This temple is absolutely STUNNING. I was blown away by the hysterically fun chair lift to the temple. The autumn leaves are positively glowing right now--- the perfect time to visit! I highly recommend purchasing the pass that allows you to go to the top of the mountain additional. I had the opportunity to watch a black kite glide about.

東九州道が全通するまでは横をよく通りすぎていましたが、実際に立ち寄ったのは初めてでした。
屋台とか結構多いのですね！でも今日は定休日のところが多く残念…。
奥の飲食店街は地元の方が作られた貝汁とか周防灘の海の幸が食べられるみたい。
食べすぎになるので今回はパスしましたが、いつか食べてみたい！

山国川の河口近くに位置する神社。JR吉富駅から歩くと20-30分くらいです。駐車場は東側の土手との間に広いのがあります。
想像していたよりもなかなか建物の立派な大きな神社で、圧倒されました。社叢もうっそうとしていて荘厳な雰囲気ですが、マムシが出るそうなので注意。

It was wonderful to be able to experience the natural places in Japan one way from the cities. We enjoyed a great drive through the Yaba-Hita-Hikosan National Park with Yabakei Gorge a key feature. It was a very nice side excursion on the way to Amagase by car.

吉富町役場かフォー・ユー会館に車を停めて散歩するとよいでしょう。
5分ほどで登れる小高い丘で、展望台があり、九重連山の眺めがよいです。展望台のそばには古墳や中津藩主小笠原家の墓所もあります。
となりの吉富公園と併せて散歩すると、狭い範囲でたくさんの文化財を見ることができます。

Nakatsu castle tower is a museum of the Okudaira family, who were hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa family. Priceless heirlooms such as; a weapon that was used at the battle of Nagashino; armor and battle coats passed down and worn by successive generations; and writing in Tokugawa Ieyasu's own hand can be viewed by the general public.

The castle was around 15 minutes of way away from the Nakatsu Station. And the entrance fee was 400 yen per adult.
Beside the castle was the Nakatsu river. Therefore, the top of the castle overlooked great view of the river.
The castle was 5-story. From afar, it looked quite magnificent. Around the castle there were somehow several Japanese shrines.

The site was around 30 minutes of drive away from the Nakatsu Station. I took the city bus and the fare was 600 yen one-way.
The scenery was nice. However, the story of the cane was very meaningful. A monk built the tunnel with his bare hands to save people's lives and time.
Having said that, please be very careful about the bus schedule. The site was actually in the middle of nowhere.

耶馬溪観光の中心で、青の洞門や羅漢寺がある周辺が本耶馬渓。耶馬渓橋近くに駐車場があるので、青の洞門や競秀峰あたりまでは５００ｍほどなので歩いて観光できます。南側の道の駅「耶馬トピア」から青の洞門までは１ｋｍ以上ありますが、まあまあ歩ける範囲。もちろん羅漢寺は別です。
