    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Dewamachi 3-1
    A history museum located a three minute walk from the Kenrokuen Garden easily identifiable by its eye-catching red brick structure. This building was once used as an armory by the imperial army as well as a facility for the Kanazawa College of Art and has been designated a National Important Cultural Property. As its name indicates, the museum contains exhibits presenting the history and culture of Ishikawa Prefecture, and visitors can trace the eras of the area, from a reconstruction of a Jomon period dog based on excavated bones, to a recreation of a Showa period Japanese living room. The museum also actively engages in a variety of activities, including holding several planned and special exhibitions throughout the year as well as seminars and lectures by curators. In addition, the museum hosts tours of nearby historical sites and temples.

    重要文化財に指定されている金澤陸軍兵器支廠の兵器庫を活用した歴史博物館である。外観こそ往年の古い赤レンガの佇まいを彷彿させるが、館内は新しく整備されている。とは言え館内の全てが現代風に刷新されているわけではなく、往年の洋館の雰囲気を随所に漂わせている。博物館の展示資料だけでなく、建物自体を探検するのも興味深い。 博物館は1階が常設展示室となっており、2階が特別展示室となっている。常設展示と特別展示...

    Located within the Ishikawa Prefectural History Museum grounds in the Dewa Town, Kanazawa City, the Kaga-Honda Museum has around 2,000 precious historical artifacts in its collections, including weapons and armor, old documents, relating to the Honda family, one of the “Hakka” (“eight clans”) families of leading retainers that served the Maeda family (who ruled the Kaga Domain) for generations. The Museum is a marvelous place to learn about the history of the Kaga Domain and about the samurai culture of the Edo period.

    石川県立歴史博物館と同じ、金澤陸軍兵器支廠の兵器庫を活用した博物館で、加賀藩の家老を務めた本多氏の所蔵品が展示されている。 石川県立博物館との共通点として、往年の威容を彷彿させる赤レンガの建物が挙げられるが、内装は異なっており、博物館として刷新され、少なくとも目にした範囲では、石川県立博物館の内部で見られた洋館の面影は感じられない。展示品は古文書や書状が多く、それらの劣化を防ぐためか、石川県立博物...

One of the areas features people requested by Kanazawa City elementary school students, and visitors can learn more about the things they have done and the way they lived. The museum also serves as a base for research concerning the great people of Kanazawa.

    金沢21世紀美術館と市役所との間の道路を道沿いに南下するとあります。その名からわかるように金沢出身の著名人の功績が紹介されています。自分は台湾が好きなので八田與一に目が行きましたが、正直他はあまり知らない人物も多かったです。

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Tobiumecho 3-31

    戦前の暮らしと戦後の暮らしに分かれて展示されており、戦前の様子を学んだり戦後の様子を懐かしむところだ。映像資料もいくつかあり、丁寧にみると面白い。驚いたことはファミコンが展示されており、自分の子どもが小さいときに遊んでいたものが博物館に並べられているとは自分の歳を思い知らされた。2階には体験コーナーもあり、子どもや孫と会話をしながら見学するのも楽しいかも知れない。

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
