童話館, Picture-book museum in Nagasaki, Japan

The Dōwakan is a children's bookshop in Nagasaki whose book section moved in 1999 to the first floor of the Inori no Oka Picture Book Museum, on Glover-dōri in Minamiyamatemachi. The museum occupies the second and third floors of the same building and shows original picture-book illustrations; admission is free.

The Dōwakan bookstore was founded in December 1981 by Kawabata Tsuyoshi as a shop specialising in children's books. In 1999 the group opened the Inori no Oka Picture Book Museum on Minamiyamatemachi, and the bookshop moved from the city centre into the museum's first floor. Kawabata's son Shō took over as second representative in 2014 after his father's death.

The museum is run by the Dōwakan children's bookshop group, which moved its bookshop into the museum's ground floor in 1999. Its name, "Hill of Prayer," comes from the Minamiyamate hill where Ōura Cathedral and Glover Garden stand. The bookshop's "book club" sends picture books to children by age-based courses.

The museum occupies the second and third floors of the building at 2-10 Minamiyamatemachi, on Glover Street; the Dōwakan bookshop is on the ground floor. Admission is free. The Oura Cathedral and Glover Garden are nearby, so the visit can be combined with them.

The museum opened in 1999 on the second and third floors of a building on Glover Street in Minamiyamatemachi, above the group's bookstore on the ground floor. Admission is free. The publishing arm, Dōwakan Shuppan, was set up in 1995 to reprint out-of-print picture books, and has issued more than 200 titles, including Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came to Tea in Japanese translation.
