Katsushika Shibamata Tora-san Museum, Film museum in Shibamata Park, Japan.
Description
The Katsushika Shibamata Tora-san Museum is a film museum in Shibamata dedicated to the Otoko wa Tsurai yo film series, displaying original costumes, props, and reconstructed sets from the movies. Visitors walk through exhibit rooms filled with artifacts and walk-in displays that recreate scenes from the films.
History
The museum opened in 1997 and preserves the legacy of Japan's longest-running film series, which ran from 1969 to 1995 with actor Kiyoshi Atsumi in the lead role. The collection spans nearly three decades of one of Japan's most popular film franchises.
Culture
The museum displays how people in 1960s Tokyo lived and what filled their daily spaces through faithful recreations of the Kurumaya shop and other neighborhood settings. Visitors see the objects, furnishings, and room arrangements that were part of ordinary life during that era.
Practical
The museum sits about eight minutes on foot from Shibamata Station, making it easy to reach by train and local transport. The indoor galleries are laid out for comfortable walking, and visitors can move through the spaces at their own pace without time pressure.
Did you know?
Visitors can examine Tora-san's original suitcase filled with travel items and view a small diorama showing the character resting inside the miniature Kurumaya house. These details bring visitors surprisingly close to the fictional world of the films.
