Events around Roopt Ishinomaki Izumicho -OGAWA-

This is Shotaro Ishinomori's manga museum, built on a sandbar 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 the Ishinomaki accommodation. Character statues line the street outside the museum (Ishinomaki Manga Road), so the journey won't be boring.

This is the day when the home base of the Blue Impulse is open to the public once a year. 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 you won't know the loudness of the sound directly underneath unless you go inside.

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