Local R&R nothing much to offers, but a lots friendly locals 👍

Very nice collection of pottery from all around in one place.

good!!

(Translated by Google) We left Fukuoka City at 7am, and arrived in about an hour and a half after passing through the Yagiyama Bypass, which is still free (planned to become a paid route again in 2020). A small roadside station with limited parking space. I bought two Koishiwara-yaki plates. Each pottery has a wide variety on display, and it's fun just looking at them ♪ There are vegetables, bread, and small side dishes, but the Kashiwa onigiri are hard and have no chicken flavor at all, with a soy sauce flavor...I always eat Hakata rice balls. It is far from delicious kashiwa rice (personal impression). Boiled bamboo shoots were being sold at a low price, so when I went to the cash register, I was told that the price had been displayed incorrectly, so I replaced it and paid for it. Feeling unsatisfied, I headed back home...On my way home, I went to Kojiro no Sato in Kama City. I bought eggs and cream puffs at , and the cream puffs were reasonably priced, not too sweet, and delicious♪ (Original) 朝7時に福岡市内を出発、まだ無料の八木山バイパス（令和6年度中には再有料化予定）を抜けて1時間半ほどで到着。駐車スペースも少なくこじんまりとした道の駅。小石原焼きの皿を二枚購入。窯元毎に陳列してあり種類も豊富、見てるだけで楽しくなります♪野菜やパン、ちょっとした惣菜もありますが、かしわおにぎりは固くて鶏の風味が全く無く醤油味、、、いつも食べてる博多の美味しいかしわ飯とはかけ離れた物です（個人的感想）。水煮筍がお安く販売されていたのでレジへ行くと価格表示を間違えていたと言われ貼り替えの上精算、、なんか納得いかない感じで帰路に…帰路途中、嘉麻市にある小次郎の里で卵とシュークリームを購入、シュークリームはお手頃価格で甘さ控えめ、美味しく頂きました♪

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful roadside station. 🌸I stayed in the car during my trip. The toilets are also clean. It's quiet at night too. The parking lot is also spacious. The cherry blossoms are also in full bloom 🌸🌸. I visited last year as well, and as of March 22nd, the cherry blossoms were still in half bloom, and this year they were in full bloom, so I was lucky. I had a really delicious breakfast last year and was looking forward to this year's as well, but unfortunately it was only available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. I entered the store with high expectations because it smelled so good even before it opened. As expected, there are plenty of delicious-looking side dishes. I bought stewed mackerel, chikuzen ni and spicy chicken, rare fried tofu, and omu soba. I'm looking forward to eating it 😊 I'm sure the side dishes will be sold out soon after the store opens 💦 Everyone please come along 😊 (Original) 素晴らしい道の駅です。🌸見の旅、車中泊させていただきました。トイレも綺麗。夜も静か。駐車場も広い。さくらも満開🌸🌸。去年もお邪魔しましたが、3月22日でまだ桜も二分咲、今年は満開、ラッキーでした。去年はとっても美味しい朝食をいただき今年も楽しみにしていましたが、残念ながら土日祝のみになっていました。開店前にとってもいい匂いがしたので期待して入店。予想通り美味しそうな惣菜が満載。鯖の煮付け、筑前煮と鳥ピリ辛、珍しい揚げ豆腐、オムそばを購入。食べるのが楽しみです😊多分開店まもなくお惣菜は売り切れてしまうのでは💦みなさんもぜひどうぞ😊

(Translated by Google) This is a small roadside station in Toho Village, Fukuoka Prefecture, and the parking lot is small, so be careful when parking. (During the period when the pottery market is held, the town hall parking lot becomes a temporary parking lot.) Speaking of Koishiwara, it is Koishiwara-yaki. A variety of dishes were on sale. I don't know if it's expensive or cheap because I have no knowledge of it, but there are so many beautiful plates! There are many potteries in front of the roadside station, so it's a great roadside station for pottery tours. (Original) 福岡県東峰村にある小規模の道の駅で駐車場は狭めなので停める際は注意が必要。 (陶器市がある期間中は役場駐車場も臨時駐車場になるとか) 小石原といえば小石原焼き。 色んなお皿等発売されていました。 私は全く知識がないので高いか安いか分かりませんが綺麗なお皿がズラリ！ 道の駅前にも窯元が沢山ありますので陶器巡りには絶好な道の駅ですね。

(Translated by Google) Although it seems relatively small for a roadside station, it sells a lot of Koishiwara ware, and you can also find recommended potteries, so it is recommended for those visiting the Koishiwara area for the first time. The rest bench inside is also made of Koishiwara ware, making it the perfect roadside station for pottery lovers. (Original) 比較的道の駅の中ではこじんまりしている印象ですが小石原焼が沢山売られており、おすすめ窯元さんも分かるため初めて小石原エリアに来られた方にはおすすめです。 中にある休憩用ベンチも小石原焼になっていたりと焼き物好きには最高な道の駅です。

(Translated by Google) 9/5 I took the BRT Hikoboshi from Hita Station o(^-^)o I was looking forward to participating in the JR walking tour of Hita, Toho Village, Soeda, and Hikoyama. The BRT was very comfortable to ride, and the rice terraces from Daigyoji Station to Chikuzen Iwaya were especially beautiful. Also, it was fun to pass through the long 4km tunnel right from Chikuzen Iwaya o(^-^)o When autumn comes, I will go to see the autumn leaves on Mt. Hikoyama. (Original) 9/5 日田駅発のBRTひこぼしに乗車しましたよ o(^-^)o JRウォーキングに‥日田･東峰村･添田･彦山のウォークを楽しみに 参加してました。 BRTは、乗り心地もよく特に、大行司駅から筑前岩屋への棚田が‥きれいでしたよ。また、筑前岩屋から、すぐ長い4キロ程度のトンネル通過も楽しかったですよo(^-^)o 秋になったら、彦山の紅葉見に‥行きますよ。

(Translated by Google) It was not revived on the railway, but it was revived as the Hikoboshi Line. I'm glad that the station building remains the same. This is the only part of the station platform where the famous Fukuoka and Oita prefectural border is left. It's in disrepair now, but I'd like it to be maintained for tourism and remain there forever. (Original) 鉄道での復活はなりませんでしたか、ひこぼしラインとして復活しました。 駅舎はそのままなのが嬉しいですね。 名物の福岡と大分の県境がある駅ホームは、この部分だけですが残ってました。 今は荒れてますが、観光用に整備して、ずっと残して欲しいですね。

(Translated by Google) As I expected, the area around the station building where the rails were peeled off feels sad. It was a valuable station on the prefectural border, but the flood damage has erased everything. There are many places under construction in front of the station, making it difficult to pass. There will be no dramatic changes, but it will be easier to visit if there is an easy-to-use road for sightseeing. There are tourist attractions near here that do not have border stones or parking lots because of the old border, so it will continue to be a valuable starting point for sightseeing. (Original) 予想はしてたがレールが剥がされた駅舎回りはもの悲しさを感じます。県境の駅として貴重な存在でしたがか水害がすべてを消してしまいましたね。駅前は今工事中の箇所が多くなかなか通り難くなってます。劇的な変貌は無いでしょうが観光の為に使い易い道が出来ると訪れやすくなりますね。この近くには昔の国境って事で国境石とか駐車場が無い観光名所もありますから観光始発点として貴重な存在であり続けるでしょう

(Translated by Google) One of the stations on the now-defunct Hita Hidehikoyama Line. There was a cherry blossom season along the platform, and during the cherry blossom season you could see a beautiful view, but unfortunately, the line has been discontinued and the platform has been removed and there is nothing to see. The station building seems to be active as a base for local activities, and there were artworks on display. It's located across a bridge from a major road, but the station building is an old wooden building, so it's a bit unsightly. It's a shame because if the platform had remained, it would have been even more picturesque. (Original) 今となっては廃線となった日田英彦山線の駅の一つ。 ホーム沿いに桜の期があり、桜の時期には見事な景色が望めたが、廃線のためホームは撤去され見る影もなく残念だ。 駅舎は地域活動の拠点として活躍してるようで、作品展示がされてあった。 大きな道から橋を渡った先にあるが、駅舎が木造の古い建物なため、ややみごたはある。 ホームが残っていれば、もっと風情があっただけに残念だ。

(Translated by Google) I visited Fukui Shrine, which is across the street. The old station building is made of wood and has a very cool and nice feel. It's sad that the line was abandoned due to a disaster. It is rare for a home to cross prefectural borders, Nowadays, buses seem to be transporting people to this place. This area is a really nice place, and Fukui Shrine is also pretty cool, so I highly recommend you go there! (Original) 向かい側にある福井神社を訪れました。 旧駅舎は木造で大変渋く良い感じです、災害のための廃線とは悲しい限りですね、、、 ホームが県境をまたいでいるなんて珍しいし、 現在はこの場所にバスが着て人々を運んでいるようです。 この辺りは本当に良い所です、福井神社も渋いのでぜひ行ってほしいです！

(Translated by Google) The wooden station building has an atmosphere and a sense of cleanliness. This station is unique in that the prefectural border between Toho Village, Fukuoka Prefecture and Hita City, Oita Prefecture runs through the platform. (Original) 雰囲気がありながら清潔感もある木造駅舎。 福岡県東峰村と大分県日田市の県境がホームを通っているというユニークな駅です。

(Translated by Google) This station is on the Hitahikoyama Line and is famous for having a prefectural border on its platform. The station itself is unmanned, and the station building looks like an aged wooden building, but it is actually new. Therefore, we abolished station counters and instead installed wheelchair-accessible restrooms. Even the name Mt. Hoju seems to have a mysterious feel to it. Currently, the line itself is closed due to heavy rains in northern Kyushu, so there are no trains arriving at or departing from the station. I'm torn between continuing or abolishing it, but I can't help but hope for its revival... (Original) 日田彦山線の駅で、ホームに県境があることで有名な駅です。 駅自体は無人駅で、駅舎は年季を感じる木造・・・に見せかけて、実は新しいです。なので駅窓口を廃止して、逆に車いす用トイレを完備していました。 宝珠山という名前にも、なんだか神秘的なものを感じてしまいそうです。 現在は九州北部豪雨の影響で路線自体が不通のため、駅も列車が発着することはありません。存続か廃止かで揺れていますが、復活を願ってやみません・・・。

(Translated by Google) It is attracting attention as a station on the border between Fukuoka and Oita prefectures, but the wooden station building is also a must-see. When you enter the platform, there will be a pole marking the prefectural border. Although the wooden station building appears to have been renovated in modern times, it retains the atmosphere of the Showa era. It's an unmanned station, so you can take a commemorative photo on the platform. (Original) 福岡県と大分県の県境の駅として注目を浴びていますが、木造駅舎も必見。 ホームに入ると、県境を示すポールが立っています。 木造駅舎は現代に改築したものの様ですが、昭和の在りし日の風情を持つものとなっています。 無人駅なので、ホームに入っての記念写真も大丈夫です。

(Translated by Google) A quaint wooden station building ❗️ I wanted to come once lol ❗️ Although it is currently closed, there is a platform and a signboard with the station name remains, so you can see the remnants of when the train was running🎵 You can enter the station building for free, where you can feel nostalgic. There is a bus stop in front of the station, and there is also a parking lot if you come by car❗️You can also use the small park next door and the restroom at the station building, so you can take a short break❗️ It's almost in the mountains, so the air was delicious and the temperature was comfortable, so I had a great break! ️😄 (Original) 風情漂う木造駅舎❗️一度来てみたかった笑❗️ 今は不通になってますがホームがあり駅名の看板も残っており汽車が走ってた時の名残は伺えます🎵 ノスタルジーに浸れる駅舎の中には無料で入れます 駅前には路線バス停もあり、車で来ても大丈夫なよう駐車場もあります❗️隣には小さな公園や駅舎のトイレも使えるのでちょっとした休憩も出来ます❗️ ほぼ山あいにあるので空気も美味しく気温も心地良かったのでとても良い休憩が出来ました‼️😄

(Translated by Google) It was a station I had wanted to visit since it was introduced on a TV location show a few years ago. Unfortunately, it appears to have been suspended due to heavy rains in northern Kyushu last year. The rails are broken in the middle, and it looks like an abandoned station, but it's not every day you get the experience of crossing prefectural borders on the platform ^_^ I hope it recovers as soon as possible. (Original) 数年前テレビのロケ番組で紹介されてから一度訪れたいと思っていた駅でした。残念ながら去年の九州北部豪雨で運休している様子。レールも途中で切れ廃駅のような感じになってますが、プラットホームの上で県境をまたぐ経験はそうそう出来るものではありません^_^ 1日も早い復旧を願っています。

(Translated by Google) I visited because I wanted a rice bowl. At this time, I couldn't buy a bowl because I didn't have a bowl, but I bought several other plates. If there is no one in the store and you want to pay, you press the button and the person in the workshop contacts the lady. After a while, the lady comes and makes the payment. It was good because I had a nice wife and I had plenty of time, but what if I'm a short-tempered person? That's what I thought lol. (Original) 丼茶碗が欲しくて訪問。 この時は丼が無くて買えなかったが他の皿を何枚か購入。 店内には誰も居なくてお支払いする時はボタンを押すと工房の人が奥様に連絡するシステムなのか暫くすると奥様が来てお支払い。 感じの良い奥様とこちらも時間に余裕があったので良かったが気の短い人ならどうなんだろう？とか考えてしまった笑。

(Translated by Google) [201802] This time I bought a shochu cup that is perfect for holding in one hand♪ It is a product that makes use of the material and has a nice texture (^_-)-☆ If you visit the store after a little while, you'll see new items lined up, and you'll want a variety of items. ==★==★==★==★==★==★==★== [201711] We visited the autumn pottery market. I went there 30 minutes before opening, and I was surprised at how many people there were (;'∀') There were so many people that it was hard to fit inside the store. The inside of the store is not that big so it gets very crowded! ! There was a 30 minute wait at the cash register to pay (;´Д｀) You can see how popular it is♪ Since there was a 20% discount, my purse strings got really loose (;´･ω･) ==★==★==★==★==★==★==★== It's been a month since the heavy rains hit Asakura and Koishiwara villages just as I had wanted to visit them for a while. Now that the road has opened, I happened to pass by to check on the situation, but the scars from the heavy rain were still visible, and the store was undergoing restoration work. I was told that the store was open, so I took a look around the store, and since there were many young fans, there were many cute dishes and pottery on display. There weren't many items yet, but I bought some cute utensils. I would like to visit the pottery market again in autumn. (Original) 【201802】今回は片手にちょうど良い焼酎用のコップを購入♪　素材を活かした手触りの良い一品です(^_-)-☆ 少し時間を空けてからお伺いすると、新作が並べてあるため、いろいろと欲しくなります。 ==★==★==★==★==★==★==★== 【201711】秋の陶器市にてお伺いしました。オープンの30分前に行ったのですが、あまりの人の多さにびっくり(;'∀') 店の中に入り切れないくらいの人人人です。店の中もそれほど大きくないため大混雑！！ 支払いのレジも30分待ちでした(;´Д｀) いかに人気があるのかわかりますね♪ ２割引きということもあり、財布の紐がめちゃくちゃ緩んでしまいました(;´･ω･) ==★==★==★==★==★==★==★== 前々からお伺いしたいと思っていた矢先に朝倉や小石原村を襲った大雨から一か月。 道路も開通したことで様子見でふらっと通りがかったのですが、まだ大雨の傷跡が残っており、店の復旧で大変なところでした。 営業中とのことで、店内を見てまわったのですが、若いファンが多いということもあり、かわいい器や陶器がいくつも置いてありました。 まだ、物は少なかったのですが、いくつかのかわいい器を購入。 秋の陶器市にはまた訪れたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) This is a very popular pottery for Koishiwara ware. There are wonderful works of both porcelain and ceramics. During the Folk Pottery Festival, there are times when there are not enough customers to fit into the store. He is a potter with a warm personality. (Original) 小石原焼で、とても人気のある窯元です。 磁器、陶器ともに素敵な作品が並んでいます。 民陶祭ではお店にお客様が入りきれない事も。 暖かいお人柄の窯元さんです。

(Translated by Google) This pottery has a very stylish matte texture. The indescribable brown color is wonderful, and they bring out various dishes from the back. The customer service was also wonderful. I want to go again. (Original) マットな質感がとてもオシャレな窯元さんです。茶色のなんとも言えない色が素敵ですし、奥の方から色々と器を出してきて下さいます。接客も素敵でした。また行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) I was looking for a pasta plate and was able to find one that I liked! (Original) パスタ皿を探していたので、お気に入りの1枚を見つける事ができました！

(Translated by Google) The pottery I wanted to go to! number one 《Omei Pottery》. There were a lot of plates and mugs that I liked. Recently, Starbucks mugs etc. It's famous! (Original) 行きたかった窯元！ナンバーワンの 《翁明窯元》さん。 自分好みの皿、マグがたくさんありました。 最近はスターバックスのマグなどで 有名ですね！

(Translated by Google) Naoyuki Onimaru, a young potter, graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts and has his works in the collection of the Paris Museum of Fine Arts. Mugs for the Starbucks store on the approach to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine have also been created and sold. He has held numerous exhibitions and received awards for his work, most recently receiving an award from Governor Hattori of Fukuoka Prefecture. Not only Tobikanna's pottery, but also the celadon porcelain pieces are wonderful. (Original) 若き陶芸家の鬼丸 尚幸さんは東京芸大卒でパリ美術館に作品が収蔵されてます。また太宰府天満宮の参道のスターバックス店のマグカップも創作され、販売もしてます。数多くの展示会、作品の表彰もされ直近でも福岡県の服部知事からも表彰されてます。とびカンナの陶器だけでなく、青磁器の作品も素晴らしいです。
