The Hara-kei Memorial Museum preserves the former home of Takashi Hara, the Morioka-born politician who served as Japan's prime minister from 1918 to 1921. Exhibits include documents and personal possessions connected with his life and career.
It is a focused museum, best for visitors interested in modern Japanese politics or Morioka's local history. The house setting gives it more character than a simple document display.
