Drop by if you’re biking in the area. The museum attached to the temple is so worth it. It contains many national treasures including samurai armors, swords and weapons

Such a beautiful shrine to wander around - we arrived at dusk and only had a few minutes but will definitely go back! I love the 2000 year old tree and temple history, want to get back to see the samurai artifacts.

This is a beautiful temple and very large but very few visitors. If you are biking, it is 100% worth it to venture off on the island explorer route to visit this temple.

The collection of national treasures here was really worth the detour to this side of the island. Unfortunately photos are not allowed, but if you're into huge ancient swords and amazingly preserved armor from the samurai era, make a point to come here.

They aren’t signing goshuincho books due to COVID at the moment, but will give you a pre customized seal on a separate piece of paper if you would like to stick it in your book. Highly recommend checking out the armor at the museum that ties with Tsuruhime and the huge camphor tree on the shrine grounds.

A very sacred shrine. Don't trust google maps when you go here. It directed me to someone else's car park.

Always enjoy visiting this most spiritual nature shrine in Omishima island. Highly recommend visiting especially if you’re a fan of Japanese history. You will enjoy treasure hunts of samurai period in the museum inside the shrine. (Although they were closed due to COVID-19 at this moment.)

Fascinating but no reasonable English explanations at the displays. There is an English brochure available at the front desk which I recommend picking up if you have no Japanese.

(Translated by Google) Besshi Copper Mine Memorial Hall! It seems that it is the origin of the Sumitomo Zaibatsu, and it has been going on since the beginning of the Edo period, isn't it? I am surprised and saved for free with such a building and exhibition ~ It is said that the azaleas are beautiful, and I would like to come again at that time ~ (Original) 別子銅山の記念館! 住友財閥の大元だそうで、江戸時代の始めから続いているとの事、スゴイですね～ これだけの建物と展示で無料はビックリ、助かります～ ツツジがきれいとの話です、またその時期に来たいと思います～

The origin of Sumitomo Group…

(Translated by Google) There is an exhibition about the Besshi Copper Mine, which was the basis of the Sumitomo Zaibatsu for free admission. Copper was mined for 280 years until it opened in 1691, the following year in 1690 (Genroku 3), and closed in 1973 (Showa 48). It seems that it was done. Unlike coal mines, it was not a matter of demand or cost, but because it was dug for 280 years, it was forced to close the mine because the tunnel could not withstand geothermal heat and earth pressure and safety could not be maintained. Minetopia Beshiko is a major tourist destination, but there is an exhibition that is easy for children to understand, where you can experience the site of the tunnel, but this is an exhibition for adults similar to the museum. I think it is for junior high school students and above. The exhibits are divided into blocks such as those related to the Sumitomo Group, those related to the Besshi Copper Mine, those related to the ore itself, and the relationship between the Besshi Copper Mine and the region. No photography is allowed inside the building. I think it takes about an hour to see all over. I am very grateful to be able to see such an exhibition for free. Locomotives and freight cars that were active in shrines and mines are displayed outside the building. The parking lot is about 10 cars and has no capacity, so it may be crowded on holidays. By the way, it is a tough distance to walk back and forth because it is about 3km away from Minetopia Beshiko. (Original) 入館無料で住友財閥の基礎となった別子銅山に関する展示があります。 1690年（元禄3年）翌1691年に開坑、1973年（昭和48年）に閉山するまで280年にわたり銅が採掘され、開山時は海抜1200ｍだったのが閉山時には海抜マイナス1000ｍまで掘り進められたそうです。炭鉱とは違い、需要やコストの問題ではなく、280年掘り進められたため、地熱や地圧に坑道が耐えられず安全が維持できずに閉山を余儀なくされたそうです。 観光地としてはマイントピア別子がメジャーですが、あちらは坑道の現場体験できる、こどもにもわかりやすい展示になっていますが、こちらは博物館と同じような大人向けの展示です。中学生以上が対象だと思います。 展示は住友グループに関するもの、別子銅山に関する物、鉱石そのものに関する物、別子銅山と地域の関わり、といったようなブロックにわかれて展示されています。館内は写真撮影禁止です。所要時間はくまなく見て1時間程度だと思います。このような展示を無料で拝観させていただけるのは非常に有り難いです。建物の外には神社と鉱山で活躍した機関車や貨車が展示されています。 駐車場は10台程度とキャパがないため、休日は混雑するかもしれません。ちなみにマイントピア別子からは3kmほど離れているため、歩いて往復するには厳しい距離です。

(Translated by Google) Free viewing. The location is within the precincts of Oyamazumi Shrine. There are 12 parking spaces next to the shrine entrance. A museum that tells the history of the Besshi Copper Mine, which was managed and operated by the Sumitomo Group for a long time. Photography was prohibited inside the museum. The inside of the museum is well-equipped for easy viewing, and the exhibition booths are just the right size. I think it will take about 10 minutes if you just take a quick look, and about 30 minutes if you take a thorough look at the exhibits, including video materials. Exhibits and panels explained the history of copper mine mining methods from the Edo period to modern times, making it an educational experience. There is a model of the ant nest-like tunnel that the Sumitomo Group spent 283 years digging, starting from an altitude of about 1,000 meters and finally reaching 1,000 meters below sea level, and I think it's amazing. At the same time, the exhibition served as a reminder of its history and hardships. (Original) 観覧無料。 場所は大山積神社の境内にある。駐車場は神社入口の横に12台分。 住友グループがながく管理運営していた別子銅山の歴史を伝える資料館。館内は撮影禁止だった。 館内は見学しやすく整っていて、展示ブースもちょうどいいボリューム。サッと見るだけなら10分程度で観覧でき、映像資料などを含めしっかり展示を眺めても30分ぐらいだと思う。江戸時代から近代に至る銅山採掘の手法の遍歴などの説明が展示物やパネルで紹介され勉強になった。 住友グループが283年の年月をかけて、標高約1000mから掘り始めて最終的には海抜-1000m位置まで掘り進んだアリの巣のような坑道を模型にしたものがあり、すごいなと思うのと同時に、その歴史と苦労がしのばれる展示でもあった。

(Translated by Google) The Besshi Copper Mine was discovered in 1690 during the Genroku period, and the mining rights were acquired for 283 years from 1691 until the mine was closed in 1973, producing 650,000 tons of copper, making it the second largest copper mine in Japan after Ashio Copper Mine (820,000 tons). The location was over 1000m above sea level, and the deepest point was -1000m above sea level. By visiting this memorial museum, you can learn that the Besshi Copper Mine is the ``origin'' that gave Sumitomo a huge leap forward and numerous group companies sprung from it. Adjacent to the shrine and memorial hall built by Sumitomo to pray for no accidents at the copper mine, steam locomotives, electric locomotives, and electric freight cars used at the copper mine are displayed in the plaza. It has a chisel-mark finish, there is a hole in the ceiling in one place to let light shine in, and the roof is covered with Satsuki so it will be wonderful when it is in full bloom. *Parking, free admission, no photography allowed inside, very clean inside! Name required. Opening hours 9-4:30 Closed on Mondays (Original) 別子銅山は元禄時代の1690年に発見、採掘権を取得して1691年から1973年の閉山まで283年間65万トンの銅生産は足尾銅山82万トンに次ぐ日本第2位、最初の採鉱場所は海抜1000m以上からで最深は海抜−1000mに達した。別子銅山が住友を大飛躍させ幾多のグループ会社が派生する事と成った“おおもと“だと此の記念館見学で、よ〜く学べます。銅山の無事故祈願の為、住友が建てた神社と記念館隣り合わせで広場には銅山で使われた蒸気機関車、電動機関車と電動貨車を展示、館内は半地下造りで坑道をイメージして壁がノミ跡仕上げです、一か所天井に穴があいて光が差し込む演出、屋根部分はサツキが植えられているので満開時素晴らしいでしょうﾈ ＊駐車場、入館料無料、館内撮影不可、館内とても綺麗！記名必要。 開館9〜4時30分 休館月曜

(Translated by Google) I took this photo on May 13th, when the museum was closed. As expected, it was beautiful this time of year 🎵 (Original) ５月13日休館日に撮らさせて頂きました。 やはりこの時期は綺麗でした🎵

(Translated by Google) A facility that you can visit for free and learn about the history of the copper mine. You can walk around in about 30 minutes, but if you watch all the explanatory videos, it might take you about an hour. (Original) 無料での拝観でき、銅山の歴史が学べる施設。30分ぐらいで回れますが、解説動画を全部観たら１時間位かかるかもです

(Translated by Google) There are about 20 parking spaces along the road. When I came to Obon, it was closed, so I went back for another half a year after Golden Week. It seemed like it was closed during the Golden Week, so it was a good idea to open it early in the morning. Free. There are many materials and exhibits that will help you learn more about the Besshi Copper Mine. It is said that more than 500 people were killed in typhoon debris flows at one time, and debris flows used to be called mountain tsunamis. I felt that the mountain tsunami had more impact. (Original) 駐車場道沿いに20台ほど。 お盆に来たら休館だったので、半年たってGW明けにリベンジ。GW休館だったみたいなので明けにして正解でした。 無料です。別子銅山のことを深く知れる資料&展示物が沢山。 台風の土石流で一度に500人以上犠牲があったそうですが、土石流を昔は山津波と言うのですね。山津波の方がインパクトがある気がしました。

(Translated by Google) [Photo date: August 5, 2022] The shrub Satsuki that covers the roof of the memorial hall has been pruned so neatly that it looks beautiful. Also on display was a locomotive that was thought to have been used for mining at the Besshi Copper Mine. The museum was temporarily closed until the end of August due to the spread of the coronavirus, so I couldn't go inside, so I enjoyed looking at the Satsuki and the locomotives instead. I think there was a parking lot for about 10 cars under the memorial hall. (Original) 【撮影日：2022年8月5日】 記念館の屋根を覆っている低木のサツキがとてもきれいに剪定されていて、うつくしかったです。また別子銅山での採鉱などで使われていたと思われる機関車が展示されていました。 記念館はコロナウイルス完成拡大にともなって、８月末まで臨時で閉館しているみたいだったので中には入れなかったので、かわりにサツキや機関車などを見て楽しみました。 駐車場は、記念館の下に１０台分ぐらいあったと思います。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by because I wanted to know more about Besshi Copper Mine. There was a free parking lot, so I parked there, climbed the stairs of the shrine, and saw the memorial hall on the right. However, the day I visited was a closed day. I'm really disappointed. Next time I would like to check the closing dates before visiting again. (Original) 別子銅山のことが知りたくて寄ってみました。 無料の駐車場があったので停めさせて貰い、神社の階段を登って右手に記念館がありました。 が、訪れた日が休館日でした。もう本当にがっかりしました。 今度は休館日を確認してから再訪問したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I learned a lot about Besshi Copper Mine, and the buildings are really cool. What's more, the Sumitomo Group was able to construct and operate the Besshi Copper Mine for free and pass on the significance of it to future generations for a long time. The history of the Besshi Copper Mine begins in 1690, when an outcrop was discovered on the south side of an unexplored copper mine peak, and excavation began the following year by Sumitomo. This museum exhibits many valuable materials related to Sumitomo and the Besshi Copper Mine since its opening, as well as minerals, life, customs, technology, and Shisaka Island, which overcame smoke pollution. There was a poem about smoke pollution. Later, I studied at Minetopia Besshi and understood the meaning of this magazine. It's a great business idea to react the sulfur dioxide gas produced by copper smelting and turn it into fertilizer. (Original) 別子銅山についてとても良くわかったし、建物がもうカッコいい。しかも無料で別子銅山の意義を永く後世に伝えるために建設運営でできるのは流石、住友グループさん。 別子銅山の歴史は、1690年人跡未踏の銅山峰の南側で露頭が発見され、翌年から住友によって発掘が開始されたのが始まり。 こちらの館内には、住友と開坑以来の別子銅山の歴史資料や、鉱石、生活、風俗、技術、煙害を克服した四阪島等に関する貴重な資料が多数展示されています。 煙害についての詩がありましたね。後でマイントピア別子で勉強してこの誌の意味が分かりました。銅製錬で出た亜硫酸ガスを反応させて肥料にするとはなんて商売上手〜。

(Translated by Google) A stop on a group tour. The history of the copper mine was explained in detail at a power point. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take a closer look at the exhibit. (Original) 団体ツアーでの立ち寄り。バワーポイントで詳細に銅山の歴史を説明してもらった。 展示はじっくり見る時間がなくて残念だった。

Ehime Science Museum of Niihama, Ehime You need to take a bus from city to the specific place coz’ it is far from the city They have their own Museum and Historic View of Niihama. They also have a Planetarium and Kids Corner also. One of the best attraction is the Jurassic Period where they have a Dinosaur Figure. The place is silent and peaceful and you can have a piece of mind here

It was fun. everyone enjoyed. 😊

Close evey first Tuesday of the month. So sad. Just look around the front of this museum and the design if the building looks good. ปิดเพิ่ม ทุกวันอังคารแรกของเดือน

Great place to spend time and learn.

If you love science, you'll love this place. Three floors of VAST science exhibition stretching from the beginning of the universe to the latest advancement of human civilization. So, this of course includes dinosaurs and the stars. It could take you a whole day to explore the entire amazement and amusement (yes, I'm talking about planetarium shows!) this place has to offer. Definitely a must-go for a weekend family vacation!

Good place to visit and very interactive. It’s all in Japanese so if you don’t know Japanese then you won’t be able to read anything but still enjoyable!

Awesome, endearing exhibits, and the world's 2nd largest planetarium! Animatronic dinosaurs that move with fluidity and power! A food court with the best french fries in Japan! (I'm serious) Easy access from Niihama station (check the access page on the museum website for details).

too huge to look all of those

(Translated by Google) Since I visited in February, Kiyotaki was frozen! However, the white frozen waterfalls were also beautiful. It seems like a place where psychic YouTubers often come, and it's certainly a mysterious place with that feeling. (Original) 訪れた時期が2月でしたので清滝は凍っていました！けど、白く連なった凍った滝も綺麗でしたよ。心霊YouTuberも良く来ている場所みたいですね、確かにそんな感じもする不思議な場所です。

(Translated by Google) The current Kiyotaki Tunnel was opened, and the view of the waterfall can no longer be seen. The old road is closed and you have to walk to the waterfall, but you can enjoy the walk while looking at the autumn leaves🍁 I don't think it will be too tiring as there are no ups and downs until the waterfall. (Original) 現在の清滝トンネルが開通されて、滝の景観が見られなくなった 旧道は閉鎖され、徒歩で滝まで行くのですが、紅葉🍁を見ながら散策出来るので楽しい気分 滝までは、起伏もなくあまり疲れないと思います

(Translated by Google) ``With a drop of approximately 60 meters, it stands out against the fresh greenery of spring and the autumn leaves, making it one of the ``Ehime Top 100 Natural Sites,'''' says the Niihama City website.At the same time, ``In order to prevent accidents, Please do not go to Kiyotaki for the time being.'' We are also constructing facilities such as toilets (which are currently unusable), so I would like to see them refurbished. The waterfall has a different head and the amount of water is small, but it is worth seeing. Although it is closed to traffic, it is possible to go on foot, so I think it would be a good idea to watch out for falling rocks and prepare a telephoto lens to admire it from a distance. At your own risk. (Original) 「落差約60メートルを誇り、春の新緑や秋の紅葉に映え、「えひめ自然百選」のひとつにもなっています」と新居浜市のホームページに載っていますが、同時に「事故防止のためにも当分の間、清滝には行かないようにしてください」との記載も有ります。トイレ等の施設も造っているので（今は使えない）改めて整備して頂いたらと思います。滝は落差が有り水量は少ないですが、見応えは有ります。通行禁止となっていますが徒歩で行けまので、落石に気を付けて望遠レンズを用意し、遠くから鑑賞するのがいいかと思います。あくまで自己責任にて。

(Translated by Google) You are currently not allowed to enter. please note. (Original) 現在立ち入りはできません。ご注意ください。

(Translated by Google) Kiyotaki Bridge is located upstream of the Besshi Line in Niihama City. It is currently closed to traffic and you cannot drive by car, but you can walk there. It is a nostalgic place where I often crossed the bridge and camped on the riverbank when I was a student. . (Original) 新居浜市の別子ライン上流にある清滝橋です、今は通行止めになっていて、車ではいけませんが、徒歩ではいけます、学生の頃、よく橋を渡って河原でキャンプをした懐かしい所です。

(Translated by Google) It used to be easy to go sightseeing, but due to road construction, the old road was abandoned and it became deserted. There was also a place where you could look down from the top of the waterfall.•••• (Original) 昔は観光し易かったのですが、道路工事の為旧道が廃道となり寂れてしまった。滝の上から下を覗く様な場所もあったのですが••••

Nice park, with a lot of venues for sports activities.

There's a gym, a small playground, splash fountain, tennis courts, baseball diamond and a grassy area. It's nice to visit and let the kids run around but it would be better if it was maintained and beautified a little more.

lovely place for kids &family bonding

Beautiful !!!

(Translated by Google) I went at a good time when it was in full bloom. (Original) 満開でいい時期に行きました。

(Translated by Google) On October 17, 2023, the Upper Taikodai will gather for the first time in four years at Yamane Grand. I scraped it up all at once. It is an intangible cultural heritage that should be registered in the Guinness Book of Records. I think so (Original) ２０２３年１０月１７日、山根グランドで上部太鼓台が4年ぶりに集結して 一斉掻き上げしました ギネス登録して欲しい無形文化遺産だと 思いますね

(Translated by Google) It is a spacious park with grounds, tennis courts, and a pool. It's located at the foot of a mountain, so the air is nice and you can enjoy just taking a walk. I visited during the daytime on a weekday, so there weren't many people around, but I wonder if it would be crowded on weekends. (Original) グラウンドやテニスコート、プールなどを備えた広々とした公園です。山裾にあるので空気がよく、散歩するだけでも楽しめる場所ですね。 訪れたのは平日の昼間だったのであまり人影もありませんでしたが、週末はそれなりに賑わうのでしょうか。
