The Tokugawa Museum

The Tokugawa Museum houses 30,000 artifacts, including documents, paintings, photographs, maps, sculptures, furniture, and crafts from the Mito Tokugawa family collection.

Founded in 1977 by Kuniyuki Tokugawa, the thirteenth head of the Mito Tokugawa family, the museum preserves objects from Japan's first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The museum holds the original manuscript of Dai Nihonshi, a comprehensive historical record of Japan compiled by the Tokugawa family over three centuries.

Located at 1-1215-1 Migawa, the museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with adult admission priced at 1200 yen.

The Shokokan Bunko library within the museum contains thousands of historical documents collected nationwide for compiling Japanese historical records.
