Explore Iwate Prefecture’s local crafts “Nanbu Ironware”: Morioka City IWACHU Iwatetsu Museum

#2024Travel Review When traveling to Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, in addition to visiting the natural features and history and culture, there is also a special craft that you should not miss, that is the famous #Southern Ironware. "Nanbu Ironware" refers to the cast iron products produced in Morioka City and Oshu City's Mizusawa District. Because Iwate Prefecture is blessed with high-quality iron ore and exquisite craftsmanship, Nanbu Ironware has become a local specialty and a valuable gift exchanged among celebrities. IWACHU (Iwachu Ironware Museum) is the store I visited this time. It combines a product store and an art display. You can also see the craftsmen polishing and casting process on site. It is really interesting! Cast iron is used in a wide range of applications, from cast iron kettles and cups for making tea to kitchen utensils. You can take one home, and you can get a tax refund if you spend enough! #日本 Northeast Free Travel #Southern Ironware #Iwate県 #Morioka City
