Morioka Machiya Story Museum
The sake brewery of the "Former Iwategawa Nataya-cho Factory", where sake was brewed until 2006, was renovated and opened as "Morioka Machiya Monogatari-kan".
Of the four buildings, "Hamato's Sake Brewery" offers visitors a look at the history of the brewery and a video recording of the Showa period. In the "Gashiya" (the space under the eaves between the warehouses), visitors can view exhibits of valuable materials from the old Iwate River, and in the "Main House" there is a general information desk and community space where sightseeing information, art exhibitions, various lectures, and other events are held.
The Taisho-gura, a sake brewery built in the Taisho era, has a "Toki-no Shotengai" on the first floor that sells Morioka's specialties and crafts, gelato, and a coffee shop, while the "Toki-no Exhibition Room" on the second floor is a gallery that regularly holds special exhibitions of art works from Morioka's collection.
