The Memorial and Recovery Monument
Cultural landmark
👍👍 東遊園地の公園内にある慰霊碑です。 1995年1月17日午前5時46分に起きた阪神・淡路大震災、何年の月日が過ぎようとも大切な人を喪った哀しみは年齢に関係なく辛いものであり、命は尊い物なのだと思います。 毎年震災の起きた日には多くの市民の方々が追悼式に参加されます。 近くにある噴水の地下には瞑想空間として震災で...

Former Kaiten Training Base
Historical landmark
👍👍 It was the first of four Kaiten training bases for human torpedoes in Japan, and is the largest remaining structure in existence. Before and during the war, the entire area around Majima Port was a naval facility, and as you walk through a dark tunnel, you will see chalk corridors and buildings. On...

磯御殿
Manor house
👍👍 仙巖園奇妙地將其中的御殿分開售票，在入口處可以只購買不包含御殿的門票，或是購買兩者合一的票，若在園區入口處沒買到合一的票，在御殿門口還可以另外單買一張¥600的參觀票，如此分開售票的背後緣由真是讓人小小好奇，有人或許會覺得若再訪仙巖園可以只在園區內走走即可，但我覺得御殿也是一個可以一再訪的地方，對我來說...

Todaiji Urasando (Back Approach Road)
Historical landmark
👍👍 東大寺境内でも落ち着いた空間で、散策におすすめしたい参道です。2月頃からお水取りに供される各地から奉納される竹が並びだし、この道ならではの季節を最も感じることができる日々ではないかと存じます。 もっとも冬は冬、春夏秋と季節の移ろいとともに陽光や色合い、湿度温度、気候が変化し、その時々の感覚を得られる参...

大谷石地下採掘場跡
Historical landmark
👍👍 This is my fifth visit in my life and I enjoy it every time. This is the only recommended sightseeing spot in the Utsunomiya area, which has no major attractions. The uncertain underwater location and the unusually high ceilings all make this place tickle your sense of adventure.

Former Shitsu Aid Center
Historical landmark
👍👍 子どもと伺いました。 シスターが子どもにもわかるように丁寧に優しくドロ神父の功績を教えてくださいました。 私財を投げ打って建てられたこの建物は、鉄製のジョイントが使われています。 海難事故でご主人を亡くした女性たちが自立きるようスキルを身につける職業訓練所、兼キリストの教えを伝える場所であったようで...
