A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 58, Takeo Onsen to Kashima
Lord's Day Feb 16th 2014
I caput off inwards the black equally I get got a long distance to encompass earlier I make my room I've booked inwards Kashima tonight. On the meridian of a loma to the southward of the town I come upward to my commencement port of call, the Saga Prefecture Space & Science Museum.
I get got heard that the museum is quite good, but I am far equally good early on to hold out able to become within too anyway it is the architecture that interests me. Like too thence many of these provincial museums, the architects get got indulged themselves too created a modernist collage of protruding shapes too geometric solids reminiscent of a Sci-Fi motion painting rendered infinite structure, freed from gravity.
I wander to a greater extent than or less too teach some skilful shots from all angles earlier heading off. It's skilful to hold out off the master copy roads equally I cutting across the hills. No commercial properties at all, too real lilliputian traffic. I experience much to a greater extent than comfortable equally this is the variety of province where I create most of my walking. I notice that a lot of fields get got wheat growing inwards them. As green I halt inwards at the local shrines I pass. At 1 of them a ceremony is nigh to accept house too thence I hang dorsum a little. There is a priest too nigh eight men, all of them dressed inwards everyday clothes, too thence they are non hamlet "elders."
I get got attended many hamlet shrine ceremonies over the years, too it is ever but men. I get got nevertheless to run into a adult woman at such an event. As I teach unopen to Ureshino I make a bigger route too function past times nether an expressway. I honour the house I get got been eagerly anticipating, the Ureshino Hihokan, which translates equally "Museum of Hidden Treasures," a euphemism for sexual activity museum.
It would hold out difficult to know what it was if you lot didn't read Japanese, equally in that location was non a lot of signage, the most visible matter beingness a large golden statue of the Buddhist deity Kannon flanked past times a pair of Nio which made the edifice look to hold out some sort of religious structure.
There used to hold out a lot to a greater extent than of these places, many, similar this one, inwards hot trammel resorts, but they are disappearing. This 1 volition hold out closing side past times side calendar month too thence I was glad of the chance to visit.
For straight off I volition but nation that it was fascinating too over the meridian kitsch, though it also had many illustration of the traditional rock phalli that I proceed to try out on my explorations of the backwaters of Japan.
H5N1 few minutes afterwards leaving the Hihokan I function out the master copy route too accept a smaller route towards the coast. All morning time I had been climbing slightly, but straight off the route starts to descend. I notice a lot of houses get got thatched roofs, rather the thatched roofs that get got been covered over alongside tin. I am non certain when they started to create that, too you lot volition also sometimes run into a thatched roof that has been covered inwards tile. I create run into a distich alongside the thatch uncovered, too 1 is a real large household alongside relatively novel thatch.
At the junction inwards the route that leads to Yoshida the jitney halt is inwards the form of a tea pot. Yoshida is known for its ceramics. As I make the coastal plainly I tin give the axe run into Kashima ahead, a decent sized town past times the hold off of it. There are ii pilgrimage temples nearby equally good equally another sites I desire to run into but the Sun is depression inwards the heaven too thence I volition function out them till tomorrow. My ryokan is southward of the busy town centre, on the border of the sometime town too thence I hold off for a supermarket to stock upward on provisions equally I get got booked a room alongside no meals.
