Osamu Dazai Memorial Museum “Shayokan”

Osamu Dazai’s childhood home. You can tour almost the entire home and walk into each of the rooms. There are also QR codes to scan for audio guides in various languages as well as guided tours available.

Aomori is my hometown but it was my first visit. They had heaters but my feet felt frozen as I walked on tatami mats and stairs. It is certainly grand for someone’s home. I saw a living room, bedrooms, kitchen, but not bathroom nor bath. This place is kept clean but requires extensive renovation. It was nice to see Dazai’s handwritten letters and capes.

I had a lovely time at the Shayokan. The staff were very kind, and they stored my baggage behind the counter for me. There is one room towards the back where photography is not allowed. A lot of information was translated into English via QR code audio tour. They even offered tea and coffee for a reasonable price. I hope to visit again someday with friends.
