赤穂海浜公園内にあります。公園は広々としていて、まさに海浜公園！わたしは、すばらしい景色と海風の気持ちよさに、年中を通して行きたいな！！と思える場所です。 そこにあるのが、赤穂市立海洋科学館 塩の国。楽しい塩づくり体験や、室内のおもしろい実験装置には大人も子供も魅了されることでしょう。赤穂に行かれたら是非、足を運んでください！ more

忠臣蔵に興味のない人は、ちょっと退屈かも。。。？ しかし、「あこうぱん」のパンは、美味しかった！！ 毎年、12/14の「義士祭」の時は、宿の予約も取れないくらいだが、普段は観光客も殆ど居なく ゆっくりすることができる。 more

兵庫県の西の端岡山県に面した塩の町が赤穂である。漁業と塩の精製で静かな町も今や工業の町に変化した。昭和30年頃までは広大な揚げ浜式塩田が広がり貧しい町だった。近代化した塩の製法ですっかりその景色は変貌したのです。江戸時代、元禄の頃赤穂浪士による討入りが悲しい物語として残っています。城主の敵討ちと吉良邸に討入をした悲しい最後は切腹と云う結末だったのです。今では考えられない行動ですが49名の家族にも辛い物語があったのです。観光と福祉の町となった現代は観光だけでなく多くの分野で発展しています。 more

Destinations of the Day
Honolulu, Hawaii

  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 32,858 TripAdvisor reviews of 463 accommodations, 208 attractions and 1,128 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
Koh Samui, Thailand
  • Resident population: 47,874 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, ecotourism
  • 9,313 TripAdvisor reviews of 435 accommodations, 44 attractions and 76 restaurants
Luxury resorts rub elbows with backpacker accommodations on the Thai island of Ko Samui, a 15-mile-long palm-covered tropical oasis located off the country's east coast.
Innsbruck, Austria

Puerto Morelos, Mexico
  • Resident population: 2,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, nature tours
  • 6,219 TripAdvisor reviews of 99 accommodations, 22 attractions and 27 restaurants
Puerto Morelos, a peaceful village on the Mayan Riviera, offers visitors a glimpse of the real Yucatan. Closer to Cancun airport than Cancun is, Puerto Morelos makes an excellent base for those seeking someplace quieter than glitzy nearby hotspots, Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
Paphos, Cyprus

  • Major features: historic buildings, beaches
  • 9,300 TripAdvisor reviews of 411 accommodations, 21 attractions and 79 restaurants
Paphos, the capital of western Cyprus, has some serious historical clout. Site of the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as a dramatic Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.
