About this spot

This museum introduces Murata Town's history and culture, making it easy to learn about the town during its safflower trading prosperity and how the warehouse district preserved its historic character. Exhibits recreate the lifestyles of old merchants, and displays introduce the town's seasonal events. Your understanding of the warehouse district you just walked through will deepen significantly. The air-conditioned interior also provides a pleasant rest stop during summer exploring.

Tips

A short walk from the historic warehouse district. The museum is small enough to view in under an hour, giving you plenty of time for your next destination. Having pocket change ready makes admission smooth.
