    Miyagi Pref. Miyagigunmatsushimamachi Matsushima Fugendou 13-13
    A history museum dedicated to the samurai Date Masamune. The museum's entrance, modeled after the Date clan crest, draws the eye. One of the museum's biggest draws is its lifelike wax models depicting epic moments from Date Masamune's life. Amazingly, Masamune's face as it appears in the museum's exhibits was reconstructed based on the remains of the samurai exhumed during work to rebuild the Date clan mausoleum. Visitors can also try on samurai armor and take a commemorative photo. In the museum cafe, you can enjoy sweets made with zunda mashed boiled green soybeans or a Masamune Parfait topped with a crescent moon-shaped cookie.

    If you are a Date Masamune fan then you must visit I loved Sengoku Basara and this is the place to visit to learn his life plus aftermath There are also statues that are important to people of...

    Miyagi Kesennuma-shi Hajikamisemukai 9-1

    この震災遺構のある気仙沼という街を含めて訪れるべき所です。 この震災遺構の周りは津波で流され何もなくあるのは歪なほど大きな堤防だけです。 気仙沼自体津波で全て流されたのだろうというのが街を回っていると分かります。 そういう意味でも訪れるべき所だと思います あとカジキが美味しい笑 見学時間はちょうど1時間ぐらいでした。

    Miyagi Pref. Osakishi Narukonsen Shitomae 74-2
    The origin of kokeshi wooden dolls is said to have been in Naruko towards the end of the Edo period (1804–1830) when they were made as hot spring souvenirs by woodworkers who carved bowls and trays and this is said to be the oldest production area for these dolls. The museum opened in 1975. It exhibits kokeshi offered up for the National Kokeshi Festival, presents the procedure for making the dolls, demonstrates the spinning lathe and has a wholesale shop that sells the highest number of kokeshi dolls in Naruko. It is around six minutes by car from JR Naruko Onsen Station.

    Was hoping to see more of kokeshi doll in this museum, however, all the descriptions are in Japanese. Overall, the museum looks dated. It was cold inside the museum and only 3 rooms of display...

    榴岡公園の中にある資料館です。民俗資料館ということで明治以降の暮らしを分かりやすく紹介してあります。外観も県内最古の洋風木造建築とのことでなかなかレトロな感じです。時間があれば行ってもいいかなというレベルの場所です。

    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。

    山添喜三郎氏が設計したもので、明治の事務所建築としては珍しいものらしいです。木造の二階建て、白いペンキの寄棟の瓦葺きです。玄関屋根下の白壁には金色の警察紋章が輝いており、貴賓も感じられます。建家内は、明治の警察官の制服や留置場などがあり、興味深いところでした。

    This experience facility at the tip of Karakuwa Peninsula provides visitors with an accessible introduction to the environment and culture of the area through photos, video and more. The center's main draw is its Tsunami Museum. Built after the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, it creates a simulated tsunami experience through images, sound, vibration, and simulated wind. It also displays numerous photographs and video taken by local residents in the aftermath of the disaster.

    若かりし頃一度見学した記憶があり、再訪してみました。 震災後に映像は作り替えられているようですが、設備は昔のまま？ 津波の映像に合わせて、座席がガタガタと揺れたり、風が前方から吹いてきたり、 壁のカーテンが開き、映像が鏡で広げられたりと、懐かしみのある演出。 古くてもそれなりに体験させてもらいました。

    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.

    Miyagi Pref. Tomeshi Toyomamachiteraike Sakurakouji 6
    A history museum located in the Tome-cho neighborhood of Tome City, known as Miyagi Prefecture's Meiji Village due to its many historical buildings. The museum conveys what education was like for a typical Japanese school student from the Meiji to the Taisho periods. The building itself was a real elementary school building in 1888. The school was designed by Kisaburo Yamazoe, the first Japanese person to travel to the west to study architecture. Inside, real desks and chairs from the school's heyday as well as life-sized mannequins show what schooling looked like at the time.

    登米教育資料館は、旧登米高等尋常小学校で、明治の洋風学校を代表する建築物として昭和56年(1981)に重要文化財に指定された非常に貴重な建物です。また、この場所は、連続テレビ小説 おかえりモネ のロケ地 にもなっています。

    センターの淡水魚館は興味の無い旅行者からすると一寸邪魔な施設に感じました。遠くから目立つので、そこの駐車場を利用しようとしましたが、メインの沼にアクセスする駐車場は道路の反対側で目立ちません。そちらには入口の案内看板もないので、迷いました。
