Tonami Sankyoson Museum, Agricultural heritage museum in Tonami, Japan

The Tonami Sankyoson Museum is a folk heritage museum in Tonami comprising four buildings that display agricultural tools, folk materials, and traditional farming equipment from the region. The collections document the everyday practices and practical methods that farmers used across generations.

The museum was established in 2006 as a central facility of the Tonamino Garden Space Museum project aimed at preserving rural heritage. Its creation was part of a larger initiative to document vanishing ways of life in the countryside.

The museum displays how farmhouses spread across the landscape, each surrounded by its own protective groves of trees. This settlement pattern reflects how rural communities organized themselves around agricultural work over long periods.

The museum offers regular workshops and school programs that demonstrate how traditional farming methods worked. Plan time to explore all four buildings and check what exhibitions are currently on view.

The museum focuses on one of the few remaining examples of the Sankyoson scattered settlement pattern in Japan. The Tonami Plain contains the largest intact complex of this type.
