THE EXPERIENCE

Learn about demons and local culture on your way back from the snowy mountains.

A museum that collects materials on the theme of demons and introduces local culture such as Kitakami's Onikenbai. This is a good option for adding Kitakami's history and folklore to your mountain trip by preparing a half-day separate from the skiing. The facility is not located in front of a station or adjacent to a ski resort, so please check the city transportation separately. Focusing on indoor tours, it can also be considered as a destination on days when the skiing is shortened due to weather.

Check before visiting/reservation

Check closures/special exhibitions, opening hours, public transportation/taxi, and baggage handling.
