The Museum for Wood Culture, Wood culture museum in Kami, Japan.
The circular museum building rises from the forest like a truncated cone with a diameter of 46 meters, connected by a pedestrian bridge.
The museum opened in 1994 to commemorate the post-World War II imperial decree establishing a national day dedicated to forest preservation in Japan.
The exhibition space contains traditional carpentry tools, wooden crafts, and architectural models that demonstrate Japanese woodworking techniques through the centuries.
Located at 951 Wachi in Muraoka-ku, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM with free admission.
The interior features an ascending spiral ramp supported by 18-meter wooden columns, with a central water-filled crater spanning 20 meters in diameter.
