We went around noon so no illuminations. It’s amazing how the bench has stood the test of time. But what’s nicer is the view of the sea and the amazing breeze!

The bench alone isn’t that impressive, but the view and super clear ocean view is amazing! Take a walk if you happen to pop by and use the roadside station.

Longest bench in the world is temporarily closed - still 5 stars as I could tell it was really long when open

One of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. Good place swim and bath. And this bench is said to be the longest in the world, 460m I think.

Not so fascinating as imagined. The bench is not well maintained. Didn't even feel like sitting there. The view is nice though

Just really cool. How???

It's overrun with rubbish! Once you look past that, it's okay, and I'd bet it's a decent dip in the sea during summer (visited in late Nov). And yes, the bench is loooooong, but it's still just a bench.

(Translated by Google) There was a free "sightseeing parking lot" in the residential area. There, the walking courses of cultural properties scattered around the village were posted with pictures, and I could understand what they were like. It was near the evening today, so I went only to the "Old Fukuura Lighthouse", but it was easy to understand because the arrows were displayed on the information board. The road was narrow because the land was used up to the coastline, and there were fields and graves next to it. The promenade is almost like walking in a bamboo bush. I felt a little scared by myself. I thought it would be better for some people to go. The lighthouse itself wasn't as big as I expected, but it was a historical building. (Original) 住宅地の中に無料の『観光駐車場』がありました。そこには、集落に点在する文化財の散策コース等が写真付きで掲示されていて、どんな物なのか把握できました。 今日は夕方近かったので、『旧福浦灯台』のみ行きましたが、案内板等で矢印が表示されていたのでわかりやすかったです。 道は海岸線まで土地が使われているので、隣に畑があったり、お墓があったりして道は狭かったです。遊歩道はほぼ竹やぶの中を歩いた感じです。一人ではちょっと怖い感じがしました。何人かで行かれる方が良いと思いました。 灯台自体は思っていたほど大きくありませんでしたが、歴史が感じられる建物でした。

Good

(Translated by Google) The oldest Western-style wooden lighthouse in Japan, built in 1876. It was used until 1952 (Showa 27). When using the nearest parking lot, there are narrow slopes and corners, and driving skills are required. You can see a boat that goes around Iwamon coming up close and sightseeing. I remember the family dropping their hands on the tour boat, and it is a memorable favorite building and scenery. (Original) 1876年に建てられた国内最古の西洋式木造灯台。1952年(昭和27年)まで使用されました。 一番近い駐車場を利用する場合は道幅の狭い坂や曲がり角があり運転技術が必要です。 巌門巡りの船が近くまで来て遊覧しているのが見えます。家族でその遊覧船に手を降った思い出があり、心に残る大好きな建物と風景です。

(Translated by Google) From Prefectural Route 36 Shiga Toki Line, take the road towards the lighthouse, pass the Fukuura Post Office, and turn right at the crossroads about 400 meters ahead. There is a free tourist parking lot. From the tourist parking lot, go down the narrow road toward the sea at the crossroads, and at the end, turn right and you will find the Old Fukuura Lighthouse. It takes about 10 minutes from the parking lot. Along the way, there are places where you can see the sea and graves. It is a small white wooden lighthouse and is said to be the oldest existing wooden lighthouse in Japan. It was raining on the day I visited, and there were no tourists. (Original) 県道36号志賀富来線から灯台方面の道に入り、福浦郵便局を過ぎ400mほど先の十字路を右折すると無料の観光駐車場があります。観光駐車場から十字路を海に向かって細い道を降り、突き当りを右に行くと旧福浦灯台があります。駐車場からは10分ほどで着きます。途中、海が見える所やお墓などがあります。白い小さな木造灯台で現存する日本最古の木造灯台だそうです。訪れた日は雨降りで、観光客は一人もいませんでした。

(Translated by Google) This is Japan's oldest wooden lighthouse, located on top of a cliff called Hiyoriyama. The current lighthouse was built in 1876, still retaining its original shape, and for 76 years, until a new lighthouse was installed, it alerted ships going offshore of its location. The slope in the foreground is paved with cobblestones, giving it an old-fashioned feel. The view of the ocean from the lighthouse is spectacular. (Original) 日和山と呼ばれる断崖の上にある、日本で最も古い木造灯台です。 現在の灯台は1876年にかつての形状を残したまま建造され新灯台が設置されるまでの76年にわたり沖を行く舟にその位置を知らせてきました。 手前の坂道は石畳になっていて、昔ながらの風情が残っています。灯台から見渡す海は絶景です。

(Translated by Google) I had heard that it was one of the ports of call on the westbound route pioneered by Kawamura Zuiken, and I was finally able to come. It was a very calm day, so we had a nice view. (Original) 河村瑞賢が拓いた西廻り航路の寄港地の一つと聞いていましたが、やっと来れました。とても穏やかな日でしたので、良い景色が見れました

(Translated by Google) I came here on my way from Kanazawa to Wajima. I got a little lost at first because Google Maps guided me to a place that I couldn't go to by car, but there was a tourist parking lot up the slope in front of me, so I walked from there and arrived safely. I think it takes about 10 minutes on foot from the parking lot. It is said to be the oldest wooden lighthouse in existence, and it appears that a new lighthouse is currently in operation elsewhere. (Original) 金沢から輪島に向かう途中に来てみました。 Googlemapの案内で最初は車では行けない所に案内され少し迷いましたが、手前の坂道を登った所に観光駐車場が有り、そこから歩いて無事に着きました。 駐車場からは徒歩で10分まではかからないかと思います。 現存する木造の灯台では一番古い灯台だそうで、今は新たな灯台が別の所に有るらしく稼働していない模様です。

(Translated by Google) Japan's oldest existing wooden lighthouse From the perspective of people who have seen various lighthouses, It seems like a very well-maintained lighthouse. The path to get there is well-maintained, but the roadside is a little (a lot?) dense and can be a bit scary. It seems that it is lit up depending on the time of year, but it might be difficult for a woman to go there alone. Park your car at the nearest tourist parking lot and walk there. Google's navigation may lead you to take a detour via Konpira Shrine, but there is an entrance to the promenade right from the parking lot. (Original) 日本最古の現存する木造灯台 いろんな灯台をみている人からすると とてもきれいに管理された灯台と思えますが 行くまでの遊歩道が、道自体は整備されていますが、道端が少し(だいぶ？)鬱蒼としていて、少しこわいかも 時期によってはライトアップもされているようですが、女性ひとりでは、行きにくいかな 車は最寄りの観光駐車場に停めて、徒歩で向かいます Googleのナビだと、金比羅神社経由の遠回りを案内されるかもしれませんが、駐車場からすぐの遊歩道入口あります

(Translated by Google) Park your car at the former Fukuura Lighthouse tourist parking lot and walk for about 5 minutes. Follow the narrow promenades, relying on the maps and information boards located throughout the town. There were some graves and grassy areas along the way, making it a bit lonely, but it was easy to walk around with no bad footing. The location is great as it's right next to the sea. The weather was bad that day, and the wind was extremely strong, allowing us to see the rough waves of the Sea of ​​Japan. It's a small lighthouse, and the wooden structure gives it a very retro feel. I thought the shapes around the door and window frames were cute. I would like to come again on a nice day. (Original) 旧福浦灯台観光駐車場に車を止め、徒歩で5分位。 町の所々にある地図や案内板を頼りに、細い遊歩道を進みます。 途中お墓や草が茂った箇所もあり、少々寂しい雰囲気でしたが、足元の悪い所もなく散策はしやすかったです。 海のすぐ側なのでロケーションは最高です。 この日は天気が悪く、風がめちゃくちゃ強く日本海の荒波を見れました。 小さな灯台で、木造なのがとてもレトロで素敵です。扉周りの造形や窓枠なんかが可愛いなと思いました。 天気の良い日にまた来てみたいです。

Nice little roadside station next to “the longest bench in the world.” Spacious parking lot, homey restaurant, and local souvenirs. You can even purchase live seafood in a tank at the entrance. The guy at the cashier were welcoming and we got local travel guide books. Unfortunately we couldn’t make it to their lunch hour(lunch finishes at 1:30) but there’s a supermarket nearby. It was nice to have lunch by the beach on a warm sunny day in March!

Located right next to "the longest bench in the world", this roadside station offers some of the local seafood and delicacies at reasonable prices. I had Okaidoku kaisendon (value sashimi lunch set) at 1100yen. Good for the price. You'll purchase ticket of the meal from the vending machine and give it to the staff to cook you the meal. Local gifts and souvenirs can also be bought in the store. Good place for a quick rest.

This is a review written by two of my students about this rest stop: Michinoeki Togi Kaido is very good. It is visited and loved by many people. It has a restaurant and a good shop. There are many souvenirs. You can see unusual things in this shop: Kiriko, cards, and many pictures. They sell Sakuragai, it's very beautiful. Dansyaku Potato soft cream is delicious. Going to this place is a must!

A well parking lot.

very cheap vegetable in here

(Translated by Google) There are many cherry blossom roadside stations, A roadside station with cherry blossoms blooming in the sea, It's probably only here at Togikai Kaido. The cherry blossoms blooming in the sea are It launches in the winter at Masuhoura, which is located directly behind this roadside station. It is a beautiful natural pink cherry blossom shell. The residents of this area pick up and collect these cherry blossom shells. This is because cherry blossoms are shells that bring happiness. I also collected cherry blossom shells at Masuhoura in the middle of winter. It was cold, the waves covered us, and it was just too tough. The person selling the cherry blossoms is It's Togikai Kaido. Cherry blossom shells in a small bottle, reminiscent of Okinawa's star sand, Many pieces of Sakuragai art are sold at reasonable prices and displayed at the museum. Spreading happiness all over the place...! ! Of course, it's not just cherry blossoms. They also sell souvenirs from Ishikawa Prefecture, local sake, and foods made by locals. It even has a restaurant that serves locally produced ingredients! It's Togi's base! Let's take a look at the monument to the famous Showa song, ``Kikake no Haha'' before heading home! The store staff are friendly and even give you a tourist map of Shiga Town when you shop! Togi means wealth will come. It's a town with a really good name. Even though it may be difficult, it will always be worth it. It's one of my favorite roadside stations, and I'm looking forward to the time when I can go there again. Everyone who visits is sure to buy some cherry blossom shells and take them home, praying that one day they will be able to pick them up. (Original) 桜の道の駅は数あれど、 海に咲く桜の道の駅は、 ここ「とぎ海街道」さんだけだろう。 その海に咲く桜というのは、 この道の駅の真裏にある増穂浦で冬季に打ち上がる、 天然ピンクの美しい、「桜貝」のことだ。 この辺りの住民の皆さんは、この桜貝を拾って集めている。 なぜならば、桜貝は、幸せを呼ぶ貝殻だからだ。 僕も真冬の増穂浦で桜貝拾いをしたのだが、 寒いし、波は被るし、ともかく過酷だった。 その桜貝を販売してくれているのが、 とぎ海街道さんなのだ。 沖縄の星の砂よろしく、小瓶に入れた桜貝や、 桜貝アートの数々が良心的な価格で販売、資料館では展示されているのだ。 幸せを、振りまきまくってくれている…！！ もちろん桜貝だけではない。石川県のお土産や、地酒、地元の方が作った食品なども売られている。地産の食材を扱う食堂までついているぜ！富来の拠点だぜ！ 昭和歌謡の名曲、「岸壁の母」の歌碑も見て帰ろう！ 店員さんも気さくで、買い物すると志賀町の観光マップとかくれるよ！ 富が来る、と書いて富来（とぎ）。 めっちゃ良い名前の町だ。 困難なときもあれど、必ず報われるだろう。 僕もまた行ける時を楽しみにしている、大好きな道の駅の筆頭だ。 訪れるみんなも、是非、桜貝を買って帰り、いつの日かとぎることを祈っている。

(Translated by Google) More than 30 years ago, my husband and I picked up many kinds of shells, including cherry shells, and we still cherish them in jars as keepsakes. I was surprised that there was no. Maybe it was because the wind and waves were so strong, but there was no beach. Is that why? How to sell cherry blossoms at a roadside station... Of course, cherry blossom shells have been famous for a long time, but I felt it was strange because we don't have many opportunities to pick them up these days. (Original) 30年以上前に主人と桜貝をはじめ、沢山の種類の貝殻を拾い、思い出の品として今も大切にビン詰めして飾っているので、あらためて来てみたものの、貝殻を拾えるほどの海岸「浜」がないことにびっくりしました。風や波が強かったからなのかもしれませんが、それにしても浜はありませんでした。だからでしょうか。道の駅でのあの桜貝の売り方…。昔から桜貝が有名なのはもちろんなのですが、なんとなく違和感感じたのは、今はあまり拾える環境ではなくなったから…なのでは？

(Translated by Google) October 31, 2021 I went there for the first time in about 40 years since I was in elementary school. At that time, I remember that it was a difficult place to get to along the rocky shore, but now it has been maintained and is bright and easy to get to. In addition to the stone hexagonal Jizo pagoda, an explanation board was also installed. The Jizo Tower was the same as I remember seeing it a long time ago. There is a stone hexagonal Jizo pagoda that is said to have been erected by the owner of the ship, whose son and crew lost their lives during the Muromachi period when a ship in what is now Nagasaki Prefecture sank off the coast of Oshima, using stones brought from his hometown as a memorial service. If you go in the evening, you can see a beautiful sunset. (Original) 2021年10月31日 小学生の頃以来、40数年ぶりに行ってみました。 当時は海岸岩場沿いの行きにくい場所だった記憶だったのですが、現在は整備され明るく行きやすくなっていました。 石積六角地蔵塔の他、解説板が設置されていました。地蔵塔は昔見た記憶と変わりなかったです。 室町時代、現在の長崎県の船が大島沖で沈没し、息子と乗組員が亡くした船主が供養の為に故郷から運び込んだ石で建立したと言い伝えられる石積六角地蔵塔があります。 夕方に行けば綺麗な夕陽が見れますよ。

(Translated by Google) It is located on the Oshima coast of Noto Peninsula Quasi-National Park. This Jizo tower is estimated to have been built during the Muromachi period. (Original) 能登半島国定公園・大島海岸にあります。 この地蔵塔は、室町時代に建てられたと推定されています

(Translated by Google) Since it was called a hall, I automatically imagined it to be a small wooden building. Actually it's just a stone monument. Part of it seems to be vintage. To visit, you have to follow a network of roads through the villages, so it can be confusing without a guide (long live Google Maps). (Original) 堂と言うからには、木造の小さな建物を勝手に想像していた。実際は石碑のみ。その一部分が年代物らしい。訪ねるには網の目のような集落の道を行くので、ガイド無しだと(グーグルマップ万歳)戸惑うかも。

(Translated by Google) Enter through the torii gate next to the road, climb the narrow stairs, pass through the barren land, and then descend the stone steps on the ocean side, looking out at the ocean. A spacious landscape appears. The Shogando Hall is secretly enshrined at the foot of the stone steps. To the left, a promenade continues along the edge of a steep cliff. (Original) 道路際の鳥居から入って狭い階段を登り荒れた大地を通り抜け、海側の石段を下りながら海を眺めます。 広々とした風景が現れます。 石段の袂に諸願堂が密やかに鎮座しております。 左方へ行くと切り立った崖の縁に遊歩道が続きます。

(Translated by Google) Until I came here, there was a dead end and the area was full of garbage. There's nothing to see other than a pile of stones to commemorate the dead. (Original) ここに来るまで行き止まりになっていたり、周辺がゴミだらけでした ポツンと慰霊の石積みがあるくらいで他は見るところなし

(Translated by Google) I noticed it on Google Maps, I went there for the first time and it had a very relaxing atmosphere. It was great for a walk to relieve stress. (Original) グーグルマップで気になり、 初めていきましたが、とてものんびりした雰囲気でした ストレス発散目的の散策には、とても良かったです

(Translated by Google) There are many strangely shaped rocks and a beach nearby, making it a hidden spot for photography enthusiasts. (Original) 奇岩が多くて近くには海水浴場もあり、写真好きには穴場のスポットです。
