Ichinomiya City Museum (一宮市博物館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This city-run museum is located next to Myoko Hoon Zen Temple. It showcases cultural assets passed down from the temple, the history of the Owari region, and the development of the textile industry that is Ichinomiya's local specialty. The exhibits center on actual artifacts, with items such as old looms and dyeing tools that show traces of hand craftsmanship. Special exhibitions are sometimes held, offering something new to discover on each visit. The building has a calm design, and the air-conditioned interior is a welcome refuge on a hot morning. It's also just the right size for conserving your energy ahead of the pool later in the day.

Tips

The museum is closed on certain days, such as Mondays, so check in advance before heading over. Special exhibitions may require a separate admission fee. It's within walking distance of Myoko Hoon Zen Temple, so there's no need to move your car. Please view the exhibits quietly inside.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The advantage is being able to spend the hot late-morning hours indoors
