Toyama Municipal Folkcraft Village

The Toyama Municipal Folkcraft Village encompasses nine distinct buildings spread across wooded hills, including museums dedicated to pottery, traditional life, and medicine history.

The museum complex originated in June 1965 with the Folk Craft Museum, gradually expanding to include additional facilities like the Folk Craft Gassho Museum and Folklore Museum.

The collection presents regional artifacts such as traditional tools, ceramics, textiles, wood lacquerware, and folk paintings from both Japanese and international origins.

Entry fees start at 100 yen for single museum access or 530 yen for all museums, while students in senior high school and younger receive free admission.

The Museum of Medicine Peddlers documents Toyama's legacy as a medicine center through exhibits of tools and a historical sales system using pre-filled medicine boxes.
