Amazing experience at the aquarium today. The animals were upclose and you can see the tuna and sardines swimming in a school in the tank. There are other outdoor areas that are kids friendly too! Must go if you are in iwaki

This is an absolutely amazing place, the range of animals big and small is great it’s kept very clean and there all well looked after

Absolute must see attraction in Iwaki, a couple hours ride from Fukushima. Well worth the day trip to visit. Beautiful building and large variety of sea species mixed with lots of information and conservation info.

Beautiful facility that provides tranquility to your day. The history surrounding Japan and the sea is vast and very historical.

I’ve visited numerous aquariums across Japan, but Aquamarine Fukushima stands out as truly unique. Unlike others, it doesn’t rely on dolphin, penguin, or sea lion shows, yet it shines in its own distinctive way. The aquarium features a variety of affordable dining options, making it more budget-friendly compared to others. Its exhibits of fish and reptiles are thoughtfully displayed in a park-like setting, where kids can not only observe marine life but also enjoy interactive water play areas.

Aquamarine at Japan northeast … Building is very fantastic architecture… Decorate a beautiful place with various plants, including a variety of marine animals… There is a lovely souvenir shop… But I prefer the outside space…☺️

It's nice in all seasons. In the summer, there is a lively crowd of families playing at the small tide pools outside and you can buy shaved ice. In the winter, it's less lively but still beautiful. Be aware to dress for the weather and don't go on days that are too hot. There are many parts of the aquarium that do not have air conditioning or heating, so remember your coat in the winter and just plain don't go if it is super hot in the summer. It also gets very busy during holidays. We like it here, the tropical fish and octopus are the best.

Not my cup of tea. The fee is 500¥ and you get to see a temple which is OK, but, for me, not much more special than other free temples in Japan. They had some constructions around as well and lake was muddy.

I feel like revisiting and see the wooden statues kept inside. I will stay longer inside this Amidado temple.

In autumn,we can see greatful autumn leaves and emotional shrine,SHIRAMIZUAMIDADO.

Relax place

Namo Shakyamuni Buddha

Sublime place.

(Translated by Google) Visited 10/20/2025 This is Fukushima Prefecture's only National Treasure building. It appears to date from the Heian period, and its overall bright and airy layout exudes natural beauty and soft elegance. It's feminine. It's magnificent. Five Buddha statues are enshrined in the hall. Their appearance reflects the passage of nearly 900 years. These figures have transcended time to sit here. It's moving. (Original) 20251020訪問 国宝建造物として福島県唯一。 平安時代のものらしい、全体的にからりと明るい配置の中に、自然な美しさと柔らかな気品を纏って、建つ。女性的だ。素晴らしい。 お堂には、五体の仏様が安置されている。そのお姿には、900年近い時の流れが顕れている。この方々は時間を超えてここに座す。感動。

Easily one of my favorites as you can find various specimens of dino fossil. Although it is not huge, it is packed with skeletal exhibits. The coal mine museum was a little eerie but also informational about the life of coal workers in Japan.

This is SO COOL!!! Their collection of fossils and coal etc is extensive and creatively presented, and then there's an amazing experience of the history of coal mining, you feel like you really went there and back in time to see first hand what it was like over the decades. SO FUN!!!

A nicely done museum. Allow us to touch some fossils.

Very cool! Just 10 min walk from Yumoto Onsen Station. Even if you don’t understand Japanese, there are plenty of huge fossils and underground coal tunnel exhibits are a bit spooky, but fun.

Amazing experience and interesting exhibition. Loved the coal mine underground display, it felt like a real one.

I was really surprised how good it is and how much they cover. From dinosaurs, outdoor sites, a dark lift down to the mining exhibits etc. Really worth visiting then an onsen bath afterwaeds.

Excited as it was my first time to museum

One of the famous spots in Iwaki city. Nice view of pacific ocean, awesome place. Beach is beautiful too. Good enough spaces for car parking. There’s cycling track nearby, good for walking too.

Beautiful view, not wheelchair accessible as there were many stairs before reaching the lighthouse entrance. 300 yen ticket.

A lovely lighthouse along the seaside....with very nice view. You can take the bus from the city jr station! Around an hour per bus.... you have to walk around 20 minutes from the bus stop to the lighthouse. The entrance fee is not expensive at all.

Amazing view at the top of the lighthouse!

Views from the top are some of the best ocean views I’ve seen in Japan. Awesome spot. Definitely recommend visiting this place and the whole area around it for a day trip.

Wonderful view of the sea, especially on a clear sunny day. The topmost balcony is narrow, for people to stand and stay for a long time, but the view is truly worth a visit. There is no elevator, and there is just a flight of stairs to reach the top (it was a good exercise climbing them though).

Very nice view from top of this lighthouse, à tiny one , beautiful coast is displayed.

Beautiful wide park overlooking the sea. Didn't actually go up the tower but there are ton of observation spots spread out in the area (i.e. observation platform that extends out over the cliff!) so be sure to explore the area and enjoy the sunset.

Excellent views of the port, ocean and the park below.

Place have to visit, Beautiful place and view is awesome.

Best place for finding peace especially sunset .

Nice pamoramatic view.

Beautiful 365view of iwaki harbor.

Okay 👍

Went for Mother's Day lunch and ordered the Mega Kaisendon (Mega Seafood Bowl). It was fabulous! The only downside was the ridiculously complicated parking lot due to construction in the area. Otherwise very nice.

Fish meal is really good...and we watch a festival when we visited

A nice enough place to stop.

Tomato icecream is on sale

Ok ✅

Beautiful place with a lot of facilities

High quality food vender

Beautiful place. Autumn is the best season to visit. Free entrance. No carpark. There is a nearby hot water foot-bath.

spa shrine in spa town...

Relaxing foot onsen.

(Translated by Google) This shrine stands on a hill above the hot spring town. It has a very nice atmosphere. The temizuya (purification fountain) is unusable due to the flowers, so people purify themselves in the hot springs! But it turned out the water was quite hot. I parked in the car park along the road below, but it seems you can also park within the temple grounds. (Original) 温泉街の高台に建つ神社。 とても雰囲気があります。 手水舎が花で使え無いので温泉で清めるって事か！ と思ったらかなりの高温でした。 下の道沿いの駐車場に停めて行きましたが、境内にも停められるようです。

(Translated by Google) I was curious about this shrine when I stayed overnight nearby, so I decided to visit. I just dropped in casually, but I was surprised to learn that it has been enshrined for over 1,300 years!! (I don't do much research beforehand, so I was surprised by this.) The worship hall and main hall are beautiful, and I was able to stroll around and enjoy the views. It was very hot that morning, but the sound of the wind chimes seemed to help ease the heat! By the way, it is lit up at night, and the atmosphere is really nice! (The shrine office is closed at night, as expected.) Parking is along the street. You can also park up the road next to the torii gate. (Original) 近くで一泊したときに気になりお参りに。 気軽に伺ったのですが、何気に御鎮座1300年以上とびっくり!! (私事前にあんまり調べずにお参りするので こういう驚きが～) 拝殿本殿も美しく、ゆっくりと眺めつつ散策出来ました。 この日は朝からとても暑かったのですが、風鈴の音が暑さを和らげてくれるよう でしたね～! ちなみに夜はライトアップされていて、雰囲気とても良いですよ～! (さすがに夜は授与所閉まってます) 駐車場は通り沿いに。あと鳥居脇の道を上がった所に停められる様です。

(Translated by Google) Hot springs are bubbling near the entrance and at the top of the stairs. The temperature is just right, with a faint smell of sulfur. They also sell fortune slips and temple seals. For some reason, this shrine really gets you excited (lol) (Original) 入り口付近と階段を登った辺りに温泉が沸いてます。 温度は適温。かすかに硫黄の匂いがします。 おみくじや御朱印などの販売もあり。 何故かテンションの上がる神社です(笑)

(Translated by Google) This shrine is located in Yumoto Onsen. It is said to be a historic shrine, so I stopped by on a walk while staying in the hot spring town. The stairs leading up to the shrine grounds are lit with lanterns, giving it a charming feel. Even at night, it was quite crowded with people. It's a wonderful shrine, with the soothing sound of wind chimes. (Original) 湯本温泉にある神社。歴史のある神社とのことで温泉街に宿泊の折、散歩がてら立ち寄りました。 境内へ登る階段は提灯で照らされていて風情があります。夜でも結構な人で賑わっていました。風鈴の音が心地良い、素晴らしい神社です。

An educational experience with the family excavating for ammonite fossils. Came across some fossils over 100 million years old. Around about 90 mins in total with a half hour intro (in Japanese, naturally) and then time digging. About right length as quite strenuous on arms. You can take some of your fossils home unless of a certain scale or rarity. Worth doing some research first to learn what to look for, but a fun experience and something different to normal trips out.

Although I don't speak any Japanese I was able to communicate using Google Translate and Google Lens. Google Lens was also helpful to translate all information in the museum. Hopefully they will add English translations at some point which would make it easier for non-Japanese tourists. The excavation was very interesting and I found a tooth of an Enchodus (fish). One photo is after some preparation and the other one as I found it with the tip still covered. The stone is very soft and easy to remove. If you are a fossil enthusiast I can totally recommend Iwaki Ammonite Center even if you don't speak Japanese. But make sure you have a translate app. As I was traveling through Japan with a Japan Rail Pass I walked there from Suetsugi station. It is a nice 60-90 minute walk and you can also pass by the place Futabasaurus was disvovered.

(Translated by Google) We visited after the Iwaki City Coal and Fossil Museum. It's a journey to feel the romance of ancient times. Admission is 260 yen for adults, or 200 yen for JAF members. There are few exhibits, but you can see the observation facility that looks like a mining site. Ammonites are apparently more similar to squids than nautiluses. They seem to focus on fossil excavation experiences, which you can do for just a few hundred yen. There were many women who came, so if you're interested, it's worth going. The man at the reception was a cheerful and interesting man. There was also a 200 yen discount coupon for Abukuma Cave in the museum. I used it at Abukuma Cave. (Original) いわき市石炭・化石館の後に訪問。古代のロマンを感じる旅。入館料は大人260円。JAF会員だと大人200円。展示物は少ないが、採掘現場風な見学施設を見る事が出来る。アンモナイトはオウムガイよりもイカに近いんだそうです。化石発掘体験に力を入れているようで、数百円で出来ます。女性同士でも来ている方も多かったので、興味がある方は行って損は無いと思います。受付のおじさんは明るい面白い方でした。 館内にはあぶくま洞の200円割引券も置いてありました。あぶくま洞で使わせてもらいました。

(Translated by Google) I visited on the weekend and experienced fossil excavation. The facility opened at 9am, but we were able to use the restrooms before then, and I felt that it was a facility that cares about its visitors, with very good service. The person in charge of the orientation for fossil excavation was also very friendly, and the stories he told were so interesting that I was drawn into his content. The excavation experience was also very fun, and time passed by in an instant. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any ammonite or shark tooth fossils, but I was able to find some bivalve fossils, and I was even able to take them home. I was able to learn about fossils and geological strata in addition to the fossil excavation experience, and it was a really good experience. Since I am from outside the prefecture, I cannot experience fossil excavation frequently, but I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for a fun experience. (Original) 週末に訪問し化石発掘体験を行わせて頂きました。９時にオープンだったのですが、その前から館内のトイレを利用させていただけるなど、とてもサービスが良く来場者を大切にしてくださる施設なんだと感じました。 化石発掘のオリエンテーションをしてくださった担当の方も、とても親しみやすく、また、お話が面白くついつい話の内容に引き込まれてしまいました。 発掘体験もとても楽しく、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。残念ながらアンモナイトやサメの歯の化石は見つけることができませんでしたが、二枚貝の化石はしっかりと見つけることができて、さらに自宅に持ち帰ることもできました。 化石発掘体験と共に、化石や地層の事を学ぶことができて、本当に良い体験をさせて頂きました。 県外からの参加なので頻繁には化石発掘体験をするとこはできませんが、また必ず訪問したいと思いました。 楽しい体験をありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) November 25 I tried excavation. The receptionist was very polite. Her stories were fascinating and entertaining. The excavation lasted for one hour, and we could dig as much as we wanted. Some of the participants were veterans known as repeaters. Bivalve fossils were easy to excavate. It was very tiring, and children should be careful when using the chisel. (Original) 25.11 発掘体験しました 受付のマダムが丁寧に対応してくださいました マダムの話が面白く、おもしろかったです。 発掘は1時間で掘り放題です。 体験者の中にはリピーターという名のベテランがいます 二枚貝の化石は 簡単に発掘することができます。 腕が大変疲れますまたお子さんは タガネを打つ際に注意が必要です

(Translated by Google) My family wanted to try out the excavation experience. It was difficult for an amateur with neither the knowledge nor the skills. I went in the morning, but it was very hot, so I wouldn't recommend going in the middle of summer. The facility has a homey atmosphere, and it's a rare place where you can excavate fossils, so I think it will be a great experience. (Original) 家族の希望で体験発掘をしました。 知識も技術もないので素人には難しかったです。 午前の回に行きましたが、とても暑かったので真夏はおすすめしません。 施設はアットホームな雰囲気で、化石を発掘できる貴重な場所なので良い体験になると思います。

(Translated by Google) It's time to head out for the excavation experience. While worrying needlessly about what I'd do if I made a major discovery that would make the newspapers, I participated in the Sunday morning session. Orientation started at 10:00. It was an informative 30 minutes. I haven't heard of the "Cretaceous Period" since high school geology class. We dug deeper. We learned about the formation of the Futaba Formation and how amazing it is. Now, we went outside the building. There, we selected and put on our tools. We then received an on-site explanation. It wasn't easy to do. And then we started. It was already 10:45. It was 11:30. Time flew by. As for our results, we found a gastropod! It's tiny, though. Apparently, we're good at this. We also collected quite a few bivalves. Our top target was ammonite, though I'd like to find at least a shark's tooth. It was an experience that made me decide to come back next time. (Original) 体験発掘に、いざ出陣。 新聞に載るような大発見になったら、 どうしよう、などと要らぬ心配をしながら、 日曜日午前の部に、参加。 10時から、オリエンテーション開始。 為になる、30分でした。 「白亜紀」は、高校の地学以来か、耳にするのは。 更に、深堀り。双葉層の成立ち、凄さが分かりました。 さて、建物の外へ。 そこで、道具を選択、装着。 更に、現場での説明。中々、やれません〜 そして、スタート。既に、10時45分。 11時30まで。あっという間でした。 成果の程は、なんと、巻貝が出たぁ。 ちっさいけど。これでも、優等生らしい。 二枚貝は、結構採れました。 目指したのは、アンモナイトが最上位、 サメの歯　ぐらいは欲しいけど。 次また来るぜ、 決意が生まれた体験となりました。

This park is surprisingly huge and has several great playsets for children. Our 5-year-old loved it and we will definitely be coming here regularly from now on!

Beautiful place when spring

good to play for kids. formerly there were ride attractions…

Good place for Hanami

(Translated by Google) On April 5, 2025, I came to Matsugaoka Park after viewing the weeping cherry blossoms at Mishima Hachiman Shrine. It was before 10:30 on a Saturday morning, so I was able to easily get into the parking lot, but after 11 o'clock it was difficult to park, and before 12 o'clock there was a long line to get to the parking lot. It seems better to come early. This park is loved by locals, and there is play equipment for children in the plaza at the top of the hill. The weather was nice and there were many people having parties under the cherry blossom trees.

Great place to enjoy art

(Translated by Google) It felt like it was closed considering it was an art museum. Perhaps due to a lack of budget, the permanent exhibition space does not hide its age. If this is the first museum you visit, you might end up staying away from museums. (Original) 美術館の割に閉じてる雰囲気だった。 予算が足りないのか常設展の展示スペースも老朽化を隠していない。もし初めて訪れる美術館がここならば美術館というものに近づかない人生になるかもしれない。

Amazing experience at the aquarium today. The animals were upclose and you can see the tuna and sardines swimming in a school in the tank. There are other outdoor areas that are kids friendly too! Must go if you are in iwaki

This is an absolutely amazing place, the range of animals big and small is great it’s kept very clean and there all well looked after

Absolute must see attraction in Iwaki, a couple hours ride from Fukushima. Well worth the day trip to visit. Beautiful building and large variety of sea species mixed with lots of information and conservation info.

Beautiful facility that provides tranquility to your day. The history surrounding Japan and the sea is vast and very historical.

I’ve visited numerous aquariums across Japan, but Aquamarine Fukushima stands out as truly unique. Unlike others, it doesn’t rely on dolphin, penguin, or sea lion shows, yet it shines in its own distinctive way. The aquarium features a variety of affordable dining options, making it more budget-friendly compared to others. Its exhibits of fish and reptiles are thoughtfully displayed in a park-like setting, where kids can not only observe marine life but also enjoy interactive water play areas.

Aquamarine at Japan northeast … Building is very fantastic architecture… Decorate a beautiful place with various plants, including a variety of marine animals… There is a lovely souvenir shop… But I prefer the outside space…☺️

It's nice in all seasons. In the summer, there is a lively crowd of families playing at the small tide pools outside and you can buy shaved ice. In the winter, it's less lively but still beautiful. Be aware to dress for the weather and don't go on days that are too hot. There are many parts of the aquarium that do not have air conditioning or heating, so remember your coat in the winter and just plain don't go if it is super hot in the summer. It also gets very busy during holidays. We like it here, the tropical fish and octopus are the best.

Near my house and very popular place to visit. A must visit if you are in iwaki fukushima.

(Translated by Google) It's close to the hotel, but we got lost and it took us a while to find the shrine. It was founded by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi in 1063, so it has a lot of history. There are many remains from the Oshu War in this area, and this is one of them. It's a pretty big shrine. The sculptures above the main hall were impressive. The mountain gate was also impressive. (Original) ホテルからは近いですが、迷いながらで時間がかかりました。源頼義の勧請のようで、1063年のことで、とても歴史があります。この地域には、奥州合戦の遺構が、たくさんありますが、こちらもその一つでしょう。結構大きな神社です。本殿頭上の彫刻は立派でした。また、山門も立派でした。

(Translated by Google) Hachiman Shrine is located in Hachimankoji, Taira, Iwaki City. One of the most magnificent shrines in Iwaki City. This shrine was built by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi when he went on an expedition to Oshu. The buildings, such as the huge tower gate and main hall, as well as the treasures housed there, are designated cultural properties by the country and Fukushima Prefecture. The approach to the shrine is paved with stones, which gives it a quaint feel. Local people also came to worship. At the awarding office, you can receive hand-written goshuin stamps and wooden goshuin books. There was also a goshuin stamp made in collaboration with the local soccer team Iwaki FC. (Original) いわき市平字八幡小路にある八幡宮。 いわき市内の神社の中でも特に立派なものの1つ。源頼義が奥州遠征に出向いた際に建てた神社です。巨大な楼門や本殿などの建築物に加え納められている宝物などは国や福島県の指定文化財になっています。石が敷き詰められた参道には趣を感じますね。地元の方も参拝に来ていました。 授与所では直書きの御朱印や木の御朱印帳などを頂けます。地元のサッカーチームいわきFCとコラボした御朱印もありました。

(Translated by Google) Ginger scattering (after the Yabusame, fans and ginger are scattered towards worshippers) is a Shinji ritual. It is believed to have been believed since ancient times as a sacred herb that wards off evil spirits, prevents illness, and warms the body.

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekday during the heatwave of summer. The shrine is decorated in a cool and refreshing way, I think the grounds are large for a shrine in the middle of town, but parking might be a bit inconvenient. I received a handwritten goshuin (red seal). (Original) 猛暑の平日伺いました 涼しげに飾られており、涼を演出してくれます 町中の社にしては敷地は大きいと思いますが‥駐車場が、ちょっと不便かもですね 御朱印直書きで頂きました。

(Translated by Google) Even though the shrine office was closed after 4pm, a kind shrine maiden opened it for me and gave me a goshuin. Thank you so much. The shrine building was also magnificent and beautiful. (Original) 16時を超えて社務所が閉まったのに、優しい巫女さんが開けていただき、御朱印をいただけました。本当にありがとうございます。社殿も立派で、素敵でした。

(Translated by Google) An unmanned station on the Banetsu East Line. Opened in 1948 as Eda temporary boarding station. It reopened as a station in 1986. There is no station building, but there is a cute, old waiting room on the platform, which gives you the feel of an unexplored station. There are hardly any private houses around, but there is a lone store below the station that sells ice cream and juice. (Original) 磐越東線の無人駅。昭和23年に江田仮乗降場として開業。昭和62年に駅として改めて営業開始。駅舎はありませんがホーム上に古びた可愛い待合室があり秘境駅感満点。周りに民家はほとんどありませんが駅の下にはポツンと一軒商店がありアイスやジュースが売ってます。

(Translated by Google) A single-track station that looks like it might be a signal station. It gives off the feeling that back in those days, people were taking a breather on the way up the SL. There is a waiting area with a roof, but there is no door so you can't keep out the wind. (Original) 信号場じゃないのかという感じの単線の駅。 SL当時は上る途中で一息入れていたのじゃないかという空気を漂わせている 屋根のある待合所はあるが扉とかはないので吹き付ける風とかはしのげない

(Translated by Google) There is a campground across the road that is open year-round. A male pheasant was walking along the railroad tracks, chirping. In the past, this station was a signal station. There are traces of the lead-in line on the Iwaki Station side. (Original) 道路の向かい側には通年利用可のキャンプ場があります。線路をキジのオスが鳴きながら歩いてました。 昔はこの駅は信号所でした。いわき駅側に引込み線跡があります。

(Translated by Google) Hikyo station is located 3rd station from Iwaki. It is surrounded by mountains and is dotted with private houses. There is a store in front of the station, but it was not open. The old waiting room looked nice, but there were spider webs, so you might want to be careful in the summer. (Original) いわきから3駅目にある秘境駅。周囲は山に囲まれており、民家が点在しています。駅前に商店がありますが、営業していませんでした。 古びた待合室がいい感じでしたが、蜘蛛の巣があるので夏場は注意した方がいいかも知れません。

(Translated by Google) Formerly a temporary platform, it was upgraded to a station in 1987, and the shops in front of the station have long since closed, making it an unmanned station. (Original) 元仮乗降場、1987年に駅に昇格、駅前の商店は閉店して長い、無人駅。

(Translated by Google) This station is known as the unexplored station on the Banetsu Higashi Line, and in front of the station there are a small shop (Asahiya), Natsui River Valley Campsite, and a soba restaurant. There are no toilets at the station, but there is a public toilet in the parking lot along the prefectural road, about 100 meters from the station entrance in the direction of Kawamae Station. Trains were once exchanged at this station, and the remains of the siding track from that time remain in the direction of Kawamae Station. The station facilities include a small waiting room that remains from the days when trains were exchanged, and inside the waiting room there is a wooden table and benches surrounding it. On the table is a station notebook that seems to have been prepared by a local person, preserving the memories of those who visited this station. The station has a very laid-back atmosphere, so we recommend that you get off the train and spend the time waiting for the next train walking around the station, reading the station notes, and making memories. (Original) 磐越東線の秘境駅と呼ばれている駅ですが、駅前には小さなお店（朝日屋）や夏井川渓谷キャンプ場、お蕎麦屋さんなどがあります。 駅にはトイレはありませんが、駅の入り口から川前駅方向に100ｍほど歩いた県道沿いの駐車場に公衆トイレがあります。 かつてこの駅で列車交換が行われていたこともあり川前駅方向に当時の待避線の遺構が残っています。 駅の施設としては列車交換が行われたいた頃から残る小さな待合室があり、待合室の中には木製のテーブルとそれを囲むベンチが置かれています。 テーブルの上には地元の方が用意したと思われる駅ノートが置かれていてこの駅を訪れた方々の思い出が残されています。 とてものんびりとした雰囲気の駅なので途中下車をして次の列車が来るまでの時間、駅周辺を散策したり、駅ノートを読んだり、思い出を残したりして過ごすことをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) This is the nearest station to Natsui River Valley. There aren't many diamonds, but the atmosphere is nice lol (Original) 夏井川渓谷への最寄り駅です。 ダイヤは少ないですが、雰囲気はイイですよw

Very beautiful park. It is big and lots of views and places to relax and its good for family gatherings and even a simple walk together date.

This park is very big and so close to the ocean! There are cats that just live at the park also. Very nice park and it really felt nice to hear the water and have views of the sunset.

Nice view

Fun for a chill day out picnic.

A good lookout from the tower. Decent park with spectacular Ocean views. Good spot to rest when you are passing by town.

Beauty

Beautiful place with greenery and ocean. Cool place for summer.

(Translated by Google) I read poems by Kusano Shinpei in my textbooks as a child and they stayed in my mind, so I went there at the end of my tour of Iwaki City. - You'll need a car to get there - There's a JAF discount. It was 700 yen for two adults. - Filming and recording are prohibited inside the exhibition room. - The weather was nice, so the mountains and houses of Shinpei's hometown looked incredibly beautiful. - In addition to poems, there are also displays of letters addressed to Shinpei, the izakaya-style space that Shinpei ran, and the minerals he collected, so I think this is a great literary museum to get to know the man Kusano Shinpei. (Original) 子どもの頃に教科書で読んだ草野心平の詩がずっと心に残っていたので、いわき市観光の最後に行きました。 ・車移動でないとキビシイです ・JAF割引がききます。大人ふたりで700円でした。 ・展示室の中は撮影録音等は禁止です。 ・お天気が良かったので、心平さんの故郷の山と家並みがめちゃくちゃきれいに見えました。 ・詩だけでなく、心平さん宛のお手紙、心平さんが営んだ居酒屋さん的スペース、集めていた鉱物とかの展示があって、草野心平という人を知るのにとてもよい文学館だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I didn't go inside the memorial hall, but I thought the building was interesting so I visited. The roof of the memorial hall became a promenade, which was an innovative design. I enjoyed the surrounding scenery while walking along the promenade. (Original) 記念館の中には入りませんでしたが建物の作りが面白くて訪れました。 記念館の屋根が遊歩道になっており斬新な作りでした。遊歩道を歩きながら周りの風景を楽しめました。

(Translated by Google) I went to the Tatsuya Miyanishi NEW Wonderland exhibition on July 15th! Mr. Miyanishi was also there! Apparently they will be there until 7/17! I have a lot of books that I used to read when my kids were little, and I read them a lot because I felt nostalgic! I bought a tote bag on the way home! (Original) 7/15に宮西達也NEWワンダーランド展に行ってきました！宮西さんもいらっしゃっていました！7/17までいらっしゃるそうです！子供が小さい頃呼んだ本が沢山あって懐かしくて沢山読んでしまいました！帰りにトートバッグ購入しました！

(Translated by Google) This is a memorial museum that honors Kusano Hei, who introduced Kenji Miyazawa to the world and was himself a rather eccentric avant-garde poet. It was interesting to see how serious he was about creating a replica of the bar he used to run because he couldn't make a living as a poet. (Original) 宮沢賢治を世に紹介し、自身はかなりトガッた前衛詩人でもあった草野心平を顕彰する記念館。 詩人では食えなくて経営してた飲み屋のレプリカとか、大真面目にやってるのが面白かったです。

(Translated by Google) The scenery here is worth seeing. I am impressed with how well the exhibition is done. We will now learn the most important thing about Kusano Nopei. (Original) ここの景観は、一見の価値があります。展示もうまいなぁと感心します。肝心の草野心平さんのことは、これから学びます。
