Glimpses of Japan Local - in JEnglish

Need some kind of incentive to go pottering According to the TV broadcast, there's a fish and chips shop somewhere in Tsuyazaki. To and from Tsuyazaki will be  a 60+km round trip Better use the 20inch mini-velo Bianchi "Lepre" Lepre means "rabbit" in Italian. Tsuyazaki's Namiori Shrine has a stone statue of a surfing rabbit Drunken Fuyo (cotton rose) is still pure white - in the late afternoon changed into red pink just like drunken. Want to come back while it's still white! Via the bicycle path along the Shioiri River Pass in front of "Budo-no-Ki" 　 From Hatsu , take the Hibikinada Bicycle Road Proceeding to Munakata Michi-no-Eki via Kanezaki  Two sculptures on the bank of the Tsuri River. I don't have enough sensibility to understand a work of art Follow the road with a few cars to Tsuyazaki Sengen (which prospered with hundreds of buildings)  First goal Namiori Shrine Let's go see a surfing rabbit Purified sand is contained in a...

  New Year holidays made me lazy, and to revitalize my body needed some exercise. The stone steps of Miyachidake Shrine and the small hill walk around the Okuno-Miya (Inner Shrines) should suffice. There might not be so many visitors, after the new year days, But faced an unexpected traffic jam, just before the shrine way. Somehow managed to park in a temporary parking lot, a bit far from the shrine. Visitors are scarce, and the stone steps were easy to step up.

Had only one purpose for going on cycling. Along the beach, there extends the cycling road. The wind was strong, and the sea was choppy Couldn't hear the cracking sound from the black round stone group, because of the sound of the waves. After one and half hour's ride, arrived at Tsuyazaki Namiori -shrine  In the Edo period, Tsuyazak i prospered with its salt deals.  Even now there still remain the old days' buildings along the main street. After passing through the streets of Tsuyazaki , there is an old Japanese sweets shop My favorite is the Yokan (sweet bean paste shaped in oblong)! Whoa!   The shop is closed! Just pursued only the "delicious Yokan" while being driven by the strong wind... My stomach was ready for it - not easy to turn away What should I do? Several meters further on, there was the Chikuzen Tsuyazaki   clay doll shop. Looking through the glass window, what a nice clay d oll with an indescribable noble taste These are so cute Across ...
