Minokamo City Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

Standing on a satoyama hill in Minokamo City (美濃加茂市), this facility combines a museum and a park. The exhibits trace the nature of the area and the history of people who lived alongside the Kiso River (木曽川). Outside the building there are woodland trails and open lawns, so you can move back and forth between indoors and outdoors. Learning about the satoyama waterside at the exhibits first changes how you see the place you will play in that afternoon. Hands-on programs for children are sometimes held during the summer holidays.

Tips

The permanent exhibition is free to view, but special exhibitions may charge a fee. Check opening hours, closing days and special exhibition information on the official website before visiting. The outdoor trails have plenty of shade, but there can be mosquitoes, so insect repellent makes the walk more comfortable. There is a slope from the parking lot to the building, so allow extra time if you have a stroller.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 20 minutes. Right after opening you can look around quietly
