See this place is hard to rate. Its an amazing place, with a whole floor dedicated to Hachikou and another for the history of the Akita Inu in general. But it seems that since the construction of the visitor centre near the station its become somewhat neglected. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED this place, it was honestly more interesting and informative than the visitor centre I just wish it had more attention on it, if you come to Odate, its...

Great experience! The museum is located right in front of the station. Inside, there is a shop and an exhibition on Akita’s history (I didn’t know that Shiba Inu is not just a smaller version of Akita!).

There is also a center with Akita dogs, and if you’re lucky, you can see them up close.

The place is foreigner- and...

秋田犬博物館を訪れて、私は日本の誇るべき犬種である秋田犬について、改めて深く知ることができた。この博物館は、単に秋田犬を展示しているだけでなく、その歴史や文化、そして人との深い関わりを伝える場所だった。

建物に入ると、まず目に飛び込んできたのは、受付のデスクの足元で気持ちよさそうに寝そべっている本物の秋田犬たちだ。日によって出勤している頭数は違うようだが、私が行った日は数頭の秋田犬がいて、その愛くるしい姿に心が和んだ。来館者を出迎える看板犬の存在は、この場所の大きな魅力の一つだろう。ただ、このご時世、触れ合うことはできないが、その分、純粋な彼らの姿を眺めることができる。職員の方々も、秋田犬について色々と丁寧に教えてくれ、その温かい秋田弁での対応が、心に染み渡った。

3階にある展示室では、秋田犬の歴史を学ぶことができる。秋田犬にはいくつかの種類や色があること、そして彼らがかつて、人間がヒグマを狩るのを手伝い、家族を守る頼もしい存在であったこと。その忠誠心や勇敢さは、ただの犬を超えた、特別な存在であることを物語っていた。また、展示されている秋田犬の剥製は、その大きさに圧倒された。近所で見る秋田犬よりも二回りも大きく、改めてその迫力に驚かされた。

そして、この博物館で最も感動したのは、忠犬ハチ公に関する展示だ。ハチ公が飼い主を待ち続けたという美談は、幼い頃から知っていたが、写真や当時の記録を目の当たりにすると、その忠実な姿が胸に迫り、思わず涙が出そうになった。秋田犬が持つ深い愛情や忠誠心を、改めて感じさせられた瞬間だった。

その他にも、秋田犬の毛皮や骨、犬種としての歴史や、マタギとの関係、品評会の様子など、知られざる秋田犬の世界を垣間見ることができた。中には、ジオラマで再現された老犬神社の悲話もあり、とても感慨深かった。

外に出ると、博物館のシンボルともいえるハチ公像が迎えてくれた。この像は「望郷のハチ公像」と呼ばれており、左耳が垂れているのが特徴だ。秋田犬の里と合わせて訪れると、より深く秋田犬の魅力を知ることができるだろう。

正直なところ、地方の小さな博物館なので、あまり期待はしていなかった。だが、その展示内容は非常に濃く、秋田犬について知らない人でも十分に楽しめるものだった。入場料は秋田犬の保存活動への寄付と思えば安いものだ。そして、何より本物の秋田犬に会えるというだけで、この場所を...

If you’re after some Akita dog patting or viewing don’t bother, this is a museum dedicated to the existence of Akita dogs and their contributions to the Japanese and global society and their influence. They have dogs behind their counter/office , that’s all there is to a real Akita Ainu.
