    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。

    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。

    Akita Pref. Ogashi Kitaurashinzan Mizukuisawa 97
    A museum where visitors can experience the folklore of Namahage, ogres which traditionally sit homes in the area on New Year’s to frighten misbehaving children. The museum, housed inside a prototypical magariya-style construction common to the area, stands next to the Namahage Museum, which is dedicated to presenting the history and culture of Namahage. Here visitors can take part in a Namahage folk custom class and experience the custom of Namahage, something otherwise very difficult for visitors to see outside of New Year’s Eve. The museum also displays traditional lifestyle tools and accoutrements used in the area. Be sure the purchase the money-saving joint ticket which grants access both to this museum and the Namahage Museum.

Akita Areas

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.
