    高校野球ですっかり有名になった金足農業高校のそば、小泉潟に囲まれた場所にある博物館、ひっそりとしています。 今回は企画展、秋田の石っころを見たくて訪問しました。 展示室の中にはいろいろな石が並んでいます。 思った以上に秋田の石の種類の豊富さ珍しさを感じることができました。

    科学的なあれこれを息子に体験させようと訪問。 有料なのでシビアに見てやろうと思っていたが、コンテンツは豊富で飽きずに居られる。動作が微妙な物もあるが、終盤にはでんじろうプロダクションがプロデュースしたコンテンツ群で、楽しい印象でフィニッシュできる。展示室最後のボルダリングは科学ではないと思うが、息子は運動もたっぷりできて満足していたし、定期入場券購入も検討する。

    Akita Akita-shi Tsuchizakiminatonishi 3-10-27

    土崎地区で行われる曳山行事と、ＷＷ2末期の土崎空襲についての展示が行われている資料館です。迫力ある曳山についての展示と、戦争の爪痕。一見無関係にみえる二つの要素が、かつての土崎湊の繁栄という要素において関連していることが感じ取れます。

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
