Sakaiminato's Premier Museum: Immerse Yourself in the Yokai World
About this spot
Located near the end of Mizuki Shigeru Road, this museum lets you fully experience the world of Manga Master Mizuki Shigeru. It features original manuscripts from his works including "GeGeGe no Kitaro," displays of yokai sculptures, and exhibits tracing the master's eventful life story. Dimly lit corridors create an atmospheric setting where yokai characters seem to emerge from the shadows—a thrilling experience for children who feel they've stepped into the yokai world itself, while adults can savor the depth of Mizuki's works and his philosophy. Interactive displays throughout the museum cater to various paces and interests, making it a family-friendly experience. This museum is the centerpiece of the Gegege Stroll and the cornerstone of Sakaiminato tourism.
