横浜・さとうのふるさと館, Cultural museum in Yokohama, Japan

Sato no Furusato-kan is a museum in Yokohama dedicated to the region's past and local traditions. The displays show how people lived here before, what crafts they practiced, and how certain products shaped their daily lives and livelihoods.

The museum was established to preserve the history of Yokohama and its surroundings as the city transformed from a small fishing settlement into a modern metropolis. Its collection documents how crafts and production evolved in this region across generations.

The name translates to "Sato's Hometown House" and reflects a deep connection to the community's roots. Visitors experience how daily life and traditional skills were woven into the fabric of this region over time.

The museum is located in Yokohama and welcomes visitors most days, so it is helpful to check specific opening times beforehand. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the exhibits span several areas and include hands-on stations where you can try things yourself.

The museum features areas where visitors can actively participate and try traditional techniques themselves, especially related to processing products that were once central to the local economy. This allows visitors to physically understand how demanding and skilled such work actually was.
