A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 48, Yamaga to Tamana
Fri Dec 20th, 2013
It promises to hold upward a fine twenty-four hr stream equally I caput out but after dawn, though a bitterly mutual frigidity air current is blowing the clouds across the heaven at speed. On my means out of town I operate yesteryear through a pocket-size collection of streets amongst a large soy sauce brewery in addition to a collection of quondam Edo Period storehouse right away converted to shops. I'm surprised to run into some of them already opened upward at this early on hour. It's truly quite a overnice niggling district, similar to hundreds of others scattered across Japan.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few kilometers exterior town I plough off at the sign pointing to my get-go stop, the Kumamoto Prefectural Ancient Tomb Museum. At a pocket-size motorcar green I notice dozens of pocket-size tunnels dug into the cliff faces, patently they were used for burials, though I postulate maintain non seen anything similar them anywhere else inward Japan.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 path leads upward through the wood in addition to inward a few minutes I am yesteryear the largest keyhole tomb inward Kyushu. The route from the motorcar green to hither is to a greater extent than than 2km hence this path was a keen shortcut. The museum adjacent to the tomb mounds is yesteryear Tadao Ando, in addition to is yet some other inward the Artpolis project.
I run approximately taking shots of the museum's exterior in addition to hence larn huddle inward the corner out of the air current yesteryear the entrance. It is withal xxx minutes earlier opening fourth dimension but the lady on the desk comes over in addition to lets me inward out of the wind. The displays are good. Lots of reconstructions of the inner chambers of burial mounds from approximately the region, interestingly all brightly decorated.
I caput dorsum to the top dog route downward the path in addition to decease along on my way. It is generally slightly downhill but i time the route gets dorsum to the Kikuchi River it goes upward in addition to over to avoid the large horseshoe flexure that the river takes. I halt inward at a few shrines. As shrines larn they are fairly interesting amongst some overnice wooden komainu and quondam paintings.
In some areas of Nippon the shrines are fairly plain, but some areas, similar here, the shrines demo to a greater extent than decoration. As I am coming inward to Kikusui I tin postulate heed a saxophone playing, equally I larn closer to the origin of the sound, virtually distinctly jazz, it stops, in addition to hence a infinitesimal later on I run into a human being walk out of a double-decker shelter carrying a saxophone case. Obviously his neighbors produce non similar him practicing at home.
I notice that the local manhole covers characteristic a haniwa, the ceramic figures that were places approximately burial mounds inward ancient times, in addition to hence I operate yesteryear a huge sculpture of the same design. Just off the route are the Etafunayama Burial Mounds, but I create upward one's heed non to visit, preferring to press on. The top dog route joins dorsum upward amongst the river in addition to right away the coastal champaign opens up. I am able to larn off the top dog route in addition to walk along the river embankment.
I larn to the bridges that cross over the river into Tamana but comport on downward the left banking concern towards my finish for the night, a large sports green on a hilltop overlooking the town. It is a massive complex amongst facilities for many kinds of sports in addition to at the highest indicate inward the green I discovery what I am looking for, the Tamana Observatory, an observation tower overlooking the town.
Actually tower is a misnomer, its some other of the Artpolis projects in addition to looks to a greater extent than similar a massive sculpture amongst shapes interlocked in addition to protruding out all over.
There are stairs in addition to decks at dissimilar levels in addition to the whole mish-mash of shapes seem to hold upward collected approximately a large egg shaped shape at the center. There are locked steel doors on the egg, but seem variety of pointless equally at that spot are broad gaps inward the walls on either side large plenty to easily skid within where I discovery a perfectly ovoid bedchamber amongst smoothen concrete walls.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 perfect identify to pass the night, really womb-like (but at that spot is a fine trouble betwixt womb in addition to cell?). Here I volition hold upward prophylactic from the elements, sabre-toothed tigers, or fifty-fifty crowds of angry villagers amongst open fire torches in addition to pitchforks.
