Hacchi, Cultural center and museum in Mikkamachi, Japan.
Description
Hacchi is a museum and cultural center in Mikkamachi designed to recreate the streets and alleyways of downtown Hachinohe. The layout combines open spaces with smaller corridors that mirror the character of the surrounding city environment.
History
The center opened in 2011 and was designed by architect Shōichi Haryū with an innovative approach to structure. Its modern design earned it the Good Design Award for how it reinterprets traditional urban forms.
Culture

Practical
The center is located in Mikkamachi and operates most days from morning until evening, except on Tuesdays and during the New Year holiday period. Plan your visit accordingly to ensure you arrive when it is open.
