Motojinya

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum
This cultural exchange facility was built in 1996 in Mashike-cho. Motojinya was built as a northern guard post lodge in 1855 for the Akita clan. Present-day Mashike-cho's Eiju-cho is on site of Motojinya, and is the reason why it is a sightseeing spot. In addition to the local history room, there is also a library, conference room and multipurpose gallery, and it is a place providing lifelong learning and cultural information. In the exhibition room, part of the Akita clan's Motojinya building has been restored, and you can hear samurai conversations when you enter it. There are also armor replicas that you can try on to get the feeling of being a samurai.

    旧増毛駅から徒歩10分くらいですが、坂道をのぼらなければなりません。増毛町の郷土資料館といったところでしょう。最初に映像をすすめられ、その後展示を見学。増毛町と秋田藩との関係、鰊漁のこと等初めて知ることが多々ありました。旧商家丸一本間家の入場券を見せると割引があります。

    江戸風建物内は、増毛町の郷土資料室・図書室・多目的ギャラリーを備えた無料ブースと、”元陣屋”紹介関連の有料展示ブースに分かれています。有料ブースでは見学前に、約10分間の映像鑑賞し、元陣屋と増毛の歴史について予備学習します。元陣屋は幕末、幕府の命により、南下するロシアに対する西蝦夷地と樺太警護のために、秋田藩が構築したものです。再現されている陣屋の座敷に近付くと突然畳の上の3人の武士たちが会...
