Did you know that two of Japan’s most celebrated literary figures spent their youth in Morioka?👀
Poet Takuboku Ishikawa, described by Donald Keene, a scholar of Japanese literature, as “the first modern Japanese,” and Kenji Miyazawa, best known for his work such as Night on the Galactic Railroad, both attended the former Morioka Middle School.💥
The Morioka Takuboku & Kenji Museum introduces the lives and works of these two writers, focusing especially on the years they spent in Morioka during their youth.📝
The museum is housed in the former headquarters building of the 90th Bank🏦 completed in the early 20th century and now designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
The building itself is also well worth a visit.😲 It was designed by the young Morioka-born architect Tsutomu Yokohama, at a time when renowned architect Kingo Tatsuno was also working on another major bank building in Morioka. Their architectural achievements attracted considerable attention in the city.💬💬
Inside the museum, visitors can discover historical materials, rare books, and first editions related to Takuboku and Kenji. Special exhibitions are also held throughout the year.
And there is more to enjoy than literature and architecture‼️
On the first floor, Cafe Akogare offers a relaxing place to enjoy coffee, and occasional concerts are held inside the historic building☕️🎼
Why not spend an afternoon surrounded by literature, music, coffee, and the atmosphere of one of Morioka’s most beautiful historic landmarks?🌌

Introducing the Bank of Iwate Red Brick Building, an iconic symbol of Morioka! 📍

First opened in 1911 as the head office of the Morioka Bank 💴 and in commercial operation until 2012, today this beloved building is open to the public as a local history museum. It’s the sole building in the Tohoku region designed by architect Tatsuno Kingo and his Morioka-born associate Kasai Manji, whose other collaborations include Tokyo Station. 🗼

Its bright red brick facade and deep green roof accents come together in a picture-perfect retro atmosphere, and in the faithfully recreated original bank interior, you can feel the building’s history and culture through exhibits and displays of materials from the period. If you’re visiting Morioka, come and immerse yourself in the nostalgia of the 20th century! ✨

Iwate is famous for its long and dramatic Pacific coastline, forming half of the Michinoku Coastal Trail hiking route. Today we’re showing off one of the most iconic sights along the way: Ofunato’s Goishi Coast! ✨

This beautiful region offers four kilometers of paths along the cliffs, all boasting amazing views of the rocky shore and the electric blue ocean below. Pictured in this post is the Kaminari-iwa (Thunder Rock), named after the huge sound of the waves crashing below it. It’s an incredible place where you can feel the power of nature with your very own eyes and ears 🌊🌊🌊

The Goishi Coast Information Center is just a short 5-minute walk away from the Kaminari-iwa, so come check it out even if you aren’t a big hiker! The region also offers camping and a range of other beautiful sights to make your visit worth the while! 🧭🏕️

📍Hiraizumi Resthouse
🍱Benkei Power Mochi Combo

This cafeteria just across from the entrance of Chuson-ji Temple is serving up southern Iwate’s traditional mochi dishes. And the best part? You can savor 5 types of mochi (red bean, ginger, zunda, nameko mushroom, ozoni soup) at once✨!

Start with the red bean mochi and work your way up to enjoy the alternating sweet and savory flavors, and finish with the refreshing ozoni soup🥢. As you bite into the warm, soft mochi, the aroma of fresh rice fills your senses. 😋

Southern Iwate’s rich mochi culture dates back to the Edo period, and boasts over 300 different regional varieties today! In Hiraizumi and Ichinoseki, mochi is eaten not only during the New Year, but all throughout the year on important occasions.

While you’re visiting Chuson-ji, why not immerse yourself in Hiraizumi’s mochi culture? 🎶

Hidden on a hill overlooking the town of Hiraizumi, Chuson-ji is one of Iwate’s most defining locations: a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a place filled with history, culture and tradition.

The temple complex was first constructed in the 12th century by the Oshu Fujiwara clan as a　representation of the Buddhist Pure Land. While many of the original buildings were destroyed by fires, the complex still contains over 3,000 exquisite Heian-period treasures and important cultural assets. The most famous of those is the Konjikido, a stunning golden hall decorated with intricate maki-e lacquer and inlaid mother of pearl that enshrines the four leaders of the Oshu Fujiwara clan.

Photos of the Konjikido are not allowed, so you’ll need to visit in person to witness its true beauty! While you’re there, take in the tranquility and rich heritage of Chuson-ji, and stop off at the many other historic sites around Hiraizumi to find out more about this fascinating town.

Thinking of visiting Hiraizumi? As one of Iwate’s three UNESCO World Heritage sites, it’s important to learn about the rich history and culture📜 that surrounds it before you go to fully appreciate it. But fear not- the Hiraizumi World Heritage Information Center is here to teach you everything you need to know! 📚

The museum inside takes you back to the late 11th and 12th centuries, when Hiraizumi was founded, flourished under the Oshu Fujiwara clan, and finally fell from grace. A cinematic video room🎥 explains Buddhism and the Pure Land philosophy that became the foundation of Hiraizumi’s culture, and a topographic map illustrates the construction process of the many temples and gardens. 🏯

Other exhibitions include artifacts excavated from the town🏺 and interactive exhibits on the valuable items the Oshu Fujiwara clan traded. You can feel the real weight of a pouch of gold and touch seal skin! 💰

At the reception desk, you can borrow free audio guides in four languages 🗣️ (Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean), and many exhibits also have English explanations. Make this your first stop when coming to Hiraizumi!

The Hachimantai Aspite Line opened on April 15, unveiling the magnificent Snow Corridor❄️
Enormous snow walls towering up to 5 meters tall silently watch over the slowly budding spring of Hachimantai🌸
As you drive through the Snow Corridor, the sheer snow walls overlap at every curve, creating a mysterious sight akin to a gateway to another world🌀
The crisp April sky and sunlight contrast beautifully with the snow.
This year is warmer than previous years, so the snow corridor is melting faster than usual.
If you want to catch this view, now’s your chance!
