    Ibaraki Pref. Chikuseishi Kou 866-1
    A memorial museum located north of the Shimodate Museum of Art a 10-minute walk from Shimodate Station. The museum presents the life and works of Itaya Hazan, a ceramics artist born in Ibaraki Prefecture who was the first potter to ever be awarded the Order of Culture. Born in Shimodate, Hazan's childhood home is also preserved on the grounds of the museum. Hazan's round down-draft kiln, fed by furnaces on three sides and actually used in his studio in Tabata, Tokyo, has also been relocated to the museum, and visitors can see how Hazan worked and the tools he used. In addition, the museum holds special exhibitions and other events.

    板谷波山氏は大正〜昭和にご活躍の陶芸家。東京の住居作業場が空襲にあって、ここ下館が生地ということで疎開されて窯を開いて制作を続けられた、その旧宅が記念館として解放されています(入館は有料)。作家の作品のいくつかも展示されています。とても上品な器が見られます。

    Ibaraki Pref. Hitachishi Miyatachou 5-2-25
    "A museum memorializing composer Tadashi Yoshida located a seven-minute taxi ride from Hitachi Station on the JR Joban Line. Yoshida created some 2,400 songs, like hits such as ""Kino mo kyo mo,"" the Japan Record Award-winning ""Dare yori mo kimi wo aisu,"" and ""Itsudemo yume wo."" Facilities include exhibits on the composer's life, displays containing the record jackets of his songs, and a video theater. There's also a corner where visitors can try making their own song and a quiet cafe on an upper floor with a view. In addition, visitors can borrow a music player and listen to the composer's hits."

    かねみ公園の頂上展望台に近い駐車場側にあります。入館無料で年中無休、フロア案内にはレコードジャケット展示やパソコンでの作曲体験等ありましたが、展望カフェに直行しました。市内や公園、太平洋も見える眺望良いカフェで、流れてくる懐かしい曲を聴くだけで見学した気分になりました。

    Ibaraki Pref. Ushikushi Jouchuchou 2690-3
    "A memorial museum dedicated to Ogawa Usen located not far from the last stop on the Kanto Railway Bus bound for the Mikazukibashi Shogai Gakushu Center. Usen was a painter and poet who was active from the Meiji to the Showa periods. Usen painted the farmers who lived and worked around him. He also frequently depicted kappa, a mythical water-dwelling creature, and was known as ""Kappa no Usen."" The museum is housed in the home and studio Usen built for himself in his later years and displays reproductions of his paintings as well as items the artist used as part of everyday life. A stone memorial depicting a kappa also stands nearby."

    Ibaraki Tsukubamirai-shi Kamihirayanagi 64

    我が家から、車で20分弱。 国道6号から小貝川沿いに堤防上狭い1.5車線の道を進み、堤防下に下りるとすぐこの記念館がある。建物自身が生家を再建した簡素な木造で、展示品も少ないが、 間宮海峡等樺太探検の歴史的偉業を感じるには十分な記念館であった。

Just a stone’s throw from Tokyo, Ibaraki is a coastal prefecture that has mastered juxtapositions, where old shrines meet new scientific discoveries and traditional gardens are frequented by the inventors of some of the newest technology. Head to Mito City's Kairakuen - one of Japan's Three Great Gardens - in spring to experience the cellestial blooming of fantastic cherry blossoms at the annual sakura festival.
