Bizen Latin America Museum

The Bizen Latin America Museum houses a collection of 2,100 items including earthenware, clay figures, and textiles from ancient American civilizations.

The museum opened its doors on March 5, 1975, following a substantial donation of Latin American artifacts from collector Morishita Seiichi.

The museum building integrates local artisanal tradition through its exterior wall, which features 16,000 pieces of traditional Bizen pottery.

Visitors can access the museum from JR Hinase Station with an 8-minute walk, and entrance fees range from 300 yen for students to 700 yen for adults.

The museum maintains one of Japan's largest collections of Latin American archaeological and artistic materials, bridging cultural connections between two distant regions.
