Omi Hino Merchant Museum

The Omi Hino Merchant Museum exhibits traditional tools, clothing, and documents used by Japanese merchants during their commercial activities across the country.

The museum building represents a typical residence of Hino merchants who operated from the Middle Ages through the Edo period in Japan.

The museum displays showcase the sanpô yoshi principle, which emphasizes benefits for sellers, buyers, and society in Japanese business practices.

Located at 1011 Okubo Shide-cho, the museum opens from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and remains closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and New Year holidays.

Exhibits feature advanced commercial practices, including early examples of double-entry bookkeeping developed by merchant Nakai Genzaemon.
