Hachinohe City Museum is a great place to go especially on a rainy weekday. When we went we had the entire museum to ourselves! This museum is divided into four zones. The Archaeological Exhibit Room has displays of utensils used in daily life from the Jomon period (circa 10,000 B.C. - circa 300 B.C.) through the Heian period (794 - 1185). The History Exhibit Room introduces items related to the Nanbu clan found at the Nejo Castle site. The Folk Exhibit Room features references pertaining to the history of Hachinohe's fishing, farming, and business industry as well as traditional art forms of the area. The Intangible Reference Room is where visitors can listen to Hachinohe's folk songs, folk tales, children's songs, and the local dialect.
The Hachinohe International Association’s Volunteer Tour Guides are available for free English tours. To reserve guides for your tour, please contact the museum one week in advance.
