It is a museum of Minamitane Town near Toyomitsu Shrine. In Honshu, purple black rice is familiar when it comes to ancient rice, but there is a reddish color rice called red rice in Tanegashima, and it is quite delicious when mixed with white rice and cooked.

I happened to find it on the way from the hotel to Cape Kadokura and stopped by. 15 minutes until the museum closes at 17:00. The staff was cleaning up, but they explained it carefully. In the hall, there were 々 materials and real items related to red rice on display, and I was surprised at the length of the rice. It's a pity that red rice amazake ice cream is sold out! !! After that, on the way to Cape Kadokura, there was a large countryside that I had never seen before.
