The Towada City Folk Museum is shrouded in a silence that seems to have stopped time. This small museum houses numerous historical and cultural heritage items nurtured by the land of Towada. Despite being free to enter, visitors can palpably feel the traces of Towada's long history, from ancient household items to Jomon period pottery and horse equipment.
The museum staff are kind and welcoming to visitors. Those knowledgeable about Towada's history enthusiastically explain the meaning behind each exhibit, providing not just a simple "tour," but a rewarding "learning" opportunity.
Inazo Nitobe, a philosopher and educator from Towada, is highly esteemed, even featured on the current 5000 yen bill. The museum displays related materials about his life and ideology, allowing visitors to delve into the world of this great figure nurtured by Towada.
If you visit Towada, be sure to stop by this folk museum. You will encounter not only the awe-inspiring beauty of nature but also the wisdom and way of life of the people in this area.
