(Translated by Google) It is a wonderful hometown history center. I was deeply moved by the introduction of Jinjiro Matsuda! Shonai is a great farmer. He is also a wonderful person who made the world aware of his respected Professor Kenji Miyazawa! (Original) 素晴らしいふるさと歴史センターです。松田甚次郎氏の紹介に感激致しました!庄内が誇る農業人の偉人です。また尊敬する宮沢賢治先生を世に知らしめた素晴らしい方です!

(Translated by Google) It is a facility with festivals, art, culture, history, and various exhibitions. The underground snow country exhibit is particularly interesting with its overwhelming variety of items and powerful displays. Recommended for those who are tired of ordinary local museums. (Original) お祭り、芸術、文化、歴史と様々な展示のある施設です。 特に地下の雪国展示が圧倒的な品物とパワフルな展示で面白いです。 普通の郷土資料館に飽きた方におすすめです。

(Translated by Google) There were two floats, and local materials are stored in the basement. In the G case of the shop, there are over 100,000 guinomi guinomi of pure gold. (Original) 山車が2つ有ましたね、地下は郷土資料がドッサリと保管されています。 売店のGケースには純金のぐい呑みが10万超えで鎮座しています。

(Translated by Google) It's a fairly large (especially underground) museum. Admission fee is 300 yen, ・History and folklore museum on the second floor ・Reception on the 1st floor, rest area, honorary citizen special memorial room, festival hall, story room ・Agricultural tools, craftsmen's tools, and straw folk tools used in the past on the basement floor ・Tools used at home in the past on the second basement floor there is. The underground volume is amazing. It is full of old folk utensils. (Original) かなり広い(特に地下)博物館です。 入館料300円で、 ・2階に歴史民俗資料館 ・1階に受付・休憩エリア・名誉市民特別記念室・お祭りホール・語りの部屋 ・地下1階に昔使っていた農具・職人道具・藁の民具 ・地下2階に昔家庭で使っていた道具 があります。 地下のボリュームが凄いです。古民具で溢れています。

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 9, 2023. I think it is a very good facility to get an overview of the history and culture of the region. The exhibition featured the Shinjo Festival, folk implements, paintings by local artist Zenjiro Chikaoka, works by Mineshi Okuyama, a blacksmith who is a living national treasure, and Jinjiro Matsuda, who looked up to Kenji Miyazawa as his mentor and worked hard to improve rural areas, as well as the purpose of this event. Adults can view the history and folklore materials exhibition room on the second floor for 300 yen. I think the exhibition is very important, as it was a station house located in this area that utilized the Mogami River's shipping during the Nara and Heian periods. It was also helpful to be able to check the rule of the Shimizu clan, Sakenobu clan, and Hosokawa clan in the Muromachi period before the arrival of the Tozawa clan of the Shinjo domain, and the movements of Yoshiaki Mogami in the Sengoku period. I think people tend to focus on the Tozawa clan's administration, but I felt that other areas were carefully researched and the exhibit was well put together. (Original) 2023年8月9日に拝観しました。 地域の歴史文化を概括するには、大変良い施設だと思います。 新庄祭り、民具、郷土画家近岡善次郎の絵画、人間国宝の鍛金家奥山峰石の作品、宮沢賢治を師と仰いで農村改善運動に邁進した松田甚次郎の展示、そして今回の目的となった2階の歴史民俗資料展示室など、大人300円で観覧できます。 奈良・平安時代に最上川の船運を活用した駅家が、この地に置かれていた展示は、大変重要だと思います。また、新庄藩の戸沢氏が入部して来る以前の室町時代の清水氏・鮭延氏・細川氏の支配、戦国時代の最上義光(よしあき)の動向を確認できて助かりました。 とかく戸沢氏の藩政に目が行きがちだと思いますが、それ以外の部分に丁寧な研究が為されており、よくまとめられた展示になっていると感じました。

(Translated by Google) It was my first visit to Shinjo in several decades. I saw the Shinjo Festival when I was a child...I learned a lot from it. The staff were also very helpful and I was grateful. (Original) 数十年ぶりの新庄への訪問でした。子供の頃にみた新庄祭り…勉強になりました。 スタッフの方も対応良く、ありがたかったです。

(Translated by Google) As an adult, I asked elementary school students about the history of the Shinjo Festival as part of their summer vacation assignment. At first, I tried to show up just for the purpose of the assignment, but the staff gave me a detailed explanation and said, ``There are other events with similar content, so you can use this as a separate assignment for summer vacation.'' He gave me various suggestions such as "Yo," and I had fun learning the content, which included game elements. At the end, we even had a lottery drawing. Thank you for your politeness! If you have any problems, please contact us again m(_ _)m (Original) 大人になり、小学生の子供の夏休みの課題として新庄祭りの歴史についてお伺いさせて頂きました。当初は課題の目的だけでさっさと出てこようとしましたが、職員の方々の丁寧なご説明や「他にこのような内容のイベントもありまして、こちらは別途夏休みの課題としてもお使いになれますよ」など様々なご提案を下さいまして、ゲーム要素もある内容で楽しく学べました。最後にくじ引きまでさせて下さいました。 ご丁寧にありがとうございました！困ったらまたお伺いさせて頂きますm(_ _)m

(Translated by Google) A blissful space for humanities enthusiasts, where you can enjoy an impressive display of floats and a wealth of Meiji to Showa era folk implements at close range. If you are interested in history and folklore, I think you will enjoy it no matter how many times you visit. If I were to place an order, there would only be one. Is the Shinto altar area in the folk implements exhibition room on the second basement floor, especially the altar on the right side facing the main side, properly removed? Something is going wrong though. (Original) 圧巻の山車展示、豊富な明治〜昭和の民具を至近距離でいつまでも楽しめる人文系好きには堪らない至福の空間。 歴史・民俗に興味があるなら何度行っても楽しめると思います。 ただ注文をつけるなら一つだけ。 地下二階民具展示室の神棚エリア、特に大面に向かって右側の神棚ってちゃんと魂抜きとかしてますか？ なんか変なことになってますけど。

(Translated by Google) Floats from the Shinjo Festival are displayed on the 1st floor, history is displayed on the 2nd floor, and folk implements are displayed on the B1F. Apart from the 1st and 2nd floors, the B1F has a great display of folk implements. The sheer number of agricultural tools, household goods, and tools on display is overwhelming. Even if you pay the admission fee of 300 yen (adult), you won't be disappointed. (Original) 1Fに新庄まつりの山車、2Fに歴史、B1Fに民具が展示されている。1F、2Fはともかく、B1Fの民具展示がたいへん。農作業用具やら家庭用品・用具やら、ものすごい数が展示されていて圧倒される。入館料300円（大人）払っても損しない。

This place is truly beautiful.

(Translated by Google) In 2022, the cherry blossoms bloomed and scattered in a blink of an eye, and as of April 25, this was the last time I saw cherry blossoms at a famous cherry blossom spot in Yamagata prefecture. As a cherry blossom viewing spot, it may seem a little small, but in the park, Tozawa Shrine, Tenman Shrine, and Gokoku Shrine are enshrined, and there is a taste of Shinjo Castle ruins such as a moat and a pond. (Original) 2022年は桜が咲くのも散るのもあっという間で、4月25日時点で山形県内の桜の名所で桜が見られたのはここが最後でした。 お花見の名所としては、若干こぢんまりとした感もありますが、公園内には戸沢神社、天満神社、護国神社が祀られ、お堀や池など新庄城址としての趣があります。

(Translated by Google) This castle was the base of the Tozawa family of the Shinjo domain for about 260 years from the beginning of the Edo period to the end of the Edo period. Due to the Boshin War at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and its aftermath, there are almost no traces except for the moat and earthworks. Among the castle ruins is Tozawa Shrine, which enshrines the Tozawa family. There is also a bronze statue of Masamori Tozawa, the founder of the domain, at the entrance of the castle ruins. If you want to go back in time, why not take a walk around the moats and earthworks of the castle ruins? Unless you're a big fan of castles, it might be difficult to enjoy it as a castle. (Original) 新庄藩の戸沢家が江戸時代の始まりから終わりまで約260年間にわたり、拠点とした城郭である。 幕末の戊辰戦争とその事後処理により、堀と土塁以外はほとんど跡形も無くなっている。 その城跡の中には戸沢家を祀る戸沢神社がある。また藩開祖の戸澤政盛の銅像も城跡入口に鎮座している。 古に思いを馳せたいのであれば、城跡の堀の周りや土塁を歩いてみてはどうだろうか。 よほどの城好きでないと、城としての楽しむのは難しいかもしれない。

(Translated by Google) Visited on April 14th. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the weather was perfect. It was a perfect day. There was a walking path that could go around the park, and there were three shrines enshrined there. Along the way, hydrangeas were swollen with new buds. I would like to come again. hey (Original) 4月14日に訪問　桜が満開　天気もよく最高の一日でした　公園をぐるっと一周出来る散策路が有り3つの神社が祀られていました　途中　紫陽花が新芽を膨らませていました　又　来てみたいですね

(Translated by Google) At the back of Mogami Park is the Shinjo Castle Ruins. It is now Tozawa Shrine, and there used to be a castle here. It is a castle built by Masamori Tozawa, the first feudal lord of the Shinjo feudal clan. In 1868, Shinjo Castle was attacked by the Shonai forces, burned down and the castle was abandoned, and the site seems to have been used as the site of the county parliament building. (Original) 最上公園の奥にあるのが新庄城址です。 今は戸澤神社になっており、ここにはかつて城がありました。 新庄藩初代藩主の戸沢政盛が築いた城で、新庄藩は最上郡一円と村山郡の一部、６万石を領したそうです。 １８６８年に新庄城は庄内勢に攻められ、焼失して城は廃され、跡地は郡会議事堂等の敷地として利用されたようです。

(Translated by Google) The highlight is the moat and earthen walls. It doesn't mean that it's as beautiful as it used to be It's relatively easy to understand what the old days were like seems to remain You can park inside the main enclosure (Original) 見所は濠と土塁　門跡 綺麗の昔のままという訳ではありませんが 比較的昔がどんなものかはわかりやすいような感じでは 残っているように思われます 本丸内に駐車できます

(Translated by Google) About 20 minutes walk from Shinjo Station This castle was built by the Tozawa clan after Sekigahara. Although it is a flat castle, the moat and earthworks are well preserved and the castle-like character is clearly visible. However, due to its history of being attacked by the Shonai clan during the Boshin War and going up in flames, there are no turrets or other buildings, only Tozawa Shrine. The castle ruins are not interesting at all for amateurs, but they are recommended for castle lovers and history buffs. (Original) 新庄駅から徒歩約20分 関ヶ原後に戸沢氏によって建てられた城です。 平城ながら堀、土塁がよく残っており城らしさがよくわかります。 しかし、戊辰戦争で庄内藩に攻められ炎上した歴史あって櫓等建築物はなく戸沢神社のみがあります。 素人には全く面白みない城址ですが城好き、歴史好きにはおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) It is now Mogami Park and a place of relaxation for citizens. There are Tozawa Shrine, Gokoku Shrine, Tenma Shrine, hydrangea park, pond, and plaza. A wide moat and earthworks remain. There were many ducks in the moat. (Original) 今は最上公園となり、市民の憩いの場になっています。 戸澤神社・護国神社・天満神社・あじさい公園・池・広場があります。 広い堀と土塁が残っています。 堀にカモがたくさんいました。

(Translated by Google) I visited Shinjo Castle. Examination students are visiting Tozawa Shrine, I thought it was a shrine that was loved by locals ☺️ (Original) 新庄城趾に伺いました。 戸澤神社には受験生が参拝しており、 地元民に親しまれている神社だと思いました☺️

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in a while on August 9, 2023. Kyokomori, the founder of the Tozawa clan, moved to what is now Tozawa, Shizukuishi-cho, Iwate Prefecture (Tepishisho Tozawa Village) around the time of the Genpei War. He took part in the Battle of Oshu, was recognized by Minamoto no Yoritomo, and became the head of the land and a retainer. He took the name of his territory and became Tozawa Hiramori. From here, Mr. Tozawa arose. Under pressure from the Nanbu clan, he moved his base to Saimyoji Temple (Oyamada Castle?) in Nishikimura, Akita Prefecture, then moved to Kadoya in 1220, and built Kadoya Castle in 1228. According to ancient documents, it moved its headquarters to Kakunodate in 1423, 30th year of the Oei era. According to recent research, it is believed that it entered Kakunodate around 1468 during the Bunmei era. During the Battle of Sekigahara, he sided with the Tokugawa side and fought against the Uesugi army. Due to his military achievements, he was transferred to Matsuoka, Hitachi Province. In 1622, the Mogami clan expanded the territory and moved it to Shinjo. First, we entered Salmonnobu Castle, which remains in present-day Mamurogawa Town. In 1625, the first lord of Shinjo, Masamori Tozawa, built Shinjo Castle. In 1636, the castle tower was destroyed by fire. As it was, the castle tower was never rebuilt. During the Boshin War in 1868, the 4th year of the Keio era, the Shinjo domain, in line with the Akita domain, seceded from the Ou-etsu clan alliance and turned to the new government. As a result, the castle was invaded by the Shonai clan, and the castle town was reduced to ashes. It is said that Mr. Tozawa relied on Mr. Satake and fled to Akita. I remember walking in the moat here on the night of the Shinjo Festival when I was in high school. It's a nostalgic place. (Original) 2023年8月9日に久しぶりに訪れました。 戸沢氏の始祖である平衡盛は、源平合戦の頃に現在の岩手県雫石町戸沢(滴石荘戸沢邑)に下向します。奥州合戦に参陣して源頼朝に認められ、その地の地頭となり、御家人になりました。所領の地名を名乗り、戸沢衡盛となります。ここから、戸沢氏が起こりました。 南部氏からの圧迫を受け、秋田県西木村西明寺(小山田城か?)に本拠地を移し、1220年に門屋へ移り、門屋城を1228年に築城しました。 古文書では、応永30年1423年に角館へ本拠地を移したとあります。最近の研究調査では、文明年間1468年頃以降に角館に入ったと考えられています。 関ヶ原の戦いの頃は、徳川方に付き、上杉軍と戦いました。その戦功から常陸国松岡へ転封されました。 元和8年1622年に最上氏の改易により、加増されて新庄へ移封されます。最初は、今の真室川町に残る鮭延城へ入りました。寛永2年1625年に初代新庄藩主戸沢政盛が、新庄城を築城しました。寛永13年1636年の火災で天守櫓は焼失しました。そのまま、天守は再建されませんでした。 慶応4年1868年の戊辰戦争では、秋田藩の動きに同調して新庄藩も奥羽越列藩同盟から離脱し、新政府側に方向転換しました。そのため、庄内藩から攻め入られ、城下は灰燼となりました。戸沢氏は、佐竹氏を頼って秋田へ逃れたそうです。 高校時代に新庄祭の夜、ここのお堀を歩いたことを思い出しました。懐かしい場所です。

(Translated by Google) This is the residence of the Tozawa clan, who became the lord of the Shinjo domain with 60,000 koku of land after the Mogami clan was transferred. The Tozawa clan was a Sengoku feudal lord based in Kakunodate, but due to various reasons, they became treated as a branch of the Torii clan, a prestigious family of the Tokugawa clan, and after the Mogami clan transferred, they became the lord of the Shinjo domain with a 60,000 koku lord. It fit in. During the Boshin War, Hideaki Kobayakawa was torn between the Ouuetsu clan alliance and the new government, and while the allied forces with the Shonai clan at their core were fighting hard to protect Shinjo, Hideaki Kobayakawa defected to the new government forces. He pulls off a shocking feat. As a result, Shinjo Castle was burnt down by the enraged soldiers of the Shonai clan, and the feudal lord, Masazane Tozawa, fled to the Kubota clan, which was on the side of the new government. Well, because of this, the castle has lost everything except the stone walls, so I don't get excited even when I visit it. Tozawa Shrine, which enshrines the founder of the Shinjo domain, is located at the site of the main enclosure. While Aizu, which had sacrificed itself for the cause, suffered from misfortune for a long time, Shinjo, a traitor, received preferential treatment from the new government. This is in contrast to the Kobayakawa clan, who died young and died without a successor, leading to the end of the imperial family, so if you are a person who values ​​a high life of betrayal, you can expect some kind of divine blessings. (Original) 最上氏の転封ののち、新庄藩六万石の藩主となった戸沢氏の居城です。戸沢氏は角館を本拠とした戦国大名だったのですが、いろいろあって徳川氏譜代の名門である鳥居氏の分家同然のあつかいとなり、最上氏の転封後、新庄藩六万石の領主に収まりました。 戊辰戦争に際しては奥羽越列藩同盟と新政府の間で右往左往して、新庄を死守すべく庄内藩を中核とする同盟軍が奮戦している最中に新政府軍に寝返るという、小早川秀秋がドン引きしそうな離れ業をやってのけます。結果、激怒した庄内藩兵により新庄城は焼き払われて、藩主の戸沢正実は新政府方であった久保田藩に逃げ込みます。 まあ、そういった経緯で石垣以外が失われたお城なので、訪れてもいまひとつテンションがあがりません。 本丸跡には新庄藩の藩祖を祀る戸沢神社が鎮座しています。大義に殉じた会津が長らくの不遇に苦しんだのに対して、裏切者の新庄は新政府から優遇されました。早世ののち無嗣改易で御家断絶となった小早川氏とも対照的なので、裏切上等な人生を是とする方であればある種の御利益は期待できそうです。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is not big and can be visited in a short time. The atmosphere is very leisurely. (Original) 這個神社不大一下就逛完了 氣氛很悠閒

Ride to this small town by accident. I guess it is a township rich with cultural events.

Small and comfy station with lots of parking and a nice waiting room.

Good transfer station for hanging around,getting information, taking rest, buying local product (omiyage)

Look a new building station

(Translated by Google) [Sapporo Station → Makurazaki Station Railway journey across the Japanese Archipelago] ○9th stop on the way: Shinjo Station It took about 3 hours to leave Akita Station and ride the train. Arrived at Shinjo, a major hub in Yamagata Prefecture. It's a beautiful station as the Shinkansen runs through it. The appearance of the city was also quite quaint and nice. Since I had about an hour to transfer, I decided to take a walk around the area and have dinner. Since there is a downtown area in front of the station, I don't think there will be any trouble finding restaurants.

At this point, you can change from the Shinkansen and take the Ou Main Line local train heading towards Akita.The seat is long, and it takes less than 3 hours to get to Akita.It's hard to see the scenery from the train window, and it makes tourists cry a little.

(Translated by Google) It is the northernmost station on the Yamagata Shinkansen service section. Served by Ou Main Line, Rikuu East Line, and Rikuu West Line. There are no stairs to transfer to each direction, so it's easy to move around with suitcases, and it's a unique station that even people who don't like stairs can move around easily.

(Translated by Google) Although it is a public museum, I think it is worth a visit for people who do not live in snowy regions. Inside, you can learn about life in the snow country and the history of the snow country relief movement around Shinjo. This may be a relatively common thing in snowy countries, but for people from other regions, including me, I thought it was a very interesting facility that gave a glimpse of life in snowy countries. (Original) いかにも公営な資料館ですが、雪国以外の人には一見の価値ありと思います。 中では、雪国の暮らし、新庄周辺における雪国救済運動の歴史を見ることが出来ます。 雪国においては割と普通の事だったりするのかもしれないですが、私含めそれ以外の地域の人にとっては雪国での暮らしを垣間見ることが出来るなかなか見ごたえある施設であると思いました。

(Translated by Google) Visited for the first time while on a business trip.

At the same time, we were able to learn about various histories related to snow. (Original) 出張のついでに初来館。雪害という言葉がある人物の努力により認知され、この館の前身の建物ができたとのこと。合わせて雪にまつわる様々な歴史を知ることができました。

(Translated by Google) An old folk house designated as an important cultural property. It was originally built in a different area, but was relocated. The receptionist gave me a quick tour of the inside, and I was told that perhaps because the Shinjo clan was poor, building farmhouses in a luxurious (though not so much) manner was strictly prohibited. A good place to remember the life of those days. Recommended if you're passing by. (Original) 重文指定の古民家。元は別の地区に建っていたが移築したそうです。受付の方が簡単に中を案内してくださいましたが、新庄藩は貧しかったためか、農家の家屋は贅沢（というほどのものでもないが）な造りは厳しく禁止されていたそうです。当時の生活が偲ばれるよいところ。近くを通りかかったらおすすめです。
