Hachinohe Portal Museum (Hacchi)

八戸ポータルミュージアム はっち

Aomori · Tohoku

A downtown Hachinohe cultural complex opened in 2011 with galleries, a theater and workshops celebrating local crafts and festivals, including displays of the city's Enburi and Sansha Taisai float traditions.

Why it's hidden

A free, low-key civic museum in the city center that most transiting travelers never step into.
