Maizuru Chiegura

The Maizuru Chiegura stands as a red brick structure within a complex of historical warehouses, featuring exhibitions about regional development and local heritage.

The building belongs to a collection of warehouses constructed during Japan's industrial expansion, marking the economic growth of Maizuru's port in the early 1900s.

The museum presents exhibitions about local traditions, hosting workshops and events that connect residents with their regional identity through art and educational programs.

Located near central Maizuru, the museum operates regular hours and provides access to exhibitions about local history through guided tours and informative displays.

The name Chiegura translates to 'wisdom storehouse', reflecting its transformation from a maritime storage facility to an educational and cultural center in 2007.
