Hanamaki City Museum

During the Edo period, Hanamaki Castle was located in Hanamaki City as the southern fortress of the Morioka domain, and the castle lord Kita Shosai laid the foundations for the town that continues to this day. It collects materials related to the history and culture of the Hanamaki region, including Hienuki and Waga, and divides them into three categories: ``archaeology,'' ``history,'' and ``arts and crafts,'' and visually displays and explains them in an easy-to-understand manner. We also hold various lectures and experiential learning sessions, aiming to be a participatory museum where you can learn while having fun. The Hanamaki region has produced many of our predecessors, including Kenji Miyazawa. It conveys the local climate and lifestyle that fostered their unique sensibilities and ideas.

Hu Siwang Mountain

Since Kenji Miyazawa wrote in his notebook that this mountain is ``the mountain where you should bury your sutras,'' the Kenji Memorial Hall and Ihatov Hall were built on the same site, which is one of the mountains with which Kenji has the deepest connection. Kenji wrote a poem about Hu Shiwang, and also mentioned Mt. Hu Shiwang in his unfinished literary poem ``The Hill.''
