Yutoku Inari Shrine ⛩ Kashima City Saga Prefecture 。 。 。 For a sec, I thought I was in Kyoto 😂 This place reminded me of Kiyomizu Dera Temple and of course, Fushimi Inari Shrine ❤ #japan2018 #backpacking #prefecturehopping #kyushu #kyushuregion #experiencejapan #traveljapan #okinawa #fukuoka #oita  #miyazaki #kagoshima #kumamoto #nagasaki #saga #yutokuinarishrine #kashima #fushimiinari #kiyomizudera #kyoto (at Yūtoku Inari Shrine)

If you are interested in Japanese knives, staying at Mura no Kajiya Takumi no Yado in Ōmura, Nagasaki may be the ideal accommodation for you. The area is Matsubara juku which prospered as a major transportation hub during the Edo period and is known as the village of making knives. History has it that a master swordsmith Naminohira Yukiyasu went into hiding in the present day Miyazaki prefecture after the Battle of Dan-no-ura of 1185 where the Clan he worked for was defeated and his descendants moved to Matsubara in 1474. They began to forge swords on the grounds of Hachiman Shrine and also make sickles at the request of the local farmers. Mura no Kajiya Takumi no Yado has Japanese style lodging on the 2nd floor and on the 1st floor is where the 4th generation blacksmith makes Japanese knives. You are able to actually forge your original knife using an anvil and hammer with the help of the owner. Here you will be surrounded by the 500 year tradition. The Matsubara knife is known to be sturdy rough looking knives with a thin edged weighty blade #chefknives #matsubaraknives #ruraljapan #nagasaki #experiencejapan #chefknives #culinary #knives #knife #cutlery #kitchenknives #forged #handforged #cookingtools #couteau #couteaujaponais #coltello https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QG7VbHCOJ/?igshid=y6wsxu5i1clg
