Inside, you’ll find exhibits that explain his accomplishments, life, the region, and so on. The second floor contains a study and an area where you can read reproduced materials. The copy of Kumagusu’s resume, written on a roll of 7.8 meter-long-paper in fine print, is a must-see. Entry is free, though entry to the adjoining residence requires a fee.

    Wakayama Pref. Aridagunyuasachou Yuasa 428
    This museum is approximately ten minutes on foot from JR Yuasa Station. It occupies a public bath house founded in the Edo Period (1603–1868) in Shimoshincho, part of Yuasa's Important National Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The current structure was built in the early Meiji Period (1868–1912), and the locals used it for recreation until it closed in 1985. The town restored it after taking over the property, and it maintains the look of years gone past. The bath house has posters from the Showa Period (1926–1989) and old telephones, and the main hall has a collection of donated stage props on display.

    醤油の町湯浅にあるお風呂屋さん。下新町の小道にあり、建物内部が公開されています。お風呂屋さんじたいも興味深いですが、裏の家屋部分も残されていて、資料館になっています。当時の生活様式も知れることができます。

    Wakayama Pref. Hidakagunminabechou Kiyokawa 1267
    "This facility in Minabe Town located in the middle of Wakayama Prefecture showcases the technology, history and culture surrounding binchotan, a high grade of traditional charcoal. Among the most highly produced charcoals in the nation, local Kishu binchotan has a history that reaches back to the Heian period. The museum has a variety of items on display including a xylophone made of binchotan. They sell the charcoal itself, as well as specialty sweets made with it like their “Sumi-aisu"" ice cream. You can also try making wind chimes and bracelets with binchotan if you book ahead. Local elementary schools sometimes visit for field trips too."

    無料で入館でき、備長炭が出来るまでの工程や、その発展の歴史を知ることができます。帰り際、備長炭アイスを買いましたが、炭のジャリジャリ感があり、評価が別れるだろうと思いました。

    Wakayama Pref. Aridashi Minoshima 27 (Arita City Cultural Welfare Center)
    This museum showcases Arida Mandarin Oranges, a variety known throughout Japan. It's located about five minutes on foot from JR Minoshima Station on the fourth floor of the Arida Culture and Welfare Center. The Arida's history goes back to the Muromachi Period (1336–1573), and you can get a sense of its development through the ancient documents and other materials on display. Accessible illustrations and dioramas give visitors a clear picture of the mandarin growing process. Some of the museum has a fitting mandarin themed interior decor.

    久しぶりに訪ねたところ、展示が変わっていました。テレビと椅子が設置されており、リモコンで、興味のあるタイトルを選択すると、その映像が流れるようになっていました。
