Iruma City Museum

Iruma City Museum is a modern building featuring multiple exhibition halls dedicated to local history, traditional crafts, and natural science displays. The galleries present artifacts from different periods and local cultural traditions within clearly organized collections.

The museum was founded in 1994 and preserves artifacts from the Musashi Province period, including pottery from the Nara and Heian eras. These pieces document the region's long cultural development across several centuries.

The museum highlights the importance of Sayama tea to the region through displays of cultivation tools, processing machinery, and ritual objects that reveal deep connections to Japanese tea culture.

The museum is located a bus ride from Irumashi Station and is open daily for visitors. The grounds provide parking and are accessible by public transportation.

The museum features a traditional Japanese garden with a dedicated tea room where visitors can experience authentic tea ceremonies year-round. This hands-on connection to tea culture extends beyond the exhibits.
