ハリー・バーンズ in the last week

I went there after going to Shiroishi Castle. On the first floor, there is a souvenir shop and restaurant. The second floor is the history museum. The third floor is a three-dimensional high-definition theater. At the high-definition theater, I watched ``Onikojuro Kowari no Nakazu'' and ``Kitto ni Ararazu.'' (It was 400 yen x 2 because it was a 400 yen exchange system) In my spare time, I went to a nearby shrine and ate some hot noodles on the first floor, and surprisingly I didn't have enough time. Actors with ties to the series appeared (Jo Shishido, who was evacuated during the war and graduated from Shiroishi High School), and Ken Watanabe and Teruhiko Saigo appeared as navigators. ``Onikojuro is not good enough to return'' is a story about the time of the triumphant return after the Summer Siege in Osaka. The drama included an anecdote about Yukimura Sanada's daughter Ame being brought back to Shiroishi Castle. "Not a Thief" is a story about the Ouuetsu clan alliance. I remember being taught this at school when I was in elementary school. In order to oppose the new Meiji government, various clans in the Tohoku region came together and formed an alliance. This is the origin of the phrase, ``If you win, you are called the government army, and if you lose, you are called the rebel army.'' After this, a pioneer group from Shiroishi City will develop the area around Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo City. I watched "Not a Thief". It's best not to expect too much of a 3D effect. I really enjoyed it as a historical drama. I went to see ``Nobuo Miyagino: Revenge of the Daughter'' at a later date. There was a story called Oshu Shiraishi Banashi that was famous nationwide and was even performed in Kabuki. The part where Masayuki Yui is involved is probably fiction. Kai Shishido, Ken Tanaka, and Rie Shibata appeared. It was a revenge story set in Shiroishi. My recommendation would be ``Nobuo Miyagino: Revenge of the Daughter''. By the way, the history museum on the second floor (free of charge) is not a big deal. The shop on the first floor has a wide selection of items that history buffs will probably want to buy. The restaurant looks like a typical food court. ・Warm kakiage noodles (600 yen including tax) I ate this in between showings at the 3D high-definition theater. I knew there was a restaurant here, but I thought it would only serve soft-serve ice cream and other light meals, but there was quite a large menu. There were nine types of warm noodles, four types of ramen, and three types of fried rice. There were also frankfurters, takoyaki, french fries, nuggets, and shiratama zenzai. The taste was just like a normal food court, so I was satisfied because I didn't have high expectations. I parked my car in the parking lot, looked at Shiroishi Castle, and watched two historical stories related to Shiroishi at the Historical Exploration Museum, and about 2 hours passed in the blink of an eye. I was wondering who would eat it, but it's surprisingly nice to have a place where you can get snacks. A must for tourist destinations! I don't think I paid. . Shiroishi city tourism is doing a surprisingly good job. I enjoyed Toshinji Temple, Shiroishi Castle, History Exploration Museum, and Shiroishi Onmen.

Even though I don't know much about castles, and my son has never shown any interest in history, this 3D theater was so impressive that I was captivated by it. It was a fun 30 minute learning experience. At 11:00, I watched the secret story of Osaka's summer camp, ``Kojuro is not good enough to return.'' The hojicha soft serve was also delicious.

The first floor has a shop and a restaurant. The second floor is an exhibition room. The third floor is a 3D museum. The museum is screening 3 films, but they are replaced once at a time, so it costs 1,200 yen to see all the films. The story I saw was about a father being killed by the Katakura family's swordsmanship instructor, and the sisters learning swordsmanship in Edo to hone their skills and take revenge. It was quite an interesting work. This work was produced by NHK and stars Kai Shishido, Ken Tanaka, Rie Shibata, and others.

There is a shop on the first floor. On the second floor there is an exhibition about Shiroishi Castle. Admission is free. There is a fee for the third floor. You can watch high-definition theater. Various things about Shiroishi because you can learn I think it's a good learning experience. Souvenirs are available at the shop on the first floor. Goods and food are also available. If you come to see Shiroishi Castle I decided to stop by as a set. This is a recommended spot.
