(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful blue truck on the lawn. A stadium in a peaceful place where swallows fly and the surrounding area is full of cherry blossoms. There is also a rainy track about 30m. Junior high school students outside the city are 300 yen. May Corona settle down and return to your usual routine and enjoy sports without hesitation. (Original) 芝生のきれいなブルートラックです。ツバメが飛んできて周りは桜で一杯でのどかなところにある競技場。雨天走路も30mくらいあります。市外の中学生300円。早くコロナがおさまっていつもの日常に戻ってスポーツを気兼ねなく楽しめる時間が来ますように。

(Translated by Google) The red plum blossoms were beautiful this time of year. It's small, but it's empty so you can relax. The cherry blossoms will be nice from now on too~ (Original) 今の時期は紅梅が綺麗でした。 こじんまりしていますが、空いているのでノンビリ出来ます。 これから桜もいいですね~

(Translated by Google) It seems to have enough facilities for track and field, soccer, and baseball. Since it is under the jurisdiction of the city, the restrooms are clean. I think it would be good for a short walk. (Original) 陸上競技,サッカー,野球と施設としては,十分な感じ。 市の管轄なので,トイレ等も綺麗です。 ちょっとした散歩にも良いかと思います。

These containers is show the mass weight of each planet in our solar system. Try to lift them to see the comparison. Try to visit their website for more information. The city planetarium held a regular viewing schedule from small children, grade schoolers & even for grown ups. This is also a nice place to relax & unwind. You’ll be amazed to see million of stars in the solar system. They offer discount if your living in Shiroi City. The ticket price is affordable. There’s also a museum next to the planetarium. Entrance fee is free.

(Translated by Google) A planetarium that even children can enter. Regularly held 11: 30-for young children, 15: 00-general program. The program for young children is about 40 minutes long and you can talk to your child. It's for young children, but it also introduces the constellations tonight, so even adults can enjoy it. I'm glad that the narration is live. We also have a chick planetarium for babies on an irregular basis, which is ideal for children's emotional education. The admission fee is 350 yen per adult, which is a great deal. The biggest feature is the chartered custom-made plan "your own planetarium". A planetarium can be reserved for 2000 yen for up to 4 people with a reservation required. You can enjoy the starry sky of birthdays and anniversaries with live narration, and if you bring a CD, you can play your favorite music, so the degree of freedom is extremely high. It's a charter so it's okay if your baby cries. The parking lot shared with the city hall is free, but there is no need to worry about it being full. In fact, the garden is a famous place for cherry blossoms and is crowded with cherry blossom viewing visitors in early spring. The park next door is attractive for a little playset and a vast lawn, but since there is no dedicated parking lot, we park at the parking lot of the Cultural Center and walk. For details, see the blog ➡︎ Search for "myhotsecret.net"! (Original) 子供でも入れるプラネタリウム。定期開催は11:30-幼児向け、15:00-一般向けプログラム。幼児向けプログラムは約40分の内容で、子供と話しても大丈夫。幼児向けだが、今夜の星座の紹介などもしっかりしてくれるので大人でも楽しめる。ナレーションが生放送なのも嬉しい。不定期で赤ちゃん向けのひよこプラネタリウムも行っており、子供の情操教育に最適。入場料も大人1人350円と格安でお得。 最大の特徴は貸切オーダーメイドプランの「あなただけのプラネタリウム」。要予約で4名まで2000円でプラネタリウムを貸切できる。誕生日や記念日の星空を生ナレーションで楽しめ、CDを持参すれば好きな音楽も流してくれるなど自由度は極めて高い。貸切なので赤ちゃんが泣いちゃっても大丈夫。 市役所と共通の駐車場は無料だが広く満車の心配はない。実は庭園は桜の名所で春先は花見客で賑わう。 隣の公園はちょっとした遊具と広大な芝生が魅力だが、専用の駐車場がないので、文化センターの駐車場に停めて歩く。 くわしくはブログで ➡︎「myhotsecret.net」で検索!

(Translated by Google) First of all, if you are not good at things like school classes, you can get a good night's sleep. I went to the planetarium in the second half, and learned how to see the Andromeda Nebula, which is the only one that can be seen with the naked eye, and the narrator's voice was harsh and unreasonable. It was cheap, quiet, and fun to watch. (Original) 先ずは、学校の授業みたいなのが苦手な方は良い睡眠を出来るかと。 後半でプラネタリウムに入りましたが、肉眼で唯一見れるアンドロメダ星雲の見方を知った事とナレーションの方の声が耳障り良く無茶苦茶イイ声。 お安く しずかに ゆっくり 楽しく見れました。

(Translated by Google) I came for the museum. It was also a wonderful facility with a venue, library, and plaletarium. The museum was a little lacking in content, which was disappointing. The plaletarium seems to start at 11:30 and 15:00. Free parking. (Original) 資料館目当てにきました。 他にも会場や図書館やプラレタリウムもあって立派な施設でした。 資料館は少し内容薄くて残念でした。 プラレタリウムは11時30分と15時にスタートらしいです。 駐車場無料。

I participated in a program called Platinum Hour where you can listen to nostalgic music. I'm very satisfied with the latest space news. I'm also thankful that it's wallet-friendly at just a few hundred yen. This is my favorite planetarium that I like to visit regularly.

(Translated by Google) It was the first planetarium I went to on my own volition! It's on the 3rd floor of the building! As of 2023, the admission fee is 280 yen for adults living in Shirai city and 350 yen for living outside the city! Tickets will be sold at the counter 30 minutes before the start of the event. The recommended seat seems to be at the back! I couldn't sit because there were no seats available! I went on a weekday, and it seemed like there were a lot of elderly people! When I went there, I was listening to classical music. The woman explained about the stars and constellations, and in between, we enjoyed looking at the stars by season and time while listening to the music! The voice of the woman who explained the explanation was very easy to listen to and was at a professional level! ! The concept seems to change from time to time, so I think it's a good idea to check the website beforehand! It seems like there's jazz as well, so I'm curious. The planetarium is so comfortable that it almost makes me fall asleep (I fell asleep a little!), but I'm glad I went because I learned about stars and constellations ^ ^ (Original) 自分の意思で初めて行ったプラネタリウムでした!建物3階にあります! 観覧料は、2023年現在、大人は、白井市内在住280円、市外在住350円です!開始30分前に、すぐ横の窓口で観覧チケットが販売されるようです。 おすすめの座席は、後方らしいです!私は空いてなかったので、座れませんでした! 平日に行きましたが、ご年配の方が多い印象です! 私が行った際の内容は、クラシック音楽を聴きながらのものでした。 女性の方が、星や星座等の解説をしてくれ、合間合間に音楽と共に季節や時間ごとの星を楽しむといった感じでした!解説してくれた女性の方の声がとても聞きやすく、プロレベルでした!! その時によってコンセプトを変わるみたいなので、事前にホームページ等で確認していくといいと思います!ジャズとかもあるみたいで、気になります。 プラネタリウム心地良くて、寝そうになりますが(私は少し寝ちゃいました!)、星や星座の勉強になりますし、行って良かったです^ ^

(Translated by Google) I've lived in Shirai for over 25 years, but today I stopped by for the first time. Eye-opening. It was great to learn about not only the abacus but also the history of Japanese arithmetic. Why are you here? It seems that he used to hold an abacus school here, but please be sure to ask for directions. This is the only soroban museum in the country. I highly recommend it to everyone. (Original) 白井に25年以上住んでますが、今日初めて寄りました。目から鱗。そろばんだけじゃなく、日本の算術の歴史が知れてとても良かったです。何故ここに?はここでそろばん塾やってたそうです、が、是非案内は付けてもらって下さい。全国でそろばん博物館はここだけ、とのこと。皆さんに是非お勧めです。

(Translated by Google) I think it depends on the day. The curator will explain it perfectly, so I can't recommend it to those who don't like abacus and brain training (lol) On the other hand, if you don't know anything about the abacus, a new path may open up for you. It is possible to take photos inside the building. Let's go (lol) (Original) 日によると思いますが。館長がバッチリ説明してくれるので、そろばんと脳トレが苦手(嫌い)な方にはオススメできません(笑) 逆にそろばんをまったく知らないのであれば、何か新しい道が開かれるかもしれません。 館内撮影可能です。さぁ行ってみよう(笑)

(Translated by Google) When I was thinking of a destination for my fieldwork, I suddenly noticed the Shirai Abacus Museum on Google Maps. Well, even though it was a coincidence, it was an encounter that made me want to thank Google Maps. In conclusion, ⭐️ 5 stars. It's a wonderful space that makes you want to give +A. If you have read this nonsense, I strongly recommend that you go to the site, listen to the director's story, and see the actual thing with your own eyes. Personally, what was eye-opening for me was that the unit of money in the past was 1 ryo = 4 minutes = 16 shu, that is, in 4 bases and 16 bases. Two, there were five earths (lower balls). I see, that's quite reasonable. Calculation in machine language with an abacus... "Everything becomes F" can be done with an abacus (bitter smile) Also, the abacus from the Shinsengumi's Ikedaya Incident (?), and the abacus that was taken to Kyushu as a trophy from the Boshin War, was brought back again during the Seinan War, and I can't help but feel the historical romance. We pray and express our gratitude to the curator, who watches over the Shirai area with a warm gaze through his abacus. (Original) フィールドワークの目的地の考えていた時に、グーグルマップでふと目についた、白井そろばん博物館。いや、偶然とはいえ、グーグルマップに感謝したくなる出会いでした。 結論から言うと星⭐️五つ。+Aを付けたくなる素敵な空間です。この駄文を読まれた方は、ぜひ現地に行って、館長さんのお話を聞きつつ、ご自身の目で実物をご覧になることを、強くお薦めします、はい。 個人的には、目から鱗だったのが、昔のお金の単位が、一両=四分=十六朱、つまり四進法かつ十六進法だったので、天(上のたま)が二つ、地(下のたま)が五つだったということ。なるほど、それなら実に合理的。そろばんでマシン語の計算かぁ…「すべてがFになる」がそろばんで出来るんだぁ(苦笑) また、あの新撰組の池田屋事件の(?)そろばんとか、戊辰戦争の戦利品で九州にもっていかれたそろばんが西南戦争で再度もってこられたとか、歴史ロマンが止まりません。 そろばんを通して、白井の地域をあたたかい眼差しで見守られていらっしゃる館長さんに敬意と感謝を込めて、祈、弥栄。

(Translated by Google) When I visited the neighborhood, I noticed the building so I stopped by. The director was out, so I could not hear any detailed information about the abacus. The museum is well-equipped with exhibits and has good air conditioning. For history buffs, this is a new piece of knowledge. It might be a good idea to look through the materials in the library. (Original) 近所に足を運んだ際、 建物が目に付いたのでふらっと訪問。 館長が外出されていたので そろばんについての詳しい話は伺えませんでしたが 館内は展示品が整備されており、空調も良好。 歴史好きの方には、新たなる1つの知識として 館内の資料に目を通すのも良いかも知れません。

(Translated by Google) Different eras and countries? An abacus is presented. You can touch the exhibits on the first floor, but you are asked not to touch the exhibits on the second floor, so we went there with elementary school students and young children, and there was a lot of pressure on them. Since I am having my child learn the abacus, I wanted to show it to him once, but I was hoping that he would be able to show me the depth and fun of the abacus, but I was disappointed in his response. (Original) 色々な時代やお国?のそろばんが提示されている。一階は、手に触れられるが、2階のも展示品は、触らないで下さいとの事で、小学校と幼児で行ってかなりのプレッシャーをかけられる雰囲気だった。 習い事でそろばん学ばせている為、一度見せたいと思い行ったが、そろばんの深みや楽しさ等、伝えてくれる方と期待したが残念な対応だった。

(Translated by Google) This is an abacus museum located in Shirai City, Chiba Prefecture. Although it's not a large building, there are a variety of abacuses, and we also talked to the museum director. I was very impressed to hear about your thoughts on the abacus. As a commemorative gift, I bought a towel with the museum's name on it. There are Seven Lucky Gods holding an abacus on the grounds and in the building. (Original) 千葉県白井市にあるそろばんの博物館です。大きな建物ではありませんが、いろいろなそろばんがあり、館長さんにもお話を伺いました。そろばんにかける想いをお聞かせいただき大変感銘を覚えました。記念に博物館の名前入りタオルを買いました。敷地、建物にそろばんを持った七福神がいます。

(Translated by Google) I'm not an expert, so I can't comment on the exhibits, but the director casually expressed the feeling that he was playing an active role, never leaving his side for a moment, making it difficult to tour, and saying that he's done with it. I left the museum with an impression. I will never visit the museum again. (Original) 専門外なので展示品にはコメントしようがえりませんが、館長さんが如何にも自分が活躍してる感をさり気なく表現され、片時も傍らを離れず、見学しづらく、もういい、との印象で館を後にしました。二度来館はないですね。

(Translated by Google) I went for the first time in 2 years The parking lot seems to be able to park up to 6 cars, 3 cars sideways in front of the shuttered building. The building has been expanded and is connected on the second floor. It was getting wider ☺️✨It was very beautiful and there were many different abacus exhibits. Even if you touch the abacus on the first floor 🆗👌 The abacus on display on the second floor is not allowed to be touched. I made a handmade abacus🧮 on the second floor! I had to make it so that the beads would stick out a little on the front side, but I made it in the wrong direction. I asked the director to remove the nails and rebuilt it. Make sure to align the top, middle, and bottom horizontal boards! The board under the five beads can be adjusted at the end. You can make it without worrying too much! Thanks to you, I learned that an abacus has front and back sides☺️ I had coffee at the lounge on the second floor☕ the backyard was nice (Original) 2年ぶりに行きました 駐車場はシャッターの建物の前に横向きに3台ずつ6台まで停められるみたい 増築して建物が二階で繋がっていて 広くなっていました ☺️✨凄くきれいで色んなそろばん展示が沢山ありました 1階のそろばんは触っても🆗👌 2階の展示そろばんは触ってはダメなものです 2階で手作りそろばん🧮作りました! 表側に少し珠が出るように作らなくては行けないのに向きを間違え 館長さんに釘を抜いてもらい作り直しました 上、真ん中、下の横板は向きをそろえましょう!五珠の下の板は最後に調節できるので あまり気にせずに作ってよし! おかげでそろばんって表、裏と向きがあるのねとわかりました☺️ 2階のラウンジでコーヒーいただきました☕ 裏庭が素敵でした

(Translated by Google) It is dedicated to schools and has a relatively small number of students (especially on weekdays). In general schools, there are many routines where you go over and over various things, but here you will be taught narrowly and deeply every time.
