Koshinokuni Museum of Literature

The Koshinokuni Museum of Literature is a literary institution in Toyama dedicated to preserving manuscripts, books, and collections connected to writers and poets from the prefecture. The building houses multiple exhibitions showcasing both classical and modern literary works from the region.

The museum was founded in 2012 to preserve the literary heritage of the Toyama region and was designed by the architecture firm Coelacanth and Associates. This modern structure was built specifically to house and protect the collections appropriately.

The permanent exhibition 'Furusato Bungaku no Kura' presents local literature spanning from ancient Manyo period poems to contemporary manga and animated works. Visitors can observe how the written culture of the region has evolved across centuries.

The museum is located in the Funahashi district and welcomes visitors daily. Guests should plan for adequate time to explore the multiple exhibition spaces and take advantage of rest areas throughout the building.

The building features a dedicated family reading area with views overlooking a garden designed with literary themes in mind. This space was intentionally created to bring children and adults together in shared enjoyment of literature.
