    斜陽館には多くの人が訪れますが、この疎開の家に訪れる人は少ないのではないでしょうか。折角金木に来たのであれば、この疎開の家を訪れて、管長さんの熱い思いを聞かせていただきべきですね。熱く太宰治を語っていただきますので、ついここで執筆された小説２３の内の多くが載っている本２冊を購入しました。 家に帰って思い出しながら読ませていただく楽しみが増えました。

    Aomori Pref. Sannohegunshingoumura Herai Noduki 33-1
    "Approximately a 60-minute drive from JR Hachinohe Station, this historical site is located inside Kirisuto no Sato Park along National Route 454. A description stating ""Jesus, who was crucified on Golgotha Hill, secretly went to Japan"" was found in an old document called the Takeuchi Document in the Kouso Koutai Jingu Shrine in 1935, and it was called the Tomb of Jesus Christ after Takeuchi traveled to Shingo Village himself and discovered it. In the following year, it attracted a lot of attention with the discovery of Christ's will. On the right is Toraizuka with Christ's tomb, and on the left is Judaibo, the tomb of his brother.

    1930年代に怪しげな新興宗教関係者が突然言い出した「キリストの墓」です。近くの資料館も含めてネタとガチの微妙なバランスで成り立っている観光地です。十和田湖観光のついでに話のタネに立ち寄るのが良いかと思います。

    "This monument is located on a hill overlooking Tsugaru Strait. It was erected in honor of Sayuri Ishikawa's hit song, ""Winter Scenery of Tsugaru Straits."" If you push the red button on the front of the wave-shaped design, ""See, the northern reaches of Cape Tappi..."", a portion of verse two of the song, will play. With the combination of the beautiful scenery and the song playing in the background, this monument has become a famous landmark. The song plays so loudly as to even drown out the sound of the crashing waves, so do watch your ears!"

Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
