Tagawa Coal and History Museum

The "Chikuho Coal Field Archaeological Site" became a national designated historic site in October 2018. A red brick-style building stands in the Coal Memorial Park, which is maintained at the "Mitsagawa Mining Works Ida Mine Site", which is one of them. The first floor introduces the history of the coal mine and the coal industry, while the second floor displays the coal mine records of Sakuhei Yamamoto, the first in Japan to be listed as a UNESCO World Memory Heritage (Memory of the World). Outside, SL used for coal transportation, large machinery used for digging, etc. are also exhibited, and there is the former Miidagawa Mining Plant Ida Pisan, and the first second chimney (National Register Tangible Cultural Property), which was also sung in the coal mine section. While walking through the park, you can see how it was when it flourished in the coal mine. It takes about one hour.

Teramachi

A town where temples were collected during the Edo period for the defense of Kurume Castle. It is lined with 17 temples, and still retains the features of the Edo period. In each quaint temple there are tombs of many of the predecessors who were active in Kurume. The most well-known people are King Shishi Takayama Hikokuro, the founder of Kurume mochi, Inoue Den, the founder of Kurume Atsuji, Motozo Sakamoto, and the Western painter Harue Koga.

Suiten Palace

Sōhō-gū of Suiten-gū, which is located throughout the country. The beginning was that Ise, who served Emperor Andoku's birth mother, Takakura Taira Nakamiya [Azechi no Tsuboune], enshrined the spirit of the Heike, who had perished in the Battle of Nōnoura, to mourn. It is known as the guardian deity of asanis, child-giving, water-relief, and children.

Fukuju Temple

The temple of Obaku sect in a corner of Adachi Forest Park. The feudal lord, Tadamasa Ogasawara, was erected in Kanbun 5 (1665). It was later vanished by military fire and fire of Chōshū Cavalry at the end of the Tokugawa period. The main hall was rebuilt in Kyoho 2 (1717). Kaesando and others were built after the Meiji era. There is a garden behind the main hall, and the Sesshu Garden, which has natural stones in a borrowed view of Mount Ashitate, is a must. Please note that some of the precincts in the direction of the back mountain are unwatchable.
