Mint Museum, Numismatic museum in Tenma, Japan.
The Mint Museum exhibits collections of domestic and international coins, medals, and manufacturing equipment within a red brick building in Sakuranomiya Park.
Initially constructed as a thermal power plant in 1911, the structure became the only preserved western-style brick building from the Meiji era at the Japan Mint.
The museum displays the first Hepburn Japanese-English dictionary in Japan alongside numerous medals from national and international events including Olympic Games.
Located at 1-1-79 Tenma, Kita-ku, Osaka, the museum operates daily from 09:00 to 16:45 with free admission and provides audio guides in multiple languages.
During mid-April, the museum grounds feature 336 cherry trees along a 560-meter corridor, creating a natural exhibition space for seasonal viewing.

Osaka is Japan of contrasts. A city where 6th-century temples stand beside futuristic skyscrapers, where fish markets meet giant Dotonbori signs, and where the nights turn streets into a continuous show. More lively and spontaneous than Tokyo, Osaka maintains its accent, humor, and warmth. People come here to eat, stroll, and listen to the hum of a metropolis that never truly sleeps. Between medieval castles, Shinto shrines, avant-garde museums, and multi-level hot spring baths, the city presents both ancient and ultra-modern faces. Exploring Namba, Shinsekai, or Umeda reveals a unique energy, vibrant urban culture, and an attention to detail that makes Japan unforgettable.
