Events around Roopt Ishinomaki Hagurocho

This is a manga museum dedicated to Shotaro Ishinomori, located on a sandbank in the Kitakami River. Original drawings of Kamen Rider and Cyborg 009 are on permanent display.

Special exhibitions change every few months, so the content will be different even on a second visit.It can also be used as a destinationon a rainy day.

It's within walking distance from accommodations in Ishinomaki. The street outside the museum (Ishinomaki Manga Road) also has character statues lined up, so the journey won't be boring.

This is the one day a year when the home base of the Blue Impulse is open to the public. Admission is free and no application is required.

In addition to demonstration flights, equipment displays are also held. You can see the sky from outside the base, but the intensity of the sound when viewed directly underneath can only be experienced by entering the base.

Please note that in 2026, the event has been moved from its usual late August toearly October (as a measure against extreme heat). On the previous day, October 3, the renamed "Higashimatsushima Autumn Festival" will be held. Flights are highly dependent on weather, so please check the announcement on the day before heading out.
