Great place to visit during plum blossom season. You can get a nice sea glass bell at the Shinto shrine as well.

Nice park with a number of things to see and several great photo opportunities. Parking and entry is free, though you may find a queue for parking if you go during blossom season and don’t arrive right when the park opens. There’s a large playground built into the hill near the amphitheater which is great for kids. From the highest point in the park you will have a great view of the sea and the well-manicured plumb trees. You’ll find turtles and koi in the pond.

Hikari Sports Park

Mentioned on 
Park
Hikari Sports Park is a sprawling recreational area that caters to sports enthusiasts with its tennis, baseball, and soccer facilities. In addition to the sports amenities, the park also features a gym and gardens. During June, visitors can enjoy the colorful blooms of hydrangeas in the "hydrangea garden." The park offers ample parking space and has a few playsets for children. A café is available on-site for meals or tea time.
(Translated by Google) Visited on June 8, 2023 (review written on January 17, 2024) ・Large parking lot available ・There is a toilet ・I didn't use the sports park, but instead visited to see the hydrangeas. ・Many hydrangeas were blooming and it was very beautiful. Hydrangea all over. ・There are steps, and the hydrangeas looked nice from above. ・There is a well-maintained promenade between the hydrangeas, so you can enjoy it while taking a stroll. It's not that big in terms of size, but it feels like it's packed with hydrangeas. The result is the best (Original) 2023年06月08日に訪問(2024年01月17日にレビュー書き込み) ・大きな駐車場あり ・トイレあり ・運動公園は利用せず、紫陽花を見るために訪問させてもらった。 ・紫陽花が何本も咲いていて、大変綺麗だった。一面紫陽花。 ・段差になっていて、上からみる紫陽花の感じ良かった。 ・紫陽花の間に整備された遊歩道があるので、とことこ散策しながら、楽しめる。大きさ的にはそこまで広くないが、ぎゅっと紫陽花が詰まっている感じ。 結果、最高

Lots of parking! Good, clean and not expensive to use the badminton areas. The toilets could use a proper upgrade.

(Translated by Google) June 19th. I came here for the first time because it was a hydrangea spot in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It was a place that was closer to the mountains than the city. The slopes of the parking lot were filled with beautiful, colorful flowers that I enjoyed. I’m glad I came ✨👍😃 (Original) 6月19日。 山口県のあじさいスポットということで初めて来てみました。 市街地より山の方へ入った所でした。 駐車場の斜面いっぱいに色とりどりに美しく咲いていて、楽しめました。 来てみて良かったです✨👍😃

(Translated by Google) There is a hydrangea garden in the park, where many colorful hydrangeas bloom in June. There's enough parking space. There is also some play equipment, so you can play with your children. There is also a cafe, so you can have lunch or tea time.

(Translated by Google) A friend of mine from Takeyama came to visit, so I went from Fugenji Temple to Murozumi's beach and to the local area. I was surprised to see a large 230-year-old ginkgo tree in the back. Also, the person in charge explained the history of light. I learned a lot and I am grateful. thank you very much. (Original) 岳山の知人が遊びに来られたんで、普賢寺から室積の海辺から郷土に行きました、奥にイチョウの230年の大きな木がありびっくりしましたまた係りの人に光の歴史など説明して頂き大変勉強になりありがたかったです。ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot and it is empty on weekdays. It's amazing that there are records left about the old Murozumi. Also, there is an explanation of Onigawara, so if you like it, I think it's worth going to see it. There is a big tree. According to the curator, it is a female tree that is about 200 years old. There is a male tree at the end, but you can't compare it. There are two stamps in hometown folklore. If you like stamps, feel free to use them. I have Shachihata (red) and stamp (black), and the black ink doesn't stick well (I brought a stamp pad and spare ink) (Original) 駐車場がありますし平日だと空いてます。 昔の室積について記録が残ってるのが凄い、 あと鬼瓦の説明があって好きな人は見に行って損はないと思う。 大木がある。館長さんの話だとメスの木で200年前後らしい。端っこにオスの木があるけど比べたらいけない。 ふるさと伝承にスタンプが2つある。 スタンプ好きな方はご自由に。 シャチハタ(赤)とスタンプ(黒)があってインクの黒が付きが悪いかな(私はスタンプ台と予備のインクを持って行きました)

(Translated by Google) This is a restored building of the Isobe family, which ran a soy sauce shop from the late Edo period to the 1950s. Since the Doll's Festival was being held, there were many doll stands lined up. Here, materials to learn about the history of the port town Murozumi are on display. The reason for one less star is that the location is a little difficult to find. (Original) 江戸時代後期から昭和30年代にかけて醤油屋を営んでいた磯部家を修復したものです。雛祭り開催中とあって沢山のひな壇が並べられていました。ここ、港町室積の歴史を知る資料が展示されています。 星が1つ少ないのは、場所がちょっと分かりにくい。

(Translated by Google) I often pass by when I go to Murozumi, but I never go inside. Next time I would like to go more casually. Maybe something good will happen. It's only after it gets cooler. (Original) よく室積に行った時に通り掛かったリするのですがなかなか中に入っていません。今度はもっと気楽に寄って行ってみたいと思います。何かいい事あるかもね。もっと涼しくなってからですよ。

There are 32 locations, and I went to all of them, passed, and received a prize. It was the best. Please join us.

(Translated by Google) The building itself has a Showa-era retro feel inside and out, and it's a place worth visiting if you're a retro fan. The inside is very clean and has been well kept. The permanent exhibition on the second floor is enough to see once, but it's worth seeing if you come. However, the location makes it difficult to go there unless there are other exhibits on display. The downside is that it's quite far from the nearest bus stop and it's uphill to get there. There are also fewer buses. It's close to the library, so it's a great place to watch sets. (Original) 建物自体は外も中も昭和なレトロな感じで雰囲気が良くレトロ好きなら行く価値はある場所。中は清掃が行き届いているのか大変綺麗。二階にある常設展示は一回見れば十分な感じだが来れば見る価値はある。しかし他の展示があるとき以外はわざわざ行くのは立地が悪くきつい。最寄りのバス停からもかなり遠くて着くまで登り坂なのもマイナス点。バスの本数も少ない。図書館が近いのでセットで見る場所。

(Translated by Google) Although the grounds are small, the main shrine is very well built. The roof is lined with copper plates, and the corners are curved for a cool look. Recently, the eaves of the office building were made of titanium, so I'd like to go see it. (Original) 敷地は狭いですが、本殿はとても立派な造りとなってます。屋根は銅板で一文字葺き、角の方は反り上がってかっこいい。最近では、社務棟の庇をチタンにしたそうで、見に行きたいですね

(Translated by Google) I was able to drive very close to the shrine, so I was able to visit it without having to climb the stairs in the hot weather.

(Translated by Google) I had a stamp written. It seems to be a relatively new shrine. By chance, the priest finished the prayer and I was able to speak with him. The water purifier is protected from crows, but it's heartwarming to see a note written to the crows asking them to use the drinking fountain over there. The private parking lot is right behind us and there is a signboard so it's easy to find. There is also a torii gate in the parking lot. (Original) ご朱印を書いてもらいました。 比較的、新しい神社だそうです。たまたま神主さんが御祈祷を終わらせてお話ができました。 水浄にカラスよけを施してありますがカラスさん宛に水呑場はあちらでお願いしますと書かれてるのがあってほっこりします。 専用駐車場は真後ろにあり看板もあるので分かりやすいかと。駐車場にも鳥居があります。

(Translated by Google) When I was young, I used to play in the shrine grounds and in the woods behind the shrine.
