The Kasugai Local Museum exhibits the flow of history and culture in an easy-to-understand manner, including a restored model of Kai Province's oldest three-storied pagoda, with the theme of ``The Thousand Year Capital of Kai Province, the Thousand Years of Jomon.'' Also on display are valuable documents related to Masako Ogawa, a doctor known for her efforts to help patients with Hansen's disease. Opening hours: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Admission until 4:30 p.m.) Closed on Tuesdays Admission fee: General/University students: 200 yen It is believed that Kasugai-cho was the site of the administrative offices of the ancient Kai Province. 200m south of the facility, you can see the foundation of the three-storied pagoda of Teramoto Haiji Temple. Fuefuki City has many places where you can experience history, such as the Shakado Ruins Museum, Oka-Choshizuka Tumulus, Yamanashi Prefectural Museum, and Shikinai Shrine. The local museum is a valuable place where you can obtain basic information for visiting these places. We recommend that you ask the staff for information about Fuefuki City.

It houses a permanent exhibition that displays excavated items categorized by topic from the Paleolithic period to modern times, and a memorial hall that introduces the early life, footprints, and historical background of Masako Ogawa, who worked to help people suffering from Hansen's disease. . Although it is not a large facility, an hour will pass quickly if you take your time to see both sides. I had only heard of Hansen's disease in social studies, but I learned a lot about the nature of the disease and its prejudices from this exhibit, and it is a topic that I personally would like to investigate further. Admission fee is ¥200 for adults and ¥100 for students under high school age.

It has a total floor area of ​​1,095.45 m² and is a restored model of the three-story pagoda at the entrance. As a local museum, there is one large exhibition room, and as a Masako Ogawa Memorial Museum, there is one narrow exhibition room, and part of the recuperation hut has been relocated. When I thought about it in terms of the local greats corner, there was more exhibition volume than I expected. Considering it's a local museum, it's quite large, so it's more worth seeing than I expected. The parking lot is a little further back. I think there are enough cars if you go on a holiday. The tour should take about 40 minutes.

I visited last month for the first time in 6 years. This is probably my third visit. The purpose is the special exhibition held every August. This special exhibition was called Our Town's August 15th Exhibition this year, and exhibited excerpts from August 15th from the school diary of a nearby school. In addition, there were many interesting items to see, including personal belongings, photographs, and military mail. I'm sorry to make a comparison, but the Atsugi Air Base's ``Common Attack Force Petition Letter'' that I saw last time was on display this time as well. On August 15th, at Atsugi Naval Air Station, Captain Yasuna Kozono, commander of the Atsugi base, called for a full-fledged resistance due to the end of the war. In response to this, here is a letter of concurrence issued by a flight sergeant (still a student at the rank of corporal) of the Sagami Naval Air Corps, which was installed at the Atsugi base. It's a blood test that's worth watching, full of power and tension.

Visited the museum first thing in the morning with a Jomon Goshuin seal. After seeing the Jomon pottery and receiving a stamp, a man wearing a uniform from the opposite building approached me and asked, ``Today is not the opening day of the museum.'' ``No, it's open properly.'' There was a bill and it was open, right?'' I said, but he still approached me, so I said, ``I also received a stamp, right?'' and without replying, I ran inside. I was not feeling well, so I warmed up the bike's engine for a while, and the man from earlier, who was waiting to lock the door, was staring at me. They must have probably figured out the situation inside the building, but they don't seem to have any intention of explaining the situation to me. Do you go out of your way to chase me away? (Closed on Tuesdays), so I stayed the night before and visited on Wednesday, but I'm not sure what happened. That man seems to be a municipal employee, so he must be an employee of Fuefuki City, right? There was a very nice man in the building. Even though the museum was opened by mistake, I was able to get a stamp of the shrine and was able to enjoy looking around the museum. City employees are out. Even a good memorial museum will be ruined.
