Tono Municipal Museum, Regional museum and library in Tōno, Japan

The Tono Municipal Museum occupies a building whose ground floor holds the city library, with exhibition rooms above. Its displays follow three themes: the world of the Tono Monogatari, the nature and daily life of Tono, and Tono's folklore studies. A three-screen theatre shows films on the Tono Monogatari, and the museum is a registered museum under Japan's Museum Act.

The museum holds the manuscript of Yanagita Kunio's Tono Monogatari, alongside folklore materials from the Tono area such as oshirasama. It also displays documents on Tono-connected figures including folklorists Inō Kanori and Sasaki Kizen. The museum is a registered museum under Japan's Museum Act.

The museum's folk-culture collection centres on the oshirasama, small wooden figures with cloth garments that households in the Tōno area kept and used in rituals. Alongside them are materials on local figures such as the folklorist Inō Kanori and Sasaki Kizen, who supplied tales to Yanagita Kunio for Tōno Monogatari.

Opening hours are 9:00 to 17:00, with last admission at 16:30. The museum closes on Mondays from November to the end of March, and also from 28 to 31 January, 24 to 30 November, and over the New Year holidays. The library sits on the floor below the museum. Nearby are Nabekura Park, Nanbu Shrine and the Tono Folktale Village.

The collections document accounts from residents about supernatural encounters in the mountains and forests surrounding Tōno. These records offer a rare glimpse into how local people perceived and made sense of their environment through folk beliefs.
