Mamedamachi Shopping Street

Reviewed By Chantman - Sydney, Australia

We always try to find historic areas in Japan, so while on Kyushu island we visited two streets in Mamedamachi that were recommended by guide books. Unfortunately there is very little traditional feeling to these two streets anymore. They are now fully occupied by tourist shops ( yes, there are some nice pottery shops). In fact, if we hadn't been told it would be hard to recognise this was an historic area. If you have been to Tsumago or even Gion in Kyoto, this is not worth seeking out.

Sapporo Beer Kyushu Hita Brewery

Reviewed By Masunori - Brisbane, Australia

We went on a Sunday morning and it was dead quiet. We chose the self tour and the factory was closed so none of the machinery were running. It was a nice detour, but I don't think it was worth the trip. Luckily Mamedamachi Shopping Street was worth stopping at Hita for.
The main reason we went was to replace a Sapporo Beer glass that we broke that we purchased in Sapporo Beer Factory Hokkaido :)

Ontayakino Sato

Reviewed By PvcM - Alexandria, Virginia

Worth a special trip. This picturesque village is dedicated to creating wonderful craft pottery using medieval techniques. Watch how they prepare the clay by pulverizing it with water powered hammers.

Mikumagawa River

Reviewed By Bestlambert - Taipei, Taiwan

The hotel I stayed was right beside the river. Luckily, we had a very big window right towards the river, too. Therefore, we could fully appreciate the sunset and the scenery. It is really hard to imagine that as highly developed as Japan is, they still preserve so many marvelous natural beauties.
I seized the chance to jog along the river in the morning, which was fun, too. Beside the river, there were also two small parks.

Heard all your wish will came true if you visit here and worship. It is located right out of a hiway exit, so visit there if you have time and a wish to realize.

日田から黒川方面へ車で行く途中に立ち寄りました。
大山町といえば梅干しで町おこしをした有名な場所です。しかし梅干しの種類が少なくちょっと気が抜けてしまいました。ここのお茶をお土産に購入しましたが、翌日道の駅阿蘇へも立ち寄ると阿蘇の方が断然品数が多く残念な気持ちになりました・

Sakuradaki Waterfall

Reviewed By yamagara7588 - Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

国道210号線のあまがせ保育園前のタクシー会社の横の道から徒歩で入ります。
歩いて15分ほどです。
小さな滝ですが自然が好きならば近くを通られた時に寄って見ては如何ですか?
有名な滝より人が少ない、歩きやすい、静かです。
但し落石注意の立札はありました。
広場に桜の木が植えられてたので春はお花見も出来そうです。

Kangien

Reviewed By Bestlambert - Taipei, Taiwan

This has once been one of the 3 biggest and well-reputed private school in Japan. At most, they once had 200+ students. The owner was a very famous local scholar and quite a few of his family members were very erudite. However, I was a bit frustrated that all the introductions were written only in Japanese.

Kunchou Sake Museum

Reviewed By Bestlambert - Taipei, Taiwan

There are two shops at the entrance, one for souvenirs and one for ice cream. Besides traditional flavored like blueberry and vanilla, they also offer wine-flavor. If it were not a very cold winter, I would definitely have tried it.
As to the museum, I'd appreciate everything much more if there could be English or Chinese introductions.
