Kyūsendō Forest Museum

The museum building features exhibits about forest ecosystems, sustainable practices, and the relationship between local communities and their natural environment.

Opened in June 1984, the museum was designed by architect Yasufumi Kijima and later received recognition through the prestigious AIJ Prize for architectural excellence.

The museum showcases traditional Japanese approaches to forest management while educating visitors about the importance of maintaining ecological balance in modern times.

Located near National Road 219 and the Kuma River estuary, the museum includes information panels in multiple languages and a gift shop with local forest products.

The museum building integrates with the surrounding forest landscape, creating direct connections between indoor exhibition spaces and the natural environment outside.
