Izushi Shiryōkan

The Izushi Shiryokan occupies a former merchant residence with traditional machiya architecture, featuring sliding doors and tatami rooms arranged around a central garden.

After the devastating fire of 1876 that destroyed two-thirds of Izushi town, the main building was reconstructed in 1912 with an annex dating from 1892.

The museum exhibits samurai armor, weapons, and artifacts from local rulers, displayed across interconnected buildings that maintain authentic Edo Period design elements.

Located at 78 Izushicho Yoida in Toyooka, the museum operates from 9:30 to 17:00, charging 300 yen for adults and 180 yen for students.

The museum's walls display a characteristic reddish color derived from local clay, while summer lattice windows create distinct shadow patterns on tatami floors.
