The "Folk Exhibition" stands in a lush green park in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture. This small museum exhibits materials related to the historical horse culture of this area. From agricultural horse equipment to riding horse equipment, as well as photos and books, visitors can glimpse the deep bond between horses and people.
Towada has long been known as a horse breeding area, and during the Meiji era, it also became a supplier of military horses. Through the exhibition, one can catch a glimpse of the local people's life alongside horses. Even a model of a stable has been recreated, allowing visitors to glimpse a part of the lifestyle at that time.
The folk exhibition is located in the "Baji Koen" (Horse Park) in the center of Towada City. It is easily accessible by car or train from the city. The park is surrounded by greenery, providing a peaceful atmosphere for strolling. Admission to the exhibition is free, so why not take a brief visit in your spare time and reminisce about the nostalgic horse culture?
