この地域でよく出てくるまめ茶です。店内は、おばあさんが1人で仕切っています。注文してからしばらくたって、もう1度注文を確認しに来たのは、まあご愛嬌ということで。 ざるそばには、刺身こんにゃくが2切れついてきます。このこんにゃくも自家製のようで、普通のこんにゃくと異なり、気泡を含んでいます。臭みやエグみはなく、お刺身として、そのままポン酢をつけて、いただきます。十割そばは、やや緑がかった色味で、つゆをつけず、そのままで食べても甘みを感じます。大盛をやっていないのが残念。焼きおむすび（写真を撮り忘れた！）は、片面だけをカリッと焼いたものが2つ。1つはゴマ塩の味付け、もう1つは味噌かと思ったら、わさび味噌で、ツーンと不意打ちを食らいました。そういえば、わさびも名産ですね。 さらに、お土産として、栗羊羹を一つ購入。これは、小豆を使っていなくて、栗と糸かんてんと砂糖のみで作られた羊羹。ちょっといいお値段ですが、面白そうなので買ってみました。竹皮で包んだものは他のお店でも扱っていましたが、シンプルな紙箱包装のものにしました。 クレジットカードが使えるはずだったのですが、端末が不調ということで、現金で支払いました。

(Translated by Google) I was drawn to the restaurant by the sound of it being a farm restaurant. I wasn't sure where to park so I parked in the coin parking lot in front of the station. It was lunchtime when I visited so I thought it might be busy, but when I went through the noren curtain, there was no one there so I was able to sit down right away. The waitress (an older woman) handed me the menu and gave me a detailed explanation of the dishes. She recommended something called sprouted soba noodles, which you don't see very often at other restaurants, so I ordered that. The bowl arrived a few minutes later, and when I tried it, it was filling and had a decent flavor. Depending on the season, they sometimes serve chestnut rice, so I recommend checking with the restaurant before visiting. (Original) 農家レストランという響きにつられ訪問。 駐車場はよくわからなかったので駅前のコインPに駐車していった。 訪問時ちょうどお昼時だったので、多いかなと暖簾をくぐると、誰もいなかったので直ぐに着席できた。 店員さん（おばちゃん）からメニュー表を渡され、メニューの丁寧な説明を受けた。 その中で、他の店ではあまり見ない発芽蕎麦なるものを勧められたので注文。 数分したら着丼したので、実食したところ食べ応えがあり、風味もそこそこありました。 時期によっては、栗ごはんとがも出てくる時もあるようなので、お店に確認してから訪問することを勧めます。

(Translated by Google) I went to Tsuwano on a business trip and stopped by for a late lunch. It was around 14:00 on a weekday, so I was able to eat without waiting. The 100% zaru soba had a strong aroma and a strong soba taste, and it was very delicious! Handmade konjac is also konnyaku! ? It tasted as good as I expected. The famous chestnut yokan also had a strong chestnut flavor and a natural sweetness. The host and his wife were very kind and hospitable. I would like to come with my family next time. (Original) 出張で津和野に出かけ、遅いランチで立ち寄りました。平日の14:00ぐらいだったので待たずに食べれました。10割のざる蕎麦は香りが高く、しっかりと蕎麦の味がしてとても美味しかったです！手作りの蒟蒻も、これ蒟蒻！？と思うくらい上品なお味でした。名物の栗羊羹も栗の味が濃く、自然な甘さでした。ご主人も奥様もとても親切におもてなしくださいました。今度は家族で来てみたいです。

(Translated by Google) Last Sunday, I visited you on a solo train trip in autumn. I stopped by while taking advantage of the 50-minute transfer time from the SL Yamaguchi to the limited express Super Oki bound for Izumo City. Although the place was full, they asked for our orders in advance and accommodated us. The 100% soba noodles had a simple taste that was easily absorbed into my stomach. The yokan I received after the meal was also delicious. His words telling me to be careful and not to miss the train was heartwarming. I found one store that I would like to visit again if I have the chance. (Original) 先週の日曜日、秋の鉄道一人旅でお邪魔しました。SLやまぐち号から、出雲市へと向かう特急スーパーおきへの乗り換え時間の50分ほどを利用して、立ち寄りました。満席でしたが、あらかじめ注文を聞いてくれて、対応してくれました。 十割蕎麦は、素朴な味わいでするするっとお腹に吸い込まれて行きました。食後に頂いた羊羹も美味しかったです。気をつけて乗り遅れないようにとかけてくれた一言も暖かったです。機会があれば、また行きたい店をひとつ、見つけました。

(Translated by Google) On Monday the 19th, we went to Tsuwano for the first time. We entered the restaurant 30 minutes before opening time when we were approached. We left Osaka as a couple without breakfast. We had decided that we would eat soba here when we arrived in Tsuwano and then go around Tsuwano. Thanks to the owner's kindness, we were able to eat 100% buckwheat soba. I was impressed by the texture and taste of the soba for the first time. My wife had it with salt and I had it with soba soup as the owner's advice. I wanted to eat 100% buckwheat soba with a strong soba aroma again, so I said "I'll come again tomorrow," but unfortunately it was closed on Tuesdays. I've eaten soba here and there, but the soba at this "farm restaurant" was something else. I just got back to Osaka. I haven't organized my photos yet, so I'm just writing this, but I wanted to say thank you as soon as possible, so I'll just write it. Thank you very much. (Original) 19日の月曜日、初めての津和野旅行。開店前30分にも拘わらずお声がけをした所入店させていただきました。朝食をしないで大阪を夫婦で出発。津和野に着いたらここで蕎麦を食べてから津和野巡りをすると勝手に決めていました。 ご主人のご親切で十割蕎麦を頂くことができました。初めての食感と蕎麦の味に感激しました。家内はご主人のアドバイスで塩で私はそばつゆで頂きました。しっかり蕎麦の香りがする10割蕎麦をもう一回食べたくて、「明日も来ます」と希望しましたが火曜日は休みとのことで残念。 今まであちらこちらで蕎麦を食べましたがここ「農家レストラン」の蕎麦は別物でした。 先ほど大阪に帰ってきた所です。 まだ写真も整理していませんので文字だけですが、お礼を早く言いたかったので文字だけで失礼します。 有り難うございました。

(Translated by Google) It's true that Juwari Soba is delicious and it makes sense that it was aired on a TV program. However, because I visited during lunch time and because the restaurant was small, there weren't many people who could enter, so it took about an hour to wait in line and finish eating. Apparently, the amount of soba noodles is small and they don't serve large portions. However, the staff at the store were very kind and pleasant. Maybe it would have been better to take a little longer. (Original) 確かに十割蕎麦は美味しくてテレビ番組で放映されたのも納得。 ただ、訪れたのがお昼時間だったのと、店内が小さいせいなのか、入店出来る人数も少なくて順番待ちと食べ終わる迄で、小一時間かかりました。お蕎麦の量も少なくて大盛りはやっていないそうです。でも、お店の方の対応はとても親切で感じが良かったです。少し時間をづらして行けば良かったのかも知れませんね。

(Translated by Google) Udon restaurant in tourist area I was aiming for wild vegetable udon, but changed to curry udon due to the smell of curry. It was a delicious curry udon with a slightly strong flavor and spicy soup stock. I also tried the hiyashi yamakake, but the udon here is thin and smooth, similar to Mizusawa udon, so I think the cold menu would definitely go well with it. The kamaboko that came with it was delicious, and when I asked the wife about it, she told me that it was made with special Nagato products. It was a good store with a nice atmosphere inside. (Original) 観光地のうどん屋さん 山菜うどん目当てが、カレーの匂いでカレーうどんに変更 スパイシーで出汁も効いてる少し濃いめな美味しいカレーうどんでした。 冷やし山かけも食べたけど、ここのうどんは細めでツルツルの水沢うどん風なので、冷たいメニューが断然合うと思います。 添えてある蒲鉾が美味しくて、おかみさんに聞いてみると、こだわりの長門産 店内の雰囲気も相まって良いお店でした

(Translated by Google) A handmade udon noodle shop open only for lunch. The noodles are flat, medium-thin, and soft. I think there is a big gap when you imagine Sanuki-kei. It was a bit hot that day, so I opted for cold noodles, but surprisingly, I noticed that the best-selling dish was curry udon. It's true that this type of noodles will get used to it. If you like soft udon, please try this. We also noticed people ordering additional rice balls. Please note that payment is cash only. (Original) お昼のみ営業の手打ちのうどん屋さん。麺は平麺中細、やわ。讃岐系をイメージしているとギャップが大きいと思います。この日はやや暑かったので冷や麺にしましたが、途中で気がついた売れ筋は意外にもカレーうどん。たしかにこの麺なら馴染んでアリなのかも。やわ系うどんがお好きな方はぜひ。おむすびを追加注文されている方も目につきました。なおお支払いはキャッシュオンリーに注意。

(Translated by Google) Wild vegetable udon! Wild vegetable udon! I really wanted to eat wild vegetable udon, so I visited at 12:00 on a Sunday. I think there were 5 tables inside and 5 seats at the counter. It was full, but I was lucky to be the first one. The rotation was fast so I didn't have to wait that long. When I looked into it, it seems that curry udon is also popular. I wasn't sure what to do, so I ended up choosing wild vegetable udon. There aren't many udon noodles with so many wild vegetables. And it's reasonably priced! That's not surprising; as I was eating, customers came one after another, many of them from the neighborhood. A store where locals come. It should be delicious and reasonably priced. Of course it was delicious. (Original) 山菜うどん！ 山菜うどん！ 山菜うどんがどーしてもが食べたくて、日曜の12時に伺いました。 店内5テーブルとカウンター5席だったかな？ 満席でしたが運よく1番目。 回転も早いのでそんなに待つことはなかったです。 調べてみると、カレーうどんも人気らしい。 どうしようと悩み私はやはり山菜うどんをチョイスしました。 これだけの山菜が盛ってるうどんはあまりないです。 しかも値段が手頃！ それもそのはず、食べてると次々とお客さんが来るのだけど、近所の人が多い。 地元の人が来る店。 そりゃ手頃なお値段で美味しいはずだ。 もちろん美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) This wasn't udon for me, who only eats Sanuki 😢 Soft and flat noodles. It felt like the somen was soggy. Since this was my first visit to the store, I didn't know anything about it so I ordered the meat udon. I noticed that everyone except us was eating curry udon! I wonder if curry udon is famous? Food tastes vary, so if you like soft noodles, please go. (Original) さぬきばかり食べてる自分にはこれはうどんではなかった😢 やわやわの麺に平い薄い麺。 素麺のふやけた感じがしてしまった。 今回初来店だったので何も分からず肉うどんを注文。 私達以外は皆んなカレーうどんだった事に気付いた！ もしやカレーうどんが有名なのかな？ 食は好みがあるので、柔らかい麺が好きな方は行かれてみて下さい。

(Translated by Google) Tsurube udon restaurant is a place you must visit when you go to Tsuwano. Curry udon and seaweed rice balls🍙 are the standard. I've been coming here for 30 years 😆 The curry udon is tangy and the udon is chewy. Seaweed rice balls are also super delicious❗️ I was told that the udon restaurant would continue for about a year, but I would like to see it continue for much longer. (Original) 津和野に行くと必ず寄るつるべのうどん屋さん カレーうどんにワカメのおむすび🍙が定番です。かれこれ30年通ってます😆 カレーうどんはピリッとうどんはもちもち。ワカメのおむすびもめっちゃ美味しい❗️ 後、1年くらいは続けると言われてましたがもっと長く続いて欲しいうどん屋さんです。

(Translated by Google) It was empty at 11:50, but by 12:00, it was completely full. The rice balls are also made by the women after you order them. The curry udon has a nostalgic taste and is rich in heartiness and meat. For me, it was medium spicy. (Original) 11時50分は、空いていましたが、12時になると、いっぺんに満席になってしまいました。 おむすびも注文してから、女性の方がつくられています。 カレーうどんは懐かしい味で、トロミもお肉もたっぷりです。 私にとっては、中辛位の辛さでした。

(Translated by Google) I had curry udon and wasabi udon. Delicious ❢ There is a sign next to the entrance that says ``If you are in a hurry, please refrain.'' If the timing is bad, you may have to wait a while, but don't give up because the food will be boiled after receiving your order. The waiting time will definitely enhance the taste. (Original) カレーうどんとわさびうどんをいただきました。旨し❢「お急ぎの方ご遠慮下さい」と入口の横に書いてありまして、タイミング悪いとそれなりに待ち時間ができますが、注文を受けてから茹でるので諦めましょう。その待ち時間もきっと美味しさを引き立てますよ。
