Urayasu City Folk Museum

The Urayasu City Folk Museum features indoor galleries and an outdoor area with reconstructed buildings from the early 1950s representing the local fishing community.

Established in 2001, the museum preserves the memory of Urayasu's transformation from a small fishing village of 6,000 inhabitants to a modern urban center.

The museum displays traditional boat construction techniques, fishing equipment, and authentic artifacts that document daily life in the former seaside community.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with free admission and parking facilities near City Hall.

The museum grounds include relocated original structures such as a 1926 tobacco shop and wooden houses arranged along streets made of seashells.
