Yaizu City Museum of History and Folklore (焼津市歴史民俗資料館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This museum introduces Yaizu City's history and folklore, particularly the town's development as a center for deep-sea fishing. It offers easy-to-understand displays of the history of bonito and tuna fishing, the lives and tools of fishermen, and port town culture, using photos and models. Learning about Yaizu Port before tonight's fireworks helps you appreciate the festival more deeply as a celebration rooted in this port town. With exhibits that are approachable for children too, it's a spot where families can spend a relaxed amount of time together.
