Saiki Museum of Doppo Kunikida, Literary memorial building in Saiki, Japan.

The Saiki Museum of Doppo Kunikida is a literary memorial building in Saiki dedicated to the Meiji-period author. The two-story main structure houses manuscripts, letters, and personal objects alongside a separate storehouse with additional exhibition spaces.

The building preserves the former residence where the author lived for ten months between 1893 and 1894 while teaching at Tsurugai Academy. The museum opened in 2003 to safeguard his legacy and literary importance for future generations.

The museum reveals how Doppo connected nature and human emotion in Meiji-era Japanese literature. Walking through the exhibits, visitors can understand the importance of his literary approach during that time.

The museum spreads across the main building and a separate storehouse, so plan time to visit both spaces. Multimedia exhibits and guided tours help visitors understand the content and connect these locations to the author's life and work.

From a second-story window in his former room, visitors can see Mount Motogoshi, which inspired several of his nature-focused works. This view directly connects the space to his literary inspiration and makes his bond with the natural world tangible.
