みんな、しばらくぶりじゃの！元気にしておるか？我はといえば相変わらずなのじゃが、なかなか記事を更新できなくてすまないの>< 今回は先日、東京スカイツリータウンを訪れた際に福岡県柳川市のPRブースで柳川市の魅力をご担当者の方に紹介してもらったので、その見聞録をしたためることにしたぞ。
It’s been ages! How have you been?I am energetic as usual.But I apologize for my delay in reporting.This time I write it about Yanagawa City,Fukuoka Prefecture.Because when I went to Tokyo sky tree on business I got the person in charge to tell me about charms of the Yanagawa City.
柳川市は全長930kmの堀の水路が縦横に流れる水の都。その掘割が形成された城下町を川下りで巡ることが出来るぞ。うなぎも名産で蒲焼にしてから蒸す柳川風のせいろ蒸しという独特の味わい方があるそうじゃ。35万本のひまわり畑や名勝・立花氏庭園も見所のひとつ。詩人・北原白秋が愛した柳川の道には300年前と変わらぬ原風景が残されていて、江戸時代の地図を見ても歩けるそうじゃ！
Yanagawa is a city located at the southwest part of Fukuoka Prefecture.There are so long water supply and water for agriculture.The total length is about 930 km.So Yanagawa is called “the city of water”.You can go downstream in a japanese ship.”Seiromushi of eel” is a popular dish in Yanagawa.It is the dish made by steaming rice topped with grilled eel on chopped fried egg in a bamboo steamer.The 350000 sunflowers field and Scenic beauties・Tachibanashi Teien is one of the highlights.Hakushu Kitahara was a poet and an author of fairy story.He loved a Yanagawa’s street in the original Japanese landscape.There haven’t changed since 300 years before.So you can walk around with a map in Japan’s Edo era.
如何じゃったかの？アクセスも良く東京からでもなんと2時間で着くということじゃ。非日常の世界が広がる水の都「柳川市」に是非お越しくださいね！もちろん我も近々参るつもりじゃ(もちろんお目当ては鰻のせいろ蒸しぞ…ボソっ)。
How was it?Yanagawa city is only a two-hour flight from Tokyo.There are huge expanses of the extraordinary in the city of water“Yanagawa”.Please come and see yourself.I will visit there soon too (for “Seiromushi of eel…” ).
