    昔のアニメですが、響けユーフォニアムの聖地巡礼といったところです。アニメ上ではここで全国大会銅賞でしたが、今後卒業までの続編が出るといいんですけどね。訪問日は地元の大学の卒業式で大変な人出、間を縫って撮影しました。

    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Midori-ku Arimatsu 3008
    Located in the Arimatsu district of Midori Ward in Nagoya City, this facility was constructed with the objective of preserving and displaying “Arimatsu Shibori,” a traditional craft that has been passed down in the town of Arimatsu. In addition to displays on the history and technology of “Arimatsu Shibori,” the museum also explains the technology behind shibori in an easily understood way through a mix of exhibitions of actual production and lectures by traditional artisans. The facility also offers a reservation-only class in which participants can actually dye and then tie-dye garments such as handkerchiefs or aprons.

    We enjoyed seeing the incredible crafts and watching how they were made. The ladies creating the fabrics were very kind and welcoming, taking time to explain what they were doing--despite the...

    Aichi Nagoya-shi Atsuta-ku Takakuracho 9-9

    熱田神宮最寄の神宮西から1駅の、西高蔵駅近くにあります。子育ての神様であり、子どもに井戸を覗かせると疳の虫封じになると言われる井戸も境内にあります。 熱田神宮よりコンパクトな敷地ゆえ、小さな子どもでも歩ける大きさなので、七五三にもオススメです。

    Aichi Nagoya-shi Minami-ku Yobitsugi 4-13-38

    どこにもありそうな神社ですが、社務所の受付の女性の応対がとてもフレンドリーで良かったので星1つプラスです。数台ほどがおける無料駐車場へは、狭い鳥居の間を抜けますので要注意です。社務所の裏手にトイレがありますが、やや高台にあるこの神社の広さが分かる場所なので境内だけで終わらずに見ておくのも良いかと。

    弘法大師が熱田神宮に参詣した折に創建したと伝わる歴史のある寺だが、現在の堂宇は昭和に再建されたものなので、ちょっと味気ない。相撲部屋の寄宿舎としても使われていたらしく、その関係の記念碑もあった。

    何の変哲もない教会ですが、幼きときからいろいろなシチュエーションで自分のまわりに登場してきました。たとえば毎日ミサ始まる時に鳴る鐘の音色、深夜のクリスマスのキャンドルサービス、復活祭と幼子の思い出が、今でも鮮明に焼き付いている。この教会で好きなのは、聖堂と鐘楼でです。静かにお祈りをする最高のカトリック教会です。ミサは英語とポルトガル語でも行われています。

    市バスに乗っていたらチラシがぶら下がっていたので、チラシをとった。グレン・ミラー物語の映画をやるというので、早速チケットを購入。当日開場時間に行くと、入り口に並んでおり、当日券はあっという間に売り切れ。予約しておいて良かった。間もなく満席となり、高齢者のお客が多かった。映画はかなり古くカラーが色あせていましたが、内容は非常に良く、楽しませていただきました。

Aichi Areas

around-area-map

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
