Chita City Museum, History and folk museum in Midorimachi, Japan.

The Chita City Museum, nicknamed Fyuutori Chita, is a history and folk museum in Midori-machi. Its exhibition building opened on the current site in 1978 and was renewed in 1999. Displays are organized around livelihood, covering the history and culture of Chita, and include the nationally designated fishing gear of the Chita Peninsula and the prefecturally designated Chita cotton production tools.

The museum was founded in 1968 and began documenting the transformation of the Chita region from a rural area into an industrial center. The collected objects illustrate this shift in the local economy and way of life.

The collection displays everyday objects like traditional tools, clothing, and household items that show how people once lived in the Chita Peninsula. These artifacts offer visitors a direct view into the handcraft traditions and work methods of past generations in this region.

The museum is about ten minutes on foot from Meitetsu Asakura or Teramoto stations on the Tokoname line. By car, take the Asakura interchange of the Nishi-Chita Sangyo Road east and turn left at the city hall south intersection, about 600 metres on; from Nagoya the Teramoto exit is convenient. There are 23 parking spaces. It opens 9:00 to 17:00, with last entry at 16:30, and closes on Mondays, or the following day when Monday is a holiday, plus the year-end and New Year period and exhibition rearrangement periods.

The museum's nickname, Fyuutorii Chita, combines the city mascot Fyuu-chan with the English word "History" and was chosen from public submissions. Its collection includes the nationally designated fishing gear of the Chita Peninsula, with related account books, and the Utase boat Fujii Maru, a city-designated cultural property.
