Aizumi Town Historical Museum Ai-no-Yakata

The Ai-no-Yakata Museum features exhibits on indigo cultivation, processing methods, and traditional dyeing techniques in a former merchant residence.

The museum opened in 1996 after Takeo Okumura, the 11th generation owner of a prominent indigo trading family, donated the property to Aizumi town in 1987.

The museum preserves nationally designated cultural properties, including traditional Awa indigo cultivation tools and processing equipment from the Tokushima region.

The facility operates from 9:00 to 17:00 with admission fees of 300 yen for adults, offering hands-on indigo dyeing experiences from 500 yen.

The museum maintains the original architecture of the Okumura family residence, including two buildings registered as Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan.
