Best places: Historical landmarks in Nanyō, Japan

This towering, ancient wooden structure on Mount Haguro is accessible year-round via a hiking trail.

👍👍 A must-see. Remarkably well-preserved, free entry, and has information pamphlets in multiple languages. An important reminder of the tragic and heroic stories that arose from the 3.11 disaster, and the incredible resilience of the local communities. There’s also valuable information on disaster prev...

👍👍 東日本大震災で学校は被災したが、90人全員無事に帰還できた。小学校は震災当時のまま保存されている。入場料大人400円。休館日は毎週月曜日なので見学の際は注意。小学校の1階を自由に見て回った後、2階へ階段で上がる。10分ほどの映像を見られますが、見学者の数によりタイミングが変わり、係の人に案内される。その後屋...

This large, iconic cherry tree, which is more than 1,000 years old, flowers from mid to late April.

Wealthy merchant's 1918 estate, now a museum with tours of its gardens & open-air architecture.

👍👍 We have arrived at the weeping cherry blossoms at the battlefield. As expected, this place was packed with people and there were also stalls. It seems they also hold events. The place name "Kassenba" is a common name, and the high ground on both sides of National Route 459 has been called that for s...

👍👍 A quiet top of hill on an island. It took me 20 minutes stroll from train station. Easy steps climbing up to the top, hand rails, steps and natural steps. A great way to admire bird eye view of the seaside.

Circa-1965 concrete replica of a destroyed 14th-century castle featuring scenic vistas & a museum.

Wooden temple from 1796 with a unique double-helix structure & a spiral staircase.

Tomb of an Edo Period feudal lord, featuring intricate, colorful carvings & a nearby museum.

👍👍 Really lovely statue and great spot to learn about the history of Sendai, Sendai Castle and get arguably the best view of the city. I went in the evening when the sun was close to setting and it was really lovely. Walking from the city takes 25 minutes or so, or you can take the subway and then walk...

Cherry blossoms & bay views in a storied hilltop green space with an observation deck & restaurant.

👍👍 200円の割引を使って、入って観光しました！ 無料ガイドさんのお話を聞いてから庭園を回ったんですけど、凄く落ち着いた雰囲気がとても心地良かったです。 道中にカメが黄昏ていたのを見たのですがとても可愛いかったです。

Edo-period museum-home of a wealthy merchant family, with gardens & a public foot spa.

👍👍 震災の悲惨さに凄くシンミリとなり、映像での悲惨さと教訓が凄く伝わってきた。 石巻市の祈念公園より距離的に訪れやすいので、松島観光のあとでも是非行ってほしい。

13th-century castle ruins in a sprawling mountain park where traditional festivals take place.

👍 いつかは。 と思っていましたが、 やっと来れました。 仕事で会津若松駅前に宿泊できたので、 早朝散歩、片道約2キロ徒歩で約30分。 飯盛山に上がる時間はどのくらいかかるのか下調べしていなかったので、 何十分かかるかドキドキしていましたが、 階段を登ること、5分くらいで上がることができました。 動く坂道は当然ま...

👍👍 2022/2/23訪問。各部屋を通路から眺めるのではなく、実際に部屋の中へ入って間近で見ることが出来ます。障子が素敵です。2階の広間では『傘福』というつり飾りが多数展示してあり、見事！圧巻でした！傘福特別展準備の為、スタッフがバタバタしていましたが、特別展は更に圧巻なのでしょうかね？気になります。入場料は各種...

👍 Visited on September 10, 2023 There are perfect signboards to guide you, so you can arrive easily. It is a gigantic tree that is 1000 years old, and its branches are curved and curved like the legs of an octopus.What's even more surprising is that Totoro is made up of only one tree, rather than bein...
