Tokushima Prefectural Torii Ryuzo Memorial Museum

The memorial museum contains exhibits dedicated to Japanese anthropologist Ryuzo Torii, displaying photographs, artifacts, and research materials from his expeditions across East Asia.

The museum opened in March 1964 and relocated to its current position in 2010, becoming an integral part of the Forest of Culture area in Tokushima city.

Within the museum, visitors discover the extensive research conducted by Torii on indigenous populations, including detailed studies of the Ainu people and Korean artifacts.

Located at Mukoterayama in Hachiman-cho, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM with direct bus access from Tokushima Station.

The institution houses Torii's innovative photographic documentation methods from the early 1900s, which revolutionized anthropological research techniques in Japan.
