Furusato Fuchu History Museum (ふるさと府中歴史館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Located just next to Okunitama Shrine, this facility introduces the history of Fuchu City. This area was once the site of the ancient Musashi provincial government office, and you can trace the town's origins through excavation results and displays of unearthed artifacts. The museum is compact, sized just right for a visit within a child's attention span. It helps explain why Okunitama Shrine, which you just visited, stands in this particular location. The air-conditioned interior is also a reliable place to rest during the hottest hours of the day.

Tips

Please check opening days and hours in advance through official information from Fuchu City. The museum is a place to stay quiet, so remind children not to run around. The next stop, Purari to Keio Fuchu, is within walking distance, so starting to move before it gets crowded will keep things smooth.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. Lets you spend the hot late-morning hours indoors.
