Bunkyō City Mori Ōgai Memorial Museum

The Mori Ogai Memorial Museum exhibits personal items, manuscripts, and documents highlighting the career of this notable Japanese literary figure and army surgeon.

The museum stands on the location of Kancho-Ro, the residence where Mori Ogai lived from 1892 until his death in 1922 at Dango-zaka.

Many influential writers, including Nagai Kafu, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and Ishikawa Takuboku, regularly visited Mori Ogai at his Kancho-Ro residence for intellectual discussions.

Located at 1-23-4 Sendagi in Tokyo, the museum welcomes visitors from 10 AM to 6 PM with an entrance fee of 300 yen for adults.

From the second floor of the original residence, visitors could see white sails near the coast of Shinagawa, which inspired the name Kancho-Ro.
