    Gifu Pref. Gifushi Nagara 51-2
    This museum in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture is a six-minute walk from the Ukaiya bus station located a short bus ride from Gifu Station. The museum was opened in 2012 in order to propagate, spread, and protect the tradition of ukai (cormorant fishing) in the Nagara River, which has continued for over 1,300 years. The museum’s first floor features an area where you can learn hands-on about ukai as well as exhibits including examples of traditional ukai attire. On the second floor, visitors can enjoy learning about ukai from exhibits about usho (cormorant fisherman) and their yago (trade names), exhibits on historical figures with deep connections to ukai, a “guidance theater,” and more. The museum also rents out conference rooms and other facilities.

    This is a great insight into the ukai. Miserable weather outside prevented me from better enjoyment of the live birds, in their full breeding plumage. There should be some interaction with the u...

    Gifu Pref. Ogakishi Sunomatachousunomata 1742-1
    The Sunomata Ichiya (“overnight) Castle is said to have been erected in a single night by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1566. On top of its ruins, the Sunomata Ichiya Castle (Historical Resources Museum) was built in 1991. It is a place for learning about Taiko Hideyoshi, particularly his relationship with Sunomata Castle. Approximately 20 minutes by car from Gifu-Hashima Interchange on the Nashin Expressway.

    1566年に木下藤吉郎 が一夜にして砦を建てたと 伝えられている墨俣一夜城。 織田信長はこの城を拠点に 美濃を制覇したという。 見た目にも美しい素晴らしいお城。 橋こら見る城は格別な素晴らしさ！ 城内はさまざま展示があり 歴史を学ぶことができて良いです。 天守からの風景も良いです。

Volunteer guides show visitors around the ruins of Naegi Castle, including the base of the tower along the Kiso River and the gates, while explaining their origin and history.

    続日本100名城スタンプはこちらの入口向かって左横に出ている。スタンプだけが目当てであれば入場する必要はないが、せっかくなので、城跡に登城する前に多少の入場料を払ってでも見ておいても良いと思う。ただ、所謂歴史民俗資料館と大差がないのはたしか。

    土岐市駅から歩いて10分強程度で着きました。時間つぶしがてらに訪ねました。入場料は200円という安さです。展示コーナーは狭く、ゆっくり見学しても30分かかりません。手前の展示室が美濃焼きをはじめとした焼き物の展示、奥の展示室では縄文時代、弥生時代といった、年代ごとの焼き物の移り変わりを学ぶ展示となっておりました。懐かしい歴史の勉強の機会となり、こっちは以外にじっくり見学しました。これという目玉的な...

    "This museum is located in the Matsuo area of Sekigahara Town, Fuwa County. Materials related to Fuwanoseki, established by Emperor Tenmu the year after the Jinshin War of 672 and counted among the ""Sangan,"" the three important checkpoints of the Japanese nation under the ritsuryo codes, are on display. With earthenware and other relics excavated from the nearby Fuwa-no-Seki Ruins and a reconstruction of the checkpoint, you can deepen your understanding of this historic landmark."

    関ケ原というと古来からの街道の要所、有名な関ケ原の戦いから８００年程前にここで壬申の乱の中でも大きな戦が行われ、大海人皇子側が大勝利を収めました。この資料館では不破関の建物、壬申の乱の行程などを展示しています。正直、壬申の乱については市販の歴史資料を読んだ方が詳しいと思いますが、行なわれた場所で展示資料を見るのも良いですね。

    This museum is part of the Japan Taisho Village Theme Park which reproduces the ambiance of a Taisho period town. It's five minutes on foot from Akechi Railway's Akechi Station. They hold planned exhibits several times a year. They also have a display about the Emperor Taisho, a symbol of the Taisho period, and a display on daily life that uses period realia to reproduce a typical household. The first floor has newspapers of the period and retro posters, and the adjacent Cafe Tenkyu feels just like a coffee shop from the era.

    大正村の施設の中では一番東側。建物は新しくて、展示室も明るいです。 往時の明智の生活ぶりを伝える展示は当時の音楽を流したりして、それらしい雰囲気。最後の展示室に、大正時代の象徴、大正天皇に関する展示があって、あまりなじみのない大正天皇の人柄を少し身近に感じられました。

    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Okuhidaonsengouhirayu
    This museum is about a five-minute walk after getting off at the Hirayu Bus Terminal. The building is a remodeled private house with a half-hipped roof, with a sunken fireplace room and hemp clothing to show old rural life of the first floor, and exhibits of farm tools that introduce the history of Hida on the second floor. And another thing that is popular is Hirayu no Yu that adjoins the Hirayu Folk Museum. The rotenburo (open-air bath) has spring water directly from the source and is located in a clump of trees, giving it a great atmosphere. Able to see the changing scenes of the seasons from fresh green to autumn leaves and winter snow, you can enjoy the beauty of nature and Hirayu’s hot springs to your heart’s content.

    Gifu Pref. Nakatsugawashi Magome 4284
    This residence on a cobblestone slope in the post town of Magome-juku is known as the Shimizuya and belonged to the Hara family. Mori-san in Shimazaki Toson's “Arashi was based on Hara Ippei who once lived there. In addition to Toson's handwritten letters and hanging scrolls, they have numerous items on display that tell about life in the once flourishing post town of Magome. The building you see today was constructed after Magome was destroyed by fire in 1895. It's an important example of a large traditional townhouse built in the Meiji period and is a nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

    石畳の坂道が続く馬籠宿の下の方、つまり南側に、清水屋資料館がありました。いかにも江戸時代という建物で、入り口横には説明書きがあって、２階が資料館になっていました。 この清水屋は、代々馬籠宿役人で、島崎家と親交が深かったそうです。ですから、島崎藤村の書簡や写真などが展示されていました。さらに、宿場町ならではの品々も数多く展示されていて、当時の馬籠宿の生活が垣間見れました。

    Gifu Nakatsugawa-shi Honmachi 2-2-21
    This museum is located in the middle of Nakatsugawa-juku, the 45th post town on the Nakasendo Highway from Edo (present-day Tokyo). It exhibits a lot of items such as historical documents about Nakatsugawa, ancient documents, and valuable materials regarding people throughout the end of the Edo period (1603-1868). Nakatsugawa has long played an important role as a point of contact with Kisoji and between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Documents on the bridesmaid processions of Kazunomiya discovered from the old house in Nakatsugawa-juku, and the comings and goings of the Tengu Party have been collected and preserved.

There are also tours available from Nakatsugawa-juku to Ochiai-juku and Magome-juku.

    今どきな感じのビジュアル系資料館ではなく、昔ながらの資料を並べただけの資料館です。ゆえに、歴史好き、文学好きの方でないとなかなかその面白さはわからなかなと思います。
