Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum

The Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum occupies a brick building that features modern western architectural elements and displays manuscripts, artifacts, and personal belongings of the poet.

The structure, completed in 1910, originally served as the head office of the No. 90 Bank and was designed by architect Tsutomu Yokohama during Japan's modernization period.

The museum exhibits first editions and materials related to both Takuboku Ishikawa and Kenji Miyazawa, two influential writers who developed their literary skills in Morioka.

Visitors can explore the museum free of charge from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last entry at 5:30 PM, except for every second Tuesday.

The facility includes Café Akogare on the first floor, where guests can experience a period setting while enjoying refreshments after viewing the exhibitions.
