Inoh Tadataka Museum

The Inoh Tadataka Museum displays cartographic instruments, maps, and personal items belonging to the first surveyor who created detailed maps of Japan.

The museum, established in 1961, preserves the legacy of Inoh Tadataka who conducted ten expeditions across Japan between 1800 and 1816 to map the country.

The exhibition includes the Greater Japan Coastal Maps collection, containing 214 large-scale maps that demonstrate advanced surveying techniques of the Edo period.

Located near Sawara Canal, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 16:30 and provides wheelchair access throughout its facilities.

Visitors can examine a collection of 1:36000 scale maps created through actual land surveys, which maintain their accuracy even by modern standards.
