Korean Atomic Bomb Victims Cenotaph
Stone carving
👍👍 솔직히 민족의식에 관한 담론 별로 안좋아하는데 여긴 안갈 수가 없었다. 한국인말고는 굳이굳이 오지 않는 외진 구석, 공원의 중앙부와는 매우 비교된다. 원폭 피해자 중 10퍼센트가 한국인이었다는 걸 처음 알았다. 생수를 놓는 추모 방식을 몰랐어서 내일 다시 와서 생수 한병 놓고 가야겠다.

Grave of Hachikō
Stone carving
👍👍 Visited the grave of Hachikō in the morning and it was relatively easy to spot it. The surrounding Aoyama cemetery is quite big so you might need a bit of time to venture deeper and use Google Maps to eventually find the place, but it's located next to the main road of the cemetery (I attached some...

Warabe Jizo Statues
Stone carving
👍👍 2020/6/14 The moss-covered Jizo statue is so cute. I think it is the best photo spot in Sanzen-in.

Maguro monument (Tuna Statue of Honshu North Edge)
Sculpture
👍👍 This is the most northern tip of Honshu island in japan. This reason itself was good enough for us to pay this place a visit. Apparently the tuna structure was erected in 1994 when a 440 kilograms of pacific bluefin tuna was caught along the Tsugaru strait. You can also find an ornament that marks O...

Sarusawa-ike Monument
Stone carving
😐 Unfortunately it was raining, but there were deer. There was a Starbucks right next to Sarusawa Pond, and it seemed that you could have tea while looking at Sarusawa Pond from there.

波しぐれ三度笠
Stone carving
👍👍 ここで流政行氏の作品に出会うとは思ってもみませんでした。流石です。三体ともすべて少しづつ違っています。小さい橋を渡って一本道のその向こうに佇み良い眺めです。このように抽象的でなく写実的に作られたら夜はどんなに怖いかってつまらぬことを考えてしまいました。

Arashiyama Arhat image

Arashiyama Arhat
Stone carving
👍 Arhat is an abbreviation for arhat and is a Buddhist saint. Approximately 70 stone statues were built here as a memorial to the Great Kobe Earthquake. It's a recent product, so it's not very famous, but it's very realistic and detailed, and it's so large that it looks scary. It's worth seeing once....

Zannen-ishi
Stone carving
👍 はるばる大阪城まで運ばれてきたのに、石垣として使われなかった石とか、そもそも運ばれず切り出したまま産地で捨て置かれた石を、『お前は石垣になれず、残念だったなあ』ということで『残念石』と名付けたそうです。 ここの『残念石』は、産地の小豆島で切り出したまま捨て置かれていた2個の石を、小豆島青年会議所と大...

Monument to the Battleship Musashi
Stone carving
😐 大和型級戦艦、二番艦の武蔵の碑です。 日本最後の戦艦で世界最大の戦艦だったそうです。 日本海軍の旗艦を務め、レイテ沖の戦闘で総攻撃を受けながらも約5時間戦い続けましたが損害が酷く、残念ながら海に沈んでしまいました。 戦略が航空機攻撃に移行する以前に竣工していたら、圧倒的な強さで戦果を上げていたいたかも...

Satsuma Retainers Monument
Historical place
👍 As I learned about the Kiso Mikawa flood control project that took place in the faraway places of Gifu, Aichi, and Mie, I felt grateful that the rich lives we have now are possible because of the sacrifices of our predecessors. I just put my hands together, thinking that he must have passed away wit...

Zenigata Heiji Monument
Historical landmark
👍👍 神田明神の御神殿の右側にある石碑。 銭形の平次は野村胡堂の名作「銭形平次捕物控」の主人公であり架空の人物で明神下の台所町の長屋に住んでいたという設定なんですね。 小さい頃にテレビでみた大川橋蔵さんの雄姿が浮かんできます。 石造りの寛永通宝の銭形の台座の中央に平次の碑が建ち その右側にはチンマリと八五...

Statue of Kogoro Katsura / Site of Choshu Domain Residence

👍 This is where the former Choshu domain residence was located. Nearby, Ikumatsu, a restaurant where his lover at the time and later his wife, the geisha Ikumatsu, hid, is still in business.
