- Iwate Pref. Moriokashi Tsunagi Oirino 64-102
- This facility is home to first-rate artisan groups who craft authentic handiworks every day. It consists of the industry revival center, the handi-works square, and the “magariya” zone. The handi-works square offers visitors a chance to craft various Morioka specialty products and hosts events as well, giving people a chance to observe artisans up close and try their hand at making their own items. The local cultural site “Nanbu Magariya” is a must-see as well. It’s about 20 minutes by car from the Morioka Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway.

We visited here on our way back from a local Onsen and it was very interesting. You can see how local cast iron teapots are made, make your own Japanese cookie and purchase handicrafts.

かつては十三代目が南部鉄器の人間国宝で、現在は十五代目です。その十五代目の息子さんが丁寧に説明してくれました。とくに錆させない使用方法について、他のお店とは異なる説明でとても納得しました。 また茶道具ですが可愛らしいデザインのものが多く、十五代目が女性だからでしょうか。 他店の大量生産品とは異なり、完全受注生産とのこと。一つ一つが手作りです。そのため、納品まで一年くらいかかり、価格もややお高いです...

Iwate Areas
A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
