Yabuzuka-Honmachi History and Folklore Museum

The Yabuzuka-Honmachi History and Folklore Museum contains exhibits documenting local traditions and historical artifacts from the Ota region of Gunma Prefecture.

Founded by Yabuzukahon in 1978, the museum preserves the heritage of an area known for its hot springs, which military commander Yoshisada Nitta used in the 14th century.

The museum displays regional artifacts and documents that highlight the connections between Yabuzuka Onsen's thermal waters and traditional Japanese customs through generations.

Located at coordinates 36.363422, 139.321742, the museum stands within walking distance of Yabuzuka Station and provides educational tours about local heritage.

The facility tells the story of Yabuzuka Onsen's mineral-rich waters, discovered around 670 CE, which contain specific concentrations of metasilicic sodium.
