Hachinohe City Museum

Hachinohe City Museum is a city museum in Nejō with multiple exhibition spaces dedicated to archaeology, historical objects, and traditional customs of the region. The collections span artifacts from different periods of the city's development alongside displays of local culture and heritage.

The museum was established in 1983 and documents Hachinohe's development from its earliest settlements to modern times. Its collections tell the city's story through findings and objects spanning different periods.

The Intangible Cultural Properties Gallery presents local festivals, performing arts, and regional music through visual and audio materials. Visitors can experience the everyday traditions and artistic customs that shape community life here.

The museum sits about 15 minutes from JR Hachinohe Station and is easily accessible by public transport. Plan to spend at least 2 hours to explore the various exhibition spaces and understand the collections properly.

The museum offers combination tickets that grant access to both the main building and the neighboring Ne Castle ruins. This makes it possible to connect the museum collections with the historical sites themselves.
