Chita City Museum

The Chita City Museum is a history and folk museum in Midori-machi that displays exhibitions and objects documenting the development of the Chita region across multiple historical periods. The galleries present collections that record changes in everyday life, work, and craftsmanship throughout these eras.

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 located near public transportation routes and is easy to reach. Visitors can join guided tours to learn about the region's history and local traditions in detail.

The museum regularly collaborates with local craftspeople who demonstrate their traditional techniques during special workshops. Visitors can watch how these heritage skills are still practiced today.
