The Tachibana Clan Archives, which houses one national treasure and half of Fukuoka Prefecture's Important Cultural Properties, is a museum where you can see the daimyo's tools and items from the count's family that have been carefully passed down through the Tachibana clan for about 400 years.

Dates close to the full moon: September 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th

✳︎The moon is fickle. Depending on the weather or clouds, it may hide its appearance.

That's why the moment when it suddenly peeks out will be an unforgettable, special moment.

I'm sure wearing a yukata in September and a kimono in October will also create wonderful memories.
