    Yes everything is fake, but a very well made fake. I have seen many of the originals in their respective museums, so it is a joy to see them in one place. Parking is not on site, they provide bus to the museum. Price is steep, little discount (no time stamp) buying on line. No guards to watch our every move, so liberating! Restaurant and cafe are well priced (like most of the restaurants in Japan).

    Naruto Whirlpool from the above on the Onaruto Bridge. Originally it was planned for the Shinkansen railroad to be put. After the plan was canceled, it was turned into a Naruto whirlpool viewing spot. A little scary for those with acrophobia, but this really is a good viewing spot for the Naruto Whirlpool. The Bandō prisoner-of-war camp exhibit was fascinating, too. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was performed here the first time in Japan and that is the root of its numerous performances at the end of each year.

    By the time we are done with boat ride, the whirlpools have gotten smaller as we stopped for lunch.
    It is a 10 min walk from observatory to beginning of bridge. It is another 10-15 min to viewing platform.
    Entrance fee includes a beautiful post card.

    This is a pretty area and the water flow at tide change as well as the spectacular Onaruto Bridge makes this place worth of a visit. Be sure to check time change times for the best water flow. The rush of water from the higher side to low is quite spectacular and does include whirlpools for which it is famous but the water flow at the ends over the rocks is equally spectacular as are boats passing through the channel.

    This shrine complex is very expansive, and tucked into the mountains, so is a nice place to walk around....there is even a stream running through the grounds. We went on New Year's Day, and it was PACKED with visitors, but extremely festive with food and gift stalls set up along the paths. The shrine itself is very photogenic, as is a 1000 year old tree planted in front of it. Definitely one of the more beautiful shrines we have visited in Shikoku.

    Actually, the main purpose is to take a view of the bridge, I think one of the most beautiful and also to walk to the centre of the bridge to take a look at the whirlpool.You need to buy ticket to enter and walk to the centre of the bridge. And to go from Takamatsu station, you need to take the local train to Naruto Station, then walk to the opposite Naruto JR station to Naruto bus station. Then take the bus to Naruto Koen (Naruto park), please get the bus schedule from the Tourist information counter (is on the left of Naruto JR station). To return to Naruto JR station, you have to use the same bus (please check the time table).

    This is the first temple on the 88-temple Shikoku pilgrimage, and is well worth a visit, even if you do not plan on doing the entire trek. The temple grounds are fairly small, but beautifully landscaped with a koi pond in the middle. This is the place to go for all of your "o-henro goods," or supplies for the pilgrimage, from white clothes to walking stick, prayer beads to maps of the temples.

    If you like beautiful scenery and enjoy going for a drive then you must visit the Naruto Skyline. In a sports car or motorcycle this would be even more thrilling as there are a lot of elevation changes and many turns. Nice views of the ocean are everywhere you look.

    「バルトの楽園(日本2006年)」という映画を見ていたので、その実話の資料となる展示物に触れるのは、とてもいい体験となりました。それでも、なぜドイツ兵が日本に捕虜として連れられたのか、今回改めて学んで驚きました。当時は日本の各地に捕虜収容施設があったようですが、ここまで地元の人と仲良く共存し、自治を尊重された施設は珍しかったのではないでしょうか。たぶん、捕虜と言うと悲しいエピソードが多かったからこそ、この坂東捕虜収容所の歴史が際立ったのだと思いますが、こういう美談もあったのだとすると、日本人として救われた気分になります。展示物を1つずつじっくりと見ていくととても勉強になり、また、自分の無知に反省します。欲を言うと、少しにぎやかさが欲しかったかな。ドイツのグッズなどを売るお店やドイツビールが飲めるスタンドとか、何かライブ感のあるお店なんかがあったらもっとステキなんだけど。でも、建物が美しく、周りの緑もさわやかなので、季節がよければ散策にもいい場所だと思います。隣接する道の駅「第九の里」の物産館は、板東俘虜収容所で実際に兵舎として使われていた建物だそうです。
    If you want to know and study a heartwarming story held in Tokushima, Japan just after the end of World War I, it's a good place to visit. That time, there were several POW camps in Japan to keep Germans captured in Tsingtao, China which Japan took over from Germany to occupy. One of them was Bando Camp, which is the reason why The Naruto German House was build. It was an exceptionally good camp for those captives because the general manager Toyohisa Matsue tried his best to offer comfortable environment as much as possible. They enjoyed their lives by making vegetables, building furnitures, publishing newspaper, playing music and so on. They also had good relations with local Japanese, and they helped to enrich their lives by teaching advanced German culture. The Naruto German House is the evidence that human beings can show conscience even in the time of depression.

    The Daishido and Hondo can be reached via stone stairs. Do not miss the centuries old camphor tree and the small "wishing" jizo placed outside the Hondo. Lovely temple set up right at the foothills of a mountain. The people in the nokyocho office were very helpful with giving directions to the next temple.
