bowling3.jpg Today we will show you the rare museum in Hamacho. "Bowling Historical Museum" is located on the third floor of the building just in front of Meijiza. It is a small historical museum with only one room, but for bowling lovers, there are collections of drove.

bowling1.jpg The beginning of bowling in Japan was the Edo period. In 1861, a bowling alley was established in Dejima, Nagasaki. Did you know that? From precious historical materials at that time, valuable historical materials such as magazines, books, and goods are available. The top of the photo is Japan's oldest "wood" bowl used in Dejima, and the bottom is a bowl used by Takeshi Kaneshiro in the drama "Golden Bowl". I want to touch it! (No.)

bowling2.jpg Bowling is a sport and game that can be enjoyed by the whole family. That burn when the ball defeats the pin! A sound. It's a pleasure. It feels like all the stress is blowing away, isn't it? The pin should be made of hard maple wood, a hollow inside is designed to produce a good sound. Surprisingly, there was a delicate mechanism. Even now, bowling is a popular sport, and it seems that many junior classrooms are open. I, too, youth has been revived! I'm going to bowling this weekend!
