Tsuboi Sakae Memorial Museum

The Tsuboi Sakae Memorial Museum displays manuscripts, personal belongings, and literary works within three connected buildings featuring copper roofs and traditional architecture.

Established in 1992, the museum preserves the legacy of author Tsuboi Sakae, who wrote the influential novel Nijushi no Hitomi about education in post-war Japan.

The museum collection includes original manuscripts, square poetry cards, letters, and books that document the evolution of Japanese literature in the 20th century.

Visitors can explore the museum daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission including access to both the memorial halls and adjacent movie studio.

The museum features recreated rooms from Tsuboi's residence, including an original irori fireplace that maintains the historical accuracy of the period setting.
