Tomioka City Museum / Fukuzawa Ichiro Memorial Gallery

Tomioka City Museum is a municipal institution with collections spanning local history, archaeology, and art. The spaces feature both permanent and temporary exhibitions with works by regional and broader artistic figures.

The institution was founded in 1995 to preserve the region's artistic legacy and local history. The building was created as a sign of the community's commitment to supporting art and heritage.

The museum honors local artist Fukuzawa Ichiro, whose works were shaped by his time in France. Visitors can see here how his creations bridge Japanese artistic traditions with European influences.

The museum sits within Momijihira Park and combines art exhibitions with green spaces and recreational areas. Visitors can split their time between indoor galleries and the surrounding nature.

The site integrates art exhibitions seamlessly with a public park, a rare combination in this region. This arrangement allows visitors to enjoy both experiences in a single location.
