[2025 Ishinomaki Attraction] Travel Guide for Ishinomori Manga Museum (Updated Mar)

#DomesticTravelRecord I took the Senseki Tohoku Line from JR Sendai Station to Ishinomori Manga Museum in Ishinomaki City 🚃 As soon as I arrived at Ishinomaki Station, the Cyborg 009 characters greeted me 😄 It's about a 15-minute walk from the station, but it's fun to stroll around the city as the characters created by Shotaro Ishinomori are all around the road 🙂 At the entrance to the manga museum, a sand sculpture of Cyborg 009 was on display, as well as cars from the current Super Sentai series and handprints by various artists 👀 When I went inside, the Ishinomori world unfolded, and it was a space that fans would love ✨ I also strongly felt that the fact that it was rebuilt in this location despite the damage caused by the tsunami during the earthquake and tsunami must have had a great meaning for both the locals and Ishinomori. I recommend this place to people who like Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai series, as well as people who like manga, and even children who don't know anything about manga, as they can learn about the greatness of manga while having fun 😊 (The characters were also wrapped around the trains on the Senseki Tohoku Line 🙌) #SensekiTohokuLine #IshinomoriMangaMuseum #IshinomakiCity

Took the Senseki Line to Miyagi Prefecture, Ishinomaki City! Ishinomaki City is the second hometown of manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori. From Ishinomaki Station, the streets of the city are lined with statues of characters from Ishinomori's representative works such as Cyborg 009, Kamen Rider, Sarutobi Ecchan, and Sabu & Ichi's Detective Tales. Ishinomori once served as an assistant to Tezuka, so the character designs are very similar to Tezuka's works. After walking for more than 20 minutes and crossing a large bridge, we arrived at the Ishinomori Manga Museum in Ishinomaki City! Located on an inland island in Ishinomaki City, this place is also known as Manga Island. The entrance fee is 900 yen, and it is closed every Tuesday. Every three months or so, the museum holds a special exhibition of an anime. The museum is filled with original drawings and introductions related to Ishinomori's works, with more items related to Cyborg 009 and Kamen Rider. Between the ramp from the first-floor entrance to the second floor, there is a video hall where the museum's original animated films are shown. On the third floor, there is a restaurant where I tasted whale rice bowl. Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture Ishinomori Manga Museum
