    Aomori Pref. Goshogawarashi Kanagichou Asahiyama 412-1
    Shayokan stands along Prefectural Route 2 in Asahiyama, Kanagi Town, Goshogawara City.

The museum makes use of the residence storehouse as an exhibition space, display some of Dazai’s favorite personal goods, manuscripts, letters, and his first edition books.

    I grew up in Aomori but it was my first visit to his birth place. I could imagine this place looked like a modern castle surrounded by rice fields, nothing to obscure the views from this third story...

    Aomori Pref. Hirosakishi Motonagamachi 26
    Located southeast of Hirosaki Castle, the Aomori Bank Memorial Hall is a designated National Important Cultural Property which was originally built in 1904 as the 59th National Bank. A Renaissance-esque Western-style building, with decorative tower at the top, called the “White Palace,” also serves as an observatory. The interior is decorated with old-fashioned gold patterned Japanese leather paper, very few examples of which survive today in Japan, and the windows incorporate features from Japanese earthen warehouse architecture as both an anti-burglary and fireproofing measure. The hall still retains vestiges of the mixture of Japanese and Western styles with which it was designed in the Meiji period.

    The building was formerly a bank and now used as a memorial museum. The architecture is European in style. Quite elegant. Displays focus on the development of Japanese coins/money from the samurai...

    Aomori Pref. Higashitsugarugunsotogahamamachi Minmayatatsuhama 99
    A museum which uses physical models, informational panels, and videos to document the Seikan Tunnel, the world's longest undersea tunnel at 53.85 kilometers. Visitors can get a taste of what the massive tunnel construction site once felt like in an exhibition space which consists of an actual portion of the original work pit.

    本州の果て竜飛岬にある青函トンネルに関するミュージアムです。一般の展示も青函トンネルの難工事ぶりが伝わってきて良いのですが、体験坑道はさらに良いです。ケーブルカーで地底に降りていく感覚は非日常的で非常に良かったですね。

    現在、耐震強度不足を理由に十和田市から閉館させられていますが、受付で尋ねるととても親切に案内してくださいます。 資料館では十和田の開拓史についての資料や新渡戸稲造氏の直筆の書、イサムノグチが夫人へ贈ったレリーフ等々貴重な品々を見ることができます。これら所蔵品はユネスコの未来遺産に登録もされていますが、十和田市の資料では紹介されていないそうです。新渡戸稲造氏はかつて貴族院議員を務めたり国際的に活躍...

    "This museum exhibits materials related to the novel ""Return to Tsugaru"" by Osamu Dazai, one of the most famous novelists of the Showa era. A statue depicting the final scene stands on the hill where, at the novel's climax, Dazai and his old babysitter Take meet for the first time in 30 years. The museum contains panels with commentary on chronologies and photographs of Dazai Osamu and Take Koshino showing the lead-up to the work, which allow visitors to experience their world. There is also synthesized audio of Dazai's voice and a video theater showing old images of Take and Dazai."

    太宰治の小説「津軽」についての記念館です。同作において、太宰が乳母と再会した場面をモチーフにした銅像があります。太宰好きなら是非。

Several Western-style miniature buildings stand in the facility's garden, and visitors can view them at their leisure from the windows.

    Aomori Misawa-shi Misawa Sabishirotai 116-2955

    5月5日に訪問しました。三沢駅から、無料のバスが、土日祝には出ていますが、本数は多くないので、計画的に動きましょう。 寺山修司の世界に触れることのできるいい施設です。 個人的には、競馬関係の展示好きでした。

Aomori Areas

around-area-map

Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
