    Tochigi Pref. Utsunomiyashi Oyamachi 909
    This museum is at the site of a former quarry in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture. Apart from introducing guests to the history of Oya stone mining and its techniques, it displays tools used for hand excavation between Japan’s feudal era and the 1950s in its exhibition hall. At a depth of 30 meters, the quarry spans a vast 20 thousand square meters, producing a mysterious world like an underground temple or the inside of a pyramid. It is also used as a location for shooting films and television dramas, as well as a concert venue.

    We decided to go here because it was very different from the normal touristy attractions. But let me tell you it didn’t disappoint the way it is set up is amazing. Lights set in such a way to enhance...

    Tochigi Nasukarasuyama-shi Taki 414
    "This craft hall is located near Ryumon Waterfall, said to be the home of a dragon. The hall's terrace and observatory offer a sweeping view of the fall. The hall contains dragon-themed exhibits and also introduces local folk tales and legends via animated movies, and visitors can come in contact with stories handed down in the Karasuyama area as well as the legend of the dragon of Ryumon Waterfall. It is said you will find love and experience increased luck if you pray to the dragon figure in the hall's ""dragon cave."" The hall is a five-minute walk from Taki Station. The hall also sells local specialty prodcuts."

    I love this waterfall I also like the Coke Premium that was sold in the shop its about 330 yen. I was enjoying myself with the Dragon and the fall was really peaceful.

    栃木県那須郡那珂川町(とちぎけんなすぐんなかがわまち)は那珂川流域に沿って数多くの文化遺産が残されている。特に那珂川と箒川が合流するなす風土記の丘周辺には、栃木県で最も古い時期に築造された駒形大塚古墳をはじめ前方後方墳が狭い範囲に残されており、この地域が古代那須国の中心地だったと思われている。 2021年10月11日、この日はそば処ふれあいの舎でランチを済ませた。 そこから那珂川町なす風土記の丘...

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
