The "Agricultural Education Museum" located in the Faculty of Agriculture, Iwate University, is the former school building of the Morioka Higher Agricultural and Forestry School, built in 1912. Designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, this building is a prime example of Western-style architecture from the late Meiji period and holds significant historical value. Kenji Miyazawa once studied at this school, and his graduation photo and other materials are on display, making it a must-see for Miyazawa fans. While photography is prohibited inside the school building, the beautiful pond and garden are popular photo spots. The lotus flowers blooming in summer and the vibrant autumn foliage are particularly captivating. The museum is surrounded by the sprawling Iwate University Faculty of Agriculture campus, offering a tranquil green space to enjoy. Visit a historical site associated with Miyazawa, admire the architectural beauty of the Meiji era, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the expansive campus – a truly captivating tourist destination.
