Kurashiki Art Sword Museum, Art museum in Chayamachi, Japan
The Kurashiki Art Sword Museum contains an extensive collection of Japanese swords, displaying numerous historical weapons and martial artifacts throughout its galleries.
Founded in 2002, the museum occupies a restored building that previously served as Kurashiki City Hall, designed by architect Tange Kenzo in 1960.
The museum preserves traditional Japanese sword-making techniques through its collection and offers opportunities for visitors to examine authentic katana blades.
Located four minutes from JR Chayamachi Station, the museum operates from 10:00 to 19:00, charges 1000 yen admission, and remains closed on Mondays.
The facility allows visitors to handle genuine Japanese swords upon request, though purchases are restricted to Japanese citizens due to weapon regulations.
