Kitakami Peace Memorial Exhibition Hall

The Kitakami Peace Memorial Exhibition Hall, which opened in 2002, displays military mail sent to Minejiro Takahashi, who was a long-time teacher in the Fujine district of Kitakami City, from a student of a soldier from a rural village, as well as wartime materials, guns, and clothing. I am. We hope to accurately convey to future generations the tragic war experiences of young soldiers from rural villages who served in the Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War, and pray for lasting peace in the world.
