Birthplace of the Miyazaki Brothers / Miyazaki Brothers Museum
The museum clearly exhibits the achievements and the exchanges between the four brothers—Hachiro Miyazaki, Toten, and others—who devoted themselves to the dawn of modern Asia, and Sun Yat‑sen, the father of the Chinese revolution.
The morning drama series Hanako and Anne featured characters modeled on Toten’s son Ryusuke Miyazaki and his wife Yanagiwara Byakuren, which became a topic of conversation.

Kiln tours including Ojiro ware
In Arao City, various kilns produce works, including Ojiro ware with a history of over 400 years.
