Urayasu City Folk Museum, Local museum in Nekozane, Japan.
Description
The Urayasu City Folk Museum is a local museum in Nekozane with indoor galleries and outdoor grounds. Reconstructed buildings from the early 1950s stand there, showing how the fishing community lived and worked.
History
The museum was founded in 2001 to preserve memories of Urayasu's transformation from a small fishing settlement to a modern city. This change happened over several decades as the region developed and grew.
Culture
The museum displays traditional boat-building skills and fishing methods that shaped daily life in this seaside community. These practices were central to how families survived and worked together in the former coastal settlement.
Practical
The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday with free admission and parking near City Hall. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through both indoor galleries and outdoor grounds.
Did you know?
The grounds feature an original tobacco shop from 1926 and wooden houses arranged along streets paved with seashells. This unusual construction method used materials that fishers had readily available from their daily work.
