Hyogo Prefectural Hyogo-no-Tsu Museum

The Hyogo-no-Tsu Museum is a modern museum building in Hyogo, Japan, consisting of two connected structures: the House of Hyogo Origins and the restored First Prefectural Office Building. The collection spans multiple floors and blends traditional display areas with contemporary digital presentations.

The museum's location was once an important ancient port called Owada-no-Tomari, which later became Hyogo-no-Tsu during medieval times. The museum itself opened in November 2021 and marks this heritage on the site where those earlier activities took place.

The museum's exhibitions focus on the five districts of Hyogo Prefecture, showing objects and stories that reflect how people in each area lived and worked. As you walk through, you discover what made each district special to its residents.

You can reach the museum by subway, getting off at Chuo-Ichiba-Mae Station and walking about five minutes to the entrance. The site is flat and easy to navigate, with clear signage throughout the building.

The museum uses mixed reality technology that lets visitors experience historical events through virtual time travel and digital recreations. This interactive approach brings the location's past to life in ways that go beyond typical museum displays.
