    Miyagi Pref. Igugunmarumorimachi Machinishi 25
    A museum which conducts a variety of special exhibitions throughout the year. The structure, an old fashioned Japanese estate and kura warehouse, once belonged to Saito Risuke, a wealthy merchant which traded in a wide array of goods from the late Edo period to the early Showa period. The residence and personal effects of Saito were donated to the town, and the town government turned the facility into a museum open to the general public. In 2010, the facility was designated a National Tangible Cultural Property. The museum displays period artwork and also holds exhibits in line with key events such as the Sairi no Hina Matsuri doll festival, the Boy's Day celebration, and the New Year's Day of Sairi. In addition, the museum periodically holds workshops on making silk washi paper and other crafts.

    バイクで近くを通りかかり、観光案内を見て訪問しました。 外から見るより中は広く、昔の豪商の凄さを感じるとともに、この屋敷跡を維持するのは大変な事だと思います。 季節によって展示物が変わるとの話で、リピーターも多いとの事でした。 ここから福島方面(R349)は道路も狭く、車で通行するのは大変ですが阿武隈川沿いの景色は綺麗ですので、また別の季節に訪問したいと思います。

    Miyagi Shiroishi-shi Johokucho 4-18
    A showroom in Johoku Town, Shiroishi City. The Dear Cheap Sweets Floor resembles an old-fashioned sweets shop and has retro goods on display while the Postwar Storehouse Floor shows what life was like during World War 2. In the annex building they have a display on Ichimatsu Dolls and special themed exhibitions.

    I found the entire experience interesting. Nice people there, too! Though, Im not sure if they liked me much, as I overheard the word 馬鹿 often.. Or maybe it was just me.

    大地主さんの家を郷土資料館として無料で公開されています。この地主さんは明治に貿易で財を成し角田でも指折りの地主さんになったみたいです。初代から3代にかけて氏家丈吉を名乗っていたそうです。花がデザインされた陶器のトイレやステンドグラスのある浴室など、当時の生活を垣間見ることができます。

    「山元町歴史民俗資料館」と「ふるさと伝承館」は隣り合っていますが、別の施設です。 最初、それを知らずにふるさと伝承館に入ったところ、管理人さんが一人でいらっしゃって、見学できる場所ではないとのことでした。たとえば町民が伝統工芸などのサークル活動を行うときに借りられる工房だそうです。 一方、歴史民俗資料館は入場料200円で観光客が見学できる施設でした。昔ながらの農具や漁具が展示されており、この地で暮...
