  • Akizuki Castle Ruins (Prefectural Historic Site)
    Travel / Tourism
    Fukuoka Pref. Asakurashi Akidukinotori
    "Located around 20 minutes' drive from the Amagi Interchange of the Oita Expressway, Akizuki Castle was constructed during the Sengoku (Warring States) period (1467-1615) as a Hirajiro site (a castle built on flat ground, rather than on a hill) to serve as the residence of the Akizuki family. Only part of the original castle remains today; the site of the demolished castle was used to build Suiyo Shrine, dedicated to Kuroda Nagaoki, the first lord of the Akizuki-Kuroda domain. Kuromon (""Black Gate"") that served as the main gateway to the Castle was relocated to a site on the processional pathway leading up to Suiyo Shrine; the area near the gate is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage. The area in front of the Nagaya-mon Gate-the only part of the castle that survives in its original position-is the venue for Akizuki Nochi no Hina event, held on the day of Chrysanthemum Festival (the 9th day of the 9th lunar month), when around 250 Hina dolls are put on display. Sugi no Baba Street, the road that leads up to the Castle site, features a 500 meter-long avenue of cherry trees."

    秋月博物館のすぐ目の前にある美術館。旧武家屋敷のものであったと思われる立派な門に惹かれて入場したが、展示はすべて高取焼の茶碗。茶器に造詣の深い人なら面白いのだろうが、こちらは全くの素人なので、何がすごいのか今いち、よく分からなかったのが残念。ただし、展示室は心地良い空間で、他の見学者がいなかったので、ゆっくり鑑賞できた。

    There is a modern building in front of Kurono. At first glance, I thought it was a souvenir shop or a restaurant, but in fact it was a temple. I didn’t enter, but you can also go inside.

    杉の馬場の通りから坂道を登ったところにあります。15分ぐらいは歩いたかと思います。途中の道は狭いです。人家も少ない地域です。鎌倉時代に建立された寺で、虚空蔵菩薩堂があり、黒田藩主により藩の祈禱所として創建したものだそうです。
