Ibigawa Museum of History and Folklore (揖斐川歴史民俗資料館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This museum in Ibigawa Town conveys the history of the area and the lives of its people. Since this is a land that has enjoyed the blessings of the great Ibi River while facing repeated floods, the tools and materials connected to the river catch the eye. Looking at old farming and household implements, you sense how people got along with water in an age without electricity or running water. The exhibits are compact, small enough for young children to complete a circuit before losing interest. Considering that the water in the afternoon's fountain plaza also traces back to this river basin, the way you see the water play shifts a little.

Tips

Check the admission fee and opening days on the town's official website in advance. The museum has closed days, so a check before you leave is recommended. It is quiet inside, so telling small children beforehand about keeping their voices down makes things easier.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is most comfortable
