Shibusawa Memorial Museum, Biographical museum in Asukayama Park, Japan.

The Shibusawa Memorial Museum is a biographical museum in Nishigahara that tells the story of an influential modern-era businessman. The collections include documents, photographs, and personal items that document his life and work.

The museum was founded in 1982 in two buildings from the Taisho era, recognized as Important Cultural Properties of Japan. These structures were originally part of Shibusawa's residence and now serve as exhibition spaces.

The museum displays letters and business records that show how Shibusawa shaped Japanese banking and industry. Visitors can see personal items and notes that reflect his daily work and decision-making approach.

The museum is within walking distance of several train stations and sits within a larger park. Visitors should plan for a few hours to explore, and note that some labels are available in Japanese and English.

The museum's two buildings, Banko-tei and Seien-bunko, were originally residences that were later converted into exhibition spaces. This architecture lets visitors experience the settings where Shibusawa lived and worked.
