Sightseeing in port city · Aburatsu! I took a walk around the Horikawa Canal (Nichinan, Miyazaki)

Aburatu was crowded as a harbor port of Obi cedar in Edo period.
Even now the atmosphere is still there.
Cruise ships sometimes stop by…

1.Let’s have a Nichinan local cuisine “Miyazaki chicken”

To the delicious local chicken “Nichinenkan Honkan” recommended by the guest house I stayed.
I always order beer, but this time I ordered “Hyuganatu Sour”.
Hyuganatu is specialty fruit in Miyazaki, it is a kind of citrus.

Teppan-yaki(roasted on a hot plate) of chicken was chewy.

Cabbage and cucumber are part of the service charge.
Let’s eat them with miso(fermented soybean paste).

Lastly I ate yakisoba with chicken.

2.Wander through Retro Aburatu flourished as a port town

Let’s take a walk through the “Horikawa canal” which was created to transport Obi-cedars.
I found a shrine not in the guidebook.

2-1.Horikawa canal

It is the Horikawa Museum which built with Obi-ceders.

I can see the emotional building and I am happy(*￣ー￣*)

This “Horikawa bridge” is made in Meiji and is still active now.

Apart from the Horikawa canal, I headed for “Red Brick Street.”
Such a red brick warehouse seems to have been used as a warehouse of Obi-Sugi.
This area is a residential area where people live.
Let’s see quietly so that it does not disturb the locals.

In the place that passed “Red Brick Road”, there are modern shops.
It is a good place for Aburatu that these old buildings are usually left.

2-2.Ahiratu shrine protected by Sacred tree

I was concerned about the shrine that was on the other side of the Horikawa Bridge, so I decided to visit there.

Passing through the red torii, as I climbed the stairs there was a stone torii.
And there was a sacred tree in the middle of the approach.
Miyazaki shrine are protected by trees.
