This museum is located one kilometer north of Hamamatsu Castle.

The museum's grounds encompass the 116-meter-long, 30-meter-wide, 13-meter-deep Saigagake cliff valley. Records state the valley is the site where Tokugawa Ieyasu, who experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of Takeda Shingen in 1572 in the Battle of Mikatagahara, executed a night raid on Takeda's forces in retaliation. According to legend, Ieyasu devised a plan to drive away Takeda's army one way or another, hanging a white cloth from the cliff; confused and in disarray due to Ieyasu's night attack, the Takeda army mistakenly saw the cloth as a bridge and both men and horses tumbled into the valley when they tried to cross it.

昔ながらの旅籠の看板が出ています。岡部宿は江戸から21番目の宿場町だったそうです。天保の大火で焼失したそうで、再建されましたので江戸後期の建造物らしいです。現在は、国登録文化財であり”歴史資料館”にもなっています。台所には、昔のままの御釜やお櫃、お膳などが並べられています。町人の部屋と武士の宿泊する棟は別になっています。やはり、町人の部屋とは雰囲気と質もかなり違いますね。旅館の裏にはお庭...

Shizuoka Areas

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
