Hayachine and Kenji Museum

A museum that was restored from a former county office, modeled after Kenji Miyazawa’s children’s story “The Cat Office”

The native son of Iwate, author Kenji Miyazawa, wrote many of his children’s stories from his experience on a geological survey on Mt. Hayachine. Valuable documents and a recreation of the accommodations that he had regularly used are on display here.
