Onomichi Historical Museum, History museum in Ginkohama district, Onomichi, Japan.

The Onomichi Historical Museum is housed in a restored bank building from the Taisho era, which now displays archaeological materials and exhibits about the region. The displays span multiple floors and show objects that document the area's past.

The building was originally constructed as a bank headquarters during the Taisho period, marking an important moment in Hiroshima Prefecture's financial development. It was later transformed into a museum to serve as a record of the region's story.

The exhibits document how the city evolved from a busy port hub into what it is today, showing the lives and crafts of people who lived here across different periods. Visitors gain insight into how maritime trade shaped local traditions and daily routines.

The museum is roughly 15 minutes on foot from JR Onomichi Station and easy to locate from there. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the route passes through hilly streets.

The building retains architectural details from its days as a modern bank structure, offering visitors a glimpse of early 20th-century design choices. This mix of old banking architecture and museum displays tells a story about how the city valued progress.
