兵士・庶民の戦争資料館​

The museum is a collection of war-related materials from the perspective of soldiers and civilians in Japan. Its holdings include photographs, weapons, uniforms, and personal items that document the experiences of these people.

The museum was founded in 1979 to preserve wartime memories from soldiers and civilians. Its collection focuses on the historical experience of people from the local region during wartime.

The exhibitions show perspectives from people in the Kotake region who lived through wartime. Visitors can discover personal items and stories from families who experienced this period firsthand.

The museum is located in a modest building and can be tricky to find at first. Plan enough time to walk through the displays slowly and read through the personal accounts carefully.

The museum is very small and typically run by local volunteers who have personal connections to the items on display. Their passion and knowledge make the visit particularly genuine and engaging.
