Miki Sawada Memorial Museum, Cultural museum in Oiso, Japan.
The museum occupies a building designed to resemble Noah's Ark, with an exhibition room on the first floor and a chapel above.
Miki Sawada, descendant of Mitsubishi founder Yataro Iwasaki, established the Elizabeth Sanders Home orphanage and collected Christian artifacts from 1936 onwards.
The collection includes 874 objects connected to hidden Christians in Japan, with one third of these items exhibited to museum visitors.
The museum opens from 10:00 to 16:00, charges 500 yen for adults and 400 yen for students and seniors, and remains closed on Mondays.
The museum stands on Iwasaki Yama hill, preserving Christian relics gathered by Miki Sawada during her forty-year collection period.
