👍👍 旧公衆衛生院の建物を改装して開館した郷土歴史館。 東京大学安田講堂も手にした内田祥三により設計された歴史的建造物を活用した拠点。 常設展示、特別展示もあるが、無料で見学可能な建物自体が素晴らしく、一見の価値がある。 特に旧講堂は、重厚な木造の演壇と階段教室形式で実に趣がある。 建物の周りも緑に囲まれ、晴...

Plum blossoms, hydrangeas & bamboo groves around traditional wood cottages, sheds & water mills.

Museum offering exhibits on local history, with focus on nature & astronomy, plus planetarium shows.

👍👍 Free Muesum detailing two of Tokyo's most devastating chapters. Ground floor is dedicated to the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and the first floor to Toyko's near total destruction during the War World Two air Raids. Very humbling experience and reinforces Japan's achievements at rebuilding Tokyo twic...

Stately domed building dating to 1904 with displays of centuries-old clay horses & Buddhist statues.

Japanese arts & crafts on display in the traditional, thatched-roof home of a post-WWII bureaucrat.

😐 Since it is managed in a private home, the entrance fee of 500 yen is probably reasonable. I just wanted to see Izumi no kami Kanesada✨😆 I haven't been to Touken Ranbu, so I don't know much about it, but it seems like there were more Tourabu fans than Shinsengumi fans in the line waiting to ente...

👍👍 Asukayama Park and the building related to Eiichi Shibusawa built there, as well as the building of the museum, are also tasteful. It was more than 10 years before the Shibusawa boom, and there was still no Asukarugo from JR Oji Station, but I went to see an exhibition related to Eiichi Shibusawa....

Museum with collections & exhibits tracing regional history, with an auditorium & sunken garden.

👍👍 I think the content of the exhibition is quite good. The building and garden have a spacious feel, and are lit up at night. 2022/11/6 Second visit. I was in a hurry as it was about to close. 2023/4/23 4th visit. I was holding an insect exhibition. It was well thought out and interesting. 2023/9/9

👍 日野駅から長い坂を歩いた先の住宅街にある歴史館です。 徒歩10分～15分程掛かりました。 新撰組の誕生や時代背景が展示品と合わせて紹介してます。 日野本宿観覧券とセットだと300円ですので、両館見学したい方はセットのチケットを購入した方が良いと思います。 館内は撮影禁止です。

👍👍 以外にボリュームのある展示でした。これが無料なのでお得です。 ライブラリーには練馬区在住の漫画家や、練馬区が舞台になった作品が置いてあります。 また、一階に武蔵野うどんのお店が入っていて、とても良い香りがしていました。 麺は茹で置かず、注文が入ってから釜にいれるこだわりがあるそうです。 お隣の旧内田家...

Modern museum with quirky regional history displays & occasional exhibits of work by local artists.

👍👍 新選組の支援者で土方副長の姉のぶさまの夫である佐藤彦五郎さまが所持されていた新選組とくに土方副長にまつわる品々が展示されていて、実家をしのぐレア度だと思います。子孫の方が丁寧に説明してくださいます。休館日が多いので事前に確認され行かれることをお勧めします。JR日野駅徒歩圏内で佐藤家菩提寺の大昌寺、井上...

👍👍 It was very messy and a lot of fun. I was able to use the planetarium in a spacious space. However, I didn't feel like it, so I fell asleep within 5 minutes... I wonder if my snoring is okay (lol) I was also given a weaving experience. Also, there are mountains right behind us, so we were able to d...
