最近の文化財施設や歴史的建造物は撮影を制限することが減って、寧ろ積極的に撮影を促しSNSなどを利用して広くインターネット上に拡散し、興味のない方々の耳目を集める工夫などを進める所も少なくありません。しかし、こちらの一般公開に対する姿勢は真逆の方向に進んでいます、杉戸板の絵の保護の為にフラッシュ撮影などの制限は理解できますが、薄暗い廊下の先に注意を喚起する物がない小汚い杉戸が重要な物に見えるとは思えないし、寧ろ気付かずに手を触れたり荷物を当てたりされるかもしれない。来館者の為にLED照明などでライトアップして見易くすしたり、注目を集める工夫が全く無かったので記憶に残る杉戸板の絵は一枚も無い。百歩譲って室内の撮影制限を受け入れるとして、室内から庭など外の景色の撮影も一切禁止と言うのは、もはやホスピタリティの欠如、「おもてなし」の精神が欠落してると言わざるを得ません。最近ではどこでも見かけるようになったボランティアガイドさんも押しつけがましく、頼んでもないのにこちらの動きを制限して勝手に話し始める始末、せっかくの素晴らしい庭も監視カメラや何の為に必要なのか不明な金属の箱などが景観を台無しにしてる。兎に角気分を害するだけの訪問で残念でした。佐賀県なのか唐津市なのか分かりませんが、もっと観光とは何かを勉強して頂きたい。（2018/06/20）

At first, I thought "do I really want to see yet another former samurai residence?" But this one was super cool and special, and I really enjoyed it.

If you are in the area, I highly recommend a visit to this gem. It is a former residence of a coal baron. He didn't skimp on the details. In this mansion, there are a family/private wing, a pubic/formal wing, and a public/large capacity wing. There even is a Noh performance space. A volunteer guide (Japanese) took us around the place to meticulously explain the details of the residence. We almost skipped it, but upon a strong recommendation of a local, we went and, boy, am I...

I highly recommend a day trip from to Karatsu from Fukuoka. This historic house was so beautiful and amazing to see. I felt like I was taking a trip back in time. The tour guide was so helpful and spoke wonderful English. She taught us so many things...
