    Iwate Pref. Kujishi Kokujichou Dai19chiwari 156-133
    This museum is located in Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture. Among the amber used in jewelry, this is where you can see amber from Kuji, which has the world's oldest deposits. There are exhibits that show the production of amber and artworks using it. With prior reservations, you can also participate in events where you can experience digging amber.

    こちらもあまちゃんで一気に有名になったのではと思います。琥珀採掘を本格的にしたい場合は予約が必要ですが、そうでない場合は館内、坑道の見学、土産物ショッピングができます。世界でも坑道の見学ができるこの場所は珍しいそうです。コウモリ飛び交ってました。琥珀の勉強になりました。 イオンカードで入場料安くなります。

    Iwate Rikuzentakata-shi Otomocho Myoga 1-237
    A museum located a 90-minute drive from the Ichinoseki Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway. The museum is modeled after early Meiji period Kesen homes and was built to pass on the techniques of Kesen carpentry to future generations. The museum was built exclusively with local materials like Kesen cedar wood. The main building is made of wood and modeled after a single story thatch roof family home. Looking up from beyond the irori sunken hearth, visitors can spot Kesen carpentry techniques everywhere, such as three stage beams. There's also a 3.11 Light of Hope eternally lit gas lamp on the grounds which was lit from the 1.17 Light of Hope in Kobe.

    The Kesen carpentry style is unique to the area and unfortunately there are very few carpenters (if any) left to carry on the techniques. Inside the main building with high ceilings is a...

    Iwate Shimohei-gun Yamadamachi Funakoshi Dai7-chiwari 50-1
    The Whale and Ocean Science Museum in Yamada Town is a facility where visitors can learn about the richness of the Sanriku Sea and its natural environment, with a 3D theater, a full-scale model of a 17.6-meter-long sperm whale, and other exhibits that allow visitors to learn more about whales and marine life, creating an atmosphere as if they were walking underwater.

    お盆の雨の中三陸道を走り、山田南ICを降りて直ぐの場所に有ります。山田町のこの科学館も津波被害に遭い、ようやく再オープン出来たのは2017年です。 大人300円で館内は上から下へ続くスロープに展示がなされています。まず、マツコウクジラの実物大模型の迫力に驚くでしょう。また、実際に捕獲されたクジラの骨格標本の大きさを実感する事が出来ます。今回一番の発見は、クジラはカバの進化した動物だったという事です...

    A limestone cave discovered after the Ryusendo Cave–one of Japan's three major caves–in Iwaizumi-cho. In 1967, Ryusendo Cave was discovered during construction to widen a prefectural road. The well-developed cave system and its water course markings have scientific value, and in 1975 it was opened to the public as a science museum. In addition to the stalactites and stalagmites that are still being surveyed, there are abundant traces of pre-modern people. The cave has displays depicting life in the cave, which acted as shelter from the elements. There is also an area of water that looks beautiful when lit up.

Iwate Areas

around-area-map

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.
