Muraoka Sohonpo Yokan Museum (村岡総本舗 羊羹資料館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Ogi has been a town of yokan making since long ago, and many yokan shops line its streets. This museum conveys that history: inside a building that reuses an old sugar warehouse, tools long used in yokan making and materials from those days are on display. The building itself has an atmospheric exterior that speaks of Ogi's modern era, the kind of place you want to photograph. For children it is a chance to learn how the sweets they always eat are made, and for adults it conveys the course of the town's industry. It is within walking distance of Ogi Park, making it just right as a final stop for the morning.

Tips

The interior is a quiet place lined with exhibits, so agreeing not to run before you go in makes for a calmer visit. Reckon on 30 minutes to an hour, and allow time to choose souvenirs after looking around. Parking at Ogi Park and walking there and back saves the trouble of hunting for a parking space. Opening days and hours can change, so checking before you set out makes it certain.

Best time to visit

About 55 minutes. Just right as a stop before lunch, and it leads comfortably into the afternoon water play
