Ishikawa Kami Tokikuni House - 本家上時国家 - 4K Ultra HD

Ishikawa Kami Tokikuni House - 本家上時国家 - 4K Ultra HD : The Kami Tokikuni House is the most important residence of the defeated Taira general named Tairo no Tokidata, after he lost the battle of Dannoura. Sent in exile to the isolated region of the Noto peninsula, the general disavowed the clan and stopped using the name Taira, also known as Heike (which literally means “House of Taira) to create his own clan : the Tokikuni.

Far from his past exploits, the new head of the Tokikuni clan, started to help the neighbouring village farmers, who had been in great distress, but with his help prospered as a wealthy farming family in the region for many years to come.

Japan Trip: Japan Ukiyoe Museum 2 Michelin stars cool art, Nagano26 Moopon

Japan Trip: Japan Ukiyoe Museum 2 Michelin stars cool art, Nagano26 Moopon

The Japan Ukiyoe Museum (Nihon Ukiyoe Hakubutsukan) exhibits ukiyoe (woodblock prints) from the vast collection of the Sakai family. One of Matsumoto's wealthiest merchants of his time, Sakai Yoshiaki started collecting ukiyoe and other pieces of art dating back to roughly 300 years ago. His descendants have been enlarging the collection to over 100,000 pieces, making it one of the world's largest private art collections.

In contrast with the size of the collection and the museum building, the number of works exhibited in the Japan Ukiyoe Museum is rather small. One reason is because of the fact that the building was originally built only for storage rather than exhibition purposes. Only brief information in English is provided for the exhibits.

Access info.
The Japan Ukiyoe Museum is located about three kilometers outside of Matsumoto's city center, close to Matsumoto Interchange of the Nagano Expressway.
The museum can be reached in a 10 minute taxi ride from Matsumoto Station (about 1500 yen from the station's Alps Exit) or in a 15-20 minute walk from Oniwa Station on the Matsumoto Dentetsu Kamikochi Line (5 minutes, 170 yen from Matsumoto Station).

Japan Travel: Usuki Samurai District, Castle Ruins Historical Road, Oita
【★036★Oita Usuki Samurai District】

Usuki's samurai district is located at its city center, and parts of it keep the flavor of an old castle town with their stone paved alleys lined by premodern looking houses.

The main attraction is the Nioza Historical Road, a 200 meter photogenic narrow alleyway which runs along temples and residences built in Edo Period style architecture, making a feeling of the past. Parallel to it runs the Haccho Oji Shopping Street, a merchant street with a neighborhood atmosphere, lined by shops selling local specialties, groceries and etc. Walking westwards for about five minutes brings you to Ryugenji, with nice three-storied pagoda.

The Ruins of Usuki Castle
It is located on the eastern side of the district. Currently a neighborhood park is located on the former castle grounds. Unfortunately, most of the castle buildings including the main keep have been destroyed over the years, and today the only prominent structures remaining are a turret and a gate standing along the park's entrance.
