Hirose Museum, House museum in Mameda-machi, Japan.

The Hirose Museum displays objects and historical documents belonging to the Hirose family, including personal belongings from Tanso and Kyubei Hirose.

The museum opened in 1984 in a building that served as the birthplace of Confucian scholar Tanso Hirose and his merchant brother Kyubei during the Edo period.

The museum contains exhibitions about Kangien, a private school founded by Tanso Hirose in 1817 that accepted students regardless of their social status.

Located 15 minutes from JR Hita Station, the museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and charges 450 yen for adults and 350 yen for students.
