Yoshikawa Eiji Memorial Museum

The Yoshikawa Eiji Memorial Museum displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings of the Japanese novelist in a building designed by architect Yoshirō Taniguchi.

The memorial museum opened its doors in 1977 to preserve the legacy of Eiji Yoshikawa, who wrote historical novels about samurai culture.

The museum contains a complete collection of literary works, including notes, story drafts, and letters that showcase the development of Japanese historical fiction.

Located 20 minutes by foot from Ishigami-mae Station on the JR Ome Line, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00.

The Cultural Foundation proposed donating the facility to Ome Municipal Government in 2017 due to declining attendance and financial considerations.
