I read 銀河鉄道の夜 which is probably his most famous work. There are quite a few versions that you can buy which have a lot of furigana, which was nice for me when I read it. I also saw a theatre production of it and went to a museum dedicated to Kenji Miyazawa's works. There's also an animated film of it, which I haven't seen yet. I think he has an absolutely fantastic imagination.
He writes in a more old fashioned style but it's still fairly accessible I think. If you get a chance to visit the museum then I recommend it. I was very interested to see the samples of the hand written original manuscript. I couldn't believe how messy it was!
