Matsuyma Garden Art Museum

Reviewed By Reiji N - Narita, Japan

Our family loves cats so whenever we hear of an unusual place with cat themes in Japan. This place has always been one of our favorite places in Chiba. Every year late spring,we receive notice the exhibition will be held. Nothing, but cats. Although it is a family oriented place, it maybe
boring for young children since it is an art museum.
They have various art works, pottery, photos, paintings on display. Several of them are available to us to purchase. Entrance fee is 800 yen per adult & 400 per child. Drinks are optional.
The place is very difficult to find, in the middle of forest & rice paddies. It's about 45 mins by car from Narita Airport. Public transportation maybe nil. The exhibition is held only once a year during late spring - early summer. Every year it is different. Advise you to check with the museum first. Held Only on the weekends. This year it ends in July.
The garden is lovely, they have a tiny cafe, a new thing this year. Of course, cats greet you at both the cafe and garden. This year, we spent about 1 hour playing with kittens running around their cafe. They serve ice/hot tea & coffee with cat cookies. This is extra charge.
Can't wait till next year to see the grown up kittens again!

Initially wasn't much motivated to go up for a mediocre view but it ended up being a great time at watching a 360 degree on ocean and land. You can Beaches, cabbage fields, temples, city, coast, sea, etc with a nice breeze.

国道296号沿い、多古大橋のすぐ近くにあります。道の駅の裏には川が流れ田園風景が広がっていて、アジサイの季節は見ごとです。館内のふれあい市場では、地元の多古米はもちろん、とりたての野菜がたくさん売られていて、お手頃な価格で購入できます。レストランも併設されていて、ここでも多古米、やまと芋、豚肉、野菜など地元の特産品を使った料理をいただけます。

Katori Shrine

Reviewed By percyvakil - Mumbai, India

The Katori shrine, or Katori Jingu as it is known is an ancient shrine of the Shinto order said to have been started over two and a half thousand years ago. The Honten and other structures have been rebuilt many times over the centuries. The current structures were built around 1700 AD.
I went to Katori in February. I took a train from Narita to Sawara. After looking around in Sawara, and lunch there I asked how to get to Katori Jingu. A tourist office (no one spoke English) pointed and gestured for me to take a taxi from Sawara station.
Once there, the first thing you see is a wooden gateway with a forested area behind. Through the gateway is a path through the woods, sloping upwards with carved stone pillars on both sides. Inside there's a set of steps leading to the main temple.
The temple is a black wood structure and is beautiful.
Getting back was a problem. There was no taxi and no one around spoke English. I got to the nearby Katori station but there was no one there and no ticket machine or counter.
After waiting half an hour and seeing no one around, I saw a sign on the railway platform pointing in the direction of Sawara town. I walked for an hour till I got to Sawara station.
I was told later that I could have boarded a train at Katori and bought the ticket on arrival at Narita (information not confirmed)
I also found out later there are local busses from Sawara station passing the shrine, both ways.

直売所には、農産物、海産物、畜産物などがたくさん陳列されていて、種類・品数の豊富さはスーパーの食品売り場みたいでした。また、花と植物のコーナーのほか、ベーカリー、スムジーやジェラートの売店もありました。レストランにはカレーやラーメンなどもありますが、ランチバイキング(1,500円)は、地元食材を使った料理で旨そうでした。外には芝生広場やコンビネーション遊具もあるので、買い物や休憩だけでなく楽しく過ごせる道の駅です。

日蓮宗の学問所の跡地で、日本最古の大学と評されているので一見の価値ありです。駐車場から農村集落の狭い道路を500メートルほど上ったところに総門があります。さらに、木々に囲まれた静かな参道の奥に、講堂、鐘楼、鼓楼があります。立正大学発祥之地の石碑もありました。とても静かで厳かな雰囲気でした。
