Absolutely loved this museum, it had so many interactive exhibits as well as a variety of items, history and artistic items. It's one of our favourite museums in the north of Japan so far and it's great for all ages. They also have a small gift shop with a variety of items for all, souvenirs and food and gives a great overview of Morioka, its traditions, history and rulers. If you can only go to one place, it should be here! It's also close to the castle ruins, former bank of Iwate and the rock splitting Chery tree!

Surprisingly good! The first floor is free. There is a cafe, gift shop and some displays where you can learn about the festivals of Morioka. The second floor costs 300 yen and displays the history of Morioka and a special exhibit. Definitely recommend, even if you just watch the videos of life in Morioka in 1923. There isn't a lot of English signage, but I was surprised by the quality of the displays. You can also see a pocket watch and pistol given to the Nambu clan by Queen Victoria for helping some sailors.

Across yet another wonderful garden from the now gone castle grounds this museum was a pleasant surprise on a side trip triggered by lost sunglasses. Some iconic images are available and it is pleasing to see the local community seems keen on castle rebuild per the dedicated exhibit room - always room for one more jo.

A good place to visit once, or if they have a special exhibition.

The first floor is free and showcases events special to Morioka such as Sansa or the Autumn Matsuri.

The second floor costs ¥300 for adults, and has more rooms detailing Iwate/Morioka’s history, as well as the special exhibition.

Enjoy some traditional snacks and gift shop on the lower level. You can also make a candle with images of Morioka’s icons (eg: ishiwarizakura, morioka castle park, wanko...
